Client Testimonials for Ocean Sands Classical Trio"I can't say enough good things about the Ocean Sands Trio. They played from a very impressive repertoire for the three hours of our wedding reception and, even though there were 60 people in a relatively small space, their sound never "got in the way" of conversation. Lara is dependable, flexible and accommodating;three very important adjectives for the business she's in;and I wouldn't hesitate in giving her my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!"------Kerry E., San Francisco, August 24th, 2008 "We could not have had a better experience. They were a joy and certainly added to our beautiful wedding!"--Barbara T, July 2008, San Ramon, CA "I can only give you an A++++. Your music was fantastic and was the crowning point to the wedding. I had so many wonderful comments on your song and the arrangements and music choices. I have been planning this wedding for my daughter's entire lifetime in my mind and you were a very important part of it. Thank you and your group from all of us."------Susan W., Cameron, Kiely and JP, Hollister, CA June 2008 "Lara, The two of you were so wonderful. My family and i were commenting on how easy it was to work with you both. And my new wife absolutely loved her song as she walked down the isle. Thank you again for helping us create such a memorable day. Cheers,Jason" -----Jason L., Belmont August 2008 "Lara and her group were just what we were hoping for. We wanted a classy event and the Ocean Sands trio helped us accomplish this with great success. I highly recommend Ocean Sands for private parties and corporate events. Thanks!" ----Lisa S., corporate party, San Francisco, CA August 25th, 2008 "Lara, I can't even begin to tell you how grateful we were to have you there! You were amazing and definitely made the ceremony more enjoyable. The Rocky Theme Song was everything we hoped for and made us crack up when we were walking out. It was PERFECT! Thank you again! I gave you rave reviews on the feedback form. And I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know!------Kat, Tehama Golf Course, Carmel, Ca 2008 "They were excellent, extremely professional and played beautifully." -Danielle R, July 8, 2008 Burlingame, CA "Ocean Sands Trio was absolutely the final touch to my daughter's wedding day. They were on time and in the gazebo playing as I (mother of the bride) came to the wedding area. I walked up to them to greet them and they were all so cordial. Their professionalism was beyond measure. At the last minute the soloist for the wedding was unable to sing and Lara filled in singing "The Prayer." What a treat that was!!! I didn't have to frantically look around for a replacement - she was there and willing to help out. I never worried about anything for one minute - it was all taken care of and more. I would highly recommend this trio for any event." -Susan W, 6/27/2008, Wedding, Hollister, CA "Everyone I spoke to really enjoyed your music. Thank you for being part of our ceremony" ----- Ani V., San Francisco, CA, April 2007 "Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding ceremony!! You have been an amazing individual to work with. Chris and I
are incredibly grateful for your effort and determination to provide us with a fantastic wedding experience. Truly, your trio
surpassed even our highest expectations. Your presentation, sound and appearance were all in perfect harmony. We were awed and our
guests enjoyed every minute of the evening. Please feel free to use us as a reference. Thank you again for
facilitating our special day in a such superb fashion. We feel so blessed." ----- All the best, Heidi & Chris, San Francisco, CA August 2007 "Lara was extremely accommdating, with many recommendations. She was very responsive to my questions and needs ( I was nervous about the wedding and I emailed her A LOT!)and she worked to make me feel comfortable and confident. She and her fellow musicians were punctual, professional, and their music was great. They also worked with our freind who sang at our wedding ceremony both before the event by email and on the day of the event before guests arrived. All of our guests commented on how lovely and fitting the music was. I highly reommend both Lara and Ocean Sands." ----Bill B, July 2008, Oakland, CA "Thank you so much for the beautiful music yesterday;it really completed the event and made it special!"----Lindsay C., San Francisco, August 11th 2008You can book the Ocean Sands Trio by contacting Lara Garner directly or through Gigmasters.
