This past Saturday we played a beautiful if not adventurous wedding at the Swan House at the Atlanta History Center.

The Swan House is such an incredible backdrop for a wedding!

We got to play the ceremony music with a great trumpet player, Kevin Lyons. How fun!

Here's where things got a bit crazy. Right as the ceremony was ending, the sky turned black and thunder came out of nowhere. A very severe storm popped up out of nowhere and everyone started running en mass. The cocktail hour had been moved into the History Center because of the rain, and we had to pack up our instruments and gear as fast as we could so nothing would get rained on. Everyone was crammed together, trying to run across the bridge to the History Center, meanwhile trees were falling down all across Buckhead, and West Paces Ferry was particularly hard hit!

Everyone made it inside the History Center mere SECONDS before the storm really hit. We were so thankful for that!

And of course, the ballroom was stunning as always! :)

We played some fun tunes for the cocktail hour, and then it was time to head home!

Many of the roads leading out of Buckhead were blocked by downed trees and power lines, but thankfully we all made it home safely!

All in all, it was an adventurous day, but the wedding turned out absolutely beautiful!

This past weekend, we played the most amazing wedding at Barnsley Gardens. The weather was absolutely PERFECT! And what a gorgeous setting!!

We got to play the ceremony music with Paul Taylor Smith (seriously, check him out on Spotify,) who is not only a great musician and an incredible singer, but a super fun person! We had the fun-est time playing (and cutting up 🙈) together!

Isn't this venue just breathtaking? Days like this make us feel extra blessed!

Last weekend Julienne and I had the pleasure of playing at North Point Community Church at all 3 of their services! We got to play with just a grand piano and really great vocalists. We love playing with the standard "band" setting (full band of guitars, drums, lots of exciting lights, etc!) but sometimes it's really fun to strip it way down and play in an acoustic setting. We played a song called "Out of Hiding," by Bethel Music. The lyrics are really raw and a bit emotionally intense, so playing it as an acoustic set was so fun.

So fun to get to play in a quartet with some other awesome string gals!

Here's a shot from one of the songs we weren't playing on. The singers and musicians at North Point are always so great!

Also, let's just talk about the food. Oh my, the food. Is there anything more thoughtful than making sure your musicians are well fed? :)

Thanks so much for having us, North Point!!
