Classical duos in the United States 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.
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.

Ember Strings LLC
"Ember Strings was apart of our beautiful wedding ceremony in Mexico Beach, FL, in OCT 2022. The string trio played for 30 mins prior to the ceremony, and then played the processional songs for the family and us brides to walk down the aisle. They were amazing, and I highly recommend them for any intimate event! They traveled all the way from Tampa and were very easy to work with and coordinate efforts. Thank you, Ember Strings!"
Strings Of The Heart

San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What truly blew everyone away, was when Mary Mei showcased her incredible versatility on the Guzheng a traditional Chinese Zither . The brilliant blend of Western classical mastery and traditional Eastern string artistry added a unique, unforgettable flavor to our celebration that our families are still raving about."
Lilli Elliott - Cellist
"I hired Lilli and Matt relatively last minute. They were very helpful in coordinating songs to play. They arrived 30 minutes before the event and even stayed a little longer. They were very flexible when my aunt decided to rewrite some ideas. I appreciate her kindness, understanding and flexibility. They played beautifully and flawlessly. I would definitely recommend and hire again."

Anastasiia Cello
"I was truly impressed by the performance of the cellist at our event. Nothing can compare to live music — you can actually feel the vibrations, and it creates a completely different emotional experience.
She played beautifully, with deep expression and sensitivity. On top of that, she had an elegant presence, and her instrument sounded rich and refined, clearly of high quality.
It’s been a long time since I felt such genuine emotions from music. Her performance made the entire atmosphere unforgettable."
