Deans' Duets & Quartets

that made me weep during the processional and at our planner's suggestion- we decided to look into it. After one call with April and a quick tour through their youtube and song lists, it was a clear yes. We hired the string trio, and April worked with us to create the perfect setlist, even helping me surprise my husband by arranging his favorite punk song into an incredible piece that they played right before the processional. They were so responsive and accommodating, and they were the perfect kickoff to an incredible party.

some! Would definitely recommend!

lking about how beautiful the music was. Thank you!

uite the magical feeling for our outdoor ceremony. Thank you so much!

e ceremony (this was one of the more fun parts of planning!) We had Joe as our solo cellist on the day of, and he was so great! He executed everything perfectly. When Joe arrived, he very efficiently got himself set up in the right place with very little assistance. (It was a little chaotic for us at the time, and it was a huge help that he was totally self-sufficient). I learned later that the venue staff was blasting music that could be heard at the ceremony site, and he even had the good sense to tell them to turn it down, which we are SO grateful for! His playing was beautiful, and he nailed the music transitions during the processional. My only regret is that, as the bride, I wasn't able to listen to more of his playing leading up to the ceremony! Although many things about a wedding can be stressful, working with Dean's Duets was so easy, and I never once stressed about the music at any point during the entire process, thanks to April and Joe.

k with them again in the future.

did we get an amazing pianist who performed our ceremony beautifully....he was also an incredible vocalist who sang during our cocktail hour! 10/10 would highly recommend Deans' Duets for any live music you may need!!

p to our wedding was wonderful. April reached out to us several times over email to ensure that she understood our vision and could make it come to life. We also spoke on the phone. She had a great understanding of what would and wouldn't work well with the violin + cello duet we chose and helped us create the most beautiful ceremony possible. Working with Deans' Duets was so easy and the music really enhanced the beauty & emotion of our ceremony. Thank you so much, Deans' Duets!!!

ased on our requested needs. The musicians were able to play such a wide variety of songs - our guests absolutely loved it! Their timing was perfect - we couldn’t be happier. Thank you to April and team for adding an extra special touch to our special day!

from. The musicians were wonderful and helped make our wedding day special.

at we wanted and so beautiful. We had a violinist and keyboard. We had them come for the rehearsal as well and found that very helpful. They worked well with our wedding coordinator and helped make the day perfect!

m. The day of, Madelyn, was amazing and played all the songs I requested so eloquently. Couldn't have asked for a better group to work with!

ange of music as well. April was always checking in on my fiance and I to make sure we were all set the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of the event went very smooth!

extremely prompt in answering my questions and provided me so much reassurance. I appreciated that they require a contract (for peace of mind from both parties) and also had me fill out a questionnaire to cover all the details. On our wedding day, the musicians showed up with plenty of time to spare and were self-sufficient with getting settled. They followed my requests beautifully and the music really made my ceremony (which started out as a blank slate) warm and romantic! We were on a tight budget, but Deans Duets are worth every penny in my opinion for the peace of mind and confidence.

odify plans because of COVID restrictions. My husband and I wanted music to play a central part in our wedding day, but we were clueless about how to actually carry out that vision. April helped us figure out the ensemble type that would best support our music choices AND fit within our budget range. We had a small in-person wedding with way more virtual Zoom attendees, and April went above and beyond in helping us with in-person audio setup so that our virtual attendees had a great experience. During the reception we had a few hiccups related to wifi signal and bluetooth connections day-of; but the ceremony and cocktail music was perfect! I'm so glad April recommended a harp and violin duo - they were able to pull off traditional wedding songs as well as more modern choices, and the harp was stunning in our venue space.

traditional and contemporary. Would definitely use them again!

o special!!

ll so kind. Thanks April and Deans' Duets!

m and having them part of our day.

ay everything we dreamed!

ng. Deans' Duets worked with my wife and I on finding/making sheet music for pieces that they did not have in their repertoire and for a reasonable price learned new music and executed the songs flawlessly. Many guest commented on the music and how it created the perfect ambiance to the wedding overall. I am very impressed and pleased with the duet that performed at our wedding (violin/guitarist) and would highly recommend them. Additionally, they were willing to work with the DJ we had for the reception in order to facilitate the sound equipment details which cut costs for us and was again executed flawlessly. Our wedding was at Sky Retreat in Purlear, NC and the sound was clear for the ceremony on the mountain side with amplification as well as during the dinner/cocktail hour in the reception area. The volume during dinner and cocktail hour was perfectly clear yet not overwhelmingly loud. I am also very happy with the diversity in the types of music they did have available for us to chose from.

made the ceremony feel so classic and elegant. deans duets was so talented and kind and we are so blessed they could contribute to our day!

& guitar duo during the ceremony and cocktail hour and just a piano player for 2 hours during dinner. They were so talented and performed every song on our setlist. It was so fun during dinner, April could tell we loved Disney songs so she started incorporating more Disney songs into her setlist and that was a HUGE hit. Everyone started singing along! Thank you SO much Deans' Duets for making our wedding day extra special! 5 STARS!!!!

provided. They were willing to flex to our needs and requests, and helped make a great list of songs that excited us. Music is important to us as a couple, and we were thrilled with the collection of music we were able to have them play. The musicians are talented and April is a great communicator. They went above and beyond to be apart of our day, especially given this strange year/strange circumstances.

ns’ Duets were always going to be part of the wedding. The planning process was so easy because April was always available and responded quickly to any questions. The music was a very, very special addition to the wedding. It wouldn’t have been the same without their wonderful music! Thank you, Deans’ Duets Victoria Hogan

throughout the whole thing. The music was just perfectly loud enough and they even did softer music during the toast. Highly recommended. Not to mention the songs were awesome. Traditional wedding all the way to Coldplay.

ibly kind and professional. They are all incredible musicians with amazing talent. They are also able to learn new music for your wedding! I could listen to them play for hours! :) -Kevyn Dixon Photography

ing in addition to being extremely talented. Our ceremony started about 25 minutes late due to a problem with the bus transporting the guests and the musicians remained playing through the wait for our guests that were already present at the venue. There was a wide variety for the music selection allowing us to personalize the music list to our preference and allow us to make our wedding unique. Overall, I would highly recommend Deans Duets to anyone looking for professional, high-quality live musicians for their wedding or event.

it made our day even more special to have them a part of it!

ith zero musical talent or knowledge) to ensure they understood what we were looking for - their experience and expertise is clear! Thank you!!

April was very responsive with all communication. The musicians, David (violin), and Stephen (keyboard) were professional, gracious, and very considerate of our party. We had one requested song which was not on the play list which they mastered for the final song of our event. David and Stephen made our afternoon memorable.

ponses to both my mom and I. The team worked with us to customize a beautiful blend of contemporary and traditional selections for our special day. There truly aren't words to describe how incredibly talented Deans' Duets is. All of our guests were raving about how beautiful and special our ceremony music was. Hire them!

usicians even arrived early on the wedding day to rehearse with our soloist. The music was beautiful and definitely set the tone for a memorable day.

t to figure out what we wanted. April was very responsive and helpful!

familiar with, but very enthusiastic to learn. Over the course of the year, Deans learned and arranged the piece to fit our processional needs - and wow - phenomenal. I think they could have given the London Symphony Orchestra a run for their money. The music was a very important feature at our wedding, and Deans slayed it, adding an elegant vibe that was perfectly executed. I highly recommend Dean's Duets, in fact, if they are not available, you should change your date so you can retain them, they were that good.

!

nestly so magical & everything I had dreamed of! April was soo helpful throughout the process leading up to my wedding, helping me plan the song list & ceremony program. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

cocktail hour. April provided a Spanish guitarist to play Spanish music during that time. The music during the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautifully played by talented musicians. April was easy to work with and very responsive to our requests. Deans' Duets made an already special day, even more special!

it sounded amazing! We highly recommend them and feel so blessed to have had them play at our daughter's wedding.

verything was great! Also, we loved that you could pick your arrangement of instruments - we selected guitar and violin. Would certainly recommend them to anyone in need of an A+ musician for their wedding ceremony, cocktail reception, or dinner!

my favorite part!

nd Eryn on harp and guitar were a pleasure to work with and very professional. Highly recommended!!

a filled that role perfectly. April was great to communicate with leading up to the day - very responsive, clear, and helpful. Thank you!

even before we signed a contract with her, which is rare to find in the industry. We received so many compliments on our ceremony music! Without Deans' Duets our ceremony would have had a much different feel and wouldn't been as perfect! Thank you April of Deans' Duets!!

, responsiveness and genuine excitement made it an easy choice! They not only provided breath taking music for our ceremony, but they did it in a professional and reliable way! Deans' Duets & Quartets is the only way to go!!!

great to work with!

a huge selection of both traditional and contemporary songs to choose from. Donna and April made sure that our song selection was cohesive and complemented the instruments we'd requested and they even learned an entirely new song for our processional. When I was struck with indecision about which song I would walk down the aisle to, Donna called me and played the songs for me over the phone and her suggested solutions were absolutely perfect. They are so nice and so talented! Even our wedding planner was impressed. I cannot recommend Deans' enough, they're wonderful!

o an experience and I'll never forget walking down the aisle to the beautiful sound of "Can't Help Falling in Love." Hire Deans Duets if you want a helpful vendor and a dreamy wedding day.

f you're look to add a special touch to your wedding day.

er assistance, we selected a wonderful playlist for a string trio to play through during our cocktail hour and reception. She was especially understanding when we decided to make a few tweaks to the list along the way and even took the time to speak with us a few days before the wedding to go over all of the fine details! On the day of the wedding itself, the trio arrived plenty early to our venue, which was in the mountains of North Carolina. The band (Meg, Nick, and Paul) were extremely friendly and gracious. They had even taken the time to learn a new song specifically for the ceremony! The music provided by Dean’s Duets truly helped to set the tone for the day and Chelsea and I couldn’t be more appreciative of how easy they were to work with. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding such a fantastically joyous occasion!

ing my wedding. I had a phone consultation with April, she is super sweet and so easy to work with. I really only wanted to pick the song that i walked down to, as well as family and bridal party music...I asked them to decide on all the other songs to play for everything else and they were happy to do that. It took a lot of the pressure off me. I am so glad I made that decision because everything sounded beautiful. I highly recommend deans duets. They truly helped make my day special and Uh-amazing!!! :)

as flawless. I was a very particular bride so I was very picky about the music selections. April spent time talking to me several times leading up to the big day and played exactly what we had discussed to a tee. The whole experience of working with Dean's Duets exceeded all expectations. April is a very gifted musician. Several of our guests are still commenting about the beautiful music at our wedding. April was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Dean's Duets to any bride out there!
