Incredible

Carla and her band performed at cocktail hour and dinner during our wedding reception and also sang the processional and recessional songs for the ceremony and they absolutely killed it. They are incredible musicians and were one of the best parts of the night. You should definitely book them!

Absolutely amazing!

We hired Carbonlily for our wedding reception of 80-ish guests in a clean, modern setting and they were an absolute hit! Such a classy touch! We recieve TONS of compliments about their performance and we could not be more pleased. Carla's covers were absolutely fun, lively and upbeat as I had requested. They played music everyone could relate to and enjoy. She was responsive to all my questions and random emails. They showed up on time and did the deed as expected. I would highly highly highly recommend Carbonlily.

I hired them to play for an event we had. Talk about incredible.......They engaged with the crowd, the music was amazing and not overbearing. Book early though as she tends to fill up, and trust me you dont want to miss out on her.

Carbonlily was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. It was outside in a vineyard in Fredericksburg tx and she played for our cocktail hour. As my new husband and I were taking pictures in the meadow, I could hear her music float over the the land. As I glanced over, I could see everyone was enjoying themselves while listening to the music, and it also made the picture time for us to be very romantic. She set the perfect mood for this moment. I am very appreciative and very satisfied overall.

We enjoyed hosting Carbon Lily here on Campus! She sang beautifully and caught the attention of many of our students. We hope to bring her back in the future!

Carbonlily, was one of the first parts to our ceremony that I secured! I have herd them in other venues and knew way before I started planning that I wanted the music to be part of our special day. I could hear them start right after the ceremony as I was getting ready for our reception. Carlynne was so kind in dealing with a bride that was all over the place. She was calm and reassuring with each conversation. I didn't have to worry about them knowing what to do since they are so professional and the music was wonderful. I highly recommend booking them as soon as you know you want live music!
