Super Helpful!

I was frantically contacting people looking for a cellist, and the Adore Duet was super helpful! They helped me to find two players quickly, who would drive 3 hours (!) to the Wedding Venue and perform. Their quality is just wonderful, and they are super helpful and super professional!!

Beautiful!

I reached out to this wonderful couple for my wedding a few weeks before. I was on the fence about live music. They are truly the best. I got a ton of complements on the prelude and ceremony music. Thank you!!!

Best talent and service

We had adore duet play violin and cello for our wedding and I cannot say enough good things about them. They were super responsive and accommodating from day one. I had a special request for a song, and they wrote the music to ensure my wish came true. Being the bride, I was tucked away during the ceremony, but I could hear their music and it was beautiful. I couldn’t ask for a better duo!

Kind, accommodating, and highly professional

We had a few unique requests for our ceremony music and Adore duet did a great job orchestrating unique parts and playing beautifully during the ceremony. We talked through the details well ahead of time in preparation, so though I wasn’t able to break away to welcome them to our event, they knew the drill and hit every cue. Definitely a group you can trust to do a great job!

Incredible experience!

Andrew and Ying were wonderful to work with! From the very first time we contacted them, we knew they’d be the perfect duo to perform our wedding ceremony music. They were very clear communicators and made everything very easy by talking through the process with us and providing a list of songs upfront that they had played in the past. We had a special request song that we wanted them to perform as a duo, but the only sheet music we could find was for a string quartet. They gladly offered to listen to and write out the music to the song we wanted so that it could be performed as a duo for a very minimal (and reasonable) fee. In the end, our ceremony music was perfect and sounded even better in person than we anticipated! If you’re considering booking adore duet for your ceremony, definitely do it! You won’t regret it!
