Brilliant selection of songs and fab voices, we are so pleased we booked you both! Thanks so much again and everyone has been sending us lovely messages saying how much they enjoyed themselves and the music!
I could not recommend them enough! They have been brilliant. We got great feedback from our guests and most importantly we loved them too!
Absolutely awesome duo, Rachel & Peter are such a nice couple, the reportoire of songs is huge, they know how to keep everybody having fun for all ages, booked as a surprise for my party at my house, the vocals of Rachel are truly amazing and she sings like an angel, Peter great too and plays the guitar.
Setup included all the PA, perfect lighting and music while they took a well earned break. I would book them again in a heartbeat, just need a good excuse to party again soon, 10/10, don't think, just book them, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely out of this world.
We had Rachel and Peter for my 40th, a garden party at our home.
They arrived on time, set up quickly and made the night.
They played songs we asked for and also some they thought would be suited to us.
It was such a special time for me, Rachel and Peter made it perfect.
We will be sure to use them again for future events.
The Upbeats Duo were amazing and made my Party Complete from start to finish. they kept in contact and their music choices along with mine were brilliant and even did a DJ set can not recommend them highly enough in fact we paid a bit more for them to stay longer Book Book Book
Rachel and Peter, WOW. They are both so talented with incredible voices!
They played at our garden wedding from the first dance, and their version of our song did not disappoint! We keep watching videos of it on repeat and we are so happy with it!
They were also accommodating of letting us use their PA systems for our cermony and speeches during dinner. It made it a lot easier than us having to find something temporary.
Despite the rain for the most part of the evening, everyone had a great time and was on the dancefloor for most of it! All the guests have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and feedback on them have been 100% positive.
They are very professional but also very friendly.
Would definitely recommend them.
Thank you both for making our special day even more special!
We met Rachel and Peter, The Upbeats Duo, on a cruise and loved their show so much, we bought the CD. Two years later, we got in touch with them to see if they could play at my husband’s 70th birthday. We were delighted when they said yes. We thought that pleasing an age range from 19 to 70 would be a struggle, but no, the Upbeats catered for all of us.
Rachel and Peter are an absolutely delightful couple, immensely talented with various instruments and singing. The dance floor was hopping from the get-go until we had to finish. The encores would still be going on now, but sadly we had to eventually stop the evening.
Have your entertainment provided by Rachel and Peter and you won’t be disappointed. Oh and they’re both utterly gorgeous too!
