Armonia were wonderful! They arrived promptly, and played for the wedding ceremony and cocktail portion of the reception. All four ladies are lovely and play beautifully. We love their mix of classical and contemporary music. It was like an episode of Bridgerton in Sicily!! Highly recommend them.

I cannot even try to begin to express my gratitude to this band for making my wedding what it was. Music is everything for a wedding. When you’re not Italian, do not speak Italian, it’s pretty scary getting married in Italy. The Butterflies made the most important day of our lives anything but scary. They delivered like I’ve never seen. They set the tone for the rest of our lives. Everyone was on their feet the ENTIRE night. I couldn’t have imagined a night like they provided in my wildest dreams. 1000/10 our love always, Lindsay & Ben

The experience with the band was fantastic!! The music during the ceremony was great, has an incredible voice and the guitar was perfect. The party was one of our highlights! The band performed brilliantly, I can't remember another wedding party where the dancefloor was that full all the time. The songs were well chosen and the performance was with a lot of energy- overall a great show! Also the DJ part was awesome. So putting it all together: We were super happy to have you on that special day! We would book again anytime!
