A Wonderful Thank You Note We Received!

Dear Natalie,
I just wanted to say "thank you" for the great work you and the other musicians did at our wedding. You gave such good guidance when we were trying to make our selections, and, as a result, the music was *perfect*. I really appreciated your group's ability to play traditional and contemporary musical selections; it made our wedding feel very personal. Also, y'all really rolled with the punches when we were faced with horrible weather and a late start time -- thank you! The music at our ceremony really made it special. Please feel free to give my information to any of your potential clients who want references. I've got nothing but great things to say! --

The above letter was received via E-mail on April 3rd 2010.
We performed at Meggan and Jon's Wedding Ceremony on March 13th at
"The Foundry" in Long Island City.
It was a very beautiful wedding and Meggan is such a nice person!
She and I met at my residence to discuss music and more
several months prior to our being reserved to perform at her wedding.
We performed her special requests for Prelude music/music as the guests assembled for the Ceremony:
1. Largo from Winter from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi
2. Some Enchanted Evening by Richard Rodgers from South Pacific
3. Someone to Watch Over me by Gerswhin
4. La Vie en rose by Louiguy-Piaf

For the Ceremony we performed 4 Processionals:
1. Simple Gifts for the entrance of the Rabbi and seating of Family
2. "Thank You", by Led Zeppelin and arranged by me/Natalie Kriegler
for the entrance of the Groomsmen and the Groom and his Parents
3. "Allegro" from Spring of the Four Seasons by Vivaldi for the Bridesmaids
4. "She's Got a Way" by Billy Joel, arranged by me/Natalie Kriegler, for the Bride/For Meggan's entrance with her parents
The Wedding Recessional was Siman Tov - Mazel tov into a dance medley of Jewish favorites from Hava Nagia to Shalom Alechem and Dayenu.
It was a difficult night for travel as it was the night of a huge
storm during which many residents of Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey
lost their power!
Considering how bad of an evening it was weather wise the bus with many of the wedding guests was only about 10-15 minutes late to the ceremony.
I was with our cellist Eugene and we were driving to LIC from another wedding which we had performed at a Catholic Church in Florham Park NJ. We drove on the Palisades Parkway for a bit and it was so devastating to see the felled trees over the roadway, policemen everywhere and cars stuck in the ditches in between the north and soutbound areas of the highway!
It's one of those nights we can't forget.
Our home in lower Westchester was blacked out for a few days lol.
We hope everyone reading this fared well on that night :)

Thanks for reading this!
