Woodwind Musicians in United StatesClassical 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.

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."

"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."
