I couldn’t speak more highly of Kate and Alex. Two of the most professional and compassionate people I’ve had the pleasure to meet and also had the opportunity to work with. They are always kind, welcoming, calm and compliment each other perfectly. I only want the best for them.

Where do I even begin with these two. Besides the fact that they are incredibly talented musicians, having their energy present at our wedding ceremony was an absolute blessing. Kate has the most wonderful voice and Alex is incredible on more than one instrument. They really work in unison and flourish in their togetherness. Their creations feel effortless, like they just “get each other”, and as cheesy as it sounds, they spread love. It’s difficult to explain if you haven’t experienced it in person, their musical talent alone is outstanding. Beyond that though, they are incredibly professional. Our song recommendations were embraced with excitement, their equipment request was concise and to the point. Nothing was complicated, they integrated with staff and guests and spread their positivity throughout the day. And when the rain started during our outdoor-ceremony, and the technicians unplugged the stereo equipment, they did not hesitate one minute, laughed it off, improvised without speakers, switched instruments and made it even more special than we could have imagined in our wildest dreams.
