Latest reviews of our String Duos in Canterbury
"We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better string duo for our wedding!! From the very beginning, their communication was fantastic!! They were so easygoing, accommodating, and professional that they took a huge weight off our shoulders throughout the planning process! They went above and beyond to accommodate so many of our requests, simply because they wanted to make our day as special as possible. The girls were absolutely stunning and their performance was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere! They truly made our evening so memorable. They have such an amazing repertoire with something to suit so many events and settings, and their talent speaks for itself. Thank you both so, so much for being such a special part of our wedding day. Booking Con Brio Ensemble was definitely the second best decision that we made, the first being marrying my husband! We can’t recommend highly enough for anyone who wants to have a magical day!!! 🤩🤍"

FAQs about hiring String duos in Canterbury
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any string duo play my favourite song?
Professional string duos will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that string duos may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the string duo's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do string duos take to set up?
Your string duo will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the string duo prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our string duos are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our string duos will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
