This was our first appearance at Piazza in the Village, and I have only good things to say about the venue, and especially the staff, who were simply excellent at ceremony day communication and organization. The wedding chapel has excellent acoustics for live music, as well as a high-quality sound system.

I can’t thank you guys enough for the beautiful music at our wedding ceremony last weekend at The Piazza. We had so many people compliment how wonderful you guys were and how intimate it made our ceremony. I really appreciate your talent and ability to produce beautiful music, and I will be recommending you to my friends that are getting married in the future. Thank you for listening to exactly what we wanted and for carrying our wishes out. It couldn’t have gone any better than it did. Again, thank you so much! -Philip and Allison
