A Wedding Ceremony is a wonderful celebration for the newlyweds and their guests and loved ones. What is capable of touching the innermost feelings of the human soul? Of course, it`s exquisite live music. Many couples when choosing live music for their wedding prefer the string duo, violin and cello.
What is a string duo?
A string duo is simply two stringed instruments, usually a violin to play the melody voice and a cello to play the accompanying voice. You can also choose to hire two violins but don`t forget that a violin is a melody playing instrument and two violins may sound redundant. Check our post (What should you know before choosing a solo violin for your wedding?).
Will a duet of violin and cello be enough for your wedding?
If you’re having your ceremony in a small, intimate venue, say for 75 guests or less, a string duo is an ideal choice. And while a string quartet is a classic choice in a larger venue, a quartet might be considered a little over-bearing in the smaller environment.
Another aspect to consider is the cost. The price of a wedding ensemble is dependent on a number of factors. The number of musicians you are hiring affects the price so a duo will be a great alternative to a string trio or quartet while still creating that elegant atmosphere at a fraction of the cost.
How much does a violin / cello duo cost for a wedding?
The cost of wedding ceremony music can vary widely depending on the type of musicians you choose, their experience, their level of education, the distance they need to travel to your location, the length of time you want them at the job, and other factors.
