Does music make any difference in any event? This one 100% does! Lori & Scott performed at our wedding on 11.11.2023 and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. One work..."O...
utstanding!" They started as an acoustic duo and transformed into an amazing band with the addition of a bass guitarist and drummer for the dance portion of our affair. We were all out of our seats! Thank you for a spectacular performance that we're still talking about!!!!
We love Lori and Scott!! They are hands down amazing! Besides being incredibly talented they are by far the nicest and most accommodating people! It poured rain on my outdoor weddi...
ng and we had to scramble to get tents at the last minute. Lori and Scott without hesitation (as the rain and wind was picking up), set up smoothly and performed beautifully. They are professional and very passionate about their work! They even learned a few songs for us and created an arrangement for our first dance that was specific to what we wanted. Highly recommended them for any occasion!!
If I could give Sweet Tea 100 stars, I would.✨
My, now, husband and I held our wedding last week and I am still caught up in such a whirlwind from such a love felt, joyous weekend...
. Partly in thanks to Lori and Scott who are true GEMS. Anyone who has them perform at their event, are incredibly lucky. They will not disappoint!
We received SO MANY compliments on our ceremony and cocktail hour musicians & choices of music which of course, is accredited to Sweet Tea.
I am already thinking of future events to have them at. Lori is beyond sincere, kind, and her love for music shined from our first phone conversation.
Lori and Scott, you made our day that much more special. Thank you, eternally.😊

Sweet Tea played at my outdoor engagement party this summer and I LOVED everything about working with Lori and Scott! Not only are they extremely talented and professional, but the...
y are also personable and passionate about what they do! Lori took the time to have multiple phone calls with me prior to the party to talk about details and my preferences. They were also interactive with my guests and were able to adjust their sound, volume, and songs to fit the "vibe" of the crowd as the night went on. Following the party all of my guests talked about how great they were. I can't wait to book them again in the future!
We just had our wedding on July 15, 2023. When we first found Sweet Tea Acoustic Duo we were really impressed. Lori and Scott were so authentic and really wanted to make our weddin...
g special. They were so kind and professional. They were always flexible to talk over the phone, email, and text. They also didn't mind the number of changes we made. The day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to them. They did a beautiful job at our ceremony on Scudder Beach and at Ruvo where our reception was held. Our family and friends said they were amazing and so talented. Everyone wanted to know how we found them. My dad and my husband even gave a standing ovation to them and a toast. Lori and Scott also allowed my sister's boyfriend to do duets with them and a solo. I would recommend them for all weddings and events because they are so genuine, kind, professional and are willing to be so flexible. In addition, for Long Island, they have reasonable and flexible pricing that would be affordable for any kind of wedding. Thank you so much Lori and Scott. Cheers to both of you.

Sweet Tea Duo was incredible. They played at my daughter’s bridal shower and were amazing. The music was just the right tempo and they are extremely talented. I highly recommend an...
yone to use them for their event. Many of my friends and family at my event could not stop raving about them!
Lori was absolutely incredible to work with!! She helped us choose songs that would fit our style, helped us plan how our ceremony would go (we did a very non-traditional ceremony ...
that we M-C'd ourselves), was super responsive over the phone and great to talk to! Lori and Scott also helped us plan out our program, including making suggestions about timing of different components. It was incredibly helpful and really made our wedding run smoothly!! On top of all this, Lori, Scott, and her band learned several songs for our wedding that really made our evening spectacular - including getting creative with a jazz number we requested for our first dance! At one point we mentioned my mom's favorite song -- and the band learned it so that my mom could have a wonderful surprise dance fest! It was incredible, and my mom was thrilled. The music was fantastic!! I highly recommend Sweet Tea!
I was so fortunate to stumble upon Lori's page on Instagram and just knew she was the perfect choice for our celebration from moment I heard her beautiful voice. She was incredibly...
professional and a pleasure to communicate with. I’m so grateful that she accommodated my husband and I even with last-minute requests. The sweet tea duo performed an impressive variety of music that pleased all of our guests. I had many compliments about her voice from my family and friends! Do yourself a favor and book her for your wedding, I cannot recommend her enough!!! :)))
The best ever decision we made during our wedding rehearsal dinner was to hire the Sweet Tea Acoustic Duo. I saw them performed in one of the wedding showcases in Long Island over ...
2 years ago. The moment I heard them sang my fav song Shallow, I knew right away that I want them to be in our Big Day. The booking was so easy and they responded to you right away whatever your concerns are. Very easy going and very approachable. We had them last Saturday 9/3/2022. They made our event cozy due to their amazing voice and classy looks. If you are seriously looking for a duo who can make your event spectacular and Zero headache, but BUDGET friendly. Please don’t go any further, book them right away if they are available on your special event. Love them to death and now we are just like family!
Sweet Tea Acoustic Duo was FABULOUS for our small vineyard ceremony/cocktail hour. Lori and Scott were incredibly easy to work with and they came with an extensive list of great so...
ngs they could play. They also learned an additional song for us (Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac) and we so appreciated them on our wedding day!
A friend referred me to Lori & Scott as she had a great experience with them. From my first contact through the wedding day and beyond they were great to work with.
I honestly had...
no idea where to start when it came to choosing music from walking down the aisle to the reception. Lori had great suggestions and guided me through the whole process. Working with the duo was probably the least stressful part of the wedding planning. When talking to Lori and Scott, it honestly felt like you were talking to a life long friend - they truly make you feel so comfortable. Having a live, acoustic band at the wedding was huge! They pumped up the crowd and got our guests on the dance floor - everyone had so much fun. They kept the party going and even dimmed the lights on the floor for us as they noticed the venue did not. I couldn’t tell you how many people complimented us on having a them at our wedding. Our guests told us they had great interactions with Scott & Lori too.
We talked about what my fiancé and I wanted the feel of the wedding to be and Lori mentioned a ‘first look’ idea. I honestly never considered this but after talking to her we decided to go this route with our photographer. I’m so happy she gave me the suggestion because we loved doing this.
I would hire Sweet Tea Acoustic Duo again in a heartbeat and I would hands down recommend them. They really made our wedding a little extra special.
Yasss Sweet Tea!! I got married in Lake George earlier this month and had the pleasure of being serenaded by Lori and Scott of Sweet Tea for two days! Not only did they make our la...
id back/campy chill rehearsal BBQ amazing but they transformed themselves into this elegant wedding duo the next day at our wedding . They totally fit the vibe for both the rehearsal BBQ and the wedding! They can sing anything and I mean anything! From huge power ballads, fun dance songs to chill feel good tunes. I am so happy to write this review because the world must know about them!! Aside from their talent, they are just fun humans! If you’re looking for professional talent, fun and laid back people who are soooo easy to work with (and believe me this is a giant BONUS)- hire these two! Thank you Lori and Scott , we had the best time 💛
The Sweet Tea Duo was the absolute perfect addition to our wedding. I first saw them perform at a restaurant over a year before our wedding and I just KNEW I had to have them there...

They are such talented and kind hearted people, they make any event incredible.

it into the vibe of our wedding perfectly. By the time our wedding ended, we felt like they were old friends! Lori really took the time to ask us questions before the wedding to get a feel for who we are as a couple and what we - and our guests- would enjoy music-wise. We highly recommend them for whatever event you are having!!!!! Love them!!!!

the planning and the day of our event. We didn’t have to think or worry about a thing. We were blown away by what an amazing job they did with our wedding song. They made it a moment we will always cherish. The songs they chose created the perfect atmosphere for us and all our loved ones. They helped move everything along seamlessly and made our day so special. The music was so great. They are so talented and we received many compliments from our guests about them.

I came across Sweet Tea on Instagram & was immediately amazed by how great they sounded in their videos.
And boy did that translate in real life, they are AMAZING. So talented and...
just so fun. It literally felt like they were part of the family & they kept the party going all night. They take so much pride in their set up too to make sure the speakers & the sound really work for the space.
We also had added Billy on the percussions for the reception and that was such a big hit to really turn up the party.
They read the crowd so well & got our vibe instantly, I felt like I handpicked the set list because it was one favorite song followed by another and another! They performed a bunch of custom requested songs for us and knocked it out of the park. It made our day extra special.
Hands down best decision to have them at our wedding & I would highly recommend doing the same!!
Sweet Trio was perfection ...
Laurie is a doll & made planning my surprise wedding for my family a complete joy ...
Beautiful voice matching with beautiful music 🎶
Xoxoxo

ticularly their choice of songs and Lori’s voice. They were also very easy to work with. Lori was super communicative, calling me at the time of booking and before the wedding to chat. They were both friendly and lovely people. I would highly recommend them.
Such a wonderful duo. Scott and Lori are incredibly talented and gave a beautiful performance. Very easy to work with and just top notch musicians! Will hire them again for futur...
e events!!!!!! Thank you both for sharing your beautiful voices and guitar with us!
All I can say is "WOW", Lori was so easy going and pleasant to work with throughout the whole process. I was very adamant about song selections for my cocktail hour and ceremony. ...
Lori assured me that I would not be disappointed and boy was she right. I requested to walk down the aisle to "Perfect" and that was exactly what it was. There wasn't a dry eye in the room! Of all vendors that we hired for our wedding day, Sweet Tea Acoustic Duo had the most positive comments by my guest. We are so glad we decided to hire Lori & Scott. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our special day "perfect".
