The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

Olivia was so wonderful to work with! From finding her on wedding wire and sending my inquiry, she very quickly responded with availability and was so reliable! She responded to every email in less than a day from start to finish. This particularly stood out to me as many vendors I encountered were slow/non responsive. She arrived on time to the ceremony with her own supplies (small extra cost included in my total) and executed it all perfectly. She had to extend the processional song (I think??) due so slow grandparents walking but it was smooth and flawless. She played for a total of about 50 minutes. 30 minutes leading up to the ceremony, about 10 minutes of the ceremony, and 10 minutes afterwards. I would highly recommend Olivia for all of your event or wedding needs!
