Woodbridge, CT: Private Residence

Katya and Donari were married on a beautiful August day.  It was sunny outside, but the backyard in which they were married had just the right amount of shade.  From the first time we connected, I could tell that Katya was a classical music lover.  She was sure that she wanted to walk down the aisle to a movement from Rachmaninoff’s first string quartet, appropriately named “Romance.”  She was also sure she wanted to exit the ceremony with her new husband to the “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” by Tchaikovsky.

 Bridal Party & Bride’s Processional: Rachmaninoff – “Romance” from String Quartet No. 1

Recessional: Tchaikovsky – “Sleeping Beauty Waltz”

When I met Donari the day of their wedding, he said “You don’t know how much it means to us that you’re playing a piece by Rachmaninoff for the processional; he’s kind of my hero.”  That made me even more glad I could make a custom arrangement of that for their special day!

Monroe, Connecticut: The Waterview

Lauren and Jeff were married on a warm and sunny summer day. Their ceremony was held in the garden of the Waterview with a beautiful view of the water. When we spoke she was certain that she wanted to walk down the aisle to something classical and walk out to Michael Buble. It was a great mix of old and new.
