Busy Summer... Continued!

Hi Everyone!  I wanted to continue to share the events that we are so honored to be a part of, so far this summer! On June 16, I traveled down to Greenville, South Carolina to be a part of Marie Becer and Trevor Ilse's wedding ceremony.  Marie is my cousin, so I was sooo excited that she asked me to play for her wedding.  The pianist, Andy Welchel, and I performed some classical standards, but also some surprises for the guests!  Marie requested music from Star Wars and Harry Potter!! It was so much fun to incorporate some John Williams into the Prelude!  Here's me during the rehearsal--I think this was taken during "Hedwig's Theme"! 

George Kroner and Stephanie Lidstone's wedding was the same day, only 600 miles away at the lovely Hidden Valley Resort.  George requested a string quartet to perform for their ceremony and cocktail hour.  The ski lodge was the perfect setting for a wedding! 

Next was Briana Tsarnas and Dan Mahon's wedding ceremony at the amazingly beautiful Ashford Estate in Allentown, NJ!  This venue is one of my favorites so far.  Briana requested a violin and cello duet to perform for her wedding, and we performed works by Bach, Pachelbel, Debussy, and Purcell. Here's a picture of the estate: 

And here's a picture of inside of the barn, where the ceremony took place: 

The last event I'd like to share for this post is Valerie Moore and David Melilli's wedding, that took place on July 23rd.  Valerie had such a unique request for me: she asked that I precede her down the aisle while playing her processional, Cannon in D!  I thought that was such a great idea!  We had never done anything like that before, but I'm always open to a new challenge.  It kind of reminded me of the trumpeters that would precede a king or queen in Medieval times!  I was a little scared I would trip and fall while walking down the aisle, so it was a little nerve-wracking.  But don't worry, I didn't :) It went off without a hitch!  

That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed it :)
