REVIEWS

High Society played an integral part in creating a memorable evening for our key partners. Their performance throughout the night created a perfect ambience, curating a quality, high profile feel to our event. I’d highly recommend them and use them again.

SARAH DE VANTIER, BURO SEATING

 

Ra and Hayden were AMAZING! I had spent a few weeks leading up to the wedding liaising with Ra on the various songs and accompaniments and she was happy to take all our changes and requirements on board. The day itself ran a little differently to your average wedding and they were both super flexible and happy to slot in where we needed. The guests and the couple loved them and commented frequently on how lovely they were both in sound, persona and look. I would happily book them again for another of our weddings.

DANIELLE ESTERMAN, OH SUCH STYLE

 

Ra was a pleasure to work with, highly professional (coming from a very tough customer!) and her voice was one of those very rare voices you hear – beautiful and moving. Highly recommend Ra. Thanks Jacob. So pleased with how it all went!

EMMA LEWISHAM, PRIVATE EVENT

 

High Society were spot on for our Tall Blacks dinner at the SKYCITY Convention Centre. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how it made the evening for them. They delivered three sets that matched this event perfectly. I can’t wait to organise another event so we can have Ra and Hayden back again to entertain us with their mix of laid back soul.
