Rene is Amazing!

Rene was phenomenal to work with! She not only communicated with me in a timely manner but also helped plan the ceremony! During my rehearsal I was a little lost on the whole thing and she was able to help me get everyone organized and gave perfect direction. She was so amazingly helpful! Also, we had the unfortunate circumstances of our dinner being delayed by 40 minutes! So when I asked Rene to stay extra time during cocktail hour she immediately said “ yes whatever you need I’m here” which I can’t thank her enough for! She was a joy to work with and I can’t say thank you enough! Rene also learned a song we really wanted for our wedding which was beautiful and was beyond prepared with music for cocktail hour. I can say as the crazy Bride she definitely made my life 10000% easier. She is such a joy to work with and I would recommend her for any event! Thank you so much Rene!

The Musicians

Shortly before my wedding, our musician (my 12 year old cousin who is a very good trumpet player) had an accident and could not play. My Grandma contacted Songs of the Heart through WeddingWire. Rene Forsythe was easy to work with and got two other musicians to play at my wedding, even though it was so last minute. The other two musicians were George White and Tim Mallette. They were EXCELLENT and added so much to the wedding!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
