~~ Weddings ~~  
 
We love weddings -- we just had one ourselves! Let us set just the right fun, loving, relaxed, beautiful atmosphere with live music.

For the ceremony we'll play lovely, pretty instrumentals, traditional waltzes and Irish airs. We can sing love songs, you can request favorites, or you can even commission us to write a song especially for the occasion.


And how about something really fun and different for your reception or rehearsal dinner --

a Contra Dance!

The Old-Time Sole-Music Barndance Stringband plays toe-tapping, fun fiddle and banjo music for Contra dances, Square dances, any kind of traditional barn dance for any size group, all ages, all abilities, no experience necessary.

A wedding is a special, wonderful celebration. We should know... we just got married! You want your wedding to be a reflection of who you two are, as a couple.... and you just ain't "Wind Beneath My wings" or the Chicken Dance.... not that there's anything wrong with that! But if you prefer live music to dj's, and fiddles to, um, dj's, think about hiring us for your wedding.

Call Geff or Masha at 209-296-7706 or Email Us, and we'll make sure you have a fun, memorable, worry-free celebration.
