our debut at “gather mckinney”

Four Strings provided a string quartet for the wedding of Jessica Ray and James Benton, held on 9 March 2013 at GATHER in McKinney, TX. Music for the ceremony was traditional. This was our first time to perform in GATHER, a small wedding and reception venue in revitalized downtown McKinney. Though capable of holding the quartet, weddings at GATHER could easily be served by a string trio or duo.
