Taren and Gus’s Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, June 8 Cave Spring Vineyard, Niagara ON

As I told the groom on the wedding day: this location is one of our favorite in all of Niagara, as it is beautiful for sure, but guests are often surprised to be sitting (or standing an this case) in the middle of a vineyard. There are no buildings in view, so despite the wide open space, it also feels wonderfully private. As well, there is also an amazing barnlike “retreat” on site with beautiful acoustics, which should not be missed when planning an indoor wedding.

We have not performed at as many Greek Orthodox weddings as Catholic, Jewish or non-denominational weddings, but we always feel honored to perform at ceremonies such as this.

The music selections were are classical for the ceremony, and following the ceremony we performed a number of Modern pop songs, including “I Think I Wanna Marry You” by Bruno Mars.

Constantina and Luca’s wedding, June 8, St Christophers Parish, Mississauga ON

June 8th was the day for string trios—our musicians performed as a trio for a number of events, and we enjoy performing in this format. The client actually hired us as a duo but decided that they would like to have a trio perform instead, and as always we were happy to add another player and made the change effortless for the client as we took care of all the details.

As this Church is Catholic, the clients chose a wonderful selection of songs during the wedding ceremony:

Bridesmaids Processional: Canon in D
Bride Processional: Wagner Bridal Chorus
Signing: Schubert: Ave Maria
Communion: Bach Air on the G-string
Recessional: Mouret: Rondeau

Ensemble: Duo d’Amore-string trio
