Our musicians had a great time playing at Eliana and Rey’s November wedding day at Big Chill in Charlotte, North Carolina!

Deans’ Duets played for Diana and James’s wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Lioncrest at Biltmore Estate!

Michael and Ashley chose the prettiest pink details and a little shimmer to highlight their wedding celebration in April!! We were thrilled to be a part of their big day as they said "we do!" at Magnolia Woods Events in Huntersville, NC!

Coordinators are literal super heroes. They save the day MANY times throughout the day, on wedding day! They’re amazing, and we love them! They make our jobs easier, and they make the jobs of all of the other vendors easier! Coordinators hold vendors accountable. They fix their mistakes. They keep them on time and on task. They tie up loose ends. And they do about a million other things. You'll find that we often make shameless plugs for coordinators and beg our clients to hire them, because... it's worth it!

The question we get from brides and coordinators alike is… How can I avoid potential hiccups with my music and ensure that everything goes according to plan?

Even in earlier years when Covid was not an issue, there were a few key things that we always recommend to help your ceremony music to go smoothly on wedding day. Here are our suggestions...........

We were so excited to provide violin and guitar duets in Pine Knolls Shores for the ceremony and cocktail hour music on the beach. As the day grew closer, the weather forecast looked more and more perfect. The couple rented a beautiful beach house as their venue and celebrated with their closest family and friends right on the beach in the sand.

Outdoor weddings are the best, aren’t they? There is just something about having the openness and fresh air and nature all around to set the tone for this incredibly special day in your life, whether it is up on a mountain, down by a quiet river in your backyard, or in a spectacular garden venue.

The Farm at Old Edwards Inn is a dream venue. We play here a lot and every single experience is breathtaking.

I arrived at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens in Belmont, NC, on a Sunday afternoon to play violin solos for Tiffany and Fred's wedding. The Gardens is such a beautiful place for a wedding, especially since it is so different with all the greenery it offers.

Miranda and Tyler were married on a Sunday at the always classic Ballantyne Hotel.

Loved the lighting of the ceremony space.

We played violin cello duets for the ceremony music in Charlotte.

Sarah and Sam were married in this gorgeous ceremony at the Duke Mansion in Charlotte, NC.

The Duke Mansion in Charlotte is the ultimate destination for classic and sophisticated weddings. They only accept 25 weddings a year, so couples have to plan early!

Our String Quartet played music for the ceremony & cocktail hour of Chris and Erica at the beautiful Grace Episcopal Church in Asheville, NC!

Jessica & Matthew rented this lake house at Lake Wylie, SC, for their intimate family wedding. They did a DIY-wedding right! Everything was beautiful, but they were still relaxed and focused on each other. That's not always easy to accomplish.

Deans' Duets provided a trio (violin/cello/piano) for the ceremony and reception.

Ceremony music sets the mood for your big day, and we think it’s a very important decision! This guide walks you through each decision, step by step…

Our first wedding was David & Michelle's at Hound Ears Club in Boone, NC. Michelle heard us play at her best friend's wedding and then contacted us for her own ceremony! We played violin duets for the ceremony and also played along with a talented singer and guitarist performing "Love Never Fails" during the ceremony.

We played for Annie & Phillip's beautiful wedding at Camp Yonahnoka last weekend. The Eseeola Lodge's team did an amazing job with the flowers. It was so windy that we thought they would be strewn all over the site, but not one flower blew away!
