Frequently Asked Questions

What types of events do you perform at?

While we specialize in weddings, we also perform at private events, corporate functions, proposals, anniversaries, and more. If you’re planning something special, we’re happy to be part of it.

What instruments are available in your ensemble?

Our core group includes violins, viola, and cello but we also have available in our network pianists, harpists, guitarists, and ukulele performers. We offer solo performances, string duos, trios, and full quartets, depending on your vision and budget.

Can we choose the music for our ceremony or event?

Absolutely! We have a large repertoire that includes classical, pop, movie themes, jazz, and more. We’ll help you choose songs or take special requests

Will you learn a specific song for us?

Yes, we offer custom arrangements for special songs not in our repertoire. Please provide your request at least 2–4 weeks in advance. A small arranging fee may apply for ensembles like duet or larger.

Do you perform at outdoor weddings?

Yes — we absolutely love outdoor weddings and events! However, due to the delicate nature of string instruments, we do require adequate cover or shelter to protect us and our instruments from potential rain or harsh sun.

Unlike brass or wind instruments, violins, violas, and cellos are made of fine wood with a light varnish that offers little protection against moisture — even less than what you’d find on a guitar. These instruments are also held together with water-soluble glue, not nails or bolts, making them especially vulnerable to weather damage.

We do our best to bring instruments suited for outdoor use, but we kindly ask that you have a backup plan in place in case of inclement weather. This ensures the safety of the instruments and the quality of your performance.

How much do you charge?

Pricing depends on the ensemble size, performance duration, and any special arrangements. Most clients spend around $3,000 for a wedding but we have services that start as low as $350. Please contact us for a personalized quote.

How long do you usually play?

For weddings, we usually begin by performing 15–30 minutes before the ceremony as guests arrive — this is known as the prelude. During the ceremony itself, we typically play for key moments such as the bridal party processional, bridal entrance, and the couple’s recessional.

Some clients also choose to include live music during the cocktail hour or dinner, which typically adds about an hour of performance time.

While we don’t usually play throughout the entire ceremony while the officiant is speaking, many couples make the most of our presence by having us perform during unity rituals, vow exchanges, or other special moments. Some even choose to include a mini concert during the event as a unique way to stay grounded and present on their big day. Here are some additional ideas to make the most of our presence: Unity Rituals

Do you need amplification or bring your own sound equipment?

For small to mid-sized venues, our acoustic sound is usually perfect. For larger spaces or outdoor events, we can bring amplification usually at no extra cost—please inquire during booking.

Do you offer virtual or livestreamed performances?

Yes! We can perform virtually for intimate remote weddings or private celebrations

Do you perform at LGBTQ weddings?

Of course! At Luxe Harmony, love is love and we want to celebrate all marriages!

What do you need to have provided to you to play at my event

We do our best to be flexible, but certain setup requirements are essential for string musicians.

For violinists, violists, and cellists to perform comfortably and at their best, we require chairs without arms and adequate space to allow free bow movement. The bow must move back and forth smoothly to produce sound, and tight spaces can interfere with our performance.

For a solo musician, a 4×4 ft area is sufficient.
For a string quartet, we need four armless chairs and at least 10×10 ft of performance space.

If you’re unsure about the space at your venue, we’re happy to advise!

Is one violinist enough for my event?

It depends. If you are having a small event, with less than 20 people, your guests will likely be able to hear your violinist without amplification. However, if you are having a larger wedding, we recommend adding amplification or more musicians. In general, a solo violinist is a great choice for a marriage proposal or anniversary but for a wedding, we recommend at least a duet or trio. The string quartet is what most brides choose. And if you really want to make an impression, ask about our 8-piece orchestra!

Do I need to tip my musician?

While tips are always appreciated for our job well done, we ensure our musicians are paid sufficiently so that tips are welcome but not necessary

Do you attend rehearsals?

Yes — and it’s often a crucial step that’s overlooked.

Attending your wedding rehearsal allows us to coordinate the exact timing of your processional, ensuring that you and your bridal party know precisely when to begin and end your walk in relation to the music. This is offered as an additional service, but it’s a valuable part of creating a seamless, well-timed ceremony.
