A brother and sister duo playing French music alongside acoustic pop gives Nyssa and Alex a distinctive wedding repertoire. Acoustic guitar, cello and vocal harmonies can accompany arrivals, with music also offered for the ceremony and reception. They are happy to learn one special song, giving a personal choice a place alongside music for your entrance, signing and exit. You could keep the duo through drinks and dinner, where live background music forms part of their offering. The first gathering after your vows feels a lovely point to hear their harmonies before the reception gets underway.

Good to know
What to expect
Guitar, cello and two voices that have been singing together since childhood. For a ceremony they'll cover the walk down the aisle, the signing of the register and the walk back out, three songs chosen with you. Then live background music while guests are on pre-dinner drinks and photos are being taken, and something quieter through the meal. They'll learn one song that matters to you. Their system can be borrowed for the speeches and for music during their breaks, and they'll record something special for your video if you ask. French songs sit in the repertoire too.
On the day
Everything comes with them: two microphones, the guitar, the cello and two amplifiers. What they need from you is access to power and somewhere covered in case it rains, because a cello and a downpour are a bad combination. Worth thinking about early if the ceremony is outdoors.
Performance options
Bookings run by hours rather than by name. Two or three hours covers the ceremony and canapes, which suits a shorter day or a couple bringing in a DJ later. Four or five hours takes you through into the reception. Six or seven hours covers the ceremony, the canapes and a long stretch of the reception, so the live music carries most of the day without a gap in it.
