“Dear Sarah - I just wanted to thank you again for playing our wedding so beautifully. I didn't get to enjoy your playing as much as I would have liked as I was either running around or sequestered. Our wedding went off perfectly and the quartet was a big part of that. Also thank
you for your professionalism through the whole process (and the thank you note waiting when we returned from our honeymoon). I'm not sure how long Symphony Sounds has been in business, but I know you will be very successful if you treat every event as you treated our wedding. I also have to admit that I loved dealing with a vendor who is easy to reach and quick on e-mail (you were the only one).

"Hi Sarah, Ben and I just returned yesterday from our honeymoon and I wanted to write to thank you for all of your help with our wedding ceremony. Ben and I are both so pleased with how the ceremony went -- and were especially happy with the music. It was so lovely. The musicians were talented, behaved with decorum, played the selections that we requested, and successfully smoothed over any "rough patches" of the ceremony. Your and their work is one of the highlights of the wedding! Thanks again for everything, Sarah. If you ever need a recommendation, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would unquestionably recommend you to any potential client, given my overwhelmingly positive experience with you!"
