About Better Half

Better Half

We are Better Half - violinist Regina Tolley and guitarist Allen de la Rosa. Our violin + guitar duo enjoys playing romantic, classic, popular, and alternative music to set the mood for weddings, elopements, engagements, and any occasion people come together to celebrate!! Performing together since 2013, we both have a passion for music, entertainment, and travel (we've played together in the United States and Europe). We love working alongside our couples to create the perfect personalized soundtrack for their special day, and elevate the experience with a unique and memorable performance for the one-in-a-lifetime day!!

Better Half is a violin + guitar duo that pulls on your heartstrings. Although we specialize in covers of emo / pop punk / indie music, we have **hundreds** of songs in our repertoire across all genres (and keep adding more with each wedding and event we play), and love creating a unique playlist for each unique event. ⁣⁣Live instrumental music is a versatile and truly universal addition to your celebrations that connects your guests of all generations. And in case you can’t tell from watching our videos, we have sooo much fun playing music together, bringing beauty + emotion to our performances.

    Over the Top Elegance & Professionalism

    Regina was amazing to work with: punctual, prepared, attentive, and knowledgeable. Her professionalism is obvious with her planning process and no need to be nudged one way or the other on the big day. She's done this before and she knows how to make your day what you are looking for! Her violin blew everyone away, so so beautiful. If you're looking for a violinist or a guitar player Better Half truly is for you. We were so thrilled and couldn't have picked better. Thank you Better Half!


For weddings, we typically wear all black, varying from cocktail to formal attire depending on the level of formality of your occasion. But we love to have fun and be creative, so if you want us to wear something specific, please let us know!!
Better Half can provide live music for *all* parts of your wedding day - the ceremony, cocktail hour, grand entrance, first dance(s), dinner, and can even join your DJ for the dance party!! Have any questions about what parts of your event you'd like us to play that aren't listed? Reach out to us with your idea, and there's a 99.9% chance we can make it happen!!
We've been getting a lot of inquiries recently about providing sound for wedding ceremonies, including a microphone, mic stand, speakers, and a mixer - and the answer is yes!! Better Half can now take care of all your ceremony sound needs at an additional cost. We also provide customized, professionally-recorded cover or original songs for your wedding film. Contact us for more details!!
