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 Barbar...

a (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 w...

as 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.

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 to...

p 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.
