" They were great from the very start til the end of our special day. They helped us put together the best combo/package for our French themed wedding. My husband being American we were so happy to find a group that could really embrace both cultures! Their repertoire was so versatile! We had violin and cello for the ceremony: simply amazing then the 5 piece band for cocktail hour and dinner was just the right amount of class and fun. Would highly recommend, could not be happier! "
