After a few of these gigs I realized that there lacked a consistent standard in both performance and interaction with the client. As for the earliest name of our group, An Elegant Touch of Strings, my advertising consultant asked me what we were all about\u2026and that led me to these words! I\u2019ve since introduced a new name, Wine Country Strings. No huge reasons, I just like the sound, we do perform quite a bit in various vineyard venues, and I think it\u2019s easier to remember but same performers and service as we\u2019re known for through the years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59314\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/bay-area-wedding-music-string-bridal-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1585\" height=\"1152\"><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What does your musical group offer for weddings? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">We can perform any part of the wedding from ceremony through reception as a soloist, duo, trio, quartet and even more musicians as desired for the music of our clients\u2019 dreams.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What\u2019s been your favorite experience as a <\/span><\/strong><strong><span class=\"s1\">musician? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most recently I put together a 12 piece orchestra at the Levi Stadium, Santa Clara, California, where the client rented out the entire stadium for a proposal to his girlfriend! We were hidden behind a grassy partition until the big moment and then stepped out and began romantic music. She said Yes&#8230;whew! Afterward we performed for their clients. It was truly memorable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59312\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/JANETS-Mt.Terrace-Winery-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"976\" height=\"715\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What do you love most about working with weddings? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">I love the compliments that come from all ages. My most memorable is from a boy around 6 years old who caught up with me as I was heading out. After a very sincere compliment he handed me a dollar bill. It was so many years ago and still it brings a smile when I think of it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-59313\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/string-quartet-bay-area-wedding-music-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1532\" height=\"1152\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">What piece of advice would you give brides and grooms to ensure they find a band\/group\/musician who will make certain their big day goes off without a hitch?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The venue and wedding consultant that the bride and groom are using will know the musicians doing the best jobs and which include showing up on time to be set up and ready to take final instructions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>How do you think an app like <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\">Joy<\/a> can help make weddings better?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The layout of Joy is so simple to maneuver and quickly informative.
