Carrie & Thomas Jennings

“Thomas and Carrie are an incredible team. They performed at our wedding and blew us away. They were clean, kind, self sufficient, independent, and made us feel so incredibly special for our day. I highly recommend these two for any event due to their diverse music, soul warming sound, and adaptability.”

As musicians ourselves, when we started the wedding-planning process, we knew that we wanted to hire musicians to play our ceremony and reception. We were so lucky to have found Carrie and Thomas Jennings through a musical connection. They are professional musicians with experience in solo performance, their nationally-recognized band Mama Magnolia, and teaching. We knew instantly that we were in capable and passionate hands! From the very start, they were organized and communicative with us about our hopes for our wedding music. We loved that they found a time to meet in person to share our vision for our ceremony and the unique details of our venue. Carrie and Thomas have a large repertoire of jazz standards, blues, and Americana tunes. They helped us thoughtfully select songs for our ceremony and together we made a list of songs we wanted to hear throughout our reception, in addition to their own selections. They understood the atmosphere that we were trying to create in our little garden-party wedding and each song brought that ambiance to life for our guests. Carrie and Thomas are professionals through and through. They arrived at our venue early to ensure that they had ample time to set up, chat with our day-of-coordinator, and get organized for preludes. They clearly understand the pacing of weddings; they effortlessly navigated the timing of our processionals and ceremony, and balanced the dynamics of their vocals and instrumentals. Carrie’s voice has a warm and full timbre and Thomas’s guitar skills are unparalleled. Months later, our guests still compliment how magical the music was at our wedding. We still daydream about the way their music deepened the warmth and love of our wedding day.

This band is self sufficient, professional, incredibly adaptive, and truly talented. The depth of music will be touching, and polished. Their skill should be up with there with the greats so you'd be getting a truly boutique experience that will impress beyond expectation.
