Thank you Al and Natalie, from both of us. Our wedding was a very special day, and you were a central part of it. You listened to the kind of music and feel that we wanted on the day, and you delivered it exactly right. You're both amazingly talented musicians and we feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled on you in The Cricketers just a few months before our wedding. Many of the guests went out of their way to say how fantastic you were - and all we can do is agree. You're both terrific!Phillip & Manni Harries

We cannot thank you enough for playing at our wedding. You were amazing! Our guests loved your songs that you played during the reception drinks and early evening and our first dance song was perfect!!! Everyone at the wedding had such high compliments for you both and we keep watching our first dance song back on our wedding video and saying how amazing you guys did with the song. We would/have already recommended you to anyone who wants beautifully played acoustic music :) Thanks again!Emma & Jack Wyatt

Al and Natalie, such a massive thank you from the both of us for your fantastic performance at our wedding reception at Russets Country House, Surrey. We had previously been to see you perform on numerous occasions at locations around Surrey so we already knew we loved watching and listening to you but nothing compared to how amazing you were on our wedding day! You really made our wedding day even more special as it was great to have live music to listen to whilst our evening guests arrived, you learnt and played the song we requested for our first dance to perfection(!) and then you really got the party started during your 2nd set and got everybody up on the dance floor which is exactly what we wanted! In fact, I don't think we even left the dance floor during your 2nd set and so many of our guests came up to us during the night and commented on how brilliant you were. Al, you are a very talented guitarist and Natalie, we could listen to you sing forever - such a beautiful voice. We booked a DJ to play after your performance but we would have been happy with you playing all night, no-one wanted you to leave. Thank you once again and we're already trying to think of the next occasion when we can hire you!Fiona & Paul Williams

We booked Al and Natalie for our wedding on 9th July and I wanted to share with you the fantastic experience that we had with this duo. Attentive to what we wanted. Communicated with us every step of the way. Learnt special songs for us. Natalie has an excellent voice and Al's guitar skills were exceptional. They played all the songs in their own distinctive manner which made our guests feel relaxed whilst enjoying their wedding breakfast but then upped the beat as the evening went on which got the party started. They were excellent and I hope that I can have another event soon because I would want to book them immediately. I cannot praise Al and Natalie enough and they were also both absolutely lovely people. I wish you both every success with your music and hope that anyone who is looking to book musicians for their event will be lucky enough to find you as we were. Thank you so much!Penny & Owen Cook

Thank you Al and Natalie you were fantastic on Saturday night - we had such a great evening and your performance was just amazing! Andy had a wide selection of friends and family at his 50th birthday party, spanning a huge age range, yet you appealed to everyone. From the quieter acoustic set as everyone was arriving, to the packed dance floor later in the evening you judged the mood in the room perfectly. We've had so many people say how much they enjoyed your music, but I think it's summed up in a comment from a thank you letter we received '....and as for the music - WOW !Lisa & Andy Southan

I cannot praise Natalie and Al enough. They performed at our daughter's wedding ceremony at Loseley Park Manor and played more songs than planned during the time photos were taken during the service. They then played three sets during the evening reception and were fantastic. Everybody sang their praises and said what a beautiful voice Natalie has. They were the perfect wedding duo and I would certainly book them again. They kept everyone dancing and entertained. A fabulous pair - they are friendly, easy-going and great to work with! BOOK THEM WITHOUT HESITATION!Mandi Smith

We were very pleased to have Natalie and Al play at our wedding at the Foxhill's Golf & Leisure Complex. They listened to our musical preferences and song choices and were able to accommodate us on our special day. They are very talented musicians and can play a variety of songs superbly; Natalie can sing beautifully and lots of our wedding guests commented on how good they were. I highly recommend them for weddings and other functions as they were excellent value for money.Mike & Sam Leach

We hired Alchemy Duo on recommendation from a friend. I was a bit nervous at first because of the number of people and the size of the venue. I really wanted to get people up to dance and I was concerned that a 2 piece band just wasn’t going to be big enough. Thankfully, I took a chance and how glad am I that I did!!! A massive thank you to Boutique in helping to make our Regional Awards event a massive success! Despite the large venue and large number of guests, they wowed the crowd with their beautiful singing and guitar playing. Al, in particular, really helped us out in ensuring the awards ceremony had some music for the presentations; which only added to the atmosphere. The dancefloor was full from start till finish – we even begged them to continue playing so we could get a few more dances in! Fantastic evening, made even better by a fantastic Duo!Michaela Hall

Guitar playing of immense variety and singing in a wide range of styles yet with their own unique interpretation is what you get from Al and Natalie. Whether it be in the pub on a Friday night or in the more genteel surroundings of the golf club for musical entertainment you won't go wrong with them. If you want a professional duo who produce a golden sound then Boutique are just up your street!Nigel Baxter

We really wanted to have an acoustic duo playing music during the champagne reception at our wedding; as soon as we heard Al and Natalie we immediately wanted them. They sang and played beautifully; completely professional and with the right level of calmness to make me feel at ease - I knew our wedding guests were in good hands. I cannot rate them enough. I cannot thank you enough for the excellent performance.Clare & Oliver

What an absolutely cracking performance! For me definitely one of the highlights of the Big Bash this year. We put you on in the mid-evening slot as we figured your wonderful guitar-work and Natalie’s beautiful vocals would be the perfect mellow accompaniment to dinner and a bit of chatter. You turned out to be so much more. We’ve never had people dancing on hay bales and screaming for more that early in the day – confess I wondered if the crowd would ever let you leave the stage! So huge thanks for an absolutely barn-storming set - you absolutely nailed it again.Nick Russell

Alchemy Duo played at my recent 50th birthday party - they were great to work with, really fun and cool people - they played a great range of music from the 60's, 70's and 80's through to music that my kids recognised! Natalie is pitch perfect with a fantastic vocal range and Al is truly a master of the guitar - both fantastic entertainers that really helped to make it a special night - thanks very much!Robin Frewer

When we were fortunate enough to hear you play live, we knew straight away that you could bring that "wow" factor to our wedding and you certainly helped us achieve that. We can't thank you enough for your contribution throughout our wedding at Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park. Your wonderful performances before, during and after the ceremony helped to bring the whole event to life and you captured the romance, emotion and sense of fun perfectly.Mark & Louise Endersby

Alchemy Duo played at our 25th wedding anniversary celebration at Tyrells Wood Golf Club. They are an extremely talented duo - Natalie vocally and Al on guitar. Their music appealed equally to our generation and to our children and their friends in their late teens and early twenties. Their range of music is broad and they pitched it absolutely right for the evening. Absolutely everyone enjoyed them and commented on how excellent they were. Al and Natalie are also really nice people and very accommodating when organising around the logistics of the event. I would highly recommend them for any occasion and hope we have another occasion to hire them for!Sue Willis

We have seen Alchemy Duo play quite a few times now. They played at my husband's 60th birthday party and all the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the duo. The singing and guitar playing is superb; Al's guitar playing seems to move along in absolute perfect harmony with Natalie's voice. An absolute pleasure to listen and dance to.Lynda & Murray Nicholson

From the moment Al & Nat arrived at our home to perform for our guests we knew it was going to be a fantastic evening. On their arrival at our home their relaxed and charming manner immediately put us at ease as we waited for our guests to arrive. That, coupled with their professionalism in setting up and then amazing talent once they began to play, was a really wonderful treat. I can't recommend them highly enough. I imagine they would suit any kind of occasion, large or small. They played a whole range of music from Stevie Wonder, to the Killers, to Bruno Mars and then Michael Jackson, which had everyone dancing and singing away in the garden on a warm summer's evening! All our guests have complimented the band for making it such a special night. I hope we can find an excuse to book them again very soon!Christian Brown

We hired Alchemy Duo for my 50th Garden Party recently. The favourable comments about them could not have been greater! All the guests complemented their sound – both the singing and guitar playing alike. They are a very professional and likeable duo who have their own style which is a pleasure to listen to and also very current. Even a couple of neighbours in my street after the party said how much they enjoyed listening to the music from their garden and how it made it such a pleasant Sunday afternoon sitting in chairs while having a BBQ! And another couple said they were due to go out, but decided to stay at home and listen to the wonderful music instead! We can’t recommend them highly enough.Mandy & Jonathan

Alchemy Duo played at our 2013 summer party which was hosted at Old Down Country Park in Bristol. They are a fantastic duo with immense cohesion. Boutique were extremely popular and as a result have been invited back again this year. They offered a great variety of songs and provided a relaxed vibe which left the audience thrilled.Jim McDowall

Al and Natalie are absolutely fantastic. They played last weekend at our wedding and provided the perfect ambience for our amazing day. We were extremely impressed by their warmth, support and professionalism during the day and their communication, advice and thoughtfulness in the months leading up to this. They are both outstanding musicians and all our guests commented on how awesome they were. They combined just the right amount of chilled out vibes so that people could warm themselves up for their second set which got everyone grooving. They really are able to seamlessly move between genres and clearly know how to construct a brilliant set list. They kindly played 3 songs of our choice (inc our first dance) and completely nailed each one perfectly. All in all we thought that they were faultless and can't thank them enough for the huge contribution that they made in making our wedding the best day ever. Could not recommend them highly enough.Alex & Keli

We have loved listening and dancing to Alchemy Duo's music for a few years when they play at one of our local pubs. They have a real chemistry together and we were delighted to find they were available to perform at our private house and garden party this Summer. Their selection of music is perfectly matched to them both, making a great sound and rhythm which I would challenge anyone not to feel! Our guests (and neighbours) loved them, particularly those who are local and also know their music well and from whom we had managed to keep it a secret! Thank you Al and Natalie for making our anniversary celebration so memorable.Vicki & Richard Dixon

I just wanted to say another massive thank you for performing at our wedding in July, you guys really made it an incredible experience. We've been complimented many times by our guests since then on just how well you performed, as well the songs you did! Thank you for taking the time to specifically learn the songs we had requested as well, it really meant a lot to us. Having the two of you made a world of difference to the evening, and you both performed brilliantly and were so friendly and lovely people throughout as well, it was really great meeting you and I do hope we can keep in touch.Neel & Jennifer Trivedi
