On Sunday, May 27th, we performed for a Huge Indian-American Wedding in Southern Connecticut!

The event location, Saltwater Farm Vineyards, is a coastal New England Winery which is the former site of a retired airport!

For the Ceremony, we performed as a Piano-Violin-Cello Trio for the Outdoor Event.  Music included Beyonce’s “Halo” (Instrumental Trio Version) for the Bridal Party Processional followed by “Canon in D” for the Bride.  The Recessional was “Hornpipe” from Handel’s “Water Music Suite”.

For the Cocktail Hour, we performed as a Piano-Sax-Bass Trio for the Outdoor Cocktail Hour.  During this time, we performed background jazz music featuring Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, & Michael Buble Standards.

The Reception took place in the retired Airport Terminal (now the Winery’s Restaurant).  We introduced the enormous wedding party (correctly-pronouncing all of the Indian & American names :) !

Dinner music was low-key, the speeches were memorable, and the Dancing was Over-The-Top (as you can see from the picture above).  Dance Music included Bollywood & Bhangra, Rock and Roll, Hip-Hop, and Top 40 Hits.  After the wedding, the group stood around for another 20 minutes of impromptu a-Capella sing-a-longs!
