• Ms. Price is one of the most talented musicians I have ever met. The music she prepared for my wedding was absolutely beautiful! I know she spent many hours preparing for the program. I had some special requests that she worked hard to accomadate, even arranging a custom piece for me. We corresponded by e-mail and she was always very prompt in her responses by phone or e-mail. She helped me plan by suggesting appropriate pieces. I was a bride with a VERY full plate, and she helped keep me on course as far as the music went! She was very professional yet compassionate and sensitive to the needs of a nervous bride! I would definately hire her again! -- Tamara S, Bridgewater, VA, 5/16/2009
• Cara was a pleasure to work with - she went out of her way to provide the music we requested and did a wonderful job. -- Peggy D, Towson, MD, 6/20/2009
• Cara was wonderful. I was looking for someone less than a week before my wedding and she really stepped up to the plate working with me in such little time. She was very responsive, professional, and accommodating. The wedding started more than an hour late and the guests really enjoyed her music. The flute was really a fantastic touch to our wedding in the park. Thanks again Cara!!! -- Tara L, Annapolis, MD, 7/11/2009
