It was really important to me to have live music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. When I came across The Better Halves, I thought a guitarist duo would be just the thing...
to give me wedding a romantic, memorable vibe. Chrissie worked with my budget to ensure I could afford them. They are EXTREMELY affordable, and their main goal is to work with you so that you can afford to have them at your wedding. They also play a great variety of different songs, from the classics to more pop/alternative songs, such as "Home" by Edward Sharpe, which is such a sweet/upbeat song! Not only that, but Chrissie and her husband learned and modified multiple songs for me! I really loved "Carl Goes Up" from the Pixar movie Up, and they created the most beautiful guitar-duo version of it for my wedding. It truly made my wedding unique and personal. The funny thing is I never actually met either of them! Because of my busy schedule, we communicated only through email, and my coordinator was the one communicating with all the vendors the day of the wedding. Even though I never formally met them, I am so grateful to have had them for my wedding!
My husband and I really wanted (affordable) live music for our ceremony. We were both thrilled to find Chrissie and Jimmy. Our guests absolutely loved the intimate atmosphere that ...
the music of acoustic guitar created. The music was so light and beautiful, perfect for a summer day and outdoor ceremony in Austin. They worked with us and our tight budget, and were so easy to work with, friendly and accommodating. Our day would not have been as beautiful without them! Thank you Chrissie and Jimmy!
Chrissie and Jimmy Joe were amazing... Very responsive. We asked for instrumental acoustic renditions of our favorites and they delivered! They even worked up a few new songs not ...
in their repertoire just for us! For ex:Billy Idol's "white wedding." Great repertoire too. We got so many compliments on our ceremony and cocktail hour music! Would definitely recommend!
I was looking for something different than the standard wedding music for my ceremony and cocktail hour and Chrissie and Jimmy Joe Natoli fit the bill.

exas to Hey Good Look'in to some of their own unique twists on vocals Better Halves Musicians -Chrissie and Jimmy Joe - are just what every bride needs a bit of at her wedding!
Looking for something different for my Country Chic wedding at Thurman's Mansion/Salt Lick and found these two.
These two play classics, will write you your own song, or anything you want. They play several instruments for whatever your style is. I asked for banjo and guitar-lively festive music, but not deliverance type banjo and they nailed it!
I mostly communicated with Chrissie who is delightful, detailed oriented, and professional. They worked within my time and budget constraints. They played our ceremony music as well as through our cocktail hour where they sang.
The guests were very delighted as was I. Her communication and performances were spot on. Brides, party throwers, and unique music seekers do not pass up these two fantastic artists!
The Better Halves are wonderful! We booked them to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were amazing! I first found out about them online and fell in love with thei...
r folksy music style. I met them at a farmer’s market and they were incredibly kind and gracious. They’re a very sweet husband and wife duo. For our wedding, they learned two brand new songs (“Modern Nature” by Sondre Lerche and “Picture in a Frame” by Tom Waits) as part of our booking, and they did an amazing job! They also played a beautiful version of “Angel Dream” by Tom Petty, as well as a range of folk and country songs, all instrumental. They arrived early to set-up, and they were very well dressed and professional during the ceremony. I loved how relaxed and serene they helped to make the wedding, and I don’t think it could have been any lovelier. They price was more than reasonable, and I would book them again if I had to do it over again. I absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a sweet, rustic or country wedding band! Thank you!
