Wedding Ceremonies We have extensive experience with music from many religious traditions. We also provide inspiring and uplifting music for non-religious ceremonies. The addition of Lyrica’s solo musicians, vocalist or small ensemble will help create the right mood in any setting to make your day unforgettable. We will help you choose the right sounds to create all the moods appropriate to your day; some moments are quiet and meditative, some moments are upbeat and joyful, some are grand and elegant. We will also integrate Lyrica’s music with services provided by musicians from your church or synagogue, or with songs performed by your family and friends. If musicians from your church or synagogue are part of the wedding, Lyrica musicians will coordinate closely with them. If a friend or relative wishes to sing a solo at your wedding, Lyrica can accompany him or her. For a Jewish wedding, we have created special musical arrangements — unique to Lyrica — of songs from the Jewish tradition. It is also appropriate to play elegant classical music and other songs of your choice at a Jewish wedding. We are a preferred ensemble for several rabbis in Greater Cincinnati. For a wedding Mass in a Roman Catholic church, we will work in cooperation with the priest or the parish music director. We are experienced church musicians, and we play Mass music throughout the week. We can provide the perfect music for the entire wedding Mass, including the vocal leadership and all the instrumental music. Or we can coordinate with other musicians from your church. If the liturgy will be lead by a musician on staff at the church, we will work closely with that professional to add special touches your wedding music. When you are choosing the musicians for your ceremony, Lyrica can offer expert guidance. We will take into account the type of ceremony you're dreaming of, the musical sounds that appeal to you most, your wedding site and your budget. Wedding Receptions Perhaps your reception calls for cool jazz, soothing and joyful classical music, or a dance band. Talk with us about the type of reception you are planning, and we will help you create the right musical mood. You might consider one type of music for cocktails, and another for dinner. Or you might choose one ensemble that plays a variety of music and works perfectly for the entire reception. Economical package pricing is available when you request Lyrica musicians for both the wedding ceremony and reception. To learn about our solo instruments, vocalists, bands and small ensembles, visit www.lyrica.org.

Suite Elegance was originally created from a trio of high school orchestra friends hailing from Lake Local Schools in Uniontown, Ohio. Originally part of a small select ensemble known as Suite Serenades, these 3 ladies began playing together in 1987 and grew up - both literally and musically - from their earliest starts. Their director fostered a disciplined passion for performing in intimate venues for parties, weddings, dinners, Christmas festivities, and dedications with many wonderful opportunities to perform together throughout the year. After graduation, all three friends went different directions with their lives. Two went on to college and one stayed behind to start a new life with her sweetheart. Degrees were had and marriages made and 1994 brought all three ladies back to town to resume where they had left off in their desire to perform locally. Suite Elegance was born in 1995, and it wasn't long before they were on their way to building a successful client base and gig calendar in the greater Akron-Canton area. The years since have seen many evolutions in this ensemble. As of 2012, two of the remaining three members still perform actively with the group, and Suite Elegance has grown to include flute, viola, two classical guitars, and several violins and cellos. Suite Elegance still prides itself in being as flexible as every occasion - and budget - dictates, as well as being professional in all aspects of musicianship and business. Each musician brings a lifetime of experiences to the group, and all have established successful lives and careers within this community beyond Suite Elegance. But the passion to share the music that unites us and colors every aspect of our lives still remains an unquenchable flame. While some of us are teachers, some of us are students; some are active in civic organizations, some of us are involved in family obligations; some of us have music degrees, and some of us do not. We all freelance professionally, but we find our greatest joy to be in performing together as Suite Elegance and giving our greatest performances to you, our prospective client.

GUITAR MUSIC FOR YOUR CINCINNATI WEDDING CEREMONY The sound of the classical guitar can provide the perfect atmosphere of elegance and intimacy for a wedding ceremony. I have been performing wedding ceremonies for more than 20 years, and I find it to be among the most rewarding and interesting work I do. Every wedding is as unique as the couple themselves, and I find the entire process of preparation for a wedding to be very satisfying. From working with the couple as they choose the ceremony music to the actual performance of the music on the couple's special day, I enjoy the whole process. It's always an honor to be able to help to create exactly the ambiance that the couple wants for their wedding. In addition to solo guitar, other instrumental combinations are available, such as: Duos consisting of: violin and guitar flute and guitar two guitars viola and guitar piano and guitar voice and guitar Trios consisting of: violin, cello and guitar flute, cello and guitar MY BIOGRAPHY: Robert Brown, originally from Springfield, Ohio, studied at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where he earned his Bachelor of Music degree, and then at Southern Methodist University, where he earned his Master of Music degree.
