On Sunday afternoon The String Group was excited to perform at a beautiful wedding held at the Winterbourne Estate located in Orange Park, Florida. The atmosphere was pleasant and the slight breeze off the St John's River made this wedding one of the most lovely outdoor weddings of the year. The bride was beautiful and radiant.


Our String Trio performed a prelude of assorted classical music, followed by Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring for the Seating of the Mothers and Grandmothers. The Bridal Party entered to Canon in D by Pachelbel, while the Bride came in to the familiar strains of The Bridal March. After the moving ceremony the Bridal Party and Family left to Mendelssohn's Wedding March

Laura (violin), Jody (viola) and Anna (cello) performed at the wedding while David was The String Group's on-site music coordinator.


Thanks to the work of the Winterbourne's Wedding Coordinator; the music provided by our trio flowed well with the ceremony. Our music coordinator was able to work with her to cue our musicians and ensure that all of the music was placed at the appropriate times during the ceremony.

It was a pleasure to be a part of this sweet occasion, and we wish the bride and groom all the best!

Bridal Show

Today we were at the Premier Bridal Show. Since our first show in February 2008, the Premier Bridal Show has proven to be a valuable way for us to connect with local brides.

We featured our harp/violin duet and trio. Priscilla and Breana played harp and violin. Then for the trio, Breana (violin), Ashlee (violin) and Liz Oatman (Cello). Jody (viola) played in a trio at the Winterbourne Inn this afternoon for Wedding Ceremony and was not able to join us at the show until later.

The booths at the show are always amazing; we enjoy walking around and seeing how the various vendors have decorated their booths. As musicians we have always had the goal that our live musical performances be the primary attraction to our booth. However, at each show we are slowly adding different elements of decor to our booth.

We enjoyed meeting all the brides at the show and look forward to working with them to provide music for their upcoming weddings.

In 2007, Priscilla Lee (Harp), Breana Mock (violin), Jody Champagne (viola) and myself, Ashlee Davis (Violin) came together to form The String Group.



As friends and musicians we have been performing at weddings and events for over 10 years. The name 'The String Group' came along almost as a default; that is what people would call us no matter what name we picked. We also felt it was a professional name that would be easily remembered.

Along with our musical services, we offer and promote our music coordination service for events. The String Group places great value and attention on building trust and cultivating a relationship with our customers. This is accomplished through the detailed and dedicated services of a Music Coordinator. Music Coordinators help choose the perfect ensemble size and musical selections to compliment any event. They are always there working to make the often challenging task of bringing the music together with an event both easy and memorable!

The day of a wedding, The String Group provides an on-site Music Coordinator whose sole job is to ensure clear communication between the event coordinator and the musicians during the event. We have been praised for our excellent service in this area, as it removes the difficulty of communicating with multiple musicians while coordinating a wedding ceremony
