Anna has a beautiful voice and their music was exactly what we were looking for. We received many compliments from our guests about how great the music was. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a classy and intimate music option for your special event. Thank you again Anna and Dave for being a part of our special day!" -Wedding 7.5 |

"So happy to have found this talented duo!! We hired The High Spirits to perform a song during our wedding ceremony as well as music for when our guests were arriving. We're so happy to have had Anna and Dave be a part of our wedding ceremony! They were easy to communicate with during our planning process and replied clearly and quickly to all of our questions that came up along the way. They were very helpful in providing suggestions for what songs to play and at the same time very open to our requests. Dave and Anna provided us with their professional opinion in how to use music to help maintain a natural flow to our event. The blend of Anna's beautiful voice with Dave's skilled guitar playing helped to create a warm and uplifting atmosphere for our guests to mingle while waiting for our ceremony. They delivered an excellent performance of a song we chose to be included in our ceremony, leaving many guests talking about what a wonderful and unique addition they provided to our ceremony. I would highly recommend The High Spirits to anyone for any event!" -Wedding 3.16 |
"The High Spirits were the perfect addition to our wedding. They were super easy and attentive to work with, and extremely flexible to our needs. They learned the songs we wanted for our wedding so fast and with perfection. They already have a very diverse playlist, and shocked me how they can transition into different genres and even decades. They are truly amazing singers, song writers, musicians and people to work with. We try to go see them whenever they play live in our area, and have continuous remarks from our wedding guests on how good they were. I would definitely recommend going to see The High Spirits and having them play at any kind of event." -Wedding 8.23 "The Patterson duo was perfect for my wedding! They were so easy to work with, personable and energetic before and during the wedding. My ceremony was held outdoors and The High Spirits brought together the perfect atmosphere we were searching for. They have such a great sound and beat an organ and slow hymn any day! You won't be disappointed!" -Wedding 7.13 |
"Anna was amazing right from the start! Always quick to respond to my questions and very professional. I had requested she sing a very specific song that she had to learn before our big day. She completed my ceremony vision perfectly! I could not have found a more perfect group of musicians! Our guests loved the pre-ceremony music too! HIGHLY recommend her!!" -Wedding 8.31

"The High Spirits provided exactly what we needed for our wedding ceremony, which had to be acoustic. Dave was very easy to work with. I really appreciated being able to bounce ideas back and forth. We were able to give him an idea of our tastes and favorites and he provided his professional input so we got a great sounding set that was meaningful to us too. Timely, helpful responses. Not to mention very friendly and fun! Would definitely recommend The High Spirits for any event requiring fun, quality music performance. Also affordable. Thank you so much Dave!" -Wedding 10.12 |

Anna and Dave Patterson are very down-to-earth and their music is too. A combination of Americana, folk, blues, and rock, The High Spirits have something for everyone. They are a crowd favorite, and we look forward to seeing them again." -Local Performance 6.13 |
