Modern Elegance


I can’t say enough great things about Deans’ Duet. Our entire family is very musical, and my daughter plays an instrument, piano, guitar, and has been a soloist and member of many choral and acappella groups. So we knew choosing the music would be an integral part of the wedding planning. I was worried about how we would get the right music outside on top of a mountain in the fall, but Deans’ Duet was the perfect choice for helping make my daughter’s dream wedding come true. Even though we went with the classic string quartet, having so many instrument group options was so nice when deciding. I never thought string versions of rock songs could sound so amazing but their expansive repertoire allowed us to incorporate all the music styles important to my daughter and our family. From the tv/movie theme prelude to the hard rock entrance and exit to the classical/hymn cocktail hour, these talented musicians helped make this day just as we all envisioned, as well as elegant and special for everyone there. They were prompt, courteous, and helpful in all communication and I really enjoyed working with them!

Excellent choice for your special event.

We hired Dean’s Duets to provide music for our wedding ceremony and happy hour, we couldn’t have been happier with this decision. The communication leading up to the event was prompt and they provided tools to make our musical selection easy. Our guests commented on how impressed they were with our musician’s talent, they made our special day even more special.

Organized a surprise for my husband 2 days before the wedding

April & Deans' Duets were absolutely incredible. Two days before our wedding, I reached out to see if we could play a surprise song for my husband as he walked up the aisle. My husband was absolutely THRILLED! April sent frequent emails to see if we needed help with anything throughout the planning process. The music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was absolutely stunning. My friends loved that we did classical music during the ceremony and popular music for cocktail hour. Everyone thought the string quartet was just beautiful. Deans' Duets is so great to work with and they are so talented. ABSOLUTELY book them for your events - they are amazing!

Loved Working with Deans' Duets!

From my inquiry, Deans' Duets was so wonderful to work with! Their quick communication and professionalism was unmatched. We booked a solo violinist for our wedding ceremony and he was amazing! They also helped curate the perfect list of music for before, during and after our ceremony. You won't regret booking them for any of your needs!

Amazing Solo Violinist!

April was amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and this was indeed the easiest part of my wedding planning because her & her team make it so easy! You can feel April's passion for music and for insuring every detail is perfect and that your expectations are all met or exceeded. We chose a solo violinst for our ceremony at Pretty Place Chapel. Hannah is very talented and played our song list beautifully. Many guests commented on how that added such elegance to the venue & ceremony. We couldn't be happier with our decision and highly recommend Dean's Duets for any event!

So Glad We Chose Deans' Duets!

We recently got married and couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Deans' Duets! April was amazing throughout the whole process—super responsive, kind, and helped us choose the perfect solo violinist for our day. They had such a great list of songs to pick from, which made planning so easy.

On the big day, Katie played at our ceremony and was everything we hoped for—professional, incredibly talented, and brought such a beautiful energy to the moment.

If you’re thinking about live music for your wedding, Dean’s Duet is 100% the way to go!

We had a pianist and violinist perform for the ceremony, and they were absolutely amazing. Truly, they exceeded my expectations. They are so talented, and it felt like a dream hearing them play. I couldn't stop crying when I first heard them start playing!

April and her team of musicians are amazing. Highly skilled, flexible, punctual...we could not have asked for more. The guests kept talking about their beautiful music long after they left from the cocktail hour. Will definitely be recommending them to all my clients in the future!
