These details are often afterthoughts, but they’re crucial! We know how important they are, so we have you totally covered.

Be heard

Ceremony Sound

Your friends and family want to hear your love story, so you need a great ceremony sound system: Professional microphones and speakers to pick up all the voices in your ceremony (like you, your officiant, and your readers).

 

Our Bose system ensures high-quality sound that is true to life, without altering the sound of your voice, and there's no need to worry about unpleasant interruptions like sudden feedback. 

 

No power source nearby? We've got you covered with battery-powered options.

Support for Strings

Amplification

You found the best classical wedding musicians and should truly hear them! While our acoustic groups are heard well under most circumstances, there are spaces which benefit from the added boost. 

 

We perform on professional instruments designed for concert halls and bring our own dedicated sound engineer, who continuously monitors and masters our sound as we perform. Choose from two unique looks: top-of-the-line electric instruments or traditional concert instruments fitted with specialty pick-ups.

We've invested in top-of-the-line equipment and pros, so the warmth and velvety tone you love will still be there!

Custom Attire

Our standard attire is concert black, but we can always wear formal attire or match your wedding or event colors. Below are a few examples from past performances, but feel free to request any color. We love any excuse to glam it up!

Trusted by the best of the best

"Ariana has talent bursting from her ears! The way she plays violin and knows how to collaborate with the best people for her team is impeccable! She will bring a next level experience to your wedding."

Lauren, Owner, LA Page Makeup

  • How early will you arrive?
    It is so important to us to make sure your wedding day runs smoothly. Our players arrive at least 1 hour prior to your booking.
  • Do you need us to provide any special equipment?
    Just one armless chair per musician.
  • Can I request a special song?
    Absolutely! We learn new music for nearly every wedding and make custom arrangements for your ensemble.
  • Do you attend wedding rehearsals?
    With our experienced team, it's not necessary: We know how to time the music and will guide you on the big day. If it puts your mind at ease, you can hire us to attend your rehearsal. Please contact Ariana for a quote.
  • Can you play with a singer or the church organist?
    Of course! To give provide the highest level of service, we ask for all sheet music to be provided in advance and require a rehearsal. Please note, we have our own singers and instrumentalists available for you as well.
  • Do you accept last-minute bookings?
    For quality assurance, we can no longer accept bookings under 2 months' notice (for events from May - October).
  • Do you ever substitute musicians?
    In the unlikely (and unfortunate!) event that one of our core team members has an emergency, one of our guest artists will step in. These are players Ariana has personally vetted and rehearsed especially for your wedding day.
  • Do you need to take breaks?
    We do not need to take breaks for a ceremony. For longer bookings (like micro weddings where we play ceremony, cocktail hour, first dances, and reception), we plan our breaks to match with your toasts and speeches.
