We hired The Honey Badgers to play our wedding in September and can say that it was hands-down our best investment. They were just all around chill and lovely. Super easy to communicate with, took great care in our arrangements, and couldn’t have been more kind and accommodating when some unexpected weather forced us to change to a plan B set-up right before they arrived. Most importantly, their sound was exactly what we were looking for. Our guests loved them so much and we got lots of requests for their information afterwards. My husband and I loved how genuine and sweet they were even just chatting during clean-up after the party was over. We felt they were super reasonably priced for all that they brought to the table. We both whole heartedly recommend The Honey Badgers for their talent and the care they put in the service they offer.
Wow we got an incredible and touching performance from the Honey Badgers on our wedding day. They went above and beyond to learn a special request song for me to walk down the aisle to. They also performed during our cocktail hour and were phenomenal, all of our guests LOVED them. I wish I could’ve applauded them a dozen more times. We will be booking them again for future events. Highly highly recommend this talented duo!!!
The Honey Badgers were absolutely amazing and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. Most didn't realize it was a live band at first because they were so great! I had asked for a very specific music cue for our first kiss that I wasn't sure was possible and they absolutely delivered. Everyone said they thought they were in a movie. They also noticed that I didn't hear one of the songs I specifically requested and offered to play it again so I could hear it which was so sweet! They were a last minute addition to our event and I am soooo grateful it they were there. It definitely wouldn't have been the same without them. Thank you!!!
We had the Honey Badgers set up the mic for our wedding ceremony, play for our wedding ceremony, and play at the cocktail hour after that. Everything went perfect from the planning to the execution itself! I highly recommend them and would book them again in a heartbeat! Thank you for making our day easy and wonderful!
These two are amazing. I got SO many compliments on our cocktail hour and ceremony music. We had a very small wedding but the honey badgers made it so special with an extra touch of live music. The ceremony music added the extra touch that we needed to make it special. They also wore our wedding color scheme which was so sweet!! They are sooo accommodation and easy to work with. I couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re in question, here is your sign to book them!! Also! Their voices and talents are even better in person!!
The Honey Badgers were a highlight of our Wedding. We had an intimate wedding at a restaurant in Brooklyn, with around 100 people. We didn't want solely instrumental but didn't want to purchase a whole band. A music duo was the ideal choice, but we were looking for something more personal and sweet for our guests. When I found The Honey Badgers, they were exactly what I was looking for. They had several videos online of cover songs, and we loved the way they tackled pop or rock songs from a soft folk angle. They seemed musically fearless and up for a challenge.
The Honey Badgers were easy to work with, and extremely responsive leading up to the event. We had a few check ins to get a feel for the wedding vibes, and they took time to check our Spotify to understand our music taste. We choose songs off their robust list of instrumental and lyrical songs, including a grateful dead song for my father, and a Taylor Swift song (not a T-Swift fan, but their rendition of Lover was so perfect and sweet).
The cherry on top of the whole process was their excitement to learn new songs. We wanted to hear some of our favorite songs throughout the night, and they took the time to practice and learn some instrumental versions. We even played around with our first dance song to make the verses instrumental, while the bridge was vocal, and overall made the song more elevated for a first dance.
Their sound was crisp, and cut through all the background noise, instead of adding to the bustle of cocktail hour and dinner. Before the wedding they sent a comprehensive set list that mapped out what they would play at the cocktail hour (more instrumental) and intro the dinner set (more lyrical).
We received so many complements on our sweet musical duo. Would highly recommend working with The Honey Badgers for your wedding.
We love the Honey Badgers and highly recommend them to everyone! We were looking for a folk-duo to perform during our Friday night welcome dinner and found Erin & Michael online. They were great all around - fun and talented performers, super friendly and easy to work with, and not crazy expensive. They even learned a couple of our favorite songs and surprised us on the day-of. A definite highlight of our weekend. Thank you!
Erin and Michael were absolutely amazing! We hired them for our ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding, our guests loved them. They were so easy to work with, profession, kind and accommodating. They offer a wide variety of music and songs for everyones enjoyment. Everything went so smoothly . I would recommend them to anyone looking for live music for their wedding.
I am obsessed with Erin and Michael! They are extremely talented and two incredible/sweet people! They sang all the songs we wanted to and sang their own songs! Please listen to them on spotify!! Their music is so good!! They made our ceremony and cocktail extremely special! All our guests kept talking how talented they were! Hire them for your wedding i promise you, you will love them!!
Michael and Erin were FABULOUS to work with. Very responsive and so incredibly friendly. I wish I could have arrived to my own wedding ceremony sooner to have heard more of their live music. They are so talented and create such beautiful music together. The perfect touch to help make our wedding day so lovely. My husband and I highly recommend them for any event!!!
To whoever is scouring the reviews… it would be a huge mistake not to book Erin & Michael, trust us!
They had an introductory call with us, had provided an amazing form along with a selection of incredible songs, and then continued with follow ups until our wedding day.
The communication was excellent, Erin & Michael were extra flexible, and they helped guide our guests from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Everyone at our wedding kept complimenting them on their performances, they were amazing!
We are so happy to have found you both! Thank you so much for an extraordinary night.
We are so happy that we decided to have The Honey Badgers perform at our wedding and they did a fantastic job! All our guests loved the music!! They matched the mood of our celebration and created the perfect atmosphere for us. Erin and Michael are meticulous with details and look out for their customers. True professionals!
The Honey Badgers were truly amazing. Michael & Erin are both so talented. They played our ceremony music and our cocktail music. So many compliments from our guests - best part of the wedding!
Thank you both!!!!
We cannot recommend The Honey Badgers enough!! The loveliest couple, with the loveliest sound. They truly created the wedding atmosphere we had dreamed of. We first heard them play at the wedding of Nick & Tori the year before, and knew we wanted to experience them again at our own event. We were lucky enough to have them play at our reception and during our cocktail hour. We received endless amounts of compliments for them from our guests and even the staff! Truly wonderful people to work with and you will not be disappointed.
My husband and I loved working with The Honey Badgers! Their sound was absolutely beautiful, they had an amazing list of songs to choose from, and they were very responsive to our requests to learn two new songs. We received so many compliments from our guests on how wonderful they sounded. Our only regret was not hiring them to play the entire wedding. Anyone would be fortunate to have The Honey Badgers perform at their wedding!!
We could not have picked another band for our wedding! They were flexible and so much fun. The other vendors loved working with them as well. Great music choice for both upbeat music and dinner time
Erin & Michael are the sweetest most talented duo we have ever met! When it came to our wedding we wanted to make sure the atmosphere was just right. The Honey Badgers were genuinely interested in our special day and cared about contributing to our vision. Their music and energy as people really helped make our day perfect. They are easy to work with, reliable and total professionals. I highly recommend for anyone to consider The Honey Badgers for their event.
We could not have asked for a more perfect addition to our small COVID wedding! The Honey Badgers provided music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were so flexible with scheduling, had a long list of song choices, and were able to take special requests for songs that we wanted to add. Our guests could not stop talking about the music! The violin, guitar, and singing provided the perfect ambiance. Every song was played beautifully and made for a unique experience that felt intimate and personal. We are already trying to think of the next event that they can play for us! We cannot recommend them more highly!!!
