String Duo
"Thanks again for everything Jill! It was truly spectacular. Having a string duo made a world of difference, from the beginning to the first dance it was truly something else. Erica and all the guests were very impressed and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend Jill and her associates."

“Amazing work!!! They were so easy to coordinate and understanding. Last year we had a hiccup and had to postpone the event. They were kind to hold the deposit and worked with us. The music brought tears to many of our guests and really made the event overall to be a dream. Really recommend!!”

A string duo consists of violin and cello. This configuration is ideal for a small and intimate wedding, though the sound is not quite as full as a trio or quartet. The violin brings the melody and the cello provides the bass and harmony. Do you have your heart set on a song that doesn't appear in the list? Contact Jill about a custom arrangement for your wedding/event.
Highlighted titles below link to YouTube videos, so you can get a sense of what this configuration looks and sounds like.
