Dori and Jim came out to provide music as a duo violinist and guitarist for my 20 year Air Force retirement ceremony. They did the most spectacular job with their rendition of the National Anthem and Air Force song, as well as providing background music before the ceremony commencement. They traveled all the way up to the Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst from Cape May and they were punctual and professional all throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their wedding, party, or any other kind of gathering a memorable and pleasurable occasion.

Details: General event / party • 51 - 75 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Other strings • Jazz / Blues • Other • Other

Amazing experience, we all loved it! It was a surprise for my wife for our 15th wedding anniversary. They worked with me for song selection and interacted with everyone in our family, it all felt so personal. The music was beautiful. None of us can stop talking about it! A truly special memory for all of us.

It was absolutely wonderful to work with Dori and Grace Note Strings for our wedding. We had many guests comment on how good the arrangement was for the music and we really felt it added to our ceremony. Working with Dori was not only a pleasure but it was incredibly easy. Grace Note Strings played our dream wedding song, "Your Hand in Mine" from Friday Night Lights and it was absolutely beautiful.

Dori was fantastic. She was incredibly organized and easy to work with. We already had other friends as our musicians and she fit right in with the group and even offered some really helpful advice on the church, since she had played there before and we were all from out of town. I would highly recommend her.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    If you are looking to enhance your wedding day, definitely consider using live music for a portion of the day. One thing you want to consider to keep things moving interesting and varied in your wedding guests experience for the day. One way you can do this is by varying the music genres from the beginning of their wedding experience to the end. Remember, music and laughter will be the soundtrack for your wedding day. One example is to use live string classical music for the ceremony, live musicians for jazzy standards or contemporary music for cocktail hour or say, a steel drum band for cocktail, and then a live band or DJ or iPod for the reception and dinnertime. Even consider a bagpiper for a splash of time in the music. All this depends on your budget, of course, but try to incorporate live music somewhere to enhance energy of your event and wedding guest's experience! There is nothing like the excitement of live music.
