Flute and Guitar Wedding Ceremony Music at the Vail Wedding Island in Vail, Colorado

The second half of September is my favorite time of year in Vail, Colorado, with the cooler weather, warm sunshine, and spectacular autumn foliage. This year was no exception, and this Denver couple timed their wedding day perfectly for dazzling peak fall color!

Our flute and guitar duo played a song list selected by the bride and groom, and we loved how a few of the guests and other vendors engaged with the music with small bursts of singing and dancing!

During the ceremony, the couple did a symbolic golf shot into the the lake, while we accompanied the moment by playing “What a Wonderful World”. The good cheer of the guests, our music and the spectacular setting were a very poignant oasis in the midst of crazy times.

From the Bride:

”Magical Touch for our Wedding Ceremony”

“Christen and Alex provided flute and strings music for our wedding ceremony and it was wonderful. Christen was extremely responsive from the first time we reached out and worked with us to pick our perfect list of songs. It added a truly magical touch to our wedding ceremony and I highly recommend.”
