Imagine your special day wrapped in a soundscape of elegance, romance, and magic.

Who We Are

Wedding Dreams is a professional violin and cello duo formed by two classically trained musicians with extensive experience in wedding and event performances.
We don’t just play music — we create moods, enhance emotions, and tailor each performance to perfectly fit the setting, whether it’s a church, a civil ceremony, a garden, or an elegant reception hall.

Our Style

  • Ensemble: Violin and cello (or alternative combinations upon request) for a warm, refined, and expressive sound.

  • Repertoire: From timeless classical pieces to modern film themes and elegant pop arrangements — all curated to reflect your personality and style.

  • Perfect Moments: Entrance of the bride and groom, signing, exit, cocktail hour, reception — each part of the celebration can be beautifully underscored by live music.

  • Atmosphere: We adapt dynamics, tone, and repertoire to every space — sacred or civil, indoors or outdoors — ensuring harmony with the moment and your guests.

Why Choose Wedding Dreams

  • Timeless Elegance – The sound of strings brings grace and sophistication to every setting.

  • Fully Personalized – We collaborate with you to include your favorite songs, emotional highlights, and any special musical requests.

  • Professional & Discreet – We arrive early, set up with care, and perform with precision and sensitivity to your schedule and venue.

  • Unforgettable Moments – Our goal is to turn your wedding soundtrack into a cherished memory — one that echoes the joy and emotion of your day.

How It Works

  1. Initial Meeting – We discuss your story, musical preferences, and event details (online or in person).

  2. Repertoire Selection – You’ll receive a curated list and can freely request additional songs or custom arrangements.

  3. Planning – Together, we define timing, location logistics, and any special surprises or dedications.

  4. Performance – On the wedding day, we handle every musical detail, enhancing your moments with elegance and emotion.

  5. Optional Add-Ons – Additional musicians (e.g., violin trio, harp, or piano) or extended sets for the aperitif or cake-cutting can be arranged.

Your Investment

Our fees are based on performance duration, location, and level of customization. We guarantee transparent pricing and a professional service tailored entirely to your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Best gig:

One of the most unforgettable performances we’ve ever given was at a sunset ceremony on the shores of Lake Como. The music, the reflections on the water, and the emotion in the air came together perfectly — every note felt alive and personal.

Best venue:

We have played in many beautiful places, but the courtyard of Villa Pisani in Venice remains truly special. The acoustics were stunning, the atmosphere intimate yet grand, and it felt like every corner of the villa was resonating with our strings.

What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

🎻 Previous Experience & How We Started

Wedding Dreams was born from the shared passion of two classically trained string players who met while performing in orchestras and chamber ensembles across Italy. After years of playing in concert halls and theatres, we discovered how deeply people respond to live strings in personal settings — especially during weddings.

We began performing at intimate ceremonies for friends and colleagues, and word of mouth quickly led us to venues all over the country — from Venetian villas and Tuscan vineyards to elegant lakefront resorts.

Over the years, we’ve collaborated with leading wedding planners, DJs, and event designers, bringing our sound to both Italian and international couples. Our experience now spans hundreds of weddings and private events, each one unique, but all connected by the same goal: to create a timeless musical atmosphere that speaks straight to the heart.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

As classical musicians, we’ve been deeply influenced by composers like Bach, Mozart, and Debussy — their balance of emotion and structure continues to shape our phrasing and ensemble work.

At the same time, we’re inspired by modern artists who know how to make melody timeless: Ludovico Einaudi, Ennio Morricone, and Andrea Bocelli remind us that beauty can live equally in simplicity and grandeur.

Our favourite artist to interpret, though, might be Ennio Morricone — his music speaks directly to the heart, and every arrangement for strings feels like storytelling without words.

As for the greatest song of all time… perhaps “What a Wonderful World”. It’s universal, emotional, and perfectly expresses what we try to bring to every performance — a sense of peace, love, and beauty that everyone can feel.


Payment

To secure your booking with the Wedding Dreams duo, we require:

A 50% deposit at the time of signing the contract to reserve the date.

The remaining balance to be paid 7 days before the event.

Payments via bank transfer

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Our setup time is usually about 45 to 60 minutes before the start of the event. This allows us to unload our instruments, set up stands and amplification (if required), and do a short soundcheck to ensure perfect balance and tone in the space.

For weddings, our standard performance time is:

Ceremony: approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the length and number of musical moments (prelude, entrance, signing, recessional).

Aperitif / Cocktail hour: typically 60 to 90 minutes of continuous or lightly spaced music, creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere.

We are happy to adjust our timing to fit the flow of your day — from shorter, intimate ceremonies to extended receptions.

If the event involves multiple locations or setups (for example, ceremony in one area and aperitif in another), we’ll coordinate timing and logistics with the planner or DJ to ensure smooth transitions.


Are you happy to perform outside?

yes


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

At Wedding Dreams, we believe every wedding is unique, and music should reflect your personal story. While we do have a carefully curated repertoire of Italian, international, classical, and contemporary pieces, our clients always have the freedom to request songs that are meaningful to them.

Before the event, we offer a repertoire consultation — either in person or online — where you can:

Select from our existing list of pieces

Request special songs or arrangements

Discuss the atmosphere you want for different moments of the day (ceremony, entrance, signing, recessional, aperitif, reception)

Our goal is to combine professionalism with personalization, ensuring that every performance is tailored to your taste while maintaining musical elegance and flow.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our previous clients often describe Wedding Dreams performances as:

Elegant and refined: “The music added a timeless, sophisticated touch to our ceremony.”

Emotionally moving: “Every note felt personal and made the moment unforgettable.”

Professional yet intimate: “They were perfectly attuned to the atmosphere without ever being intrusive.”

Flexible and personalized: “They played exactly what we wanted, and even suggested beautiful arrangements we hadn’t thought of.”

Magical and memorable: “Guests kept talking about the music days after the wedding!”

We take pride in creating a musical experience that resonates with the heart, enhancing the ceremony, aperitif, and reception with both elegance and emotion.
