Emma and David performed at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and they were wonderful, I cannot fault them. Communication with Emma prior to the event was perfect, they played exactly what and how they said they would on the day and the music itself was beautiful. We can't thank them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Wow, what amazing performers! Thanks so much guys for adding some real sparkle to our ceremony and for staying and playing for our guests during the drinks reception. You played beautifully and we got so many great compliments from guests. With the setting and the music, people said they felt like they were in Bridgerton. Sadly we'll not be needing you guys again any time soon (no way I'm planning another wedding!) but we wish you all the best and can't recommend you more highly. :)
