-String Duo consisting of 2 Violins

What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.
How much time do you need to set up?
We like to arrive around an hour before we play. We are able to liaise with staff at your venue to ensure things run smoothly. We have very little equipment and so are able to move easily eg. from your ceremony room to drinks reception setting.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
We have an example of our playlist on our Encore profile and are happy to make recommendations if you would like. You can specify a full set list or alternatively choose a style or vibe for your event and leave us to provide appropriate music.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, absolutely! We bring our own instruments to play acoustically.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If there is a song or piece of music you would like that is not on our current playlist we can make a special arrangement for you free of charge. Further special arrangements are for a fee by negotiation.
