This spring, our flute and cello duo played elegant music for a sweet backyard wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The private setting gave the wedding an intimate feel, and our music added a charming touch throughout the event.
The groom initially found me and booked me, and then I also started communicating with the bride on music selections. She requested the we learn and play “Storybook Love” from the Princess Bride for her walk down the aisle as a surprise for the groom! I love that movie, and we couldn’t wait to see the look on the groom’s face when he heard the song, and his expression didn’t disappoint!
For the prelude music as guests were arriving, we set an elegant mood with beautiful classical music. After the ceremony, we played a mix of fun and lively classical music and jazz selections. The bride chose most of the set list, and the guests recognized and each and every song that we played. It’s wonderful to play recognizable tunes and have guests come up to us and tell us little stories that they associate with the music.
It was such a pleasure to meet this wonderful group of family and friends! They were all incredibly warm and kind, making this morning wedding pure joy to be a part of!
“Christen was Incredible”
“Christen was incredible. She is extremely organized and even helped me think through more decisions I needed to make for our ceremony, such as processional order. She is on top of everything and very detail oriented, which made her performance seamless. I hired her for a flute and cello performance and it was beautiful. They even learned "Storybook Love" from the Princess Bride movie to surprise my husband as I walked down the aisle. Thank you for everything!!” Maggie D., Bride
