Deans’ Duets played for Summer and Alex’s outdoor wedding ceremony at Duke Mansion in Charlotte, North Carolina!

Kathryn and Keven’s December wedding at Jubilee Farms in Chester, South Carolina was the perfect way to round out the last month of the year! The chilly outdoor wedding with 80 guests was held at the beautiful wedding farm. With the weather forecast of high 59 on the Saturday of the wedding, we couldn’t be more excited for the couple’s wedding day!

Kate and Matt’s March Merrimon-Wynne House wedding in Raleigh, NC was a bright and sunny day for Deans’ Duets’s violin cello duet.

Deans’ Duets’ co-founders, April & Megan McConnell, started playing the violin at a very young age through the Suzuki method. After years of playing the violin and their love of weddings, it has continued to be such an honor to be a part of so many couples’ wedding days.

Does the weather affect our ability to play? The answer is: it depends. However, we are more than happy to work with you and your inclement weather plan.

The grounds at Camp Merrie Woode in Sapphire, NC, boasts natural beauty and mountain views for what is a traditional wilderness camp for girls. But boy did it also make the perfect backdrop for Sara Ellis and Trey's October wedding celebration!

Allison and Danny chose the beautiful Dairy Barn in Ft. Mill, South Carolina, to celebrate their wedding day! We loved working with this couple and their planner, Hall and Webb, to bring their music vision to life!

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!

Carrie-Grace and Hunter reached out to us last year about providing a solo violinist for their wedding in Dothan, Alabama. We loved getting to know them and hearing about their vision for their wedding.

Sunday was our first time at High Grove Estate in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Apparently this is a big up and coming event venue in the Raleigh area, and it seems like they’re doing a ton of weddings. It’s a gorgeous venue with a lot of versatility.

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.

At the end of the day, the wedding is about being married - not about the wedding day!

Yes - this is so true. BUT…. Wait a minute! The wedding day is a big deal! As wedding vendors, that's our job... to provide the best wedding day you could possibly imagine.

Heather and Chad were originally scheduled to be married on May 9 in Banner Elk, NC. They booked us back in early 2019 as a violin and cello duet for their ceremony! Little did we know how much would change between then and their wedding day.

In 2011, Madilyn began violin lessons in my studio. It has been amazing to see the talented violinist she has become.

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.

April played keyboard solos for Andy & Ashleigh's wedding in Mooresville on Sunday! It was our first time at Johnson Carriage House. What a great place!!
