WeddingWire “Couples’ Choice” Award Winners!

//  by 

The best wedding bands awardThe Engagements, & Tribute Strings were awarded the coveted “Couples Choice Award” from WeddingWire for reviews that came in just before the pandemic. Many, many thanks to all of the clients who said nice things about us online for this!We continue to be amazed by all of the clients who choose us. Our clients choose us knowing each of our bands purposefully plays only those songs that can be delivered with sincerity. Heart and soul matters. Sincerity matters. That moment in the room, all together, matters to us. The song is important, but so is the energy of the band, the sensitivity to the moment, and the vibe in the room. We work closely with every client to sculpt a setlist that reflects the party they envision, and we strive for sincere, inspired moments throughout. It’s satisfying to look back at a year of unique moments, beginning with those outside-the-box clients who selected Lucy Music . Thank you!!!
