Perfect ceremony music
We hired a solo violinist to play for my wedding ceremony. She was incredibly talented and helped make my wedding ceremony perfect. Her beautiful rendition of A Thousand Years brought tears to my husbands eyes as I prepared to walk down the isle. Even better then I could have imagined! -

Unparalleled communication and talent
We recently had a church wedding July 2025 and this group was referred by a family friend. Barbara was absolutely amazing! As an overwhelmed bride she took the reins and helped organize the music with the organist and singer at the church. Communication was top notch, yeven when I added last minute songs hours before the wedding. Most of all they were such a talented group and made my wedding ceremony absolutely perfect. I highly recommend them for your event. Thank you! -

Beautiful Music and Experience Working with Continuo
From the start, Barbara was helpful, friendly, and passionate about what she does. She asked us lots of questions about what we wanted, offered tons of suggestions, and in the end helped us to choose the perfect duo and songs for our ceremony music. The musicians are very reasonably priced and the music was beautiful and well worth it! -

INCREDIBLE! You MUST use this vendor!!!
I worked with Barbara from Continue Music after we had met at a Vendor Event at the Waterview. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with and I am so incredibly happy to have met her!! The live string trio I hired elevated my wedding tenfold and was an absolute talk of the wedding!!!! I have some pretty random song requests and they worked with me so well and accommodated me! They were so incredible and talented! I would 10/10 suggest working with them, it’s pretty well priced and I would suggest them to anyone!!! -

Lovely addition to our ceremony/cocktail hour
Such a wonderful addition to our day. They were absolutely professional and even were able to compose a song special for us that meant the world to my husband and I. Barbara was on point and easy to work with. -

Beautiful Ceremony Musicians
We hired a violin-guitar duet from Continuo for our wedding prelude and ceremony, and are so happy we did! The impact of having live musicians instead of a recording was incredible. Our wedding was in a fairly remote location in NYS, but Barbara (the owner) was extremely accommodating and charged a very reasonable travel fee to send the musicians I requested from CT. I unfortunately was "hidden away" for much of the musicians' playing time, but our guests said everything was wonderful. We highly recommend Continuo! -

Professional and elegant
Barbara was so professional throughout the entire planning process. She was quick to respond and gave amazing advice that helped us feel confident ahead of the wedding day. We had a trio of musicians who played music for our ceremony (Barbara was part of the group!) and a pianist who played during our cocktail hour. The music set the tone for the entire wedding day and we could not be happier with how beautiful and memorable it was for us and the guests. Barbara knew our DJ too so setting up sounds and communicating to ensure everything would work went so smoothly. My husband and I were so pleased with everything we recommend Barbara and her musicians to anyone looking for a classic, elegant theme for their ceremony music. -

Ceremony Music
Working with Barbara on our wedding ceremony music was such a great experience! She knows exactly how to create memorable moments. She quickly responds when you have questions and takes the time to ensure you feel everything is exactly how you want it to be for your special day. I highly recommend Continuo Music and would work with Barbara for other events where music is a must! -

Barbara was super knowledgable in determining what songs would be best during the ceremony. She also kept me on task too, which was helpful in wedding planning. The musicians were terrific during both ceremony and cocktail hour. -

Barbara and her team at Continuo made my brother's wedding a truly special event. She worked with us to put together a great trio that was perfect for the space and the selected music. The musicians were highly proficient and skilled. Continuo was very accommodating in delivering exactly what we needed for this special day. -

We added a string trio to our church wedding service. They added such a touch of class and for a very reasonable cost. They worked well with other church musicians we used including our son who played the string bass. We were so glad we chose Continuo Music and we would absolutely use them again for any other special musical occasions we have. -

They made the process very easy, you name songs you want and they tell you if they can do it. We ended up having to change the time of our ceremony and they were flexible and it was not a problem. We had guitar and cello and they were great, I wish I could have heard more of them. -

I contacted Barbara about two months out of my wedding date for a vocalist. She was very prompt with finding me a singer who was not only fabulous and talented, but she was also familiar with the church and staff. Barbara was very prompt with her emails and communicated well through the process. -

Thank you to Barbara at Continuo Music for provinding the perfect music for my in-laws 50th anniversary party. She recommended a trio of violin, guitar and upright bass that played both unobtrusive background music during dinner and all the dance music requests we asked for. The look on my mother-in-law's face when she and my father-in-law danced to "There Will Never be Another You", their first wedding dance, was priceless. -

It was such a pleasure working with Barbara on the music for my son's wedding - she is a total professional! Details were planned and implemented to perfection - the trio even learned some special Irish requests! And the music was absolutely wonderful! I'd recommend Continuo to anyone! -

Continuo Music proved to be the "icing on the cake" at my wedding! The musicians were professional and incredibly well prepared. Everything about my dealing with Continuo was outstanding and it helped to make my special day so much more beautiful. I have used Continuo's musicians at other events since my wedding because of my wedding experience. The music choices and level of talent can not be surpassed in my opinion! I highly recommend Continuo music for any celebration! -

Both of the musicians were excellent. The pianist kept asking if I needed any help which I did. I had to take some gifts out of the car. The were both very talented and would ask for them again in the future. Everyone kept asking me where I found them and of course I said Continuo Music. -

Good, Not Great
I can't say how I felt about my violinist, Larry, as I never got to meet him. I feel like it would have been nice and beneficial to meet and speak directly to the musician you book with via ZOOM or telephone before the wedding as you do typically do with all your vendors, but that was not offered. I also feel each musician should have independent samples of their music to listen to or the company should allow you to hear your chosen music before the day of your event to ensure your satisfaction with techniques and tempos. I paid for the sheet music to Come Alive from the Greatest Showman but it sounded like the same phrase was repeated and rushed. Not sure if it was not well-rehearsed ahead of time, but the other 2 songs turned out okay. There was a lot of double stops used and I feel like it would have been cleaner and sweeter-sounding if he just focused on playing it simple and straight, but I am a musician myself so I am going to be a little more critical than most. I am sure he is a skilled musician..but I stand by what I said..it is important to hear the music before it is delivered to make sure everything gets performed to the couple's satisfaction.
Overall, the transitions were smooth and I was told guests enjoyed the selections he performed as they waited for the ceremony to begin. Continuo Music also had the most reasonable pricing for what we requested. We appreciate your time and service and we hope you consider our constructive feedback for future weddings. -

Very disappointed
I was looking for a string quartet for my wedding and decided on continuo. I am a trained classical musician and really wanted the class of live music just for the ceremony of my wedding. So the first thing I tell them are the exact three pieces I want, two were standard quartet literature, but one, that my husband chose, was from a movie he really liked. I even found a link for them the order the string quartet arrangement for this piece. They say “yeah, definitely” I sign the contract, deal is done. Right? No because two weeks before my wedding date they email me saying they can’t get the music and I’m just going to have to settle for something else. My husband was the one to pay for the music and he didn’t even get the piece he chose! It only got worse. They show up to our venue the day of and I had them agree in emails that they would play outside so everyone there could hear the music (outside ceremony). The day of they REFUSE the play outside and play inside, facing the ceremony, with closed windows and doors. I couldn’t even hear them myself. I understand string instruments are temperature sensitive, but I wouldn’t have hired them is I knew they were going to be divi about their instruments. Then, after they play my ceremony and no one can hear them, the have the nerve to start picking at my dessert bar before any guests have even had dinner! No one asked me, just started loading their plates. My wedding was honestly amazing, but I could have saved a lot of time and money by not hiring them. THIS is the reason why classical musicians don’t get jobs. -
