Best decision to hire them!!

These guys were our first vendors hired after we secured our venue and we are SO HAPPY we had them. They are wonderful people and insanely talented musicians, and they are so chill, flexible and kind. Our first venue canceled on us 4 months from the wedding date, and they pivoted quickly and signed on for our new date and venue. They learned two new songs to play alongside two vocalist performances during our ceremony, and jammed out during cocktail hour before becoming our emcees and DJs for the reception. They even made it work when we had a last-minute rain plan go into action. My guests will not stop talking about how great the music was throughout the whole event. Tim and Anthony were nothing but a joy to work with. They are all good vibes and good music. I hope to make it to another of their gigs soon!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

Boaté & Ajluni Duo are wonderful!

Tim and Anthony were such a perfect addition to our wedding day. They played guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and their music created such a beautiful and romantic atmosphere. Everything felt elegant, personal, and seamless, and we received so many compliments from our guests about them.

They were professional, talented, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. We are so grateful they were part of our celebration and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible guitar duo for their wedding. Thank you Tim and Anthony!

High praise for this duo

So glad we chose this duo for our daughter’s wedding. Their musicianship was excellent for both the ceremony and cocktail hour and they switched into DJ mode for the rest of our event. They were totally prepared, had plenty of equipment for the various places and kept in touch throughout the process. All our guests were very happy with the classy and touching acoustic music and enjoyed all the party music as well. Great way to go for all your music needs with no compromises. 10/10 would use them again!

Stress free ceremony and reception music

This review is long overdue. Tim and Anthony were great to work with. They responded quickly to questions and their emails were clear with what information they needed. We booked them for both the ceremony and reception. They learned a new song for me to surprise my husband with when I walked down the aisle and helped keep it a secret. They executed everything perfectly; highly recommend.

Perfect Music for our Barn Wedding!

Tim & Anthony (Boate & Ajluni Duo) were absolutely fantastic for our barn/winery wedding in Fall 2024. They were very easy and accommodating to work with in advance - super professional and responsive. They showed up on time and their music was absolutely gorgeous. It was a tranquil and lovely backtrack to the breezy day. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Perfect Choice

As soon as we got engaged, these guys were the first vendors that I wanted to secure. After watching videos and listening to clips of them playing their guitar duo, I knew I wanted them for our wedding. This duo is so talented and they did not disappoint! They even learned 2 songs of our choice to add to their repertoire for the evening. Their transition into DJing for the reception was great too, they kept us on the dance floor! We are so happy to have had them for our special day!

Outstanding and Talented

Tim and Anthony were fantastic to work with for our wedding. They came highly recommended by our wedding venue and we quickly realized why. It was clear from our initial outreach they were responsive and professional. We loved the fact that we were able to customize our song choices for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception but at the same time they provided great recommendations and their website supplied a collection of many sample songs. They accommodated our preferences seamlessly at every part of the day. Tim and Anthony are so talented - we were very happy to find one vendor that could both provide live acoustic music and create a great energy as DJs during the reception. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Boaté & Ajluni is the only Wedding duo you’ll need

Boaté and Ajluni were simply incredible! They kept the party going with a great flow of classic tunes and recent hits, while also being incredibly flexible with all of my demands. The best part however, and what sets them apart from your typical DJs, is that they play acoustic guitar, which gave our wedding such an intimate feel and created the perfect background music for my wife and I to have a special moment and entrance to our wedding. There truly was nothing better than hearing them play as dinner began and the guitar music was a highlight for us. Look no further than Boaté a Ajluni for your wedding, as I truly believe they can hang with any DJ, but with the addition of acoustic guitar, they are unmatched in the space. Thank you so much Boaté and Ajluni for creating such an impeccable atmosphere for our wedding, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you both and my wife and I wish you both the best in your endeavors!

Outstanding musicians

We decided to hire the very best for our wedding music, and so glad we did. The Boate & Ajluni Duo handled prelude music, cocktail music at the reception, and even two hours of the best dancing music ever. We wanted to hold a very classy and fun party for our reception. They were the perfect match. The compliments about the music keep pouring in, well after the event! We were very pleased and highly recommend this extremely talented and versatile duo to everyone for their big event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
