The music was lovely and the musicians were prompt and professional. Definitely a great value. We highly recommend!
They were so amazing. Shannon is literally a dream. She is so dang nice. She is so accommodating. She is so reassuring. And then Madeline was AMAZING. She was the soloist at my ceremony and she was so sweet and the best. I highly recommend them.
We had a string trio and a pianist for our wedding ceremony music and wow- they were truly incredible. I've been to a few weddings with string instrumentalists, and the people at White River Music truly stand out. They played completely on key, there were no mistakes, and Shannon was extremely open to any questions we had. If you're unsure if string music is for you, go for it- the live music really made our wedding amazing. Even a month later, we keep hearing how beautiful the music was. Highly recommend!
Great artists that performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour- fantastic musicians! We had some unique music requests and they accommodated everything we requested. We had the pleasure of working with a violinist and pianist. Their timing during the ceremony was great and the guests really enjoyed them during the cocktail hour. Hiring live music is a wonderful addition to a wedding and White River Music definitely delivers wonderful instrumentals!
The musicians from White River Music were splendid! Numerous guests completed their selection of music played during cocktail hour and before the ceremony.
We had a string trio for our ceremony and we couldn't be happier! We had two special requests, one of which was a Backstreet Boys song, and they made sure that we got the wedding of our dreams! The music was absolutely beautiful
We used a cello and keyboard for our wedding ceremony. I had specific (and maybe unusual) songs in mind that I wanted performed and they did a fantastic job in creating/finding the music for the songs. They also played songs that I did not specifically request, which is great but I just wish I would have known beforehand so that I could let them know which songs I did not really like. The musicians themselves were okay but the coordinator was superior and very helpful in the planning process.
I used the violin and cello for the ceremony music. I had some special request for my husband and they made sure to make that happen. They were very flexible and they sounded amazing!
They did a great job with the string quartet for our wedding. There wasn’t really an option to meet in person though to go over everything which would have helped smooth out a few day-of hiccups ahead of time.
White River Music was awesome to work with for our wedding! They made it easy when preparing for the wedding itself and were great the day of as well - I would highly recommend them.
I highly recommend White River Music! We used them for our ceremony music at an outdoor venue in Indianapolis. They were great to work with leading up to the wedding, including agreeing to play a One Direction song on string instruments as a surprise to my junior bridesmaid (a huge One-D fan at the time) when she walked the aisle. They were professional throughout the process, on time the day of, and sounded great!
Our string duo did a wonderful job for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. We were so happy they were able to play string versions of contemporary songs instead of the classics. Rates were very reasonable.
White River Music was wonderful to work with and did a phenomenal job at our wedding!!!
White River Musicians did a fabulous job at our daughter's wedding. Our daughter submitted the list of music she wanted and they delivered. Very professional and played beautifully. We received so many compliments! Would highly recommend.
White River Music was amazing! The string trio did an excellent job before, during, and after our ceremony! I definitely recommend them!
Shannon recently played solo violin at my outdoor wedding, she was terrific! She was a professional in every aspect. From helping choose the prelude music to accommodating special requests, everything was perfect. Not to mention the quality of her music was outstanding! Many compliments from our guests on Shannon's talents! Highly Recommend.
I used White River Music (Shannon) for my ceremony and it was absolutely perfect. She played each song that I requested (some not in the repertoire) beautifully and it set the tone for a wonderful ceremony. WRM was great to work with even on a bit of a time crunch. I would definitely recommend WRM/Shannon to anyone looking for live ceremony music!
White River Musicians were amazing and produced beautiful music for our wedding ceremony. Shannon was easy to work with and she was very accommodating and helped us accomplish exactly what we wanted. Our singer sang "Redeemer" by Nicole C. Mullins and the WRM learned the music and it turned out beautifully. Thank You Shannon and WRM
Shannon at White River Music helped me pick our songs for our wedding ceremony, and gave us ideas for what should be played and when. She was also really flexible when I had to change the times for the musicians about a month out. She was very nice and easy to work with! The musicians were excellent and very professional.
White River Music was excellent to work with. They looked and sounded great and were so easy to work with. Highly recommended!
I really wanted a mandolin player for our wedding, and this was the only company I could find that had a variety of instrument types available. Once I booked, they provided me with music request form and I spoke to the musician who played at our wedding. He was very open to our requests and helpful with suggestions.
I had a wonderful experience working with White River Music. I planned my wedding from Vermont so communication was important, and I always received prompt responses to all my questions. They have a very nice repertoire of music to choose from, plus they were able to accommodate a special request with no extra charge.
I had a string trio play before and after my ceremony and the musicians sounded great, looked professional and were an all-around joy to have. The price was also reasonable and very competitive compared to other places I looked.
The music was absolutely beautiful and the violinist and cellist were so nice and polite. It was so easy to schedule and coordinate with them. They were also great about helping me pick music selections as I was rather ignorant when it came to classical music. I definitely recommend them!
White River Music provided us the music for our daughter's wedding this past Sat, 11/3/12. I could not recommend them more highly for the wonderful music they provided. I worked with them over the past several months planning and preparing. They were always so helpful and responsive all along the way!
We were very happy with White River even before they were at our wedding. We had requested a Beatles song that they don't usually play & they were able to put it together for us & make it happen. The day of the wedding the guitarist was very professional, played everything we requested, and sounded great!
They did an amazing job and sounded wondeful.
My husband and I were very pleased with the cello and violin duet for our ceremony! It was also easy to coordinate with them from the start, even though I was planning our Indianapolis wedding from Washington, DC. They provided a list of suggested pieces but were also open to arranging specific pieces we had in mind. By far, they were the easiest vendor to coordinate with of the entire wedding! I highly recommend their work.
