She did an amazing job, couldn’t have asked for a better singer.
Nicole and Russel sang at my wedding ceremony. They were referred to me from a family member who had heard them sing at another event. They are incredibly talented with two of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Their voices complement each other perfectly. Their talents contributed tremendously to my ceremony, adding a different "level" of beauty and romance to my wedding. I could not have been more happy having them be a part of my big day.
