Highly recommend!

We booked A Touch of Woodwinds for our wedding cocktail hour and would do it again in a heartbeat! Tom was prompt and professional during the wedding planning process, always available to take song requests and discuss any details.

The music was beautiful and set the mood for our evening on a gorgeous day surrounded by fall foliage and our loved ones. We appreciated that the string quartet dressed in black-tie attire and put so much heart and joy into performing on our wedding day. Their pricing was also fair and fit within our budget. We highly recommend their services for your wedding or next special event!

Beautiful Ceremony Music

A Touch of Woodwinds was perfect for our wedding ceremony! We had a small wedding (due to COVID) at The Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing, NY. Tom and Janet were easy to work with and very accommodating with our music requests! I would definitely recommend them!

Beautiful Music

I cannot recommend Touch of Woodwinds for your wedding enough. We had a string trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was all so beautiful. What's also great about Tom & Touch of Woodwinds, they are very responsive and always willing to help, a dream to work with. We met with them once ahead of the wedding to go over song choices and ceremony order. Tom also came to our rehearsal the day before the wedding to make sure he was all buttoned up for the next day! The music is beautiful, and everyone loved them.

Wonderful Experience for Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Music

Working with Tom for our wedding was a great experience. He and Janet attended our rehearsal to make sure they were prepared for all of the logistics and timings, which was a huge help. They learned two new songs for us for the ceremony and had a great selection of modern options for our cocktail hour. Great experience and would recommend to anyone!

Excellent musicians

These professionals exceeded my expectations and did an outstanding job for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding both in the church before during and after the ceremony and later during the cocktail hour at the reception. They were open to trying new music selections I would highly recommend this exceptional musical ensemble.
Many Thanks,
Victoria Kremer

We loved having A Touch of Woodwinds for our special day, they were very professional and responsive throughout the entire process. I hired them not long before the actual wedding day, and they still did a custom song which meant the world to me. We loved having them, and they were a real hit with my guests. Thanks for everything guys!

My husband and I loved working with the team at A Touch of Woodwinds and would recommend them in a heart beat! My husband and I were originally going to use a church provided musician. I am sure they would have been lovely but about two weeks out from the wedding she was injured and could no longer play the ceremony. This is how we came across A Touch of Woodwinds and we could not be more happy that we did! Within a couple hours of reaching out to them they said they actually were available for our weekend, surprisingly! After talking to them about their services and competitive pricing we knew we wanted to lock them in quickly. The worked with us to ensure we got our questions answered and our contract signed and could hold the spot with them and could check off this stressful part of the process from our list. Tom came to our rehearsal which was wonderful. It gave us a chance to walk through the day with him and better understand his process as well. Though we had already provided him with the songs we wanted to be played my grandmother came with an additional request for a prelude song. Once he talked to us about it if it was okay to be played, he found a way to work it in last minute into the set list.

At the end of ceremony we received so many complements on the ceremony music. As stressful as the process before finding A Touch of Woodwinds was I'm so happy that we found the team and ended up working with them for this special day. We cannot thank the team enough!

Touch of Woodwinds was absolutely wonderful in providing the ceremony music for our wedding. From the initial consultation, Tom was extremely professional and friendly, and really listened to what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, they truly delivered! Tom even arrived hours early because we had our rehearsal the morning of the wedding, and he wanted to attend in order to ensure all would go smoothly. They played beautifully, and even learned a piece they did not play previously for my walk down the ailse. We had a flute, a chello, and a violin, which was a lovely trio; our guests loved it. They dressed in formal wear and looked smashing. Thank you, Tom and Touch of Woodwinds!
