Just the best!

Virginia James Band was the most amazing addition to our ceremony in Newport, RI. Chris and Alicia are so professional throughout the whole process, and play the most beautiful music together. Chris and Alicia also have a great sound system set up (our ceremony was outside on the water) so the ceremony is seamless and everyone can hear it. Thank you so much Alicia and Chris for being apart of our day! - Jack and Sarah

Perfect Music, Perfect Day

Virginia James Music made our wedding day truly unforgettable. Alicia and Chris were amazing to work with from start to finish. They had an impressive music selection, and their willingness to go the extra mile really stood out.

We asked them to learn a special song that wasn’t in their usual repertoire—it was a bit of a deep cut but meant the world to us. They learned it perfectly and played it so beautifully on the day.

Their performance was spot-on and added such a personal touch to our celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better duo to be a part of our special day. They were simply perfect. Highly recommend Virginia James Music for any event!

Very communicative leading up to the wedding. Provided very comprehensive music list, asked all the right questions. Music was PHENOMENAL. Wedding guests raved about the music. They were patient with our toddler who was mesmerized by the instruments. Absolutely would recommend!
