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!

Amazing Acoustic Guitar

The acoustic guitar music provided during the service and cocktail hour was incredible. Our guitarist played so beautifully and provided the perfect music for my son's wedding. The communication with April was phenomanal and they really listened to what we wanted and delivered. I highly recommend them!

A truly special touch to our wedding ceremony!

Dean's Duets made my day so special. If you are considering whether or not to have Dean's Duets to be a part of your special day; DO IT!! You will not be disappointed.
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!
Dean's Duet's as a whole were so easy to work with. They helped plan every detail of the ceremony with us. They were so attentive and had such strong attention to detail, and it helped me feel at ease. They are trustworthy and know exactly what they were doing! They were so kind and helpful throughout the process.
I recommend them to everyone I know now for weddings and any event they could be a part of!! I couldn't be more grateful for them for being a part of my special day! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!
