Hello Karen, “I wanted to say THANKS again for the beautiful music your string duo performed for us on our Wedding Day at the Dallas Arboretum. Walking up to Nancy's Garden and listening to the music made me so excited because it sounded as romantic as I envisioned my entrance to be. The music played was performed PERFECTLY. And then to top it all off, as we walked off with our children following us, and the Brady Bunch theme song playing in the background, it was humorous and fun. We have received several compliments from the wedding, partly due to your duo. I will definitely recommend you to anyone that I know that's planning a wedding.
