Violin and Cello Wedding Ceremony Music at the Lyons Farmette, Flute and Strings by CHristen Stephens, Photo by Rouxby Photo

Our violin and cello duo accompanied this romantic wedding ceremony on a rainy August afternoon at the Lyons Farmette. When I arrived, the rain was pouring down in sheets and the thunder boomed over the mountainsides. When it was time to play for the ceremony, the rain had softened to a light sprinkle, and the gardens looked vibrant and green. All the little farm animals ventured from their hiding places to greet the guests as they arrived.

As guests arrived and settled into their seats, we played a prelude of classical favorites blended with contemporary love songs.

The music included Mozart’s Romanza and Menuet from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Handel’s Gavotte in G Major, and the delicate Flower Duet by Delibes. These classical selections were woven together with modern favorites such as La Vie en Rose, Make You Feel My Love, A Sky Full of Stars, and Anne’s Theme from Anne of Green Gables.

From the Bride

“Hiring Christen was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment the violin and cello began to play, it felt like a dream come true. I had always imagined walking down the aisle to live strings, and it was even more magical than I ever hoped. It was an absolute highlight of the day and a memory I will cherish forever. Christen makes the whole experience so personal and special. She meets with you ahead of time so you can hand-pick each song from her incredible repertoire. Also, there are so many different packages to choose from to fit exactly what you envision (we chose violin and cello package). The talent, professionalism, and artistry she brings are simply unmatched. If you’re considering live strings for your wedding, do it and book Christen! She helped create the most beautiful, unforgettable atmosphere for us and our guests, and we can’t recommend her enough :) Thank you again for being part of our special day!”

The ceremony began with the first notes of Lana Del Rey’s romantic and classic Young and Beautiful. Once the wedding party had walked down the aisle, we smoothly transitioned to the bride’s favorite part of the song. This part was more upbeat and joyful, announcing her grand entrance.

After the bride and groom exchanged vows and shared their first kiss as a married couple, our violin and cello duo launched into All You Need Is Love by The Beatles. After that, we segued right into postlude music to keep the energy going as guests began enjoying refreshments for cocktail hour. Our lively cocktail setlist included Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Wildflowers, and Enchanted.

All in all, it was such a charming celebration from beginning to end, and the rain even stayed away for the rest of the evening, leaving unusually crisp and fresh August air in its wake. It was such a joy to help this couple celebrate their love story!
