Their music created exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for - sweet, playful, and effortlessly elegant. We loved working with them beforehand to put together a setlist of our favourite jazz standards, and they even learned a song without sheet music online so we could listen to our special song on our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful duo." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (148 miles from Bonn) 13th June 2026 Hebo - Private wedding
