Congratulations to Adam and Mary on their wedding and reception at Boulder Pointe Golf Club in Oxford. Known for their phenomenal professional event coordinators, Boulder Pointe staff will work with you from beginning to end to help ease your decision making and to ensure that every detail is perfect in every way. Becky Taddiken, Director of Sales and Events at Boulder Pointe, certainly made sure that everything was perfect for Adam and Mary.
We had the pleasure of playing for Mary and Adam’s reception and the couple chose romantic melodies like Unchained Melody, The Way You Look Tonight, Hallelujah and What a Wonderful World. It was an elegant night for the newlyweds and we send our best wishes as they begin married life together.
Few venues offer the the feeling of a tropical garden with the protection of an indoor climate. Located in Farmington Hills, Planterra Conservatory is a glass-enclosed, botanical garden venue. With European curved trusses, indoor koi ponds and a dramatic stone gabian archway, the Conservatory houses a wide collection of lush, exotic botanicals. Providing views of the stars on a clear night and soft, natural light during the day, Planterra Conservatory is a unique event space for weddings, corporate events and social functions.
Sarah and Matt shared their nuptials with many family and friends in this beautiful setting. We enjoyed speaking with several of their guests before the wedding and discovered that we had an audience of knowledgeable musicians in the house. It’s always a pleasure to perform for an appreciative audience! Sarah and Matt’s mothers walked in to the song “Here Comes the Sun” and lit their child’s individual candle that were later used in the unity candle portion of the ceremony. Sarah and her bridal party processed to “Can’t Help Falling In Love” with the ring bearer setting the tone for the ceremony. “Best Day of My Life” was a fitting recessional for the couple who clearly were enjoying the day.
Planterra always looks lush and beautiful. The candelabras and lit trees sparkled under the glass ceiling and created a magical effect. Tiffany, the Planterra wedding coordinator, is one of the best in the business. She’s always helpful and on top of every detail. It was a beautiful night for a lovely couple in an enchanting garden.
Of course the wedding venue had to be the Lafayette Grande for Lauren and Gregory! As the Head of Marketing at the Lafayette Grande, she understands the history and appreciates the charm and uniqueness of this stately building in downtown Pontiac. Built in 1923 as a Masonic Temple Lodge and purchased by Traveling Chef Catering in 1997, the intricate craftsmanship of fine details has been restored to its original grandeur.
Lauren and Greg’s wedding involved many friends and family. The large bridal party consisted of seven bridesmaids, two junior bridesmaids, four flower girls and three ring bearers. Marissah Lowry acted as wedding coordinator and helped us with cues. The ceremony was officiated by Chad Asman, Lauren cousin and Pastor at Heritage Church in Sterling Heights. The couple clearly love the movies and chose several movie themes to be played throughout their ceremony. Among them were “Harry Potter Selections”, “Game of Thrones” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
The marriage of this couple creates a beautiful new family and we wish them the very best!
We all want to be unique. It’s in our nature as human beings to be more then just another teacher, journalist, mother, wife, etc. We make our individuality known in a variety of ways – our wardrobe, hair color, careers, jewelry to name just a few. It’s no surprise that couples want a wedding that helps them stand apart from the crowd.
If you are looking for inspiration, consider using a STRING QUARTET and the wedding MUSIC as a means of making your wedding more then average. Music is a universally loved experience that conveys feelings and sets a mood. The music that you choose for your ceremony should be reflective of you and your fiance’s personalities and make a lasting impression on your guests. You no longer have to settle for the church organist/pianist and the traditional “Here Comes The Bride”. A string quartet offers endless options and the versatility for outside or inside venues. We don’t require amplification or special equipment. Just four chairs.
If this sounds like an idea you’d like to consider – come see us on Sunday, November 12th at The Inn at St. John’s Bridal Show in Plymouth. We’ll be there from 1:00 – 4:00 playing a variety of songs from our playlist of 700 titles. We’ll have our calendar to check availability and will even take requests. Come check us out and see why we have the received the following accolades.

Anthony and Abbie had a gorgeous autumn day for their wedding! St. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Church is a Catholic Parish located on Ryan Road in Sterling Heights. Fr. Libor Marek officiated the ceremony which was enhanced by the beautiful voices of Joe Long, church music director and organist, and Ashley Rozanski, a member of the bridal party. Ashley sang a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria and a duet with Mr. Long during the communion. They both gave a beautiful performances that heightened the spiritual beauty of Abbie and Anthony’s ceremony. It was an honor to be a part of their wedding day. Best wishes Anthony and Abbie!
It was a beautiful autumn day for the wedding of Alexandra and Michael. The bright sun lit up the stained glass windows of Holy Name Catholic Church in Birmingham. Andrea Solomon Wedding and Event Planner was on site to orchestrate the event which included Petey’s Donuts Truck from Brooklyn Michigan in the parking lot after the service to provide apple cider and donuts for the guests. Church music director Brandon Gauvin and venue wedding coordinator, Kim, provided awesome support with cues. Brandon sang the gorgeous Ave Maria during the ceremony. It’s always a pleasure to meet new friends in our business and we greatly enjoyed working with him.
Alexandra has a career in fashion and her unique wedding dress was clear evidence of her interest in that field while Michael’s career is in TV and Video Production. As Monseigneur John Zenz pointed out, they both know what “attracts and holds the eye.” 
The couple chose “Forever” by Chris Brown as the last song of the guests seating as it holds special meaning to them. They followed it up with “Sky Full of Stars” and “You Are the Best Thing”. It was clear that this fun loving couple were not nervous in the least, but enjoying every moment of their day.
A late summer day in the Pegasus garden seemed like the perfect setting for Emman and Mohamed to exchange their wedding vows. The couple enjoys touring historic homes and their affection for Meadowbrook was evident in their choice of the great estate as the site of their wedding along with the opportunity they provided for their guests to tour the mansion. This was a day for family and friends to celebrate this beautiful couple and it started with a welcome and introductions by Dr. Ali Dabaja followed by arrival of the cutest Quaran holder in a fully decorated wagon. The honorable Judge David Turfe officiated the ceremony which included a touching speech by Emman’s father and the spoken vows that each had written for the other. After playing for the ceremony, we moved to the terrace and played a variety of music for the cocktail hour. Both Steve from Studio 41 and Fairy Tale Production were present to capture the day and make lasting memories. While we did not stay for the reception, the smells from Byblos Banquet Hall were enticing and no doubt Heather Anne Bakery outdid themselves with the cake and sweets. Yasmeenas Flowers created lush arrangements for the bridal party and reception that stood out as truly unique, much like this unique couple and their enjoyment of history. It is our hope that like Meadowbrook, their love will stand the test of time. Best wishes to Emman and Mohamed.
Congratulations to Nick and Dee on their wedding celebration this past weekend. The Crystal Ballroom of the Masonic Temple in downtown Detroit was beautifully decorated. The couple was married earlier this year but chose to celebrate their nuptials with a cocktail hour and brunch for family and friends. Dee wore a beautiful floor length gown with a small train that conveyed the importance of the event while still maintaining a relaxed feeling for the day. With such a beautiful venue at hand, we witnessed many families making use of the beautiful setting for family and group photos.
Robert Navarre of Full Effect Productions was on hand to provide DJ service for the afternoon. Always gracious and helpful, Full Effect Productions has 10 straight years of 5 star ratings. We encourage you to check them out before hiring anyone else!
Graf’s Pastry of Farmington Hills did a beautiful job on the wedding cake. The couple performed the traditional cutting of the cake and we heard several guests commenting on how delicious it tasted. Nick took a moment to speak to his guests about his beautiful bride, Dee and their life together. It was a tender moment and one Dee and her family will cherish. 
Nick selected the music we played which included many selections of classical music along with some Beatles and Disney melodies. Our Harry Potter medley received compliments as did Build Me Up Buttercup. Best wishes to this lovely couple as they continue their journey together as husband and wife.
Congratulations to Kyle and Apurva on their wedding at the Diamond Center at Suburban Collection. Coordinator Rajul Pillai choreographed the day in such a way that it ran smoothly and looked elegantly luscious! Venue coordinator Bridget Polsinelli helped us immensely with the complexity of cues. We played a collection of contemporary 
music selected by the couple for both the seating of guests and during the ceremony. Kyle and his parents entered the decorated hall to Viva La Vida while Apurva and her parents walked to We Found Love by Rhianna. The room was beautifully appointed and following the ceremony the couple departed in a decorated carriage to the cheers and well wishes of their guests. Photographer Rosy and Shaun
along with Complete Video were on hand to capture all the tender moments. It was an elegant day for the couple and we thank them for the opportunity to be a part of their beautiful wedding day.
