Your wedding ceremony could open with acoustic guitar and cello through Mr., whose duo sound blends intimacy with classical influences. Douglas and Arthur bring experience across weddings, orchestral work and the wider music industry to their musical partnership. Their approach can put a classical twist on seventies rock, giving familiar material a different instrumental character. You could explore that blend for the ceremony or consider a pop and rock direction for the reception, depending on what you want to hear together. For couples drawn to strings who also love older rock, this offers a personal point of connection.

Good to know
What to expect
Guitar and cello, which is not a pairing you hear often, and that's the appeal. Seventies rock gets rewritten with a string part underneath it, so a song you've known for forty years arrives with a different weight. Douglas and Arthur both come from classical and orchestral backgrounds, so the arrangements are properly written rather than improvised around. It moves easily between the formal moments and the relaxed ones, which is why it works for a ceremony and a reception in the same day.
On the day
They bring their own audio gear, speakers, microphones and stands included. A standard 240V power point is recommended. Outdoors, they'll need shade or a canopy over the playing spot, out of direct sun and rain. Allow an hour before the event starts for a sound check, and make sure there's easy access for unloading close to where they're playing so gear isn't carried halfway across a property.
