DJ Stringz in the Mountains

Finally! We get the chance to be the DJ for dinner! Woo-ho! In our first outing upstate to Mountainville, NY, we were hired to be the only music for the lovely wedding of Geri & Joe. The couple selected a program of classical music, jazz standards, and oldies – but goodies – from the 60s-80s.…

Our string quartet performed powerful 80s ballads and classical favorites for the ceremony and cocktail hour which was officiated by the bride’s dance instructor! Eventually, the rain did start to fall but not til…

Inside a heated patio, we played a selection of classical and pop hits then moved to the dining area for a bit of…

And the second wedding of the day: a gorgeous outdoor celebration for Nick & Ric! Unfortunately, the rain began to pour, but the grooms were well prepared with a tent to cover the entire ceremony and cocktail area!

Hitched in a Barn by the Sea

The 2-hour trip was worth it for a lovely beach-front wedding. The ceremony was held indoors – but outdoors – in a rustic barn complete with wooden benches and a spiral staircase. Guests were dressed like beach-goers: flip-flops, shorts, sun dresses & glasses – though we played more traditional fare. The highlight of the ceremony…

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…

Serenading at the Shoreline

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…
