Frequently Asked Questions
We include two special requests as part of the package price. Special requests are songs not currently in our repertoire, and we kindly ask that they be submitted three weeks prior to your event.
For ceremonies, we suggest choosing music for key moments, such as:
Bridal Party entrance
Groom’s entrance
Bride’s entrance
Signing of the register
Bride and Groom's recessional
This template can be customized to fit your unique ceremony. For prelude or cocktail hour music, each song lasts 3-5 minutes. You may select individual songs to fill the time or provide a preferred genre, and we will curate the playlist accordingly.
Please finalize all music selections three weeks before the event. Thank you!

Yes, we are also able to move between different venues. The time required for the transition will depend on the distance and logistics, but we aim to ensure everything is packed, transported, and set up efficiently to maintain the flow of your event.

While we don’t always need to be mic'd, we recommend using microphones for louder settings, such as cocktail hours or receptions. For these occasions, two standard microphones on adjustable stands, or clip-on mics, would work well.
If you're interested in solo cello, our cellist has a sound system and microphone available and can perform alongside pre-recorded (canned) music for a more amplified experience.
We arrive approximately 45 minutes before the start time to ensure everything is perfectly set up.
No, we do not attend the rehearsal, as we are able to coordinate everything directly with you beforehand. However, we’re always available to discuss any specific details or timing to ensure the day goes smoothly.
