Michele is without a doubt a true professional, and she really cares about her clients. I was shocked to see that she kept in constant contact with me from the time I initially contacted her until the very day of my wedding. My wedding was outdoors, I had a beautiful summer day and the second I went outside to start my walk I could hear my song playing, it was like something out of a fairy tale, it was without a doubt all that I dreamed for my wedding day. The song selections were perfect, they played before during and after my ceremony and everyone raved about about not only how good they were but how perfect the song selections were. I cannot wait to have another event just so we can invite them, although I fear that with their popularity, that I would have to book them a very far time in advance!!! Do yourself a favor, if you need a classical musician look no further!
Response from Bridal Music:
Fine Greetings to Our Beautiful Bride, Sue! Thank you so very much for your kind words. We absolutely loved being a part of your stunning Wedding Ceremony celebration! It has been a pleasure and we would love to perform for you again, Sue! All the best to you and your Handsome Husband! Smiles... Most Sincerely, Michele, Flutist/Artistic Director, www.BridalMusic.org
Any event should be honored to have such tallent playing for their special day. As a photographer its a wonderful thing to have such sweet sounds playing live in any background, totally worth the booking, you wont be sorry. As for Flora Duo, I know their just as honored to perform for you.
I must say that Michele and her partner Francine of Flora Duo added the right tone of classical elegance to the recent ceremony that I officiated. They coordinated all of their selections with the design and flow of the ceremony, seamlessly. It was quite memorable to hear then in the background as various segments of the ceremony were performed. It's evident they take pride in their performance and talents. Brides considering a classical element in the wedding should consider Michele and Francine. You will be very pleased.
I had the good fortune to Officiate a wedding ceremony this past December, where the bride had also hired Flora Duo to provide her ceremony music.
They were outstanding! They played beautiful music while the guests were being seated, then during the bridal processional, after the ring exchange, and during the recessional.
Live classical music accompanying the Bride, as she takes her walk down the aisle, absolutely adds that final, elegant touch!
They were professional, and their talent was amazing. Several of the guests came up to them after the ceremony and commented how beautiful and moving their music was.
I recommend Flora Duo and hope to work with them again very soon.
