Act of Congress: Music for Life’s Most Memorable Moments

For over 15 years, Act of Congress has crafted a sound that’s entirely their own, blending mandolin, violin, guitar, bass, and rich, layered harmonies into a genre-defying acoustic experience. What started as a passion for honest, expressive music has grown into a sought-after live experience for weddings, churches, and special events around the world.

At the heart of it all is authenticity.

“It’s hard for us to create anything meaningful without including the language of faith,” says violinist and vocalist Connie Skellie. “These songs are the soundtrack of our lives.”

Mandolinist and lead vocalist Adam Wright adds:

“The older I get, the less I’m interested in putting on a performance. I want people to feel something real, to feel served, and to walk away with joy.”

That philosophy shapes every note they play.

Unforgettable Wedding Experiences

Act of Congress doesn’t just play weddings; they help create moments people remember for a lifetime.

From the emotion of a ceremony to the energy of a packed dance floor, their ability to move seamlessly between intimate acoustic beauty and high-energy celebration sets them apart.

The result?
