Acoustic Duos for hire in Barnsley
Latest reviews of our Acoustic Duos in Barnsley
"The Night Time Serenaders were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They played during our cocktail hour and created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for - joyful, relaxed, interactive and ridiculously fun. We gave them a fairly extensive list of music we loved, grouped loosely by different eras and styles, but trusted them to read the room and run with it. They absolutely nailed it. They moved effortlessly amongst our guests, the musicianship was fantastic, and they gave the whole drinks reception this brilliant sense of occasion without it ever feeling staged. We also asked them to help bring everyone into the wedding breakfast, which was such a fun transition and another little moment that made the day feel uniquely ours. We had so many compliments from guests afterwards. If you want live music that immediately gives a wedding personality and gets people involved, these guys are wonderful."

"This was a late booking but I had no worries that Andy would be on it, without me having to worry about anything. They liaised direct wth the wedding team and they worked out the best approach due to the August rain. They sounded fantastic. They created a lovely warm ambience for the drinks reception. They also accommodated the flex we needed on timings because rain causing delays. Would 100% recommend! "
