MELINA & DREW, PIANO TRIO

A TWIST ON TRADITION AT HEINZ CHAPEL

Melina and Drew’s ceremony at Heinz Chapel was shaped around Melina's processional song request: "Godspeed" by Frank Ocean. To bring that sound to life, we recommended a piano trio for the ceremony - adding piano alongside violin and cello to create the depth and texture that song request required.

The piano opened up new possibilities throughout the ceremony, allowing us to move from classical selections into contemporary favorites and to feature custom arrangements like Daylight by Taylor Swift and Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen during the prelude. The result was a ceremony that felt grounded in tradition, but expanded by a fuller, more expressive sound.
