mantic and fun sound. Well, when it came time to plan for our own wedding I reached out to Boy and Bean and they were so accommodating and easy to work with! I sent them a list of my favorite songs that I've heard them play in the past and even included a special request of an instrumental-only version of "La Vie en Rose" for my aisle walk.
