We were thrilled with Ruby and the other two wonderful musicians that played during our cocktail hour and during our wedding ceremony. I had always dreamed about having musicians play our favorite music during the cocktail hour and a have the song that I wanted and not your standard wedding music for my walk down the aisle Blue Sands Music made our event special and personal and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Music truly makes your event magical, special, and successful. You could not find a better group of muscians to ensure your day or event is amazing. Thank you for making Our Day Perfect!!

I was extremely impressed with the quality and professionalism this group provided for me and my Husband at our wedding! My mom is a pianist and has played in many weddings throughout her career. I wanted her to play with a cello as i walked down the isle. Ruby and the rest of the group were able to grant my wishes and it was magical! They played a wide variety of music including some contemporary and some classical. I would most definitely recommend them to any bride to be looking for a quartet!

This is not the first time I have had the pleasure of working with Blue Sands music and it certainly won't be the last. Ruby and the entire team are fantastic to work with. They are flexible and willing to accommodate any request. They performed every song requested by the bride and exceeded all expectations. You won't regret including them in your special day or event!

I was so pleased to meet Ruby at a Bridal Show and what a great experience I had with Blue Sands. They were so easy to work with! They had great song suggestions and played songs I requested. They followed through and showed up on time to everything and I did not have to worry about them at all - which is such a bonus to a bride planning her own wedding!

I was surprised when I asked them to play a song that they didn't already know and they learned it for my wedding!

Ruby and the rest of the Blue Sands Music group were completely amazing as musicians for our wedding. They provided really great quality music at a reasonable rate (and offered a student discount -- very kind), and worked with us beforehand on song choice and overall styling of the music. My mother and I are both musicians (violinists) and so having good classical music at my wedding was really important to us. Ruby listened to our thoughts, made the time to meet me and my now-husband in person, and came up with a variety of songs for the prelude that fit the sound of the select songs we picked for the processional/recessionals. I'm very very thankful for all the hard work they put into this special occasion, and would absolutely highly recommend them all for any kind of music at your next event!

They were wonderful! Ruby was exceptional with the planning of the music and so flexible when I would change my mind. Also, they agreed to accompany me on the piano! The upbeat music for the cocktail hour was delightful! All in all , I could not have asked for anything more. I highly reccomend Blue Sands to everyone for special events.
