The String Group provided a harp and violin duet for a wedding ceremony this past weekend at St. Anastasia Catholic Church near St. Augustine. The couple requested a new arrangement for the bride to enter to, Dream Come True by the group Frozen Ghost (not your usual bridal processional). Our arranger and violinist, Hannah was able to arrange this special piece for harp and violin. Hannah and Stephanie performed this Bridal Processional with stunning results; it was absolutely beautiful and provided the unique touch that this couple was longing for! Stephanie also performed a harp solo during communion, Morning Has Broken.
At the last moment Hannah was called upon to play an accompaniment part to a song that the priest was to sing during the ceremony. During the Preists' Solo, Hannah was able to improvise harmonies that went beautifully with this solo. Guests sent their compliments to Hannah for adding this beautifully touch to the ceremony! The special music performed by both Hannah and Stephanie added so much to this lovely ceremony, Thank you Stephanie and Hannah!
