"Here's a shout out to your kick ass performance at our wedding on Sept. 12th! Our guests were blown away by your talent, and I've been forwarding your website to all who have been asking. You learned "Ode to a Butterfly" and "Silent in the Morning" to perfection, and we couldn't have been more elated to boogy down the aisle with you! We'll be sure to check out your future gigs! You certainly gained about 150 fans on Sept. 12 - and we wish you all the very best for the future!"
- Rachael & Steve

"We thoroughly enjoyed having you guys play at our wedding. You did an exceptional job, from setting the perfect tone on the beach to keeping guests grooving 'til the end! Thank you for helping our wedding be a smashing success. You rock!"
- Courtney & Simon

"We've been to a lot of weddings, but we're glad that ours was the one where the guests cried for an encore from the band. Really fantastic job. Steady stream of raves from friends and family, old and young, since we've been back. We're totally blown away that you learned so many songs for us and that they all sounded so great. (Loved the Rosalita, especially, though we also loved the Wilco stuff and the Waits number and Yellow, and pretty much everything else.) We hope this goes w/out saying, but if you ever need someone to vouch for your talent, professionalism, and diligence, please let us know."
- Josh & Roz

SELECTED summaries of past events:

10/29/05 - John and Hyensook's Wedding at Parsippany Sheraton, NJ - We performed classic instrumental jazz at the cocktail hour in duo and trio formats. For the reception, the couple had requested a strong Irish feel, so in addition to our standard set, we included traditional Irish fiddle sets, waltzes and popular songs. Instrumental newgras and Irish music was played during dinner in duo and trio configuration.

9/12/04 - Dobson/Hollingsworth Wedding at Troutbeck Inn, Amenia, NY - We performed the ceremony and cocktail hour for a beautiful outdoor autumn wedding. Our mellow, jazz-tinged instrumentals set the mood perfectly as guest took their seats. Instrumental versions of the bride and groom’s favorite songs greeted each as they walked up the aisle. For the cocktail hour, we played traditional bluegrass, as the client had requested lively cocktail music.

10/10/04 - Albertson/Stahl Wedding at Cranwell Resort, Lenox, MA - We performed classical string quartets of Bach, Respighi, Handel, and Corelli for the ceremony (all members of Astrograss are classically trained). We also provided music for the Hora ceremony and the first dance, as well as 15 special requests, all of which were part of a 3-set performance for the 4-hour dinner and reception.

10/16/04 - Lori and Wes’ Rehearsal Wedding Dinner - Media, PA - For this hoe-down-themed pre-wedding party, we kept the guests - many of whom were previously unfamiliar with bluegrass - dancing into the wee hours.
