Bet you didn’t know violin + harp could sound this good playing Taylor Swift. ✨

A first-draft sneak peek of our duo performing “Opalite”

The harp is one of those instruments that instantly transforms the atmosphere of a wedding. It’s rare, highly specialized, and no small feat to bring on site. Whenever we perform, we can see the exact moment where the whole room sparkles: jaws drop, eyes light up, and everyone says, “Wow!”

Final film coming soon.

We’ve been quiet here because we’ve been loud everywhere else.

Wait, that’s not quite what I mean 😅

But, you get it!

Our wedding season is in full swing with incredible events and the sweetest couples ever. When we aren’t performing, we are at our desk (only taking the *occasional* treat break 🐾).

Big things are happening here. We’ve got our noses to the grindstone. Stay tuned and in tune 🎻

Timeless doesn’t mean boring.

When we start playing classical music, people turn. The room shifts. And every time, they gasp and say how beautiful it is.

Live classical music at a private event is rare. When it’s done well, it holds a room’s attention and changes everything.

This meant a lot to read.

We built this space intentionally. Not just in June, not just when it’s visible or expected, but always.

Music is for everyone.
We mean everyone.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗

The term "off-season" always includes air quotes, for us, because as full-time musicians, we're always performing and creating: Whether it's on symphony stages, underneath opera pits, or teaching the next generation of young musicians, no two days are the same (and every day is busy!)

Nevertheless, our passion lies in perfection: which leads to Ariana's personal input for the latest Catersource feature.

Utilizing the Off-Season as a Strategy Window

You think this is just the song… until it isn’t.

You see it before you even hear it.

“Turning Page” layered with live strings in real time for this first dance at Wadsworth Mansion.

The moment he sees her.

The way it actually feels in real life.

That’s the sound.

💌 Save this for your aisle moment.
