Special request

Sometime couples have a very strong connection to a certain song. Perhaps, it was the song that played the first time they danced. Or maybe it is a song that reminds them of the time they decided to spend the rest of their lives together. A couple asked me to arrange the song from the movie Twilight for their bridal entrance. I love when people feel very strongly about a particular selection because it gives me an opportunity to tailor our playlist to their special day and handpick the songs that I know they will love. Here is the video of our group Harmony rehearsing Turning Page to make sure that the bride and groom love our soundtrack to their memories of the bride walking down the aisle.
