Here we are at a holiday party with the theme of the tv show, Mad Men. Thus the black suits and long black ties and Toni sporting a '60's updo. Tunes heard at that party, besides the upbeat Christmas songs done with more flair than taste, included Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face". And yes, that was "Billie Jean" heard above the exuberance of the party.

November 14, 2010 wedding

On November 14, 2010 Kelly and Keith were married at Scarritt Bennett's Wightman Chapel. They had a feast of music with congregational singing, a small choir and, of course, Silver Strings. Kelly and Keith wanted to process to a Dave Barnes song "To Build A Home" and then recess to a tune by Muse called "Starlight", which we were happy to arrange for them. I'll let Kelly speak for us with an excerpt from an email after their honeymoon:

"I wanted to thank you for all that you did for us. The music was simply beautiful. The only time I cried the entire ceremony was the moment I heard the strings start our processional music. It was so beautiful and it represented the culmination of all my dreams. Thank you for making that possible."

On June 26, 2010 Silver Strings had the honor of playing another wedding at CJs Off the Square. The weather cooperated by not raining on the beautiful ceremony in the gazebo. Here are pictures of the trio from that day.
