lovely music for your
ceremony and reception

We're very pleased you're considering our music for your wedding celebration; this is just about our favorite kind of work, and we're still in touch with many of the folks whose marriages we helped celebrate.

We play traditional Celtic music-- the old bardic "by ear and by heart" repertoire from Ireland, Scotland, Wales & Cape Breton. Leanne plays Celtic harp-- a warm-toned 36 string Dusty Strings-- and Tim plays a Wheatstone concertina, which is a reed instrument about the size of a cantelope, made of ebony and black leather, that was invented in the 1800s for chamber music. Our music is fine as a duo, and when our friend Berta Frank joins us on silver flute and pennywhistle, she adds rich harmonies and textures. We have recordings that can let you hear what we sound like.

We can play indoors or out (weather permitting). We take up surprisingly little room, for the amount of music we make.

Our fee schedule varies with how many musicians you want, how much travel is involved, and how long and in how many locations we play. Tell us what you're thinking about, and we'll give you a reasonable, straightforward quote for as many options as you like. Here's what that fee will cover:

• If we're playing for your ceremony, we'll arrive an hour and a half early to set up and tune, play while people arrive, and during as much of the ceremony as you like. We'll invite you to our house ahead of time, serve you some food, and play for you, and help you pick out just the right music from our repertoire for you. (Other options are available if this proves impractical, but it can make a nice, relaxing interlude in an otherwise hectic schedule.)
  
• If we're playing background music for cocktails or dinner, the basic fee covers up to two hours of music, travel, and any necessary amplification.

We often play for both-- ceremony and part of the reception-- and offer a package fee.

Again, we're glad you're considering our music for this important day in your life. We would take delight in helping add to its beauty and harmony.
