“amazingly talented duo”
Outdoor country weddings are a specialty. This intimate and refreshing music creates a warm and inviting atmosphere as guests arrive. Later, the music becomes lively and festive as guests move towards the dining area.

PRESENTER FEEDBACK:
“Kim and Jimbo,
What a wonderful surprise realizing you were providing the ceremonial music. At that point I felt comfortable knowing it would be perfect…and that it was. It stirred all of my emotions and couldn’t have been sweeter. Hearing such beautiful sounds took everything in me to keep from bursting into tears, while hoping not to trip down that long flight of stairs. I can’t tell you how many complimented you on the music which was so fitting for the bride and groom as well as the mountain backdrop. I am so sorry I did not think to get a recording, so as to remember. The day was such a blur, that I neglected to attack you with hugs and kisses for your wonderful effort, so please accept them electronically! Thank you for being part of the best day of my life. It was an honor.
Best,
Diana
