A guide to booking

Hire Classical Duos in Canada

Classical duos in Canada typically pair a melodic instrument such as violin, cello or flute with piano or harp, giving you the harmony and warmth of a small ensemble in a footprint that fits comfortably into ceremony spaces, drinks reception areas and dinner rooms. Most acts cover a mix of baroque, romantic and contemporary classical works alongside arrangements of pop and film music for couples who want both traditional and personal touches.

Wedding and Event Use

Ceremony bookings usually cover prelude, processional, signing and recessional across roughly 30 to 45 minutes of music. Drinks reception and dinner sets normally run for an hour or two, split into 45-minute halves with short breaks. These duos will learn requested pieces given a few weeks' notice, and many can scale up by adding a third or fourth player for couples wanting a fuller string sound for the aisle or first dance.

Classical Duo Pricing

Rates for classical duos in Canada generally range from $240 for shorter ceremony performances to $1,600+ for full-day wedding bookings or established acts with extensive event experience. The average price of $650 typically covers performance time, basic amplification where needed, and consultation on repertoire. Travel beyond the immediate area, custom arrangements and longer set durations may carry additional fees.

Based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia 8th May 2026 Liz T. - "Catherine's Cello" Concert Photo of Resonance Duo Resonance Duo "We booked Alona and Oleksii to perform whilst we celebrated our 55th wedding anniversary with a romantic catered dinner at our home. In short, they were truly amazing! Alona compiled a playlist that included some of our favourites and worked really hard with Oleksii to make sure everything went perfectly on the night. Individually they are extremely talented musicians and played beautifully for us both as solo artists and as a duo. Oleksii’s violin - unbelievable! Their feeling for the music was uplifting. They are both very charming and modest people. They made our evening unforgettable and we really hope that we have the opportunity to engage them again."
