Kira and Jakub’s wedding ceremony at Banty’s Roost Country Club, September 8, 2012, violin and cello duo, Caledon ON

Kira and Jakub hired our violin and cello duo to perform for their wedding ceremony and cocktail reception at Banty’s Roost Country Club. The wedding ceremony was outdoors, I must admit that the music selections that were chosen really helped to accentuate and project a fresh outdoor feeling. The first song that started the ceremony was Mouret Rondeau—this song is stately and very easy for the bridesmaids to walk to as it has a clear cut beat. Sometimes the music for the bride will contrast the bridesmaids, but not in this case. Spring by Vivaldi really amped things up and created both a fresh feeling as well as a sense of excitement, which is how it should be for the bride on the wedding day! The signing music took a step back in terms of the vivacity, but also moved into a more lush and rich tonal palette, as our musicians performed the beautiful meditation from Thais by Jules Massenet. With a traditional ending to the ceremony, the bride and groom walked off as husband and wife to Mendellsohn’s wedding march.

Kimber and Rob’s wedding ceremony and reception, September 8, 2012, violin and cello duo, Calgary

I just wanted to thank-you for the wonderful musicians you had for us at our wedding last Saturday. It was an incredible day! Thanks so much once again. Kimber, bride

This wedding just had so much packed into the ceremony—so many special details and gorgeous music. Duo d’Amore worked alongside trumpeter Al Muirhead and organist John Bouz, to perform a very classic wedding ceremony. With the organ and trumpet plus the strings, there was an amazing array of timbres, textures, dynamics—it was almost like the bride and groom had a whole orchestra at their disposal. Definitely a memorable ceremony! Following the ceremony, we went to the Calgary Golf and Country club where we performed a more upbeat selection of music during the cocktail reception.
