We recently asked the girls to play at our wedding and they were just brilliant! They played classical music during the church ceremony and in the evening swapped to their electric strings and were just fantastic. They were so helpful beforehand, making sure we were happy with the music, suggesting what would be good, and they really helped to make our day very special. Thanks, girls!
