Beautiful Vocals for our ceremony

Andrea was an amazing choice for our wedding ceremony. She helped me choose beautiful, meaningful, and appropriate music for our religious ceremony. Through her vocals, Andrea created a very intimate and personal atmosphere within our traditional ceremony. I have recommended her to lots of family and friends!

Amazing band - true professionals!

Something Borrowed was the perfect addition to our wedding. My wife and I still remember Andrea's rendition of Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" - our first dance song, and it still moves us. The band made the wedding so much more special.

Nick and Jay are true professionals - their repertoire of songs is incredible.

Outstanding band!! Highly recommended!!

Something borrowed band performed at our wedding ceremony. They played a huge role in making our ceremony feel intimate and personal, while also upholding the traditional religious aspects of the ceremony. They were very easy to work with!! They orchestrated bringing and setting up all of the musical equipment and they co-ordinated the logistical aspects of the music with the church. I would highly recommend them!! They definitely made our ceremony extra special and personal!

Beautiful addition to our day!

Something Borrowed were wonderful to work with! They were so professional and accommodating to all our wishes, and even when there were little hiccups, like having to relocate our ceremony at the last minute, they were able to do so. They have a great selection of music and will you choose the most the beautiful music. Definitely recommend them if you are looking to add something special!
