Wedding Violinist Cellist Niagara Strings. Samantha and Ben’s wedding ceremony, July 25, 2010, Cave Spring Vineyard, Niagara. It’s always great to have a good start to the day, and that’s exactly what Samantha and Ben felt a they read their vows in the middle of the Vineyard at 10:30am on a July morning.
Musically the couple chose a great selection of music that combined their different religious histories in a beautiful way. Before the actual ceremony started, we positioned the violin and cello duo discreetly behind the Chuppah, and began to play a selections of classical music as guests arrived, chatted and were seated. During the ceremony, we performed Te Deum by Charpentier for the bridal processional. During the signing, the couple requested a custom arrangement, and we created a unique and poignant rendition of the classic, Dodi Li, finishing up with the boisterous Rejouissance from the Royal Fireworks by Handel.

Solo Violin -wedding ensembles Niagara ON
The solo violin
The smallest bowed string instrument in the violin family is the violin. It is also the quietest instrument, but that does not mean that it cannot produce a sound. Don’t forget that violin soloists regularly perform with a 50-100 piece orchestra, in a large hall seating 2000 or more people, and the solo violin can be heard over the entire orchestra, and at the very back of the concert hall. How? This comes down to the skill of the violinist, and positioning. This is why at wedding ceremonies for example we often are quite picky about the exact spot where our violinists and ensembles perform, no matter if the string ensemble is outdoors or indoors a single violinist is a great choice.
Duo d’Amore’s solo violinist is a great option for those who want live music but have a smaller budget. The solo violinist performs classical pieces, contemporary pieces, and a mix of both. Their music is perfect for wedding ceremonies, cocktail receptions, and intimate dinners.
The solo cello Niagara ON
Like the solo violin, a solo cellist is a great option for slightly smaller wedding ceremonies and receptions in Niagara ON. Larger than the violin, it is very resonant, and can play an equally wide range of music. Clients that hire the solo cello and solo violin for weddings and events often have a guest list of under 50, but not necessarily so.
The violin and cello duo Niagara ON
The violin and cello duo, or string duet, is made up of one violin player and one cello player. This is our most requested string ensemble for hire in Niagara ON. Having both the violin, which is able to play soaring melodies, and the cello which is able to anchor and often accompany, while having an even larger sound it is no wonder that this is our most popular string ensemble. I like to imagine that the violin is like the right hand of the piano and the cello is the left had of the piano, together they can play almost anything, and that is another reason that it is our most popular ensembles.
Duo d’Amore’s violin and cello duo is a popular choice for weddings. The duo consists of a violinist and a cellist who play together, creating a beautiful, harmonious sound.

Wedding String quartet Niagara ON
Our string quartet is the largest wedding ensemble that we have for hire. The string quartet has a long and rich history. This dates back to the classical period of music in the 18th century. Composers such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven wrote some of the most famous and enduring string quartet works. In the 19th century, the string quartet continued to be an important genre, with composers such as Schubert and Brahms producing some of their most notable works in this format. During this time, the string quartet also began to be used for more private, intimate occasions such as weddings.
Popularity
In the 20th century, the popularity of the string quartet for weddings continued to grow. More and more couples sought out the beautiful and timeless sound of classical music for their special day. In addition to classical music, the string quartet also began to incorporate popular songs and pieces from other genres. These include jazz, folk, rap, and rock and roll.
