Testimonials

  • "Our thanks to all of you again for being a part of our special day. Things ran a little behind and your performance really kept everything beautiful while our guests were waiting. Your assistance in arranging our song was phenomenal and the performance while my bride walked down the isle just added to everything else to take my breath away. Thanks again for helping us make this an amazing experience for us and our guests. We will be sure to recommend you any chance we get."

    -Alex Nation

  • "I would like to thank you for your beautiful performance, Sunday, at our wedding! The music was perfect, and created the exact atmosphere that Matthew and I were imagining. It felt to us like a garden party that might have happened a long time ago. The ambiance was truly magical. I didn't get a chance to thank you before you left, so please do tell each of the ladies how much we enjoyed it. Our guests, too, have complimented you several times over. We are so very pleased. Thank you again, and we hope to hear you perform again someday when we visit Illinois!"

    -Jennifer Gover Bannon
