About

Husband & wife duo performing stripped down cover versions of our favorite songs for couples on their wedding day. Our musical style is a bit pop, a bit folk, a bit Motown, and a bit alternative country; more specifically, we cover Amy Winehouse, Leon Bridges, Norah Jones, Prince, Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan, The Turtles, Ryan Adams, Mamas & Papas - we're always working on the next best song to add to our set.

Our specialties are cocktail hours and ceremony music, learning songs on request for the processional, recessional, and first dance. We'd love to play for you!

Absolutely amazing duo!

Anna and Dave added a whole other dimension to our wedding ceremony! They were absolutely incredible. I had requested some specific songs (some which were Irish traditional songs) and Anna and Dave had no problem meeting that request. Many of our guests commented on how perfect and emotive the music was. Anna and Dave also accommodated a thunderstorm which meant we had to move the ceremony inside and move the schedule around a little! Thank you guys so so much!

Perfect Ceremony Music

The High Spirits were wonderful to work with for my ceremony! The acoustic guitar and vocals were perfect! They learned 2 songs for us and they were flawless!

Amazing ceremony and cocktail hour musicians!

Anna and Dave were such an amazing addition to our wedding! We had hired a DJ for the reception/dancing but wanted live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and we're so glad we hired The High Spirits. Anna was so responsive and quick to answer all of my questions leading up to the wedding, and she and Dave were willing to learn several new songs that we requested for the processional and recessional music - and did an amazing job with all of them! We got so many compliments about how special and unique our ceremony was, and The High Spirits were a huge part of making it so wonderful. We would absolutely recommend them to anybody looking for ceremony and cocktail hour musicians!

Fantastic ceremony/cocktail hour music!

We hired the High Spirits for our ceremony & cocktail hour for our June wedding in Vermont. They were fabulous to work with throughout! Super responsive leading up and their performances were exactly what we wanted. They were also very flexible & understanding after we decided to change a ceremony song somewhat last minute. Highly recommend!!

At last and forever starts today

The music was an absolutely beautiful. The one wish my wife wanted for our wedding day was live music and she couldn't have been happier.

exceeded our expectations

We had Anna and Dave perform at our small intimate wedding and they were absolutely amazing. We had a few special songs that they learned for our wedding and we loved them. Anna has a beautiful voice and their music was exactly what we were looking for. We received many compliments from our guests about how great the music was. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a classy and intimate music option for your special event. Thank you again Anna and Dave for being a part of our special day!

Cool and Unique

I absolutely love working with Anna and Dave and I highly recommend them. They are so flexible and accommodating, they always go above and beyond to provide my clients with the best experience. Their vibe is cool and unique, not your typical wedding band!

The High Spirits Duo made our wedding absolutely perfect! They were so easy to work with and their music sounded amazing even with waves crashing in the background! We were so excited when we stumbled upon them and then having them perform at our ceremony was just beautiful! Thank you so much!
