Meaningful music for your wedding day

We bring your dream ambience to life with songs that tell your love story.

Let's start here!

Hi! We’re Ruth & Andrew, a professional violinist and cellist based in Grand Rapids.

  • We are a classically trained musicians based in Grand Rapids with over 15 years of wedding experience. (Fun fact: we’re also a married couple who gets such a kick out of working together!)

  • We provide live string duos or quartets for weddings and events, creating a whimsical and elegant ambience for your guests. Each song we perform is tailored to your preferences.

  • While we are classically trained, we play a wide variety of genres, including pop, folk, film, vintage, and worship. Whether you’d like something Bridgerton-inspired, cinematic, or classic, we can’t wait to put together a unique setlist for you.

  • Live music creates a cinematic experience that recordings cannot replicate. We've spent years practicing ways to arrange your music tastefully, blending the beginnings and ends of each piece to fit the flow of your ceremony. Also - we’re fun to watch! :) Our joy shows when we play, and for good reason… These are some of the most important songs of your life.

We get it: music might not be at the top of your to-do list. Most of wedding planning focuses on how things look.

But music evokes feeling.
