11/10 recommend!

We got married this past August and were looking for musicians to play during the wedding ceremony. I am SO happy that we went with Duo Purla. They were so easy with work with and I completely felt like we were in great hands. They provide you with a long list of songs so it's pretty easy to pick out music from their selection. They also allow you to choose one song that isn't on the list that they'll learn to play for your event. The music was absolutely beautiful and I'm really happy that we went with a guitarist because it made music sound beautifully unique. Thank you again, Duo, you helped make our day so special!
