Dear Tony, We would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful music on our wedding of April 30, 2005. Everything was perfect- just as we had imagined. A big part of this is due to the quality and tone of the music played. It set such an emotional tone for our wedding, which many guests said was one of the best they had attended. Thank you so much. My walk down the aisle was everything I dreamed of accompanied by the Canon in D. You helped make our day truly memorable and different. Thanks, Leanne and Andrew

Dear Shrewsbury String Quartet, Thank you for providing the beautiful music at our church service. Everyone enjoyed your quartet. I only recently got to hear the lovely chamber music on my wedding DVD. It was so warm and beautiful. Thanks, Heather and Mark

Dear Tony and Fellow Musicians, Thank you for an amazing performance at our wedding ceremony on June 4, at The Church of the Incarnation. To be honest with you guys, we were a little skeptical as to how you were going to pull everything together without even rehearsing with the singer and the priest. But Wow…everything went smoothly. It was perfect! We didn’t think there was a dry eye in the church after you guys were done with the Ave Maria. Most importantly, when we were looking for vendors, aside from having experience in their venue, we wanted to work with nice people who weren’t pushy and sneaky. Tony you were very easy to work with while planning this wedding. We have received many compliments thanks to your professional service. We will definitely recommend your services to all of our friends and family. You’ll probably even hear from us in the future! Sincerely, John and Christina
