Anya Hinkle & Tellico

Anya - thank you and Tellico for playing at our wedding! You all were incredible! The musicianship was amazing, everybody had a great time dancing, we couldn't have asked for a better performance. We've had so many compliments about you and the music. It was a great night we will never forget and we are so glad that you could be a part of it. Communication was super easy and quick through the whole process. You've been a joy to work with from start to finish. Thank you again for everything!

Anya & Tellico was the perfect band for our COVID mountain wedding! They played the ceremony, cocktail hour, and then kicked it up a notch for our reception. We got so many compliments on the band! I would highly recommend!

Anya & Tellico were AMAZING to work with for our COVID-safe wedding. The music was beyond great and they had no problem modifying things to create a more pandemic-friendly environment (we were worried about people wanting to boogie too hard). We had so many guests comment on how great the music was and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band - couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you Anya & Tellico!!! ❤️

What a treat it was to have Tellico during our cocktail hour. Tellico’s bluegrass/folk vibes complimented the mountain views at our venue just perfectly. They are absolutely unique and will add a special experience to any event. I absolutely loved them, and so did our guests! Anya was delightful and quick to respond to emails. You won’t regret the decision to hire Tellico.

Anya and her band honestly had a huge part in making our perfect wedding visions a reality. I found Tellico online and liked their music, and one conversation on the phone with Anya put me at ease immediately, and we hired her to perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Anya had worked at our venue near Asheville before and it was evident that the staff there REALLY enjoyed working with her, which is always a good sign. Our conversations leading up to the event were great, especially since we weren't always super clear about we wanted - she gave us lots of options and samples to hear. Most impressively, we asked Anya and her band to learn a traditional Jewish piece for our wedding, which she was game to tackle and carried out with great fidelity. We had a very impressive, very theatrical, very good wedding band play our reception, but I thought (and everybody else's comments confirmed to me) that Anya and Tellico were superb artists who set the mood perfectly for the ceremony and the evening. They understood what we needed and made it happen with a minimum of fuss. They played a number of pieces acoustically for our procession (Townes Van Zandt's "If I Needed You" being a notable highlight, which we had never heard before it was suggested by Anya) before moving and plugging in for the happy hour. In a process that is unavoidably hectic and stressful, working with Anya and Tellico just felt like something that was "taken care of" from the start - I never once felt worried they wouldn't deliver exactly what we were hoping for. If you want something folksy (but elevated), sincere and fun, and especially if you want to capture some of the spirit of the mountains, definitely call Anya and Tellico. We ended up including copies of their most recent album in thank-you gifts and have been really, really trying to see them play again in the area but it just hasn't worked out yet. We listen to their music when we want to relive our wedding, and we think you will, too!
