TESTIMONIALS

"Hi Carmen and Rachel, I just wanted to drop a quick note and say thank you for yesterday. You were a bighit with the guests I have lots of comments on how wonderful you were. I hope we can work together in thefuture again as I love your voice and passion."

"Thank you Toucan for performing at our wedding! So professional, such great music, and very adaptive tothe needs of the day. Toucan has such a range of music on their song list and so were the perfect option forus, moving from delicate tunes in the garden to party anthems in the reception. The classical guitar playing‘here comes the bride’ was so elegant and fitting, and they themselves were dressed to impress. I did nothave to worry about a thing on the day, everything I asked of them prior to the wedding occurred likeclockwork. They even learnt two new songs for us! We loved them, our guests loved them – they are onlytwo people but what a great sound!"

" We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for singing at our birthday party on the 6 May 2012.Wanting to make our birthday something special I excitedly began searching for a singer on the net. After afew hours of searching I came across you and watched a live you tube video of you. I couldn’t believe howamazing your voice was and thought we just had to have you sing at our party. Being the parents of a newbaby and toddler I can’t remember the last time we were able to get out and enjoy some live music, let alonehaving the excitement of you performing here in our home...it was a dream come true!"

Kristine Armstrong Sydney 6th May 2012

"Saturday night's performance by Rachel & Eddy was "Everything & More" we imagined it would be.Rachel's voice is so beautiful to listen to and our guests were left wanting for more. A special surprise wasleft on the gift table - a signed copy of her CD - which was a lovely touch. We will treasure the memoriesmade at my husband's 50th Birthday Party for years to come. Thank you TOUCAN! No doubt we will see heragain soon."

"We were really happy with Rachel and Total Sound’s service. We were left without a musician for ourwedding with only a few weeks to go but as it turned out it was a blessing in disguise - Rachel was availableand she really stepped up to the plate. Nothing was too much trouble and Rachel was very organised andflexible enough to fit in with all our plans for the day. Rachel sang beautifully and even though the bride wasa few minutes late, she kept the crowd happy and extended her music play until the bride arrived. Our day




turned out perfectly and that was certainly in part due to Rachel’s music. We would happily recommendRachel for weddings and other functions. Thank you again."

Michael and Kim Taylor 11th November 2011 Ceremony @ Shakespeares Point @ Vaucluse

"Our request for extended performance. - it really was testament to how much everyone enjoyed theirperformance and sound. We are truly grateful to them for their flexibility on the night, Karen and I had anabsolute ball on the day, (like everyone - thery're all still talking abount the food, the music and the house!) alarge part of which was from how much we were enjoying listening to Rachel and Eddy play. Theirperformance was polished in every way and we feel very priveleged to have had them there. We do hopethey both also enjoyed themselves. We can not thank you all enough - it has been an absolute pleasure andwe do hope to have the opportunity to see Rachel and Eddy perform again in the future."

"Rob & I would like to thank you for the extra effort you went to on our Wedding Day we know you had beensick with a throat infection and you still sounded great to us and our Guests. For us your performance gaveour reception the personal touch, most Weddings want a band or a DJ and that’s great for dancing etc buthaving you there to entertain our guests for the first two and a half hours was fantastic and we wouldrecommend you to anyone getting married or for a special occasion."

Rob & Carole Davis, November 2008. Reception @ The Sebel, Sydney

"Rachel, Thank you so much for singing at our wedding ceremony. Your voice is amazing. Everyone at theceremony commented on how beautiful your voice was and how it 'sent a shiver down their spines' hearingyou. You provided the perfect musical backdrop for our ceremony- while guests were arriving, as I walkeddown the isle and as guests were leaving. Your range of music was also perfect- from old romantic songs tomodern songs appropriate for a wedding ceremony. I know my mum cried as you sang "I Hope You Dance"-our special song! Thank you also for spending the time with me to go through and choose the right songs aswell as giving up your time to attend our rehearsal. Your bubbly personality, flexibility and constantenthusiasm were a god send while trying to plan a wedding!! I would recommend you to anyone thinking ofhiring you- not just for a wedding ceremony, but for any occasion!"
