We knew we wanted something really special for our wedding music as my husband and I are both musicians ourselves. We were so thrilled to discover Carte Blanche at one of their sho...
ws in Brooklyn and knew we had to have them after seeing them live. They performed at our wedding last weekend and blew everyone away. We opted for the full 6 piece group and they played for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Their music was so beautiful and impressive- our guests were from many different parts of the world and couldn't get over their versatility of languages and styles. Kate is the band leader and the accordionist and she was a huge help in guiding us through our planning process- excellent communication and worked with our planner and our venue to make everything smooth. They arranged several songs for our ceremony and reception and the rest of the evening they matched the vibe of the party perfectly. I can't recommend them highly enough!!
