What a charming duo!! Thank you so much for making a wonderful evening even more memorable and fun. Beautiful music and voice.
Came on time, straightforward to book, exceedingly pleasant to deal with and we hope we can book you again at some point!
After seeing the Modern Swing Society at an event we went to years ago, we immediately took their card, knowing we would use them for our wedding (we weren’t even engaged).
The teapots were the second thing I booked for my wedding, once I had the venue, I immediately called them.
They were so lovely and so easy to work with when making wedding plans. I really appreciated that they were happy to do any song we wanted during the ceremony. And we were completely on the same page when it came to style for the reception.
I walked down the aisle to “Here comes the sun” and having her sing it so beautifully was so emotional and intimate and exactly what I envisioned for my big moment.
During and after the wedding I received endless high praise for them both, and a few friends were very appreciative of the 90s rnb tracks they slipped in as requested at the drinks reception.
Thank you for setting the scene so beautifully and being the cherry on top of my perfect wedding!!
