End of April Performances!

This month came to a close with 3 very fun weddings which we were honored to be a part of!
The first was the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour of Megan and Rob at the Glen Island Harbour Club on 4/23/10.
The bride was stunning and the groom ever so gracious. Our string trio performed traditional Processional music and we performed "In my Life" by the Beatles, selected by the bride and groom for the Recessional music.

At the cocktail hour they opted for the string trio to perform all vintage and contemporary songs from Cole Porter to Cold Play! It was alot of fun and the guests enjoyed the recognizable songs we performed from "All You Need is Love", "When I'm 64", to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "Clocks"!

On April 24th, a totally magnificent weather day with clear skies and beautifully comofortable temperatures hovering in the low 60's, I travelled to Brooklyn to perform with our cellist to form a String Duo for the Ceremony of the lovely and wonderful couple Heather and Matt!
The church was beautiful and historic. The Deacon and the music director were very nice and hospitable to work with.
The bride was absolutely stunning and radiant> I do not think I have ever seen a bride (except for me at my own wedding!) smiling so beautifully and with such sparkle on her wedding day as Heather was!
The ceremony was perfect, everything was on schedule and they were off to a park in Brooklyn to take more pic's before heading out to their venue for the reception which was the Jericho Terrace in Mineola NY.
A shout out to "Double Diamond Limousine Co". I thought the drivers were all being so nice and so helpful to everyone. They were polite, courteous and serving champagne. the cars looked great. I have never met them before however I was really impressed by the cars, the guys and their nice demeanor and how polite and professional they were!

Our weekend concluded with a very touching ceremony held at "The Narrow Door Pentacostal Church" on Sherman Avenue in Northern Manhattan...very north as in Inwood.
We performed once again as a Duet of Violin and Cello. We began performing out music for the arrival of the guests at 3:10 PM. I was very touched at how the staff of the church was cleaning everywhere when we arrived.
There was also a gentleman from the church who offered us both a special parking pass to double park near the church (very nice gesture for us) however we were both already parked safely.
We performed an eclectic mix of selections for the seating of guests from Duets by Telemann to arrangements of music from Wastermusic by Handel, to Spanish songs such as "Cuando Caliente el Sol" and "Sulamente una Vez" as well as "Can You feel the Love tonight".
The selected Processionals were:
"Canon in D" for the Seating of Mothers and 2 sets of God Parents
"Wedding Song" by Kenny G for the Bridesmaids, 2 Flower Girls and 1 Ring bearer
"Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion for the Bride's entrance with her Father.
The Bride recieved astounding applause from the congregation as she processed down the aisle and she looked amazaing..very beautiful!
Our good friend and colleauge Tara from Exquisite Affairs Productions was on hand to help everyone and to provide us with cues and it was lovely to see her as she had had a baby boy recently who is adorable and she looked GREAT.
We wish Margie and Kerlin....as well as
Heather and Matt (4/24/10)

Megan and Rob (4/23/10)
a LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS!!
