🎻🥁 Live wedding entertainment takes on a completely different energy when strings and percussion come together.

At Chickadee Hill Farms in Iredell County, our ensemble performed a unique arrangement of Usher’s “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” that blended the elegance of live strings with the rhythmic drive of live drums. The result was a performance that felt contemporary, energetic, and perfectly suited to the venue’s high-end rustic atmosphere.

Our drummer added a dynamic layer that elevated the music beyond a traditional string ensemble, creating a fuller sound while maintaining the sophistication that couples love for weddings and special events. Combining violin, viola, and cello, and percussion allowed familiar songs to feel fresh, engaging, and memorable for guests throughout the celebration.
