With a beautiful scenic waterfront backdrop and outdoor activities, The Reserve at Lake Keowee made for the perfect venue for Wendy and Tristain’s August wedding day!

Rhonda (mother of the bride) called us 15 months ago asking about booking a violinist. She had heard Daniel Jang’s YouTube videos and wanted that vibe for her daughter’s wedding ceremony at the Magnolia Venue in Pigeon Forge, TN. We discussed the differences between a solo violin, a plugged in a violin, an electric violin, a violin playing with tracks, and a violin playing with a DJ. All of these selections are slightly different as they have different price points and convey distinct vibes depending on the vision for one’s wedding day.

This wedding was simple, sweet, fun and relaxed. Guests were appreciative of the music. Virginia mountains are really beautiful, and it was fun to explore a new place. If you’re looking for a venue off the beaten bath a bit in Virginia, check out Silver Hearth Lodge. The views are some of the best we’ve seen!

Saturday was Nadine and Andy’s wedding at McGuire’s Millrace Farm in Murphy, NC. We had never played in Murphy before, but hopefully we will be back soon. It’s such a sweet place in the mountains of western North Carolina.
