Ballantyne Hotel Wedding Music in Charlotte, NC
Camryn and Justus’s wedding at Ballantyne Hotel in Charlotte, NC, was held on a sunny March day where Deans’ Duets’ string trio played for the couple’s outdoor ceremony and indoor cocktail hour. Camryn and Justus had approximately 220 guests at Ballantyne Hotel with their string trio comprised of two violins and a cello. With the couple’s black tie wedding theme, the musicians wore formal black and tuxedos for a sleek professional look. We loved working with Claudia Long (Venue Contact), Alexandra Stephens (Coordinator), and Camryn (Bride) during the music planning process! During planning, not only did we discuss music selections, but also placement of the musicians for ceremony and cocktail hour. With the gorgeous weather, the outdoor ceremony began at 5pm where Camryn and Justus said “I do!”
