Beautiful Music for Wedding

If you’re looking for beautiful wedding music that is classical and elegant these are your ladies. Communication with them is easy and they are amazing to work with. We requested 3 songs that they were able to arrange PERFECTLY! They knew exactly what and when to play them. By far the best idea I had for the wedding and I’m so glad I chose them!!

Easy, beautiful, and women-owned!

We absolutely loved having BW&S play for our wedding ceremony in October. Allida and Christine are not only lovely people, but incredibly responsive, organized, and flexible. We only had a one hour time block that we needed a duo and they were game for it, when so many other vendors said no to the short time frame - plus it required travel and I deeply appreciated their flexibility. They also arranged a beautiful custom version of two of my favorite pop songs for my processional and recessional, and it sounded phenomenal! This is an extra cost ($50 for custom arrangement) but if you don’t need it you can choose from their list of pop and classical options. We had so many compliments on the music. I was so happy to work with a women owned and run business and will be recommending them to anyone I know. Thank you both SO much!

Wonderful live musicians to add to the ambiance of your special day!

Allida and Christine played contemporary yet beautifully elegant music for our guests entering prior to the ceremony and wedding party processional/recessional! They were so easy to work with, only exchanging a few emails about day-of details, which was so nice as a bride to have an easy-going vendor with everything else you need to worry about! They only needed one chair and an electrical outlet for set-up so our outdoor venue could easily accommodate. For a small fee, they were able to learn songs outside of their repertoire and we requested some of our favorites which added to the personal touches of the day. If you're looking for musicians for your ceremony or even cocktail hour to add a little something special, I definitely recommend Black, White, & Steel!

Perfect Music for a Magical Wedding

My son and his fiancé wanted piano and cello for their ceremony and cocktail hour. White Black & Steel were perfect! They played each selected piece flawlessly, timed everything with the processional and recessional, and kept the music going right into the cocktail hour. Many guests commented on the wonderful music and selections. Highly recommend!!!!

Wonderful experience!

We were looking for musicians to play for our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour, and BW&S delivered. From the start, they were responsive and flexible, making sure we had all the info we needed way ahead of time to make any music-related decisions. They also were enormously accommodating in playing along with my brother singing for one piece before the ceremony, which meant a lot to us. Throughout the event, they were professional and played beautifully - we got a lot of compliments about their music! Thank you Allida and Christine!!

Perfect complement to our wedding day!

Black, White, and Steel were a phenomenal addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. My Wife surprised me with their services and I couldn’t have been more impressed with their talent and professionalism. Our guests raved about how unique of an experience they provided.

Great experience!

Christine & Allida were wonderful to work with! They played beautiful music at our ceremony and we loved that they played modern day songs that people recognized. It was a super easy process, plus they were very well priced compared to other ceremony music I had looked at. They far exceeded what we were looking for!

Classy, Contemporary & Truly Special - This Musician Duo Is a MUST Book!

I used the team at Black, White & Steel for my wedding ceremony on November 14, 2020 in Baltimore, MD. We had a unique situation with the pandemic and scaled down to only having our ceremony + cocktail hour with our parents and wedding party. BWS were extremely flexible with our changing plans and made our event magical. The entire evening they played songs that were up our alley (mostly contemporary and even learned a Frank Ocean song for us!) and it really set a romantic/magical vibe for our intimate event.
I really can't say enough great things about BWS. I'll never forget walking down the aisle to their version of Halo by Beyonce - I now prefer their version because it made that part of the day just so special. Highly Recommend!

Beautiful, professional, and super easy to work with.

This is probably the easiest vendor I worked with. Their music is absolutely breathtaking. I also purchased two custom songs which sounded incredible and just added such a highlight to my day. My custom requests were a little unique but they did it no problem and it sounded amazing. They are absolute professionals. Very little guidance given and they were timely. Pricing is more than reasonable and they will sound amazing. I got multiple compliments on their performances and wish I booked them for longer. I can’t stress how happy we were with them and just how easy they were to work with.
