This was a beautiful wedding and cocktail hour at The Arbors Events – what a gorgeous venue! And of course perfect weather doesn’t hurt either 😉

For this wedding, I got to play with the lovely and talented April, violinist! We did both the ceremony and cocktail hour together. Per the bride and groom’s request, we put together the music for them – I’m always happy to take care of this {one less task on your long to-do list :)}

Seating of Mothers ~ Ave Maria (Schubert)

Bridesmaids ~ Arioso (Bach)

Bride ~ Canon in D (Pachelbel)

Recessional ~ Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring

For the cocktail hour, we played a nice mix of classic tunes and modern love songs: Fly Me To The Moon, 1000 Years, Love Story, Moon River, Marry Me

Wellmore Assisted Living

I was invited to play at the grand opening for Wellmore’s beautiful, brand new campus in Tega Cay. This was a great event! All stops were pulled out – several live musicians, tours of the building, a ribbon cutting ceremony, and gourmet savories and desserts. The brand new facility is beautifully decorated, and has everything from a salon/spa to an elegant dining room and indoor pool!

I played a little of everything for this event – classical, modern, show tunes and oldies. A great afternoon!

Ember Grille, Westin Charlotte

It was a pleasure to be invited back to The Westin Hotel in uptown Charlotte for their Mother’s Day Brunch! Held in the Ember Grill, this event was an absolutely perfect place to bring someone as special as your mother to celebrate her big day 🙂 Besides the fabulous brunch buffet tables, over flowing with anything from lobster to crepes, there was also a special area set up for the kiddos to do arts and crafts.

I played a little of everything over the several hours I was there ~ classical, modern music and a few Disney classics for the young crowd. Another great event at the Westin!

Castle McCulloch

I don’t get to spend every Saturday evening at a castle, so this was a real treat! I have to say that Castle McCulloch is one of the most unique and beautiful venues I’ve ever played. Nestled in the woods, it has everything you’d need to create an atmosphere of medieval romance – moat with drawbridge, coat of armor, candle lit walk ways. Not to mention the superb acoustics 😉

Here’s what I played:

Prelude ~ classical music per request, Air from Water Music/Allegro Majestoso/Ode to Joy

Seating of Grandparents & Mothers ~ Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton)

Bridesmaids ~ Prelude in C (Bach)

Bride ~ Ave Maria (Schubert)

Recessional ~ Feather Theme from Forrest Gump

For this wedding I also played for the Cocktail hour ~ Thinking Out Loud (Ed Sheeran), 1000 Years (Christina Perri), Game of Thrones Theme, A Whole New World were some of their requests.
