"I cannot say enough great things about Kate. She was incredibly responsive, very professional, and a delight to talk to and work with. We were originally thinking of doing traditional orchestral pieces, until we realized the wonderful array of modern music her ensemble could play. She worked with us to put together a prelude that truly represented us on our wedding day, and also payed homage to each of our parents. The music was beautiful and certainly provoked a lot of emotion from all in attendance. Thank you for making our day so great! I would recommend Kate and Melodious Strings to anyone!" |
