June 18, 2023Guests LOVED them and we did too!
String quartet was early for set-up, did an incredible job playing throughout the ceremony and even stayed extra time during cocktail hour. Communication before the wedding was also perfect and very timely - something we didn’t find with all our vendors! Our crowd adored them and it definitely added a special touch to our day!
