Two hours of highway separated her farm in Carlisle from his life in Philadelphia. Four years later: a full sanctuary in Carlisle, and a write-up in The New York Times. 🤍
Maia & Rich were married July 25 at St. John's Episcopal Church, and the Times featured their story in its Mini-Vows column under the headline "Country Woman Meets City Man."
We were honored to build their ceremony music — a string quartet, organ, and vocalists, including a custom arrangement of "Con te Partirò" commissioned specifically for their day. There's nothing quite like a piece of music written for one couple, played once, in a room full of the people who love them.
From Maia afterward: "We received so many compliments from guests saying that the ceremony music was amazing and the experience in the sanctuary was just everything that I imagined it could be."
Congratulations to you both. 🥂
