Thank you for choosing us to be part of your amazing local winery wedding! Twin Rocks was a perfect place to tie the knot, and you both have great musical taste! “Joy of My Life” was a perfect song for us to play for your first dance, and we we...
re happy to learn that for you. Congrats again to you both and cheers to the newlyweds!
The Albertson Duo were the highlight of our wedding this past week. It was such a treat to have them, and all of our guests loved how talented and versatile their performance was. They arrived early, set-up professionally/with no help, and we...
re rocking and rolling well in advance of what we expected. Their music made the reception and ceremony so much more special. Live music is worth every penny, and The Albertson Duo was reasonable, professional, and an absolute joy to have.
Beyond the wedding, we enjoyed them so much that we are looking forward to seeing them later this year at a venue they are playing in town.
Strongly suggest. They're organized. And musically, first-rate!
Any questions?
The Albertson duo was absolutely amazing! One of the best decisions I made was having them a part of my wedding vendor team! All my guests were telling me how impressed they were with David and all the instruments he played and how amazingly be...
autiful Megan’s voice was. I am so happy I found them! They fit in perfect with our wedding, the communication through the whole process was very through and professional. They also learned our first dance song and even though Megan said she can’t sing like Taylor Swift, she sounded so beautiful it made me cry! I am
Telling you these two have amazing talents! Also another thing to add , the ques were on point, my new husband works in sound and is very big on how everything sounds and he said it sounded perfect! Only thing I wished is I got to enjoy them more at cocktail hour! When they weren’t playing they played rat pack music which just fit our theme perfect. And once the dance floor opened up, the DJing was perfect too! They really listened to what songs we liked to dance too and seriously hit it out of the park. If they are available for your wedding date, HIRE THEM!! Thanks Albertson Duo!!! <3 The Renders
the albertsons were great to work with! we had detailed calls ahead of the wedding where the groom and i were able to make lots of specific requests. they learned my song for walking down the aisle even though it wasnt on their normal list. the...
y were on time, organized, and the guests loved them!
Could not recommend this band more! Prior to our event, we saw them perform several times and fell in love with their sound and style. After bringing them onboard they took such care in making sure we were taken care of! The band contacted us b...
eforehand and let us choose exactly what we wanted to hear to make sure the music fit the vibe of the event. Additionally, the band helped us out to coordinate the speeches and toast at the wedding which really helped to keep things organized. The Albertson Duo is super friendly and down to earth as people. I feel as though we really made friends with them and would gladly have them back at another event either as a band, or as a guest!!
Love,
Chris, Jordan, & Family
Off the bat, I want to say that The Albertson Duo were fantasic DJs for our wedding. David and Megan were so helpful to us in so many ways. Our original DJ dropped out a month before our wedding, and TAD were recommended to us by a friend so I ...
emailed them. David's response was immediate, and he was extremely professional every step of the way. He made sure that each detail for how we wanted our wedding to be run was brought to attention, and every need we had they were able to provide (from the extra PA system to the lighting). One thing I will mention is that we just got their DJ package, but they also do full band performance too, and they're very good! We just wanted a DJ, but if you can go for the band I say do it! Talented folks :) They have great equipment and sound, plus a well-rounded musical taste perfect for getting the party started. David even busted out his violin to solo over some of the tracks. We had so much fun and it wouldn't have been so great without The Albertson Duo! They were a huge contribution toward making our day absolutely perfect, and I will recommend them to any of my friends getting married in the future.
Megan and David performed for our wedding and reception last weekend. I keep hearing from friends and family what a wonderful part they played in the event. Guests have been gushing about their impressive musicality, their ability to read the c...
rowd and respond accordingly, and the lovely way they interacted with guests and each other.
My groom and I appreciated that they took care of everything. David was so helpful with suggestions leading up to the event. They efficiently set up at two locations before the wedding so there was no downtime. We hadn't even considered mic-ing up for the ceremony, but they had it covered. Transitions between music, toasts, cake cutting, and dances were so smooth. We especially enjoyed the special songs they played during cocktails, and they were so responsive during dancing. And our songs! The special songs we chose were so beautiful. David is a phenomenal musician, and Megan's voice is so lovely. Can we do it again?
I can't say enough good things about Megan and David! They made our small church wedding absolutely perfect. From playing softly in the church for our ceremony, to singing hits at cocktail hour, to DJ'ing our reception, they really made our d...
ay special! We got so many compliments from our guests about what a classy addition the Albertson Duo was to our wedding.
David was very communicative during our planning process and gave us some great suggestions as to what music to play at certain points during the event, and it all worked so beautifully. We had some quirky requests that I asked of them, and they delivered on point, right on time. They even learned our first dance song, and at the request of the groom's mother, sang a special version of Simple Man just for her.
Our day was incredible from start to finish and we can't thank the Albertson Duo enough!! Just hire them, you will NOT regret it!!
Absolutely incredible! They are both so extremely talented! My friends all fell in love with their music! I was waiting for an opportunity to hire them and I can’t wait to hire them again for future events! This was hands down a night I will ne...
ver forget! David is an amazing musician and Megan’s voice is beautiful!

Megan and David (the Albertson Duo) were an awesome addition to our wedding. From the day of and through the entire process of hiring&planning, they were responsive, professional AND creative (hard to beat that!). They timed songs according to ...
our event timeline,
learned a few new favorite songs for our special dances and kept our guests in awe the entire wedding. I highly recommend the Albertson Duo who will make your day or event feel like it’s straight out of a dream… especially with Megan’s voice and David’s music background. Their energy and thoroughness is unmatched by anyone I have seen at intimate or even large events. We will continue to follow their shows and recommend them to anyone!

The Albertson Duo is great. They sound great, they are a dream to work with, they're adaptable and affordable, and all our guests are still raving about them.

ter entertainers. Our reception was rained out during the cocktail hour and they quickly relocated to a dry location with all of our guests and continued playing without missing a beat!
Do yourself a favor and book them, your event will be incomplete without them!
Response from the Vendor on 02/21/2021
Thank you for choosing us for your special day! We had a great time performing for you all and seeing you two tie the knot. Congrats and have a great honeymoon!
The Albertson Duo is amazing! I met them for the first time at the Bridal Show at Cal Expo in Sacramento and Megan's live vocals were unbelievable. My husband and I were then able to witness just how talented the Duo was at one of their live sh...
ows in town, see their website for details! We knew then that we had to book them for our wedding!
They offer not only live covers of a variety of music with Megan on vocals and David on instruments, they also provide DJ and Emcee services! A huge selling point for us, in addition to their talent. We were also able to add on an affordable lighting package to help illuminate our outdoor venue.
My husband and I, including all of our family and friends, absolutely loved the Albertson Duo on the big day! Their live performance during cocktail hour and dinner was epic and we loved all of the music DJ'd during our reception for dancing! Many of our guests complimented us throughout the night on how great the Duo was and even asked for their contact info.
David and Megan are timely in their responses, friendly, extremely talented and very professional. Booking them is a no brainer!

Thank you so much for choosing us for both live music and DJ services! We loved incorporating violin, mandolin, ukulele and more into your reception and you all know how to DANCE! We wish you two the best and congratulations on tying the knot!
Two words for The Duo - The Best! We heard Megan and Dave playing at a local Granite Bay venue last October and immediately contacted them to secure The Duo for our backyard wedding celebration. From Megan’s sultry voice to Dave’s many instru...
mental talents, from requested songs they learned and practiced specially for us to putting on different hats for the DJ part of the reception - was amazing - it was icing on the cake for our special day (cliche intended!). Thank you so much Megan and Dave for your talent, professionalism and kindness! Cheers. Dennis and Paula Padla.

Thank you Dennis and Paula for choosing us to be part of your big day, and your wedding was so beautiful! We appreciate your kind words and wish you both well on your journey together. We'll be happy to perform Harvest Moon for you anytime!
When we started planning our wedding, the Albertson Duo were the first vendor we locked in. Once we heard their acoustic rendition of Everlong by Foo Fighters, we knew their style and vibe was perfect for our wedding.
Megan and David were sup...
er easy to work with, they learned 3 new songs for our big day (and absolutely nailed them) and were willing to set up two stages (one for the ceremony and one for the reception.) All of our guests were floored at the quality of their music. Thankfully I had David record their set so we can go back and relisten to everything we missed in the chaos of our wedding day.
We had the Duo perform for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, then later on in the night they doubled as DJs and kept the party going. These two are so talented and nice and warm. My wife and I might have to renew our vows just so we can hire them again.
We cannot recommend the Albertson Duo enough!
