They were married on the back veranda of the beautiful Black Barn Winery in Rives Junction, Michigan. We have another three weddings coming up there this year and I can’t wait to go back. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and the staff was fantastic. We sat right in the corner of the wrap around porch and were able to play out as they were getting married just below us.
We had White Pines assemble a string trio for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and absolutely LOVED them!! We were having such a hard time finding the exact combination of instruments that we desperately wanted- a violin, a guitar, and a cello- until we came across White Pines. They were able to provide exactly what we wanted, were very affordable, had a huge repertoire of songs, and even offered to learn new songs that we requested for a nominal fee. It almost seemed too good to be true! Michelle Kulwicki was our primary contact throughout the months leading up to our event, and I cannot say enough great things about her. She was extremely responsive, kind, professional, and accommodating all the way through! Our trio was made up of Michelle (cellist), Daniel Winnick (violinist), and Ryan McCulloch (guitarist), and we could not have asked for a more talented ensemble. Their beautiful rendition of "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins had me choked up during the wedding party processional, and their harmonies in "Can't Help Falling in Love" provided the perfect accompaniment to my walk down the aisle with my parents. They did a fantastic job with the 1990s alternative songs we had asked them to play for our cocktail hour. They blended seamlessly into the background while also creating such a fun, relaxing atmosphere as the guests were mingling on the patio. The music this trio played was a huge hit among the guests, and their services were truly top notch!
