Kept time and were very friendly! Recommend 100%!
Illume Duo were very professional and quick to adjust after some unexpected schedule changes. Our wedding guests loved the elegant atmosphere they created with the music and I would highly recommend their services!
We hired Illume Duo for my parents' 50th wedding Anniversary party, and couldn't be happier! The music added an excellent ambiance to the hall, wasn't too loud or soft, and was performed excellently. Working with Anne was a breeze! Extremely responsive, informative, and helpful with all our questions and special requests! We are so grateful Illume Duo helped make this special celebration that much more magical!
Response from Illume Duo:
Wonderful client! Thank you!
They just played for our outdoor wedding ceremony 10.15.22 and I could not be more happier. All the guests LOVED the music while waiting for the ceremony to begin. They have a variety of songs you can pick from (including pop covers!). Communication was a breeze, would recommend Illume duo to anyone!!
Thank you so much for being a part of our special day.
Illume Duo played at my aunt's memorial service. They sounded beautiful, very professional and easy to work with.
Response from Illume Duo:
Thank you Gabrielle,
We enjoyed working with you and Lucy! Beautiful setting in French Park, Plymouth. Warm and kind people!
Thank you both so much for the wonderful music during our wedding ceremony and reception. Everyone was raving about the music. It made it very memorable for all 💕
Response from Illume Duo:
Thank you, Wendy! Gorgeous wedding in a serene setting!
Illume Duo were consummate professionals, playing so beautifully for our small park wedding ceremony. They were so flexible, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Their performance was even better than their recordings, and they played all the songs we had asked in an excellent arrangement. Several guests told me how impressed they were, and at least one was moved to tears over “The Prayer”. I wholeheartedly recommend Illume Duo, thank you so much again.
Response from Illume Duo:
