Highly Recommend!

They arrived early, were very professional, and did an amazing job! We couldn’t be happier with the music they played for our daughter’s wedding. They were very accommodating with song choices and were open to playing anything we wanted. We had so many compliments on their performance and they helped make the ceremony top notch! Would definitely hire them again!!!

Wonderful!

Sonata Noir played two beautiful selections from Mozart’s works for my mother’s memorial service. It made for a lovely and dignified service, and I highly recommend them!

Perfect fit for our wedding/ cocktail hour!

These girls were professional, punctual, and played exactly what we asked for! We requested elegant classical music for our ceremony, and upbeat pop and Latin songs for our cocktail hour, and we were not disappointed. Would definitely recommend!

Highly Professional!

Sydney and Phoebe are the best. They sounded amazing, they looked very classy and fashioned. They played all our requests and worked great in the team with our wedding planner, Shibaya for the wedding ceremony. They take the work so seriously!
Everything went perfectly and we couldn't be more happy with them. I wish I wouldn't hired our DJ before hand and had them play for the rest of the night.
They have very sofisticated audio system.
