We were so happy to have Sam Ryan perform at our wedding. His playlist was spot-on, creating the perfect vibe for both us and our guests. He’s professional, talented, and made the whole evening unforgettable!

HRNZ had the pleasure of having Carl Webley perform at our 40th Anniversary celebrations, and he was absolutely fantastic! We loved the song choices and the great vibe his music brought to the whole evening. His gentle guitar playing during the waiata was such a lovely, thoughtful touch.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl to anyone looking for live music for their event. Thanks again for making our night so special!

We booked our wedding string quartet through Better Band and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The booking process was incredibly easy, communication was clear and prompt, and every detail was handled with professionalism.
On the day, the Dunedin Quartet were absolutely fantastic. Their music created the perfect atmosphere, and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful the performance was. We couldn’t have asked for anything more—highly recommend both Better Band and the Dunedin quartet for anyone planning a special event.

We booked Owheo String Duo for our wedding ceremony and canapé hour through Better Band and they were amazing! Jan and Sammie were always quick to respond to enquiries and the whole process was seamless. Would definitely recommend!

We used Sam and James for our wedding and I literally cannot express how wonderful they were. They were so kind and personable but they were also SO TALENTED. They took requests from our party and by the end of the night felt like friends we had invited to our wedding. Their range was unmatched and covered so many genres. We cannot imagine what our day would have been like without them. So so so incredible.
