We had a flute, violin, and cello trio for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Barbara was easy to work with and provided very helpful input!! Would definitely recommend Continuo- they did a fantastic job and our guests loved their music!!
Barbara was great and easy to work with! She made awesome recommendations for music and communicated well between her musicians and me. We booked a harpist for our ceremony and pianist for our reception. Both musicians were great and got a lot of compliments from our guests.
From the very beginning, Barbara was so helpful in helping us find exactly what we were looking to create through our Parisian-styled wedding. She was very accessible throughout the process, and gave great music recommendations! We ended up booking a harpist for our ceremony and a string trio for our cocktail hour, and our guests absolutely loved how they elevated their experience. We can't thank them enough for being such a wonderful vendor, and we would absolutely work with them again!
From the start, Barbara was helpful, friendly, and passionate about what she does. She asked us lots of questions about what we wanted, offered tons of suggestions, and in the end helped us to choose the perfect duo and songs for our ceremony music. The musicians are very reasonably priced and the music was beautiful and well worth it!
I used Continuo Music for my ceremony, and they were great! Barbara was so easy to work with, and she and her musicians helped to create a wonderful atmosphere for our wedding. I provided her with a list of songs I wanted them to play, and she easily told which ones she would be able to play. She also provided me with suggestions. Very pleased!
Barbara was so friendly and easy to work with. The musicians (violinist and cellist) were so gifted and it added such a level of elegance to my ceremony and cocktail hour. Highly recommend.
Barbara and Continuo were such a pleasure to work with! They were such professionals and nailed all the song timing. Their beautiful music truly set the tone for our ceremony and cocktail hour! Highly recommend!
We hired a violinist, Rachel Handman, through Continuo Music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. She was wonderful. She played beautifully, and gave us happy memories of her playing. She worked with us to create a wonderful ceremony playlist and learned a new song for us as well. We greatly appreciated her help.
We hired a violin-guitar duet from Continuo for our wedding prelude and ceremony, and are so happy we did! The impact of having live musicians instead of a recording was incredible. Our wedding was in a fairly remote location in NYS, but Barbara (the owner) was extremely accommodating and charged a very reasonable travel fee to send the musicians I requested from CT. I unfortunately was "hidden away" for much of the musicians' playing time, but our guests said everything was wonderful. We highly recommend Continuo!
Barbara was so professional throughout the entire planning process. She was quick to respond and gave amazing advice that helped us feel confident ahead of the wedding day. We had a trio of musicians who played music for our ceremony (Barbara was part of the group!) and a pianist who played during our cocktail hour. The music set the tone for the entire wedding day and we could not be happier with how beautiful and memorable it was for us and the guests. Barbara knew our DJ too so setting up sounds and communicating to ensure everything would work went so smoothly. My husband and I were so pleased with everything we recommend Barbara and her musicians to anyone looking for a classic, elegant theme for their ceremony music.
Working with Barbara on our wedding ceremony music was such a great experience! She knows exactly how to create memorable moments. She quickly responds when you have questions and takes the time to ensure you feel everything is exactly how you want it to be for your special day. I highly recommend Continuo Music and would work with Barbara for other events where music is a must!
Continuo music did a great job for our wedding. The musicians were talented and communication was good leading up to our wedding date. The only things I would change was that the bridal entrance song started up too early, before I was at the top of the aisle. Also, the cocktail hour was moved under a tent due to rain, so the musicians set up inside our reception area instead of under the tent, where they could not be heard at all. Other than that, I think they selected great songs, added a really nice touch to the ceremony, and I would recommend them to others.
We were very happy we hired a Continuo duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour! They played classical music during the ceremony and some fun Irish music for our cocktail hour. They were prompt and professional and sounded great. We received a lot of compliments on our music, and would recommend them to anyone!
What a beautiful touch Continuo added to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Barbara is so wonderful to work with and really makes sure that your vision comes to life. My guests are still in awe of how gorgeous this band played. It added the perfect element of romance. Such talent!!! Highly recommend.
I contacted Barbara about two months out of my wedding date for a vocalist. She was very prompt with finding me a singer who was not only fabulous and talented, but she was also familiar with the church and staff. Barbara was very prompt with her emails and communicated well through the process.
I have attended several events where Continuo Music performed and was so pleased that they were available to play for my son's wedding. Their music was the perfect backdrop to a special occasion and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any type of event. They were skilled and professional and I appreciated Mrs. Wyton's helpful suggestions about musical things that I might not have thought of myself.
"Wow, they blew us away at our wedding ceremony! We highly recommend!!"
Barbara provided wonderful, high-quality, professional entertainment. Continuo Music is a delight to deal with. Highly recommend.
The Continuo Trio was a great addition to our wedding day. The music was perfect and we would highly recommend them. Barbara was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with.
I was in the wedding party for my friend's wedding in December and the music was just terrific! The musicians were extremely talented and professional! If you're planning a wedding, you should check out Continuo Music.
I have worked with and heard many of Barb Wyton's ensembles over many years. I consider the variety and quality of musical offerings by Continuo Music to be among the best in the state. Barb is a warm, reliable, flexible and professional person to do business with. "If music be the food of love, play on!"
I attended a gorgeous wedding with Continuo Music performing both classical music during the wedding ceremony and jazz at the reception. The ceremonial music was romantic and perfect. The jazz ensemble at the reception had everybody dancing and enjoying the wonderful celebration. I would absolutely use and recommend Continuo Music for a wedding! ( or any other occasion)I know that they are very wonderful to work with and offer many options to make a couple's special day just that much more special.
Barbara played flute during our wedding ceremony and did a wonderful job. She was very responsive to all of our emails and was flexible in terms of playing the music we wanted. Barbara learned all of the songs that we requested without a problem and made our ceremony that much more special. It was a pleasure having Barbara play at our wedding. Highly Recommend !!!
Barbara and James played during our daughter and son in law's wedding ceremony, the music was beautiful, and it added so much to the occasion. I would recommend them without reservation.
Continuo was a terrific source for musicians for my daughter's wedding. The ceremony violinist and the reception combo were outstanding, and they weren't deterred by hurricane winds and rain. Barbara Wyton at Continuo is an invaluable resource who made this part of wedding planning a piece of (wedding) cake!
I had a wonderful experience with Continuo Music. Barbara was communicative and helped me pick the perfect music for my wedding ceremony. The musicians were excellent and were on time! My guests were extremely impressed with the music and we couldn't have been
happier.
We used them for our wedding at the Waterview in Monroe, CT. The violinist played before & during our ceremony. We received many compliments on his playing. He helped us arrange the music & made suggestions on songs he thought would work well. He was able to play songs by The Beatles, Elvis & many classical songs. Barbara Wyton from Continuo was very helpful in setting things up & always responded promptly to my emails.
