Their music and talent is unmatched. I highly recommend however, if you hire that you suggest they attend the rehearsal. At our ceremony after the last bridesmaid made the altar, the music never cued. The bride waited behind the wood door and a...s she approached the aisle the music didn't change. The quartet should've been waiting and been more alert about what was going on. The music should've changed immediately once the procession of bridesmaids was over. The bride walked out to the wrong music and the quartet realized halfway as she was down the aisle. The music stopped, dead air, then they played the correct song for the bride. For the money paid I expected them to be experts and have professional judgment in situations. I didn't think I would have to worry about this especially since I initiated contact right before my wedding to make sure everything was good and was never told anything specific.
For the money paid, the music was beautiful and they sure were skilled, however, the musical mistakes that were made were very noticeable to our guests unfortunately. It is every bride's dream to walk down with her father to a certain song. So sadly this moment in time was mistaken.
Whether it was the priests fault or not, I was never given ANY directive by the musicians. In fact, I emailed them days prior and asked them if they had any questions and if we were all set. Never did they ever give me any directions for the day such as " wait for the bridesmaids music to end". They stated in their review " we advise our brides". I was never given any wedding day instructions. I walked out once my maid of honor was down the aisle. I've never been to a wedding that the bridesmaid music keeps lingering, have you?
If the quartet felt they couldn't handle two weddings on one day or it would be best to meet to discuss, they should've suggested that. This is my first time being a bride and I expected them to be experts in this field. I shouldn't have to worry about these details and bottom line it should've been worked out with the priest. If he wasn't cueing, they should've followed the original plan to play the correct song or stand to see if I was walking down?
My older brother paid a considerable amount of money for the live musicians and it was devastating that he was so upset about the noticeable mistake. This is what every bride anxiously anticipates. The moment engrained in our minds, walking down the aisle with our fathers.
It being the day of my wedding I of course wanted to let this roll off my back as any bride would. Why let it ruin my special day and upset my brother who was extremely generous?
I am gracious and polite. I was kind to all my guests and vendors as every bride should be , a class act.
