Gretchen knocked it out of the ballpark at my daughter’s wedding. It was an outside wedding. Gretchen performed as guests arrived, as they left and during the ceremony. It was the perfect music addition to the day.
Gretchen was very easy to work with. From initial booking to song choice to day of performance. I highly recommend reaching out to Gretchen if you want a special touch for your evert. You won’t be disappointed.
