Our beautiful cellist and contractor Ashley with the beautiful chuppa at Julia's and Jonas' wedding this weekend. This wedding was unique in that we didn't play one piece of classical music. Instead, the couple chose an all pop program arranged for string quartet, including "Hoppippolla" by Sigur Rós as the processional music. Thanks to coordinators Molly and Nicky at Soiree, Special Event Planning for their usual excellence!

We truly love to perform on the most special days of people's lives. It brings meaning to what we do. But we've learned over the years that weddings can be a special kind of challenge & stress, and it's necessary to expect the unexpected. This is why we like to work with great players who are also consummate professionals, like the amazing women pictured here. Thank you Sarah, Jen and Ashley for being so awesome. And thank you Katie at Gather Event Planning and Consultation for your wonderful work and attention to detail!
