Reviews of The Archbold Duo

I would recommend that you book Archbold Duo if you want beautiful, classical music played at the ceremony or reception. They are incredibly professional and talented. I never had any trouble getting in contact with them, and they played exactly what I wanted at the ceremony. I always dreamed of having classical music played live during my ceremony, and Archbold Duo made those dreams a reality. Thank you!!

It was a pleasure working with Tim and Karen! They provided cello, flute, and vocal music for our ceremony. Karen was very helpful prior to the wedding and always got back to me quickly. They were also very flexible in song selection and made sure we heard our favorite parts of the songs. Compared to other vendors I researched, Tim and Karen offered very professional and beautiful music at a great price!

As a musician myself, it was very important to me to have excellent music for the ceremony. We've all been to weddings where the 98 year old organist trudges her way through something that might be Amazing Grace, and as a musician I just couldn't handle that.

I wanted great music, but had a tight budget and the Archbold Duo was perfect. The were extremely easy to work with, very reasonably priced, and super flexible. They were open to playing whatever I wanted, but also have an extensive list of suggestions on their demo CD. They were also willing to arrange pieces that I wanted them to play, like my school's Alma Mater. Karen was wonderfully helpful and responsive throughout the planning process, and I quickly felt confident that the music would be great.

I'd strongly recommend them to EVERYONE!
