Cayman Islands Musician :: Kate Allenger of Cayman Violin

Today we’re featuring one of my favorite people, Kate Allenger.  If you’ve been following Crystal Blue, you would have already seen a couple of weddings Kate has been involved with, but that doesn’t even scratch the surface.  Kate is an amazing musician and such an integral part of each wedding!  Here’s what she had to say…

Crystal Blue:  How long have you been playing the violin?

Kate:  About 10 years now.  I play so many different genres it never gets dull!  Classical, contemporary, country–you name it and I’ll play it!!

Crystal Blue:  It’s great that you have such a vast range of songs to play.  How do you and the couples you work with figure out the play list for their wedding?

Kate:  I have a playlist on my website they can use as a starting point.  From there (since most couples I work with are destination couples) we figure out the details either over email or phone. 

Crystal Blue:  That’s easy!  What made you start playing at weddings?

Kate:  Oh, I just LOVE weddings!!  They are always so happy and filled with joy.  I love the emotion that weddings bring…I even cry at some of my weddings (thank goodness for sunglasses!!).

Crystal Blue:  I know!!  What advice would you give to people choosing a musician for their wedding?

Kate:  Make sure you are comfortable with your musician so you can work together to discover your music style.  Of course you will want to choose some specific songs for pieces of your wedding, but have the trust in your musician to incorporate other pieces of music throughout.  Enjoy the planning process and mostly, enjoy your day!!

Crystal Blue:  Thank you so much Kate!!!!
