On a crisp, sunny winter day, I enjoyed playing my cello along with my string trio for a beautiful Christian wedding ceremony. Despite the chill, the sun lent a warmth to the day that set the scene for this charming winter wedding at The Oaks at Plum Creek.

Located in a cozy suburban corner, The Oaks offers an impressive indoor space with a sweeping view of the golf course and city, and our musical performance elevated the space and gave the day a celebratory feel.

As guests began to arrive, we played a prelude of both classical and contemporary pieces. The positive feedback we received from the arriving guests made us feel good that our performance was being well-received and enjoyed.

For the communion the bride selected the hymn "Be Thou My Vision". It was such a lovely pause in the ceremony, a sacred moment shared between the bride and the groom,

After the formal ceremony concluded, our lively music accompanied the guests as they transitioned from the ceremony to the reception.

Winter weddings are less common than celebrations in the spring and summer months, but they lend a unique charm and and beauty that’s just as enchanting. My trio and I were thrilled to be a part of this couple’s special day!

This summer, our violin and cello duo played music for a wedding ceremony at the Oaks at Plum Creek. The couple requested a set list of modern music, which we played as guests arrived.

The weather was very blustery and threatening rain, so the ceremony began early and concluded just as the first fat drops of rain began to fall. Just as we finished playing the recessional song, it began to pour in earnest, and we felt fortunate that we were under a canopy covering to protect our instruments!

Prelude Music (sample selections):
What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong), Blackbird (Beatles), All of the Lights (Kayne West), Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King, Hey Ya (Outkast)

Wedding Ceremony Music:
A Thousand Years (Christina Perri) - Wedding Party
Butterfly Waltz from Twilight - Flower Girl and Bride
