Dori and Jim came out to provide music as a duo violinist and guitarist for my 20 year Air Force retirement ceremony. They did the most spectacular job with their rendition of the National Anthem and Air Force song, as well as providing background music before the ceremony commencement. They traveled all the way up to the Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst from Cape May and they were punctual and professional all throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their wedding, party, or any other kind of gathering a memorable and pleasurable occasion.

Amazing experience, we all loved it! It was a surprise for my wife for our 15th wedding anniversary. They worked with me for song selection and interacted with everyone in our family, it all felt so personal. The music was beautiful. None of us can stop talking about it! A truly special memory for all of us.
The ladies at the tea loved the music and festivities. Children and adults were included in the entertainment!
Wonderful to work with and very talented.
Dori was fantastic. She was incredibly organized and easy to work with. We already had other friends as our musicians and she fit right in with the group and even offered some really helpful advice on the church, since she had played there before and we were all from out of town. I would highly recommend her.
I used Dori's services for my March 27, 2015 wedding ceremony. Dori, kept in touch with me throughout the months leading up to the ceremony. She was very professional and very understanding concerning my budget. If I should ever need her services again, she would be my go to person. Thank you Dori, so much for all your hard work and dedication to making my wedding come true.
It was absolutely wonderful to work with Dori and Grace Note Strings for our wedding. We had many guests comment on how good the arrangement was for the music and we really felt it added to our ceremony. Working with Dori was not only a pleasure but it was incredibly easy. Grace Note Strings played our dream wedding song, "Your Hand in Mine" from Friday Night Lights and it was absolutely beautiful.
Dori was professional, personable, and talented! She made our night memorable! She was incredible! I would definitely recommend her services!
