Booked for Birthday party

Emmanuel is a very friendly DJ, was more than willing to accommodate my song list and requests. Very happy with everything all around. I would highly recommend. I think he quite enjoyed busting out the garage music at the end of my party as much as we enjoyed dancing to it. Great night.

Booked for Birthday party

DJ was overall excellent. Preparation for the event was great and we discussed music beforehand. Delivered on the day with great music. Stayed plenty late as the party was extended and he helped with announcements and setting up lights.

Booked for Wedding

Vikki was excellent, my only regret in booking her is that I wasn't able to physically be more present to enjoy her playing after the ceremony, as I was dragged off for photos (I was the groom, hah). She was accomodating, professional, and her playing was beautiful. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Vikki! -Bryn & Jules

Booked for Birthday party

Booked for Wedding

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I can't recommend Iconic Duo Singing waiters enough! We had them at our wedding and they were incredible! They had everyone on their feet up dancing so fast, the songs choices were great, and their voices were brilliant. The vibe was next level!! They were the most reasonable in price and we had two singers as standard. The surprise was the highlight of ours and all of our guests days. I promise you will not regret booking them!

Booked for Birthday party

Jim and Fiona were a pleasure to work with. They showed up on time, listened to requests and were fun people. Thank you for your service and my Mum had the best night.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
