AMANDA & CORY, QUARTET
WINTER GLAM AT BELLA AMORE ENCHANTED ACRES
Amanda reached out early in the planning process with a clear musical vision and remarkable attention to detail, down to the exact moment she wanted to begin walking. We worked closely with her to craft a string quartet arrangement of Nothing Else Matters that hit that timing perfectly, building to the guitar solo bridge as she made her entrance surrounded by white florals and sparkling crystal accents. To match Amanda and Cory’s rock-and-glam energy, we followed the ceremony with Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance for the recessional and start of cocktail hour, a choice they immediately loved. The ceremony itself was framed by Once Upon a December as the final prelude piece, drawing guests’ attention just before the wedding party lined up, and the fun carried into cocktail hour as guests engaged with the music and tried to guess each song as we played.
The strings playing for the ceremony elevated the vibe.
