Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
Expanding our forces from a String Duo to a much larger ensemble in 2024, we now offer multiple line-up options including: duo, string trio, piano trio, string quartet
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We are flexible with timings, as long as we are given in advance of the day of the event. Being told of any changes ASAP would be greatly appreciated! In some cases where length of playing time is altered, a new fee may have to be agreed to suit.
How much time do you need to set up?
We need no longer than 15-20 minutes to set up - as no electrical equipment. We just turn up with our acoustic instruments and play! Typically we arrive between 30-60 minutes before an event.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Our list is just used as a guide. Our list is ever expanding so don't hesitate to get in touch if there are songs you would like to be added!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, all our playing equipment we bring along. We only require however many musicians are playing, in armless chairs to be provided.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes - our set list just has examples of songs from each genre so send any specific pieces through. In case of you request a song we don't have in our collection, it is still a possibility to play it at your wedding - as long as we are told with plenty of time in advance!
