I can not say enough good things about this super talented pair! They played for our 10/23/22 wedding. It was a restaurant and a pretty intimate setting. It was one of the most un...
ique parts of our wedding. I loved the sounds of their voices and guitar. I had so many people compliment us on our choice of singers and asked me “where did you find them?” Simply incredible!! Both Garrett and Tamara had such a warm welcoming personality and I just wanted them to continue playing the whole night! I can not recommend them enough for a wedding reception, cocktail hour, party, birthday…. This duo is just wonderful! Such a gift we were able to give all our guests! Thank you
Worth every penny and more!!
I cannot express how perfect these two were for my anniversary party! Friends and family are still raving and it’s been almost a year since the party. ...
They were so sweet and kind and their talent will blow you away. They give off such a calm and chill vibe and watching them interact is beautiful. I wish I had more events so I could listen to them all the time! They were professional, kind and just awesome. They would be a perfect addition to any event big or small!
10/10 Amazing
From start to finish Garrett and Tamara were an absolute pleasure to work with for our Montauk wedding. My husband and I love music and were looking for talented musi...
cians who could play and sing acoustic versions of our favorite songs. G&T helped us craft the perfect processional, recessional and cocktail hour playlists. They already have an extensive repertoire and even went above and beyond by learning several new songs for us, which was greatly appreciated. We got married outdoors on the cliffs overlooking the Montauk lighthouse and their organic vibe and beautiful sound really made our wedding truly exceptional. Thank you Garrett & Tamara for being part of our day and for being so fun to work with!

Can't imagine a musical duo better than Garrett & Tamara
We feel so lucky that we found such wonderful people to share the best day of our lives with. Garrett and Tamara are except...
ionally talented and they exude warmth and charm to boot. They captured the vibe and sound we wanted for our wedding perfectly. Our wedding guests were enamored and have asked us several times since the wedding all about them and how we were so lucky to find them!
They sing beautifully and went above and beyond learning specific songs we wanted for our wedding. When they sang during our ceremony, they brought all of our guests to tears! I can't imagine anyone better.
And professionally, they are A+++. From the moment we contacted them until the day of the wedding, it was always super easy to communicate with them. Anyone planning a wedding knows how much that is appreciated when you sometimes need answers quickly or you are feeling anxious.
We cannot recommend these two enough. We may need to get married again so we can have them at our wedding all over again!
