“We booked Reverie to play at our wedding, they performed a chilled out set just after dinner before the party got started and then another set later on in the evening, kicking it off by singing our first dance song! They were absolutely amazing and made our wedding day. The afternoon set was a great touch and so many guests commented on how lovely it was to have live singers during that period of time. And the evening set was exactly what we had hoped for, the dancefloor was full the whole time and a great time was had by all they even had the oldies up dancing! Highly recommended by us. ”
