Awesome experience with ceremony music (live string trio)

I loved working with 3rd coast live. From the very first interaction with Dorothy - they were responsive, warm and really friendly. I knew they would give all their efforts to make our wedding special. We hired them as a string trio for our ceremony music and played absolutely beautifully. They even composed an arrangement of a pop song for our recessional just for us which was really touching. They were always very responsive to my emails and communication was fast and easy.
The day of music was just perfect - once I heard the string trio playing the processional I started crying out of happiness :) I would recommend them highly to anyone getting married and have already recommended them to friends getting married next year.
Thank you Dorothy and 3rd coast live team!
