Hannah and Aaron’s wedding ceremony and reception at Bellemere Winery, violin and cello duo, September 7, 2013, London ON

This was a beautiful wedding ceremony with elegance and refinement but with a healthy dose of fun, excitement and surprises. Prior to the start of the ceremony we performed a selection of light classical music to go with the ambiance and flow of the guests chatting and taking their seats. During the ceremony, the bride and groom only made a couple of requests—that we perform the theme song to Game of Thrones, and Bittersweet Symphony for the recessional. The rest (the signing) was up to us. After the recessional, we were also hired to perform at the cocktail reception following the ceremony, and for this portion we played much more upbeat music from our list of over 100 pop and modern songs.

This wedding was perfect, in a very unique way—it rained throughout the ceremony! This might not be some people’s definition of a perfect wedding, but in this case it was. The bride’s family is Scottish, and as the photographer Shannon Yau so elegantly put it on her blog: “the fog mixed with the rain, the tartan, and the bag pipes – it couldn’t have been more perfect.” Our string musicians added an additional layer of elegance and mystique that the venue (The Ranche) and weather had supplied for the wedding.

Alice and Geofrey Flores’ wedding ceremony at the Chapel of the Old Mill Toronto, violin and cello duo, September 6, Toronto ON

Our string duo loves performing at the Old Mill, one of our favorite, and certainly one of the most popular wedding venues in Toronto and the GTA, especially for our string musicians We performed at the Chapel, which is lovely and intimate, and were excited to perform a brand new recently completed song arrangement. As guests began to take their seats, we performed a selection of classical music to help create a nice mood, and them the guests know that the wedding would be starting shortly. For the processional, we performed a very beautiful violin and cello version of the Flower Duet from Lakme by Leo Delibes. This is to our knowledge the first violin and cello arrangement of this work and we were very excited to premiere it at this ceremony. The bride walked down to the Music of the Night from the Phantom of the Opera, which was also magical. The signing was the famous Wachet Auf, or Sleepers Awake, which was a nice classical piece for this part of the ceremony. Finally, Runaway by the Corrs was performed as the bride and groom walked their way back down the aisle. Prelude: Charpentier Prelude and other classical

“Thanks for being there doing an awesome job! Our guests and us were enjoying the music”

We work very hard to provide our clients with a wide range of interesting music to choose from, including classical, pop, fiddle tunes rock and everything in between, and it’s always nice when clients send us their selections for each part of the ceremony, such as the processional, signing, communion, offering, sand ceremony etc. But, its also nice when the clients leave the selections up to us, and that is exactly what happened with this ceremony at the Prince House, and it was excellent and a surprise for the couple.

Jacqueline and Marty’s wedding ceremony at Wesley United Church, violin and cello duo, September 1, Winona ON

This wedding took place in a beautiful country Church, that had stunning acoustics—the sound was warm and full and everyone had nice comments about our performance. It is also nice when clients can choose the music they want to hear and have it performed inside a church. The music to this ceremony was also classic and very elegant and we had a wonderful time performing it. While everything sounded spectacular A Thousand Years by Christina Perri played by the violinist and cellist was the highlight!

We perform many wedding at the carriage house of Vineland estates, and this was another beautiful example how great a wedding can be when the venue, officiant a, and musicians all know each other and have worked together in the past. The music selections for this wedding ceremony combined two classical pieces for the processional and recessional, with a modern piece sandwiched in the middle---what a great and unexpected contrast.
