My colleagues and I are professional musicians with years of performance experience. We would be honoured to be a part of your special day. For small events, a Classic Solo Violin or String Duo adds simple elegance. More musicians creates a fuller sound with lusher harmonies. Our String Trio and String Quartet are perfect for a more formal event with a large venue and/or long guest list.
Our classic string ensembles play acoustic instruments (unplugged or with pickups to amplify for a crowd) and perform a variety of music from your favourite Top 40s pop and Classic Rock hits, jazz standards, folk songs from many cultures to music by Mozart, Bach and Vivaldi. The beautiful tone of the string quartet will allow music from all different eras and genres to flow seamlessly while adding elegance and tradition to your special event.
When do I pay?
A non-refundable deposit of $150 will Save the Date for your special day at time of booking. The balance is due 24 hours before your event.
Can I request songs outside your list?
For Special Requests that are outside of my (very large!) music library, there may be an additional cost of $20/song.
Is there a travel fee?
For events outside of the Hamilton area, an additional driving surcharge may apply. Please share your venue at time of booking!
How do we discuss the details?
To meet in person or on Zoom to discuss and hear musical samples, you can book a free appointment. Questions via phone and email are also welcomed.
What do I need to provide?
We bring our own equipment - you just need to provide the chairs, a few feet of space per musician, and a canopy or indoor venue in the case of inclement weather, as our delicate instruments are very sensitive to water damage, even sprinkling! If the temperature is below 12 degrees, an indoor venue is required to protect our instruments from cracking and our fingers from the cold!
The musicians will arrive 40 minutes prior to your ceremony and perform 20-30 mins of Prelude Music to welcome your arriving guests. During the ceremony we typically play for:
Looking for wedding music during cocktail hour, too? We can add on a reception package at a discounted rate. For any additional postlude music during photos, cocktail hour or dinner, anticipate $150/musician hourly with no additional booking fee.
Music isn't just for weddings!
We perform at cocktail hours, dinner receptions, corporate functions, funerals, anniversaries, retirement celebrations, and birthdays. I'd love to play at your next event! Please contact for pricing. Hourly rates are $150/musician plus a $150 non-refundable booking fee.
