Our violinist and cellist performed a beautiful wedding ceremony at the Miler's Chapel of the Ancaster Mill in June of 2019, and we received a lovely review from the bride. This was originally posted on wedding wire, and you can read this and other reviews of past performances here: https://www.weddingwire.ca/wedding-music/duo-damore--e8347
"Incredibly talented and perfectly professional. We selected our ceremony songs but allowed Duo D'Amore to choose the pre-ceremony songs while our guests were seated and we couldn't be happier with the mood they set for us. We had two musicians play at our Ancaster Mill indoor ceremony and it was the perfect volume and presence needed."
As always, I like to personally respond to customer reviews, and here is what I wrote:
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a personal review of our services. We LOVE what we do, and I'm always glad when our enthusiasm and dedication come across in performance. All the best for a long and happy marriage!
Warm regards,
Matthew
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 !!

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.

This was such a beautiful day! We love performing at the Rose Garden as it is just so perfect for an outdoor wedding. Our string trio performed the following music and even added an additional recessional song to make the day even more special for the bride and groom.
