Season & timing
Sunset ceremonies are the draw here. Timing the ceremony and cocktail hour around golden hour is worth planning with your musicians.
Pick the size for the moment
A solo violinist or duo suits small ceremonies; a trio or quartet gives a fuller sound for larger ceremonies, cocktail hours and formal receptions.
Protect the instruments outdoors
Sunset ceremonies are the draw here. Timing the ceremony and cocktail hour around golden hour is worth planning with your musicians. String players need shade, a stable surface and protection from direct sun and rain, so we confirm these with your El Dorado Hills venue in advance.
Order custom songs early
Most ensembles play a deep library, and many will arrange a song you love for your processional. Custom arrangements usually need 6–8 weeks.
Options we book
Solo violin or cello
Intimate ceremonies and small spaces.
Duo or trio
A fuller sound at a moderate budget.
Quartet
The full classic sound for ceremonies and formal events.
