Absolutely beautiful music!

The Dandelion Pickers were so patient, thoughtful, and flexible! They incorporated our individual requests to provide the most beautiful music for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. Being able to walk down the aisle to such a lovely melody is a memory I will never forget! I would highly recommend their services.

Overall great experience!

The Dandelion Pickers were always professional and fast to respond to emails throughout our wedding planning. We had no issues when they played before/after the ceremony, and everyone raved about their music!

We chose The Dandelion Pickers, Kirk & Emily, to play for our wedding ceremony. They were very responsive via email when I had questions. They made choosing songs for our ceremony very flexible and easy - they know how to play a wide variety of genres and eras of music, and even learned a new song for our ceremony. They were so accommodating, coming to our rehearsal and wedding day back-to-back, and for a very reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone looking to add a beautiful sound to their event. We had many compliments about the guitar and violin duo at our wedding!

The Dandelion Pickers were so awesome! They were always quick to respond to emails and worked with us for the whole wedding planning process! We had an outdoor home wedding and Kirk playing for our ceremony was just totally perfect. Would definitely recommend them!

Kirk and Emily made our ceremony awesome. We wanted some relatively unorthodox songs to be played and they absolutely nailed them. Our friends and family were so impressed and we are forever in their debt for making our special day one-of-a-kind.

Emily and Kirk were great to work with! We had a few songs we loved and wanted for our walk down the aisle and they played them perfectly! I didn't hear the songs they played before I walked down the aisle but all our guests said they were lovely and also loved having live music at our outdoor ceremony! Thank you so much Dandelion Pickers! I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music for their event, reception or wedding ceremony!

Live music is better! I went to a wedding where a DJ played during the ceremony and decided I needed to have live music at my wedding. My dad actually found Emily and Kirk and gushed about how great they were at a wedding he attended, so I contacted them. I got a response back within hours and they were so accommodating! I was planning my wedding from out of state, so I was stressed, but they stayed in contact. I picked a song that was a bit different and they nailed it! They never judged the songs I picked, or tried to push me in a more traditional way. Kirk sang to a song that is special to my husband as the wedding party walked down and then they both played a song, which I added about a month before my wedding, as I walked down the aisle. If I hadn't been worried about my makeup, I would have broke down right there because the music was so moving. Emily and Kirk showed up to rehearsal, and practiced the songs to the timing of everyone walking, and then ran with it the next day as everyone walked a completely different pace the day of! The brought their own tent, microphone, etc. which was nice because those little details are what seem to be the worst when trying to plan. They figured out where everyone would be during the rehearsal and then picked their spot accordingly. The day of, they set up, stayed out of the way, and played beautifully! I really couldn't have asked for more. I got so many compliments on the music and how well they played! I am so glad I made room in my budget for them; they really helped make my day special!
