Angie and Josh’s outdoor wedding ceremony at Duke Mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina was held in the perfect intimate courtyard setting on the sunny September day.

Interested in booking our violinist and dj package? Great!! Do you want the violin for ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or reception? Or all of it?! The sound of the violin along with the DJ allows for a wide variety of music versatility and song selections for our clients wanting a live music component of their event without having to choose between a live music and a DJ.

A wedding in Montana? Yes please! This wedding was perfect timing! We had been talking about taking a trip out west in the summer with the kids. What better way to incorporate a family vacation into doing something that we love for our couples.

As soon as our couple booked with us, we started planning our trip!

Gillian and Matt’s June 2022 wedding at Biltmore Estate - Diana in Asheville, NC was so special! We provided a string quartet (violin, violin, viola, & cello) for the couple’s ceremony and cocktail hour.

Deans’ Duets string quartet played for Meredith and Tanner’s ceremony and cocktail hour surrounded by gorgeous wedding day details with palm trees blowing in the wind.

Virginia and Jakob's May Wedding at The Farm at Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, NC was a joyous day in which Deans’ Duets solo violinist played for the couple’s ceremony. The couple had around 80 guests in attendance for their special day with their ceremony held in The Orchard House!

Kate and Matt’s March Merrimon-Wynne House wedding in Raleigh, NC was a bright and sunny day for Deans’ Duets’s violin cello duet.

We loved Lexie & Preston’s black & white December wedding day! What better way to end the year and begin the 2023 year than a wedding day in Lexington, NC celebrating with family and friends. With the chilly winter day, our violinist and guitarist played indoors for ceremony.

Lauren & Matthew’s wedding ceremony at Hotel Domestique in Travelers Rest, South Carolina was accompanied by Deans’ Duet’s string quartet with modern song selections fit their black and white modern theme! Working alongside Mikayla Thomas as the couple’s coordinator made the day run all the more smoothly as 100 guests gathered outdoors to gather for the big day.

We love playing for couple’s wedding days, events, parties, and especially the showcases at Merrimon-Wynne in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Merrimon-Wynne Spring Showcase on 4.26.23 was stunning and the atmosphere was beyond elegant.

Our violin & harp duet played at Paige and Taylor's October wedding at Crooked River in Hiltons, Virginia. Their outdoor ceremony with around 100 guests was beautiful by the riverside as the weather called for blue skies and no rain. We loved working with their amazing vendor team and coordinator Annette Templeton. The bride asked that we play modern songs while guests were being seated with traditional songs beginning at the start of the ceremony as the timeline of events transitioned. A part from the ceremony music, we loved the versatility that was provided to the musicians as we played a variety of our favorite song recommendations.

The Greenbrier has been on our bucket list for a while…. a LONG while! My husband (Jeremiah) and I visited the Greenbrier back in 2011 before we had kids. We went on the tour of the bunker and enjoyed the gorgeous grounds. It such a unique place, and we loved it! I told him that I wanted to play a wedding here one day. It was just so elegant and in another state, that I didn’t really think that would happen.

The Sciurba’s October wedding day at North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville, NC was accompanied by a violin guitar duet for their ceremony and cocktail hour. We loved playing for Kaitlyn and Joseph’s special day as their day not only was surrounded by their family and friends, but also luscious greenery and gardens.

Morgan and Shaun were married on a warm July day at Carolina Grove in Hillsborough, NC where Deans’ Duets’s violin guitar duet performed for ceremony and cocktail hour.

Abigail’s dad contacted us over a year before her wedding date! We discussed their vision for the ceremony, and he mentioned a black and white theme with a 40’s Rat Pack vibe. Hotel Concord has this exact vibe with their restored black and white floors, beautiful bar area, open marble spaces. The venue with the theme was a perfect fit. We love when the theme fits the venue! Abigail’s dad even requested that we include a black harp. Only one of our four harpists plays a black harp (the others are brown), so we immediately reserved the date with our harpist.

Rhonda (mother of the bride) called us 15 months ago asking about booking a violinist. She had heard Daniel Jang’s YouTube videos and wanted that vibe for her daughter’s wedding ceremony at the Magnolia Venue in Pigeon Forge, TN. We discussed the differences between a solo violin, a plugged in a violin, an electric violin, a violin playing with tracks, and a violin playing with a DJ. All of these selections are slightly different as they have different price points and convey distinct vibes depending on the vision for one’s wedding day.
