Palmetto Strings –  Ceremony & Reception Music for Weddings

Music for Reception at the Ocean Course

View of the Ocean Course

Bob and Mike Williams performed on April 14th, 2010 at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island. This group specifically wanted the Williams Duo and their unique songs they play.

The company’s planner contacted us a few weeks before the event, and for a surprise for the guests, she ordered our CD for every person who attended the event. After listening to the Williams Duo for the reception, they would leave and find the CD of the Williams Duo as a surprise, wrapped nicely in their hotel rooms at the Sanctuary Hotel to take home with them.

By the end of the night, it turned into pretty much a concert, with most everyone sitting down listening to us and playing name that tune. We’ve never heard so many requests of pop songs… we play one by Eric Clapton or the Chili Peppers and boom, everyone wants to hear this and that, and the energy level of the entire room just went up. They wanted entertainment, and not just ‘background music’.

It is worth the wait with drive to the ‘end of Kiawah’ at the Ocean Course, with its stunning views of the golf course, clubhouse and ocean / dunes all in one. It feels like you have ‘gotten away from it all’. It is definitely a one of a kind place to visit. Find more information on having your wedding at the Ocean Course, Kiawah Island SC.

Music for Dinner at Kiawah’s Sanctuary Hotel

Group Dinner at Kiawah

Bob and Mike thoroughly enjoyed performing their special repertoire at the Kiawah’s Sanctuary hotel. The first hour started outside of the Terrace Oaks Ballroom, overlooking the beach. Bob & Mike performed their music memorized, with no music stand which makes it look a little less cluttered. They amplified their acoustic instruments, which were heard well through the crowd outdoors. The final 2 hours were inside the Terrace Oaks, for dinner. They played ‘name that tune’, and played some of their more difficult-to-guess songs.

It’s funny when you have one table trying to guess, then another table trying come up with the title or artist of the song we are playing first; it’s as entertaining to us as our performance is to them!
