Due to COVID-19, we ended up deciding to elope in our backyard with just some family & we planned the whole thing in ONE WEEK. We contacted Melonbelly to see if they could work with us, and they were so incredibly accommodating! They learned our first dance song for us and were overall a pleasure to work with. I 100% would recommend them to anyone looking for fun, chill and easy to work with musicians!

Melonbelly played for our rehearsal party at Jimmy V's in Raleigh. Our guests loved them! Plus, Clifton and Burke were so easy to work with -- which made this duo doubly nice for me.
