SandandStrings was by far the least stressful element of an otherwise highly stressful
time for me and my family.  With all the preparations, to-do lists, vendor juggling that
went on before my wedding, Michelle Adams was a welcome reprieve. I was
never worried about my violinist. I felt like I was in great hands. Michelle was
quick to respond, extremely reliable, easy to deal with, prompt, and very professional.
She made the process very easy and simple. She did a beautiful job at the rehearsal
and the ceremony.  Standing at the alter on the big day, it was nice to look over at Michelle
and receive a very warm smile. Thank you!  I had the most wonderful time!  And thanks again for everything you did!  You gave a beautiful performance! ~ Keri H

As mother of the bride,  I held my breath as I topped the stairway leading to my daughter’s wedding on a Destin beach.  I was delighted when I could hear Michelle’s beautiful songs being carried so beautifully across the sand.  Everyone has commented on how well she played and how appropriate a violin was at a beach ceremony.  Many thanks to you; Caroline and Corey remember you and your music fondly. ~ Patsy R.H.

Thank you Michelle for everything!!  We had crazy weather and wind as well, and Michelle played through it all! Her music is so beautiful and made our ceremony very special and memorable.  She is very easy to work with and made us feel completely comfortable about everything.  We will definitely recommend her to others for their big day! ~ Courtney R.

Michelle truly made our wedding!  We had crazy weather with 30 mph winds and pending rain, and she definitely put me at ease.  She even told us, that if needed, her husband would hold an umbrella over her so she could play for us.  Talk about going to the extreme to make our day just what we dreamed of!   In the end, the rain held off, and the music was beautiful!  I would definitely recommend Sand and Strings to anyone!  Michelle was very helpful to me when I was making my music selections (she has a large array of songs to choose from too!) and always responded friendly and promptly to any questions I had.  We could not have asked for a more professional person to work with!  Thanks so much!  ~ Mallory & John R.

Michelle, of Sand and Strings, was an absolutely amazing addition to our beach wedding ceremony.  Although a huge fan of the violin and classical music, I was weary as to how our ceremony music would sound with just a violin, sans other string instruments.  When Michelle began to play for our processional, I filled up with tears.  The beautiful music, along with the sight of my family walking down the aisle, is a memory that I will never forget. In addition, Michelle was always prompt with her correspondence, listened to my suggestions, helped me throughout the entire process of selecting ceremony music, and provided her own sound equipment.  A great musician and a great business woman… I would recommend Michelle Adams of Sand and Strings to anyone needing ceremony music in the Gulf Coast area.- Amanda K.

Thank you so much for providing the music for our ceremony last Sunday.  Your music was absolutely beautiful!  We’ll be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for a violinist in the Destin, Florida area! ~ Kelly & Landon C.

“I used Michelle Adams for all of my ceremony music and was beyond pleased with her performance. Michelle has amazing talent! I had so many compliments from all of my guests for weeks after the wedding raving about her talent. She was especially great to work with. She always helped to eliminate the stress, which was a huge help to me! If you’re a bride, you know all about the stress…I highly recommend Michelle and all the talent that she brings to the table.” – Emily R.

Michelle Adams and her talent as a violinist was such a blessing at our wedding. She was so helpful in picking out the music selections and made everything so easy from beginning to end. We received several compliments from guests at the ceremony and we were thrilled that we went with a violinist rather than a pianist. I would definitely recommend Michelle Adams to anyone looking for music that is classic yet unique at their wedding! – Megan

As the mother of the bride, I had so much to do prior to and during the wedding. You made my job easy, you were there early, set up, looked wonderful, and your music was not only appropriate but beautiful! I enjoyed meeting you and your husband and am sorry that I did not get an opportunity to spend some time talking with you for a bit, but you understood, were very independent, professional and did an outstanding job. Thank you! – Sharon

“I just wanted to tell you that the music was beautiful at my wedding! I was impressed at how well I could hear it over the ocean and all. I think it was the most perfect music for the wedding I planned! I wanted you to know how perfect it all was and how much I appreciate you!” - Terri A.

“My husband and I still can’t get over how perfect our ceremony was and can’t thank you enough! You played a vital role in our wedding and added such an ambience that it wouldn’t have been the same without you there! It would be my pleasure to refer you to anyone and everyone I know getting married in Destin Fl.”
-Moneique and Steve
