"We had the wonderful Dolce Strings string duo perform during our church ceremony and during cocktail hour at our reception. They were so communicative in the run up to our day, with the logistics and providing their extensive repertoire in advance for us to choose songs from, even sending me a recording of my aisle song in advance. Their music really was the perfect soundtrack to our day and exactly what I hoped for! "
