BG Violin
"Bruno was great!, very easy to work with, very flexible with our choices, even providing us samples to listen to proactively ahead of wedding. On the day Bruno and his partner played beautifully and created a wonderful setting that many guests commented on. They were timely, very professional, smartly dressed and a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Bruno you were great!"
WE DUO - Violin and Cello
"WE DUO was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding in Evora! From the first consultation (Filipa is very prompt and responsive!) to the day of the event, we could not be happier with their service. They have a large repertoire of music to choose from and are also very accommodating when it comes to learning new music which made our event feel truly personal. We had so many guests approach us after the wedding ceremony who told us how much they loved the music that Filipa and Bruno played."
String trio
"We had the absolute pleasure of having this incredible string trio perform at our wedding, and they exceeded every expectation we had.
From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and extremely accommodating—especially when it came to learning and performing our custom walk-out songs. Hearing those pieces played live in such a beautiful, elegant way was one of the most memorable moments of the entire day.
During cocktail hour, they created the perfect atmosphere. Their repertoire was outstanding—seamlessly blending classics with modern favorites—and they kept our guests fully engaged and constantly commenting on how talented they were. The music added such a warm, sophisticated energy to the entire space.
If you’re looking for musicians who are not only exceptionally skilled but also flexible, thoughtful, and truly invested in making your event special, we cannot recommend them highly enough. They were a highlight of our wedding and we’re so grateful to have had them be part of it."

"Wonderful musical accompaniment
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful musical accompaniment at our wedding! I was able to specify exactly which songs I had imagined for our special day, and they were simply implemented beautifully. The communication was at all times uncomplicated, warm and reliable. Our first getting-to-know-each-other via Teams was also very pleasant and immediately gave me a good feeling.
The music was the perfect accompaniment for this special occasion and created an unforgettable atmosphere. The surprise for my husband was completely successful – I could not have wished for it to be more beautiful!
I would choose this musical accompaniment again at any time and can recommend it wholeheartedly. Thank you very much for everything! ❤️"
Dos Arcs Duo
"Dos Arcs Duo were 100/10 they helped us have the wedding of our dreams. They absolutely captured the moment and played beautifully. Not only were we impressed, all of our guests were brought to tears during our wedding ceremony… including our wedding planner because of the music! They also only had a few days to prepare the custom music we selected.
To recommend Dos Arcos is the easiest choice while planning a wedding. Look no further because there isn’t a better duet! We love Dos Arcos and will forever be honored they played at our wedding."
