Jersey Elegance - 23 October 2014

We had the chance to perform for an all-day wedding celebration in New Jersey. First, a ceremony at a rustic Spanish villa-style catholic church followed by a luxurious cocktail hour at the pristine Addison Park. For the ceremony, the acoustic were great, so we went with a traditional program of Bach and Franck. The ceremony was modern traditional and featured opera and cabaret singer Janet Villas! For the cocktail hour, we had free reign and went more contemporary, with current top 40 hits. Congratulations to happy couple now enjoying their honeymoon!

Serenading at the Shoreline - 22 August 2014

After a 3-hour trip on a Friday afternoon, we arrived at a lovely beach-side hotel for Katie and Lucas's wedding ceremony. With the threat of rain, the mood was initially ominous, but sunshine through the clouds helped assuage concerns. The couple chose an all-contemporary program for their very sweet and intimate ceremony. And even when it did starting to sprinkle, the staff at the hotel come to our rescue covered us with umbrellas - thank you! For cocktail hour, we were inside a glorious parlor room overlooking the water, entertaining guests with pop and rock favorites. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Belle in the Ballroom - 16 August 2014

Right in the heart of Manhattan lies the quaint Prince George Ballroom, an immaculate space we had the opportunity to visit. Jacqueline and Rob chose movie musics as their theme, selecting memorable tracks from Disney films and The Secret Garden - they worked perfectly for the regal decor of the venue. We also performed two classical works with the immensely talented soprano Jennifer Borghi. Congrats to the happy newlyweds!

Our visit visit to the beautiful Bartow-Pell Mansion was a smashing successful. We were treated to a stunning garden party complete with greek statues, fountains, and tons of flowers.
