Duo. Geri studied at the New England Conservatory of

Thank you for a beautiful day! Everyone kept telling me that
the music you played was beautiful, and I could not have asked for
better or more professional musicians. You made the day so
memorable. Thanks again, Martin and Gia - 04/2007

"The music was
beautiful, and we LOVED the moments where she added some music to
the ceremony. We thought it gave the entire thing a very magical
feel. Our guests were raving about what a great touch that was. Geri
and her guitarist (Jeanmarie Tissot) were able to work with us to
find just the right music, and I don't even have words for how
talented they are. Thank you for adding to the magic of our day!" -

"Jeanmarie was very
helpful in helping me to select musical pieces and type of music I
wanted played for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour (Rams Head,
EHT, NJ). It was exactly what I was looking for, sounded
perfect, and was very well received. Thank you so much!" -
