Kate, Bridget, and Julia were amazing as our wedding ceremony ensemble. Kate reached out to my request for an ensemble and offered to assemble a team that could get the job done. I can confidently say that Kate, Bridget, and Julia went above and beyond to exceed our expectations! Everyone was so kind, courteous, and, most importantly, amazingly talented performers. Kate and her team graciously agreed to work with my musical arrangement, coordinate an extra rehearsal outside of the wedding itself, and on top of that, offered to perform prelude music as people were walking into the ceremony to find their seats. Moreover, Kate and her team were able to pivot during our processional and extend the piece on the fly, as the estimated performance time ended up going longer than expected. They seamlessly adapted and performed in such a way that made the ceremony magical. Thank you all for making our ceremony unforgettable, and I would highly recommend Kate's services for any and all musical needs!
