News and Recent Performances
We performed for a beautiful beach front ceremony at the conveniently sheltered Grand Pavilion. We always enjoy the setting which features expansive views of the ocean. The wedding featured very natural and bold colors such as greens and beiges which were featured in the programs and in the flower arrangements.
The ceremony had a good balance of traditional and contemporary selections. In My Life is one of those songs that is more modern but has that classical sounding style to it. As a song it is very versatile and works well for the seating of the mothers. We have also performed it for the bridal party and the bride. “Viva La Vida” works best for the recessional since it has a faster tempo – almost a march like style.

Wedding Ceremony Setup
The sophisticated William Aiken House is always a happening venue to play at. It offers the bustling downtown vibe right at your footstep yet it feels private with the dramatic magnolia trees and foliage providing ample shade to the courtyard. The wedding colors were a fun and modern combination of soft pinks, whites, and grays in the flowers and bridesmaids dresses. The music program we performed took on the same contemporary style for the ceremony.

Wedding Ceremony
The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful for the late-morning ceremony that took place at the Daniel Island Club. The cloudless sky and gentle breeze helped the guests enjoy the surroundings during the prelude time. The wedding colors of sage green and pink created a romantic and fun atmosphere also in timing with the upcoming spring season. We performed part of the prelude with a guest flutist which created a nice change of instrumentation with the flute taking the solo parts.
