Maryland/DC Holiday Party Music Offer!

We don't mean to sound as eager as many holiday-bedecked stores post-Halloween, but we would love to offer anyone planning a holiday party in Maryland or DC a $100 discount if you choose us to provide your live classical music this season!  Happy *early* holidays and stay tuned for a winter wedding post soon!

Summer Wedding: Our string trio at the Inn at Brookeville Farms

Chesapeake Strings provided wedding ceremony music this summer in Brookeville, Maryland where we worked alongside Annapolis photographer Kate Pelura.  Here are some pictures Kate sent us from the wedding!  (Lucky for us, this was not one of those 100+ degree summer days!)

Our trio this day: Justin Gopal (violin), Elizabeth Polek (viola), and our friend Elizabeth M. (cello)

Christy Aspinwall

We'd like to recognize a local hair and make-up artist with this post!  Christy Aspinwall is based out of Laurel, MD but travels throughout the MD/DC area.  She styled Elizabeth's hair for our own photo shoot and Elizabeth had a fantastic experience with her.  Here are some pictures of Christy's recent stylings:

A note from Christy:

I have a lot to offer any bride and aim to rejuvenate and pamper you, your friends, and family.  I am available and willing to travel to your wedding location and my goal is to accentuate your natural beauty on your special day!

Just wanted to share a picture of Justin and Devree playing as a violin/cello duo at a wedding last weekend!  Here they are outside at the Gramercy Mansion, most likely during the actual ceremony:

Thanks to Amy P. for the photo!

I don't know what to do, I think I'm fallin' for you

Yes!  It's starting to feel like fall here in Maryland!  Autumn might just be my favorite time of year (until the holiday shopping season...)  Revision: autumn is my favorite time of the year to hold a wedding.  The leaves are turning, pumpkins are abundant, the air is crisp, and, as I mentioned two posts ago, Starbucks has pumpkin spice lattes.  Win. (If only all PSL's featured pumpkin latte art like this one I found at javaqueen.com!)
I love the colors of pumpkin and red wine for a fall wedding.  Here come the pictures:

Happy Fall!

I am so happy to be able to post some pictures from our amazing photoshoot with Allison Britton, Alexandria-based wedding photographer!  We had the best time taking these photos, and Allison was kind enough to shoot both in her studio and outside on the Potomac River.  Check out her website to see all of her gorgeous wedding, engagement, trash the dress and boudoir photos.
