    Kelly and the team at 3rd Coast Live were WONDERFUL to work with. Having live ceremony music during our wedding ceremony was important to us and Kelly and team were exactly as we had hoped for. They were flexible with our song choices, very professional throughout the whole process, and played beautifully. Not a dry eye in the house!

    3rd Coast Live was the live music for our wedding at monte bello estate. They delivered an amazing performance. While their communication leading up to the wedding could have been a bit better, they ultimately worked everything out and ensured our day went off without a hitch. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - they were the perfect addition for our cocktail hour and ceremony. One highlight was when they surprised my husband by playing a Lord of the Rings song as his groomsmen walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We had an absolute blast celebrating with 3rd Coast Live, and they were worth every penny. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible live music touch to their wedding.
