“Thanks very much - we really appreciated the work by your group yesterday - the music was great and fit well with the various phases of the event - I wish I had had more time to simply listen and enjoy - the strings around the ceremony were very well done and the trumpet recessional was just the ticket - very much appreciated that extra little item. Very nicely done all around and everyone had a great time with seamless musical support.”
