    Best Wedding Entertainment Music Duo!

    Acute Inflections was the cherry on top of our musical wedding entertainment! El and Sadika were wonderful to work with. Their styles and music are indeed one of a kind, and we highly recommend them for any wedding or event. They played during our cocktail hour, and we truly wish we had them perform for longer. Their ability to capture a crowd's attention and blend their jazz style with modern and timeless classics was unparralled and perfect for the diverse ranges of ages and musical tastes. We loved their style, including their stylish outfits and vibrant personalities. El and Sadika really brighten and enliven a room with their performances. Thank you El and Sadika from the bottom of our hearts for adding such great energy and an unforgettable experience to our wedding.

    Simply the BEST!

    Acute Inflections was the music of our wedding reception. This was always the plan for our intimate, upstate, wedding. However, when COVID made our wedding even smaller--Acute Inflections was the constant that tied our festivities together. It was so special to have Elasea MC our speeches and the evening (she's just the most delightful) and to have time to get to know both her and Sadiki. They are a funny, dynamic duo with otherworldly talent, humor, and grace. To this day, our people are still telling us that Acute Inflections was the best thing we could have done for our wedding---and we couldn't agree more!

    Caring Vendors in the Time of Covid

    My husband and I planned our microwedding in 20 days. I found Acute Inflections by chance and could not have been more happy to have them be a part of our special day. They were caring and understanding which made planning a wedding at the last minute during covid a breeze. I loved that they were truly invested in us having our special day rather than trying to nickel and dime us. I was blown away when we received a recording of three of our songs so we can have for the years to come. I highly recommend Acute Inflections for your wedding day or any special event for that matter as it so hard to find great vendors. Thank you so much for making our day special!

    The absolute BEST!

    We first saw Acute Inflections perform when they had a residency at The Four Seasons in NYC and were blown away by their talent. So much so, we decided to work with them for our wedding reception at The Nomad Hotel. We, and our guests were blown away!! They even took the time out to learn music by Queen and P!nk , it was amazing. I can’t recommend them enough. You will NOT be disappointed. Oh, and they are A GORGEOUS couple!!!

    We LOVE Acute Inflections!

    We had Acute Inflections play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were incredible! We requested a down the aisle song that was not part of their list (All eyes on you - St. Lucia) and they crushed it! They were really great at mixing both the new and old classics with songs like Redbone and I will always love you. The next couple of days after the wedding we got many requests from friends and family for their name/spotify/instagram information. We plan to go see them again when they are back at the Beekman hotel for brunch. Would highly recommend them!

    An elegant touch!

    Acute Inflections performed at our wedding cocktail hour and they were absolutely fantastic and an elegant touch to our evening. Our guests raved about the beauty of their sound and their sophisticated look which they tailored to meet the exact vibe we were hoping for. We highly recommend them!

    The perfect band!

    We hired Acute Inflections to play during our post-wedding brunch at Harry's NYC, and I am not exaggerating when I say that their presence completely made the party. They set the perfect tone, and we still get compliments to this day about how wonderful they were. Not to mention they were an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. Can't recommend them highly enough!!!

    Great Experience!

    It was a great experience working with Acute Inflections. From the moment we saw them perform, we knew that they would be wonderful for our wedding. They were very responsive and always on time. Our guests commented on how talented they were. They really set the tone for our wedding. We highly recommend them!

    The best decision for our wedding

    Initially we hired Acute Inflections’s for our ceremony and later changed our minds and hired them for the entire duration of our wedding, so glad we did!

    They were easy to work with and really understood what we was going for. Our guest loved them!

    Timeless tunes for our special day

    Elasea and Sadiki are mesmerizing. Our guests at our wedding were fascinated by their vintage flare and their unique versions of modern hits. My husband and I were first drawn to Acute inflections at a bridal expo in which the entire room was drawn to their jazzy, sultry, romantic vibe. We knew we needed them at our wedding! From the moment we started working with both of these top performers, Sadiki and Elasea were professional and truly worked with us to customize our wedding day performances. They even created a custom wedding song for us that floored our guests and provided for a perfect moment. We cannot speak enough about how pleasant it was working with Sadiki and Elasea. My husband and I highly recommend Acute Inflections for your special day!

    Amazing to work with & special touch for our wedding

    We had the best experience working with Acute Inflections for our wedding. They performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour which added a really special touch to our day. The guests were raving about them afterwards. They were so flexible and communicative leading up to our wedding and always went above and beyond to make sure everything would go smoothly. Thank you Elasea and Sadiki for everything!

    Outstanding in every way!

    You cannot find a better duo than Acute Inflections! We heard them at our friends' wedding, and knew we needed them at our own.

    The Acute Inflections already have an amazing set list of songs to choose from - they even personalized our ceremony songs (including Beyonce!) and performed all beautifully. They also dress to fit your venue (and look quite good doing it!).

    Our guests were so smitten with them, one of the most common compliments we received after the wedding was how much they enjoyed our music. They are also the nicest people and are so easy to work with.

    Do yourself a favor and hire the Acute Inflections! You will NOT be disappointed.

    The Perfect Sound for your Dream Wedding

    These two are just perfect. We booked them to perform as our guests arrived, then during our ceremony, and through cocktail hour. With only a bass and a voice, Acute Inflections can truly set the tone for your dream wedding. We were able to customize our songs to fit the exact mood we were trying to create, and they even coordinated their outfits to match our colors and venue. Six months later, our guests are still commenting on how good they were, and we're so lucky to have their music playing on our wedding video. You will NOT be disappointed with their incredible talent and professionalism.

    Best Addition to Our Wedding!

    Words cannot describe how much we loved working with Elasea & Sadiki! They were the last vendor we booked since a jazz duo wasn't a "necessity" but it was the best decision we made for our wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with and very proactive with everything. They learned custom songs for our ceremony to make sure our ceremony vision came to life. Every guest we have talked to since the wedding has talked about the ambiance they created for the ceremony and how emotional it was. They have also mentioned what a treat the cocktail reception was due to their performance. We have even had guests write social media posts about them! Highly recommend including Acute Inflections in your wedding, you will not be disappointed!Read Less

    Perfect addition to our wedding

    During wedding planning, I had envisioned live singers at our cocktail hour, but was having a tough time finding something that fit my needs - and then I found Acute Inflections. All our guests were blown away by how talented they were. Their team was responsive and professional. They even sing Hindi songs (which was a huge crowd pleaser!) Definitely recommend them to any looking for fantastic and talented musicians

    Our experience with Acute Inflections

    Both Elasea and Sadiki were awesome! upbeat and appropriate @ all times! From the moment they arrived @ the actual ceremony to the reception. Great song selection and very happy to accommodate both the bride and groom and guests alike!

    Highly recommend!

    Elasea and Sadiki are very professional, well dressed and extremely talented! I was a bit skeptical of a vocal and bass duo at first but after watching them perform live at The Lotte New York Palace, it was the easiest decision we made. They provided the music for our wedding procession, recession, and cocktail hour. Elasea has the sweetest voice and she and Sadiki are quite versatile with their ability to blend different styles of music easily. Everyone loved the music and kept asking for their information afterwards to see them live or recommend to others. I strongly recommend Elasea and Sadiki to anyone looking to add live music to their wedding or other events

    Helped make our day

    They performed beautifully throughout our wedding. They impressed our guests, they impressed the other vendors, and they impressed us. If you're considering live music, booking Acute Inflections will set your event apart.

    Amazing Professional Singer and Musician

    As a Wedding Planner, I had the pleasure to work with Acute Inflections for a beautiful wedding ceremony in July. Elasea & Sadiki are really professional. They responded to all my questions, were flexible and responsive. They are amazing singer and musician and they look phenomenal (they can even match their attire to your theme, color or décor!). I definitely recommend them for any stylish events.

    I originally saw Acute Inflections playing at The Times Square hotel and was blown away at just how great they were. I had never heard current music put to jazz before and absolutely loved what they could do. I had recently got engaged and knew that I needed them to play at my dream wedding.
    When I reached out to them they immediately asked what my favorite sort of music was and told me that they can tailor their clothing and music to exactly what I wanted for my special day. I was so impressed by them that I chose instead of having them for just the cocktail hour I wanted them there for the entire dinner and for our first dance.
    Acute inflections asked in advance what particular song I would like for walking down the aisle and which would we like for our first dance so we could practice our moves before the big day. I found this very helpful and loved listening to their music again as this reminded me of how beautiful they sounded.
    On my wedding day I walked down the aisle to ‘I can't help falling in love with you,’ I was nervous but I caught a glimpse of Elasea’s smile which immediately put me at ease. Their version of this song still gives me tingles, they performed it so beautifully that most of my guests had a tear in their eye.
    Everyone complimented the music and the connection that Elasea and Sadiki have when they perform is magical.
    I highly recommend this duo, they are so incredible and would be perfect for any occasion.

    As a Mother of the Bride, one who coordinated a Manhattan wedding from Dallas, I cannot say enough about how formidable, warm, congenial and purely sentimental Acute Inflections were for my daughter's wedding. They captivated every guest, brought incredible touches words cannot explain.. they made songs we all love all their own and is there's a word that perhaps captures them well it would be MESMERIZING. You cannot go wrong in the hire of Acute Inflections. If ever I have a big event in Dallas, this is who I need to travel to Dallas to make the night most memorable.

    I cannot speak highly enough of this extraordinary duo. They were exceptional in every way: communication, planning, and, of course, their beautiful performance. So many guests stopped to tell me how much they loved Elasea and Sadiki’s performance at our cocktail hour. In fact, one of my friends texted me as soon as we got back from our honeymoon to ask how he could book them for his own wedding. The text he sent me should be all you need to know. It read: “They were amazing. They were epic. We were both like ‘wuuuuuuuuuuuh?!’” Beyond how fabulous their performance is (and it REALLY is!), they are wonderful people who were the easiest vendors I worked with in the planning process. If you’d like to add a classy, unique, sophisticated element to your wedding, they should be at the top of your list!

    As the Professionalism category states, TOP NOTCH!. Had an absolute ball on our wedding day & it always comes down to the music & food that has the crowd feeling the way you want them to be. Seriously, Elasea & Sadiki, you made everyone jam out to your beautiful jazzy, reggae beats. Being surrounded by buildings in a hidden garden down East Village way, it was the perfect addition to our amazing day. I can't recommend Acute Inflections enough for any wedding or Jazz bar. They have their own playlist of songs but are also up for any other additions to suit what your after on the day. Values worth... bloody oath they are worth every penny.

    We had the pleasure of working with Acute Inflections, Elasea & Sadiki for our July wedding. Throughout the process, Elasea and Sadiki were extremely accommodating, professional, and down to earth. Our guests were absolutely blown away by their incredible talent! We would love to have the opportunity to work with them again and recommend them to anyone hosting an event!

    Acute Inflections made our wedding! There was not a single guest that failed to mention how amazing their cocktail hour set was. They covered "First day of my life" for our first dance and everyone was blown away. We had family members asking for recordings of the covers! The staff at our venue all said that they made extra trips outside just to hear the music. The sound and energy is just unparalleled. We knew we wanted something other than just a dj but really couldn't have imagined anything as great as Acute Inflections. From the moment we contacted them, almost a year before our wedding (7/22/17), they were the most attentive and caring vendor to work with. Sadiki and Elasea are just masterful musicians and they can transform any song into the most unique, and jazzy interpretation. They were so incredibly kind and generous with their time, responding to all our ideas, talking things through with us, making every effort to get to know us and our vision. We went to see them a few times before our wedding and they played songs they had learned for us as well as covers they thought we'd like. Our wedding day was a little bit crazy but they made everything we imagined happen, including a beautiful first dance, without missing a beat even though the environment didn't lend itself to the smoothest set up. My only regret is that we didn't get to enjoy them more during cocktail hour because we were running around so much, my husband said we should have forfitted our private moment pre reception for the time at cocktail hour listening to Acute Inflections set! If you're looking for a truly original addition to your wedding, or any party, you'd be remiss not to get in touch with sadiki and elasea. There is truly no other group like them. Go see them and you'll see for yourself! Elasea and Sadiki - thank you!!

    Having Acute Inflections at our wedding was a privilege. Elasea and Sadiki were so good when we heard them perform live that we decided to have them play our 150-guest wedding dinner reception. It was one of the best decisions we made! Our guests raved about them all night, and we received many questions afterwards about “Who was that band?” Their jazzy covers helped create a sophisticated and intimate ambiance and kept the evening upbeat and romantic. On top of being some of the most talented musicians we’ve met, they are simply great people -- funny, easy-going, and authentic. They were consummate professionals and paid attention to all the details, everything from how their outfits blended with the venue to how music transitioned to other parts of the program, making sure there was always background music even when they were not playing. Elasea and Sadiki’s passion for their music really shines through in their performances and the way they approach every project. They even made a custom, unique Acute Inflections arrangement of our first dance song. Thanks to their talent, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm, it was a musically unforgettable night. Thank you, Acute Inflections!

    This amazing duo performed for my husband and I at our wedding at the Grand Marquis in Old Bridge, NJ. Superb! That's one of the many words I can use to describe the entertainment displayed by Acute Inflections. They performed during our very elegant, very grown-up, supper club style cocktail hour, as well as for our first dance. Guests have shared that they felt like royalty at the cocktail hour. We felt as though we were the only two in the room as we danced to their melodies for our first dance. Guests continuously tell us about how they felt it was their first dance as well.

    Elegance, class, and sophistication are the best way to describe them. From their stunning and debonair look, to their sultry sound, they will make you want to have a wedding again and again. They were the icing on the cake for our day! I highly recommend that if you are seeking professionals, who provide service a step above the rest, look no further! Acute Inflections will deliver! We look forward to having them entertain for our 10th anniversary. Thank you Acute Inflections!

    We cannot rave about this dynamic duo enough! They are exceptionally talented and compliment each other better than cookies and milk! We had so many people come up to us and tell us how they were one of their favorite parts of our wedding. If you'd like to add some style, class and sophistication to any type of event, these two should be on the top of your list of vendors to book!

    In addition to their professionalism, their talent and work ethic are outstanding. Let me explain:

    My wife is an avid music lover and event coordinator. I'm a classically trained musician and also a deejay. Together we own and operate an entertainment & event planning boutique specializing in weddings and other major productions. Needless to say, music is a passion of ours and we knew it was going to play a major role in our wedding. We'd heard AI perform at an industry event and immediately fell in love with their presence and musicality. Sadiki has this smoothness about him. Seriously, he's silky smooth. Like, straight from the Harlem Renaissance smooth. He plays his upright confidently yet in a fashion that doesn't fight Elesea's vocals...his playing and her vocals are in a harmonious relationship. Elasea exudes class and grace from the moment she arrives to the moment she sings her last note. Her vocals, smooth and lustrous. What stood out most to me is that we were treated, not like just another client, but with individuality. During one of our consults we were asked what types of music we like and they took if from there, suggesting songs that would create the mood we were looking. To top it off, they even played traditional Dominican music with a jazzy feel. My family were blown away when they heard these songs being sung in Spanish! What a special touch.

    Really and truly, I can't say enough great things about the experience. Book them. Now!

    Acute Inflections performed at our wedding. Two words that come to mind when asked to describe them : Absolutely Incredible!!! Its been 2 months since our wedding and people continue to ask us about them. Their performance was exceptional, playing a mix of different songs, old and new, with their own unique style embedded throughout, including a few surprise songs they picked up based on our conversations prior. They were one of the highlights of our wedding. They are extremely pleasant to work with, very accommodating and all the while maintaining a very professional demeanor. I would highly recommend Acute Inflections. They brought a new and incredible energy to our wedding making it even more of special time for all.

    As soon as we found Acute Inflections and watched their videos we knew we wanted to book them for our wedding! We were married in New York but booked everything from our home in Australia. We found Sadiki so easy to deal with over email and over the phone and really professional. They also learned 3 new songs for us that sounded amazing. On the day of the wedding everyone commented on how good they sounded and looked! and the event staff enjoyed dealing with them. Cannot fault them at all - we just wish we could hear their music again as our guests got to enjoy more of them than we did. If you want a classy & cool duo for your event then do not hesitate to book Acute Inflections.

    Acute Inflections is AMAZING!!! They are absolutely the coolest, grooviest duo you can find to have a gorgeous and memorable ceremony! They also played our cocktail hour and every guest fell in love with them!! They were so easy to work with, totally present and interested in giving YOU (the couple) whatever you want for your event. They learned a new song for us, sent a ton of suggestions when we weren't sure what we wanted, and then day of: THEY BLEW EVERYONE AWAY! We got so many comments and compliments by our guests, we were so happy we made that decision. I had known from when I first saw them, that they were exactly what we wanted, and they totally delivered above and beyond anything we could have hoped! I already wish I had another event to have them perform at! You will not be disappointed if you 're looking for something special, unique, memorable, and most of all, they have the most gorgeous and appealing look and sound that your guests will be talking about them for months to come, because ours still mention them when we talk about our wedding! I really can't say enough great things about them. So happy we hired them!

    Having Acute Inflections perform during my ceremony and reception created an incredibly unique experience for my guests. Their sound and their look was so beautiful, and they did completely original and moving takes on the classic songs I chose for my bridesmaids and I to walk down the aisle to. It was honestly so lovely half of my friends and family were brought to tears. For our wedding dance, they once again did a completely original version of our song and it was incredible! Everyone loved it, and was so surprised and asking where I found this magnificent duo. I can't say enough about how happy I am that I chose (say their names, I forget their full names) to be a part of my special day.

    My husband Tony and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, May 30, 2015. I was very meticulous with the details of this celebration. I wanted entertainment that my guest of 170 would remember long after the party ended. Keep in mind that their ages ranged from 18 to 88. I did not want the normal string violin duo, quartet, etc. Piano would have been nice but not necessary when it came to Acute Inflections. After searching various websites for several months, I joined “WeddingWire” where I happened to see and hear an attractive couple whose chemistry jumped through the computer. Acute Inflection’s Sadiki Pierre who brilliantly plays upright bass, along with the melodious voice of Elasea Douglas was spot on.
    I watched their YouTube videos several times and had to have them at our event to make it even more memorable. My favorite bride-entrance song at our ceremony in 1990 was Ave Maria, which was sung by a male vocalist accompanied with an organ. I thought it was beautifully performed then, so I asked Acute Inflections to perform this piece. OMG! I get emotional even now hearing their performance of this song in my head. I also requested that they perform for the processional, “A Couple of Forevers” and “Unbreakable” for the recessional song. Both songs, along with many others were equally superbly done. At my receiving line, my guest were inquiring as to where I found this unique couple.
    Tony and I thank Acute Inflections for helping to make our 25th Anniversary party the talk of the decade. Everyone agrees that we had the best ever party that any of them had attended in their life. I can’t wait for our video to be completed! I would recommend anyone planning an event should hire this dynamic duo to get an above and beyond show; you will not regret it!

    I'm not much of a music lover and just wanted our wedding to be special for my wife. I admit that I wasn't thrilled when she hired these guys but they made me a believer. The singer's voice elicits emotion like nothing I've ever heard before or since and I can listen to the bass lines and the sound of this double bass player for hours. Acute Inflections is flat out hypnotizing and there's no way our wedding would have been a resounding success without them. A few of our friends have booked them for their upcoming weddings because of what they experienced at our wedding and I think that says it all.

    This guys are flat out amazing. My hubby and I loved there sound and look, how in sync they are, all of the different styles they use to turn songs you know into new experiences so we hired them for our first dance and dinner music. There were a ton of fun to listen to and really added a loving ambience to everything. One thing I really appreciated with them was how responsive they were before our wedding. They actually had a million questions for us and you could tell they wanted to make sure that they understood our vision completely. That really helped things go smoothly. Quite professional. I kinda hate giving a perfect rating but I can’t find anything to complain about with them. We’ve become huge Acute Inflections fans and recommend them to all of our friends.

    Acute Inflections performed at my wedding in Martha’s Vineyard. They were beyond amazing!! I have never heard anything quite like it and neither have my husband and guests. The sole combination of an amazing voice and an unbelievable upright bassist is not only unique, but also electrifying. I really wish they had an album, because I could listen to them all day. If you book them, you will be more than impressed and marveled. Their exclusive sound and classy look added an impeccable touch to my entire wedding. Also, they have their own transportation and that made it very convenient for me. Their travel fee was reasonable, which helped cut down on some of my wedding costs. I highly recommend Acute Inflections to anyone getting married!

    Acute Inflections was all my wedding guests were talking about. They sound and look amazing and they are VERY creative. We gave them a list of our favorite songs for our first dance and dinner and they changed the styles but somehow made them better and more interesting to listen to. We also liked observing the energy between the two of them. It really added a sexiness to our wedding that we wouldn't have gotten with a traditional wedding band or classical group. We couldn't be happier that we used them.

    I was extremely impressed with Acute Inflections! There were some last minute changes due to weather and they moved their entire set up for me, not once, not twice- but 3 times! They were so flexible and went with the flow of the event. I was sooo happy to have them. The performance was magical and I didn't have to micro-manage them...they just got it! I will certainly work with Acute Inflections again and would recommend you do as well!

    I can’t say enough about the amazing gifts Elasea and Sadiki possess, and the flawless job these two did at our wedding. Acute Inflections performed at our hour-long cocktail reception and left all of our guests in aw! We made our decision to use Acute Inflections because we wanted to cater to all the different walks of life who were invited to our wedding. From soul to reggae, pop to jazz, they covered it all and had everyone’s toes tapping as the ambiance consumed them! Their great skill coupled with their amazing style and adaptability to our layout issues (it rained!!) made them the ideal choice and one of biggest highlights of our special day. Couldn’t have envisioned anything different, thanks Acute Inflections!!

    My wife and I still remain very pleased to have had the services of Acute Inflections at our wedding in August 2014. They were the perfect fit for our cocktail hour, and dinner service. They are friendly and easy to work with, and we felt they truly cared about making our day special as much as we did. When planning a wedding the last thing you want to worry about is a vendor who isn't committed as much as the bride and groom. This will never be the case with Acute Inflections as they consistently displayed excellent attention to detail, and flexibility.

    I recently utilized Acute Inflections for a Martial Arts Organization’s 40th Anniversary celebration. I was thoroughly please from start to finish with the quality and professional services that they provided. I was very happy to have selected Acute Inflections for the entertainment. They were elegantly dressed for the occasion and gave an outstanding memorable live performance. I will not hesitate to use Acute Inflections services again or refer them to friends and family.

    Sadiki and Elasea performed at my wedding during the ceremony, cocktail hour and first dance. They set the mood for the entire evening during our ceremony as I walked down the aisle to meet my husband. Everyone couldn't stop talking about our cocktail hour, where they serenaded everyone and added to the NYC rooftop atmosphere of the night. Elasea's soulful voice made our first dance even more enjoyable as everyone watched us move to the rhythms that echoed throughout the space. It was truly a magical moment and it was all possible because of this of amazing duo!!

    Elasea & Sadiki were simply amazing. Before the wedding they took the time to discuss details with us over the phone (outfits, music, timing, etc.) and on the wedding day showed up well in advance.

    Everything worked out beautifully, their performance added so much class to the atmosphere of our wedding and all of our guests have been asking me who they were ever since the wedding.

    I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    This is what you call the "Dynamic Duo". When it comes to music, they have the ultimate chemistry- which helped to set a beautiful vibe for my wedding ceremony. Elasea, has such a velvety richness to her voice that had everyone in attendance, holding back tears. I have to give great thanks to these two individuals; who helped to make our wedding day more than memorable, using the gifts they were both blessed with and an amazing amount of professionalism. Ya'll rock!

    Acute Inflections are a very talented and versatile jazz duo, and they're also an elegant pair who would be totally at home at a wedding far fancier than hours. I lost count of how many guests complimented us on hiring them because they loved the band's image and their style as well as the music they played.
