Many brides approach us about accompanying their mass ceremony. The most elegant solution if you do not want an organist, is to substitute harp. This past weekend, at Christine and Josh’s wedding in Tom’s River, NJ, we sent Jama Jandrokovic to cantor and Kristi Shade on harp. For instrumental sections we added flute, violin and cello to the mix. The harp and voice were extraordinary, not to mention beautiful. A wonderful option for any wedding ceremony!
For Jessica and Carl’s wedding we played Des’ree’s Kissing You from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. It was fabulous and of course the Mandarin’s candlelit room was stunningly romantic. They recessed in celebration to One Love by Bob Marley. Everyone loved their selections!
If you’ve never been to Gustavino’s, you must. Some of the city’s most beautiful architecture is located underneath the Queensboro bridge. Who knew? Our trio performed and we were in awe of the space the entire time.
We took a ride out to New Rochelle this weekend for Nick and Danielle’s wedding. What a gorgeous setting - Glen Island Harbour Club is on a beautiful island overlooking some great city views. Check it out!
Kate, Kristi and I traveled to Hamden, CT this Saturday for the mass ceremony of Maggie and Keith. What a wonderful couple! Special thanks to Jama who accompanied the congregation with her gorgeous voice!
Our last stop on Saturday was the Lyndhurst Castle for Sarah and Bob’s outdoor wedding. They concluded their ceremony with a selection from “Peter and the Wolf” to honor Sarah’s grandfather. It was magical. And yes, we were even able to take a photo with Stacy London
Such a beautiful wedding up in Fort Tryon Park this weekend. New Leaf Cafe is nestled into the park and so beautiful. The ceremony was held on the patio with the guests seated around the Jessica and Jeff. Very intimate and lovely!
We had the chance to play flute, cello, harp trio on Sunday for a baptism party. It was a wonderful afternoon at the Jersey shore with some amazing music and awesome guests.
We had an amazing time at Leah and Michael’s wedding yesterday! Outfitted by Darcy Miller and her team from Martha Stewart Weddings as well as fabulous coordinators Claudia and Jennifer from the Wedding Library. We are excited that we could be there. My photos pale in comparison to the amazing photos from Mel Barlow. Check out the Wedding Library post here.
It’s June… the month for weddings… and what better way to celebrate than to pop-up a store in Brooklyn just for you - the bride and groom? This is just what Claudia and the librarians are doing from the the wedding library. Head on over to Williamsburg where you’ll find the hippest of vendors (including us, more on that later! :) Along with Brooklyn Bride and Martha Stewart Weddings, the Wedding Library has scheduled a month long series of events including winning an all-expenses paid ceremony/honeymoon! If you’re wanting to get hitched in this one time chapel, it only costs $500! Check out the schedule here.
New event June 13-14 - check it out! It’s free and takes place at Sweet Revenge a yummy cupcake shop in the village. There will be many tips on cost saving wedding planning as well as cool vendors for the NYC bride!
At our recent event we met NYC photographer Erik Ekroth. We fell in love with his photographs immediately. He took this photo of our setup - I love the highlighted blues. Check out his work (and hire him for your wedding!)
We thoroughly enjoyed the event this Sunday in Soho! We met a lot of great brides, performed over the lunch hour and had a great time interacting with the other wedding vendors. Thank you to Anna and the amazing team at Papyrus for hosting the event!

It was a busy night for us this Friday. After Battery Gardens, we went to Pleasantdale Chateau to surprise - our host - Freddie’s wife Gina. She loved her surprise and enjoyed an amazingly beautiful party that we were delighted to accompany. On our break we not only found an inside garden but a caricature artist as well as a palm reader. All this and we also performed from 7 til midnite!
Last night we performed at Battery Gardens as a jazz quartet. (We forgot to get a photo of flute!) From our performing spot we could even see the Statue of Liberty! Many thanks to Jim and Mixit
