Violin/Guitar Duo – Wedding Ceremony – William Aiken House

The sophisticated William Aiken House is always a happening venue to play at. It offers the bustling downtown vibe right at your footstep yet it feels private with the dramatic magnolia trees and foliage providing ample shade to the courtyard. The wedding colors were a fun and modern combination of soft pinks, whites, and grays in the flowers and bridesmaids dresses. The music program we performed took on the same contemporary style for the ceremony.

Classical Duo – Wedding Ceremony – The Palmer House

Our Classical String Duo performed on a perfect Saturday afternoon at the Palmer House Bed and Breakfast nestled right on the battery. The ceremony took place on the small lawn which offered privacy and a bit of quiet away from East Bay. The Palmer House is a perfect spot if you are having a smaller more intimate wedding. You can also have the ceremony and reception on the 2nd floor porch as well as inside the parlors which offers unparalleled views of the Charleston harbor.

We performed a traditional classical setlist of songs to fit the traditional ceremony.

Classical Duo – Wedding Ceremony – Founders Hall

 

 

Performing at Founders Hall was a very neat experience. The ultra-modern facility is situated in Charlestowne Landing, 15 minutes from downtown Charleston. The natural materials of the building fit very well with the surroundings of the park. The ceremony took place in the courtyard which was very quaint with soothing sounds of minimalistic water fountains.

The Classical Duo performed mainly a setlist of contemporary selections which matched the style and environment of the wedding.

We enjoyed performing for the Boone Hall wedding this past Saturday. Despite the threatening cloud cover the temperature remained cool with a slight breeze for the ceremony. The vistas of the lime-green marsh made for a quaint and serene ceremony.

Boone Hall features its stately and main house with an expansive front lawn which is very popular for ceremonies. The Cotton Dock is also a very popular venue ideal for ceremonies and receptions.

We performed a lively assortment of traditional selections to fit the traditional program.

Classical Solo Violin – Thomas Bennett House

What a perfect Friday afternoon it was for this wedding ceremony at the classic Bennett House. The Solo Violin was a perfect addition to the small and intimate ceremony scene. This venue is perfect if you are looking for the historic downtown home to get married at.

The line-up of songs had a traditional and a spiritual side to it. Be Thou My Vision is a traditional Irish melody and is a great choice if you are looking for something different. It also works beautifully for the solo violin.
