Shannon and Scott’s wedding ceremony at the chapel of the Old Mill Toronto, October 13, 2012, violin and cello duo, Toronto ON

“We hired Duo d'Amore a sting duo for our wedding at the Old Mill chapel on October 13. The musician's were absolutely amazing!! I can not even express the feeling I had when I heard our wedding song coming down the isle. It brought tears to my eyes. It was absolutely perfect. We picked three custom songs. Nine inch nails - A warm place, Metallica - Nothing else matters, and Foo Fighters- Everlong. The arrangements of these songs, were so beautiful, and fit each part of our ceremony wonderfully. The musicians were on time, dressed appropriately, and were very professional. I wish we had more time to visit with them after the ceremony to express our gratitude for their amazing work.” Shannon, bride

Rossano and Ana’s wedding ceremony at Madonna della Risurrezione Church, October 13, 2012, violin and cello duo, Ottawa ON

“Thank you – the musicians were prompt, friendly, and the music was beautiful. Thank you again for your assistance on such short notice.” Bride and groom

Our violinist and cellist performed an inspiring selection of traditional classic wedding music for a catholic ceremony at the beautiful Madonna della Risurezione church in Ottawa. While we often perform at the front of the Church, in this case we performed on the balcony level. This is also a great option, as it can be quite a surprise for the guests when the music starts! Playing from the balcony also creates a particular quality of sound, aided by the church’s acoustics where the sound seems to move around the building and almost float down to the guests below. It is really remarkable, and works best with songs selections like Ave Maria and the Wagner and Mendelssohn wedding marches.

Bridesmaids Processional: Trumpet Voluntary
Bride: Wagner Wedding March

Kristin and Jamie’s wedding ceremony and reception at the Rosewater restaurant, October 13, 2012, violin and cello duo, Toronto ON

“I just wanted to send you a note thanking you and the musicians who performed on my wedding day. They were FANTASTIC - I heard such great compliments about their music. Clair De Lune and the Beatles "Love" both sounded so beautiful. Everything sounded perfect. Thank you again, it was wonderful working with you.“Kristin, bride

This couple chose a great mix of music—starting with classical music from the baroque period to set the tone of the event during the bridesmaids and bridal processional. The signing music moved ahead to the romantic period with Claude Debussy’s Claire de Lune—a piano piece arranged for the violin and cello duo. As it is soft and flowing it worked very well during the contemplative signing of the register. As the couple exited the Rosewater room, the violinist and cellist performed the bright and contemporary All you Need is Love by the Beatles, and to round out the wedding, performed two pieces by Handel that juxtaposed the Beatles in a great way, as both of these songs are quite loud, upbeat and fun.

Processionals: Bach-Gounod: Ave Maria and Bach: Air

Signing: Debussy: Claire de Lune

Recessional: All you Need is Love

Guests exit: Handel La Rejouissance and Hornpipe
