We can’t thank the incredible string trio—Travis, Kurt, and Caterina—enough for making our daughter’s New Hampshire wedding unforgettable! Despite relentless rain, their enchanting music felt like a magic spell, parting the clouds just in time for the bride’s aisle walk. The bride and groom were thrilled, as every song they chose was played with perfect precision, exactly as they dreamed. Guests raved about the cocktail hour’s elegant vibe, lifted by their soulful melodies. Your talent turned a rainy day into pure magic—thank you for making this milestone so special! We’re beyond grateful!
We hired a string trio to perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, MCMS did an amazing job. They accommodated an additional song during the ceremony and made sure that the music was top notch. All of our guests loved the classic touch to have music being played prior to the start of the ceremony and during cocktail hour. Thank you MCMS for making our wedding day so special.
We just wanted to reach out and say thank you to the both of you for everything on Sunday.
The strings were such a perfect fit for our ceremony and totally matched the feel of the venue that we were going for. We also really appreciate you being so flexible with the weather (which honestly, we thought make the ceremony more memorable.) Thank you again for the suggestion for the processional—we loved it! We’re also so appreciative of you being able to kind of run with the vibe that we were looking for for the cocktail hour - we weren’t around for much of it due to photos but from what we could hear from afar it was exactly the vibe we were shooting for.
Thanks again for everything.
