Toronto violin & cello duo proposal “I was thrilled with Duo D’Amore from the planning, to the execution, to the immediate follow-up. My overall experience was phenomenal and the performance…
Here is lovely review posted to Weddingwire by Stephanie (the bride) from a wedding ceremony and cocktail reception at the Markham event centre on May 19, 2019.
Our experience with Duo d’Amore was outstanding. It was a last minute decision, not even 10 days before the wedding. They’ve made sure everything would be set up perfectly and gave us recommendations to help with the music selection. They created a truly magical atmosphere. This was the wedding of our dreams and they were the final touch, everyone absolutely loved them. Thank you so much !!

“Thanks so much for organizing. Your crew was on-time and awesome. Lots of great feedback.”
Our string trio (two violins and cello) was hired to perform for a corporate reception on February 28th 2019, for a corporate customer reception at the Westin Ottawa. The event was held at Daly’s on the third floor, and we were happy to perform for the guests. Most guests were between the ages of 25-65, and we created an interesting and fun playlist of upbeat pop as well as classical music.
We received a lovely thank you card from our clients Kris and Stephanie, who were married on September 29, 2018 at a private residence on the outskirts of Kitchener-Waterloo.
"Matthew, Thank you so much for the superb musicians and music during our wedding celebrations on September 29th. By all accounts & unsolicited feedback--they were the best ever! Thanks for helping us make our day special & memorable! S&K"
It was a pleasure for our violin and cello duo to perform this wedding, and we wish Stephanie and Kris all the best for a long and happy marriage!

We love clients like Kaitlyn and Cole as they were extremely excited to have Duo d’Amore perform a fantastic selection of music at their wedding ceremony at Hockley Valley. As the guests arrived the violin and cello duet performed modern pop music, with songs including Fields of Gold, I Think I Wanna Marry you, River Flows in You and others. When the officiant, parents and groomsmen were ready, we performed You Raise Me Up, making a smooth transition into Beyonce’s Halo for the four bridesmaids. For the bride the strings performed a lovely rendition of Pachelbel Canon for a traditional touch. When the couple signed the marriage license, we moved back to pop music with Elvis’ Can’t Help Falling in Love. When the couple was pronounced man and wife and the wedding party exited, w performed Viva la Vida, to add a lovely touch to a memorable wedding ceremony!

This wedding at Graydon Hall was absolutely stunning, and we were honored to be a part of it. We had a really fun time talking about song selections for the ceremony, and we came up with an excellent grouping of songs to fit each part of the ceremony perfectly. The music was performed by Duo d’Amore’s string trio and we received many really nice comments from the guests.

Our string ensembles have had the pleasure of performing at Starling Lane Vineyard several times in the past, and we are happy to be back. Working with Alicia on choosing the music was a pleasure—one of the songs that she particularly wanted during the ceremony was Bridge over Troubled Water, and were extremely happy to be able to incorporate this songs during the ceremony. The signing portion was the perfect place to perform this song, and it was followed beautifully by the recessional music with concluded the ceremony sin such a lovely way.
