Joanna and Anna were fantastic to work with and were perfect for our wedding. We added a singer at the last minute and they accommodated the change easily and came to the wedding early to set-up and practice. They are extremely talented and our guests commented positively on their music and friendly personalities. I would highly recommend them for any musical need you would have. Thank you Joanna and Anna. Bobby

They were the best. People are still talking about their performance. I highly recommend them for anyones wedding. If you want a classic wedding that is different from the usual DJ, they are the answer. They showed up with plenty of time to set up and the music was seamless. The are the most professional musicians that we have ever dealt with. Again my hat is off to the girls and the great memories that they helped provide.

Polished was the perfect addition to my wedding ceremony. They were professional throughout my entire experience with them. They were very easy to work with and very accomidating. I was a music major in college, and had several musical selections that were not part of Joanna and Anna's normal repertoire that they learned just for our wedding ceremony. They arrived to the church early, and played more than requested when the ceremony started a couple minutes late. I would highly recommend Polished not only for their exceptional talent, but also for their consistent professionalism and eagerness to make our wedding day perfect. Thanks so much!

Polished performed beautifully at our wedding and were very accommodating with our special requests. After the wedding many guests commented how wonderful they sounded. They were very responsive with us prior to the wedding as well. I would highly recommend Polished for any type of event.

"Polished" set the tone for my wedding. They are what would be called a "class act". Not only are they lovely people, but they are professional, organized and talented. The wedding party arrived from hours of photos just in time for the ceremony. "Polished" had set themselves up in two areas was entertaining the guests and continued to do so for the cocktail hour. As far as the actual music was concerned, we picked only one song to accompany the bride down the isle. I left the entire ceremony and cocktail hour up to them. As I said, they are professional and I felt they had good judgement. The result exceeded my expectations. We had so many people comment on Joanna and Anna and their music. They are beautiful young women who added a special touch to my daughter's wedding. I can't thank them enough.

The Ladies, Joanna and Anna, were absolutely outstanding!! When we began our search for musicians, we were a little skeptical as to whether or not we would find the perfect one. We had it in our minds to go with a harpist for our event, but when we came upon Polished-a classy act, we were BLOWN AWAY, by the talent that was sampled on the website. Our wedding was planned within a 6 week time period, and the ladies were so pleasant, professional,and accommodatiing to work with. In fact, their performanance was one of the major things that my husband and I were really looking forward to. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. In fact, we were even more pleased by them than we had ever anticipated. Everyone was so impressed by these young, beautiful, TALENTED ladies. The fact that they were so gracious, professional, and friendly rounded out the package perfectly. In our guest list, there were some physicians who head their alumni association. They were asking about the musician and commented on how they would definitely keep them in mind for any future medical school ball events. Also on the guest list was the Family Readiness Group leader and new Company Commander for my husbands Army Reserve Unit..they too said that they would keep the ladies in mind when they plan the military balls in the future. Needless to say, these ladies are artists of superior talent and character. It was an absolute dream to work with them and to experience their music. Without them, our wedding would not have been as perfect as we had dreamed. We will definitely recommend Polished - a classy act to anyone who wants to have the very best for their event or occasion!! Melanie, Tyler and Jake Hemmerich, Sycamore, IL October 9, 2005

These two ladies are true professionals. They are both extremely skilled musicians who handle themselves with dignity and class. I was personally emarrased that their performance was accompanied by a few rowdy houseguests, but, they couldn't have handled the situation any better and with any more class! I give Polished my highest recommendation.

What an incredible addition to this auspicious occasion. The gals of Polished are wonderfully talented, elegant, and full of class. Offering a lengthy repertoire of material, not a single person at our reception was dissatisfied. We could not have hoped for a better outcome in our music selection, and will recommend Polished for any event under the sun! Thank you ladies, you were superb.
