Out of all the talent we had at the event, your performers were the most wonderful and easy to work with, and everyone was incredibly talented!

Please extend our thanks to all the artists. We’ll definitely be reaching out for future music events, and thanks again! Cheers.”

“Leanne Gunnulson from Artist bookings needs a medal for being the best entertainment organiser in the city, especially during COVID 19. We had such a challenge this year to get married, after many date changes we finally were able to have our ceremony on the 4th July. We contacted Leanne with 7 days’ notice to see if she could arrange a suitable music duo for our wedding and she was absolutely amazing nothing was too hard for her. Leanne instantly sent me a range of artists to choose from.
We decided on ‘Best in Black’ what a duo team! they were absolutely sensational. We gave them a range of music that we wanted to be played and at such late notice we knew that it was possibly not all going to be played. To our amazement they played not one but all five ballads we had requested. Our 20 guests at our ceremony and 50 on zoom were just so overjoyed with the quality and professionalism of Best in Black, they have tremendous acoustic guitar skills that filled all our hearts with joy.
Thank you ‘BEST IN BLACK’ you are both very talented musicians and make our wedding just wonderful. We highly recommend that you make the decision to choose Leanne from Artist bookings for your next event, she will suggest the suitable musicians to make your special day absolutely incredible. Thank you so much Leanne for your support your artists ‘Best in Black were the icing in the cake on our wedding day. ”
“ I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the truly remarkable performance you and Murraywa Dow delivered during First in Course. Your talent and artistry added an extraordinary touch to the entire experience, and we are immensely grateful for the magic you brought to the stage.
Your performance had captivated the audience and leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. The energy you both brought to the stage created a memorable and enjoyable atmosphere that elevated the entire event.
On behalf of NSW Education Standard Authority, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to both of you for sharing your exceptional talent with us.
We look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future. ”
“Yes the cellist and violinist were fantastic. They were communicative and took initiative to stop and start when the moment was right. We had speeches, presentations etc throughout the event and they timed everything beautifully. The event was to celebrate 70 years of Meals on Wheels in Australia ”
“Hi Leanne and Anthony,
I’d just like to say a big thank you to you both, as well as Eric and Ben for yesterday’s performance at the NBL. The client was extremely satisfied and they mentioned they had a lot of comments and messages on social media from their fans expressing how great they thought Eric and Bens performance was.
That was truly one of the most beautiful acknowledgements I’ve witnessed – it was so unique and I know I wasn’t the only person in the arena with goosebumps!”
“ Dear Leanne and team,
Thank you for your support and coordination of the booking for an artist at our event in Sydney last week. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to Blanche for joining us, everyone really enjoyed his music and on day 2 I had a few attendees let me know they had located him on Spotify and had added him to their regular playlists. He was very gracious and friendly, and we all enjoyed chatting with him throughout the evening. I hope he enjoyed himself also. ”
“On behalf of the team we just wanted to say a massive thank you again for helping us host an amazing event yesterday.
Ben treated us to an amazing didgeridoo performance, an insight into Aboriginal History (and how we could find out more), as well a very fun sprinkling of comedy which was very entertaining. It capped off a beautiful event for our NAIDOC Week Celebrations, and we hope to have more performances from Artist Bookings in the future”

It was a gorgeous sunny morning with our 54 guests, all of whom loved having Henry’s music as background. His solo rendition of Mr Mississippi (apologies the title may not be correct) was beautiful. Henry certainly added a gentle jazzy atmosphere to our morning. Huge thanks to him!”
