FAQ

  • How do I book?

    Click here to submit our lead capture form and receive your contract. Your link to pay your deposit will follow within 24 hours of contract submission!

  • What's the payment schedule?

    You’ll pay a 50% deposit due within 5 days of signing your contract to reserve your date, and the remainder is due at least 10 days before the wedding.

  • How early should I book?

    4–12 months in advance is ideal, especially during peak season.

  • What are your ensemble options?

    We offer string duos, trios, and quartets. We do not offer soloists.

  • Which ensemble is best for my wedding?

    A trio or quartet provides the richest, most dynamic sound, perfect for creating a cinematic and emotional experience.

    With more players, you'll hear harmonies, countermelodies, and fuller textures; just like in the original versions of your favorite songs!

    A duo is ideal for more intimate settings or smaller venues, but larger ensembles will bring your music to life in a bigger way.
