Music to My Ears

Being that Mill Race Village is part of the historical society, that means that all of the buildings are also historic. Which means they're old. Which means the chapel doesn't have much of a sound system...rather, it doesn't have a sound system at all. So, I saw it as the perfect excuse to hire live musicians for the ceremony. I scoured the internet looking for local musicians at a decent price. We ended up going with Garza Violins and hired a violin duet to perform all of our ceremony music. They came in at a decent price and their music coordinator was a pleasure to work with.

As for music itself, that was a tougher decision. I didn't know much about classical music before I started wedding planning...but I sure do know! So what did we end up with? (Hint: when you have clicked on a link and are finished listening, just hit the back button to return to the post!)
