The Sun Followers

A one of a kind customized evening of music by Ben and Samantha! They coordinated everything with ease and grace, and helped make our day perfect!! They are THE choice for any wedding!!

The Sun Followers are truly amazing and a wonderful duo to work with. They went above and beyond to add the personal touches to our special day! Not only are they extremely talented, but they are experienced, organized, and communicated with us throughout the whole process. They exceeded all of our expectations and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music for any event. They are simply the best!

The Sun Followers did the music for our ceremony as well as our cocktail hour and I couldn't have asked for more. Incredibly easy to work with, eager and willing to learn new material, and overall just real delights to work with!! That's not even to mention how WONDERFUL they sound!! Their talent is outstanding and they are just so cute to watch. I highly recommend this duo for any event, and will definitely be looking into them for future events.

If you are looking for live music for your special day, do yourself a favor and hire Ben & Samantha! Don't even question it. Just do it. But really, when my husband and I were starting to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted live music. With Covid in the mix, we did not really know how that was going to play out for us. (In the end, it obviously worked out.) But, I had been searching online for hours, when I randomly came across a local news video of a "Singing Telegram Duo." Needless to say, I was intrigued. I preceded to find Ben & Samantha on every social media platform I could think of, and I listened,and watched many videos. I sent them to my husband and he agreed, let's do it. The communication process with them was more than spectacular (even if it wasn't on our end, sorry Ben)! Ben responds promptly and answers whatever questions that arise on your end, making you feel comfortable with the process. They also are great listeners and they vision what you vision, even if you aren't able to verbally explain it. We initially did a Zoom call with them to see if we "vibed" and when we hung up, my husband was like, yea, we're doing it. We loved their personalities and just the way they came across. We knew they would fit in great at our wedding with our guests. (And boy, did they.) ;) Day of wedding was great; they arrived, set up, got ready, everything without any problems! (If there was, I didn't hear about them. I think that is how it's supposed to go though, anyways.) They provided the music, the sound equipment, the fun, the dancing, the smiles and everything else that comes with a wedding. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire them and feel so fortunate that they said yes to our wedding. They just felt like old friends that we were lucky enough to join in on the fun. And afterward, we feel that we gained a new lifelong friendship. Honestly, like I said, don't question it, just hire Ben & Samantha! Love ya guys! Corinna & Tyler Salcedo

Hands down The Bidwells are some of the best humans on the planet! Sam and Ben helped us every step of the way, learned some new songs just for us, and made sure everything was perfect! They truly love to perform and are extremely good at it! Thank you Sam and Ben for being so professional, fun and for making our day so special!

From the moment I reached out to Ben from The Bidwells, I was beyond amazed at the genuine kindness and excitement for playing out small during our small wedding ceremony and through dinner. He was quick to respond, and always ready and willing to jump on anything to help make our big day special. He was easy to work with, and they were great about learning songs that were requested. They were fantastic about working with and communicating with our venues events manager so that on the day of the wedding I had no worries. Aside just the amazing customer service expired, their performance was just perfect. Every single one of my guests made a point to tell my husband and I how much they loved the musicians. I honestly believe, had we not had The Bidwells perform and gone with our original planned D.J. our wedding would not have been as special. The postive energy this duo bring to the table was truly wonderful. Ben was kind enough to act as an MC, and helped keep the night moving forward with no pressure or sense of urgency, (which for this mellow bride was very appreciative). While they are based out of Chico, they were happy to make the two hour drive to our venue, and still managed to more affordable then our originallly planned D.J. and they even surprised my husband and I with a wedding gift of band shirts, (which is so comfy, and rocks their awesome logo!) Honestly and truly The Bidwells went above and beyond, and blew all my expectations out of the water. They made our day perfect.

Ben and Samantha performed at our wedding in San Diego on 9/9/17. They provided our ceremony music and we couldn't have asked for a better musical experience! Our wedding was set at a Hawaiian themed venue on the bay and at the last minute Ben decided to use a ukulele instead of a guitar and it was magical! It fit the venue and vibe so perfectly, it really brought it all together and Samantha's vocals, as always were stunning. Our wedding planner, who is local to San Diego asked for their contact information as she was so impressed and wanted to put them on her preferred vender list. Since then, I have also had friend reach out asking what songs we used since for the ceremony so it clearly made a lasting impression on everyone there. If you want to make your big day even more personal and intimate, do not hesitate to book these two. You won't be disappointed!

Ben and Same were extremely professional and were easy to work with. They curated a live music event for our wedding I thought could only happen in movies. Their beautiful voices created a magical ambiance during our ceremony and left our guests mesmerized during cocktail hour. They truly were the best part of our wedding!
