Duo, Casa de España | 1/28/2023
Planning the details for an event can be overwhelming -- music definitely shouldn’t be. Share with us your favorite songs, artists or genres and we'll take it from there.
We'll help you find a package that fits your needs and budget. Choose from our affordable violin and cello duo, up to the more harmonically complex trio or quartet.
Let go of any preconceptions regarding what string music is or should be. Whether it's pop, rock, boleros, or cinematic music -- we welcome you into a world where virtually anything is possible.
We started making music together during our years at UPRM -- Colegio! We are artists, engineers, scientists, educators with a passion for music and a commitment to deliver quality performances wherever we go.
Although we've been performing at events for over 15 years, we started doing so actively and professionally 6 years ago. We constantly find ourselves traveling to San Juan, Río Grande, Aguada, Ponce, Mayagüez and everywhere in between.

Contact us with event date, venue, and the ensemble(s) you're interested in. Out of these, the event date is the most important detail we require; the rest are needed in order for us to give you an accurate estimate of the total cost.
If we're available, we will email you a quote for our services and temporarily save the date while you evaluate our proposal. We're typically able to hold on to the date for 2-4 weeks, so make sure to keep us updated and let us know if you need more time.
If you're interested in booking with us, we can arrange to meet and sign the contract in person, or we can sign it electronically for convenience. A deposit is required in order to reserve the date.
Consider what songs, artists, or styles of music mean the most to you. Browse our repertoire and let us know if we're missing your favorites. Feel free to either send us a list or prepare a playlist!
As soon as we know the kind of music you want, we'll start listening to, preparing, and rehearsing arrangements for any new songs while you count down the days.
As we get closer to the date, we will reach you (or your event planner) to confirm details such as music start time, performance area, availability of power outlets, chairs, parking for the event, and number of guests.
Once the big day arrives -- smile broadly! Have peace of mind knowing we'll be entertaining your guests as they arrive and wait for the ceremony to begin. Enjoy the day, dance, laugh out loud or get emotional, and get busy creating memories with your family while we provide the soundtrack to your special day.
We'll want to make sure you were satisfied with our services, so you may get emails or messages later on asking what you thought about the performance. Feedback is a crucial part of the process, as it helps us understand which aspects of our services are working and which ones need improvement.
The WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards® recognize local wedding professionals who demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness, and professionalism. Winners are determined by the reviews from more than one million WeddingWire couples.
Ever wonder what your favorite music sounds like on classical instruments? Maybe you have been thinking of song requests that are either a bit bold, unconventional, or perhaps overplayed – that's okay! Let us soften the edges and keep things fresh by performing them on strings.
For better chances regarding our availability, we strongly recommend reaching out to us (or any of your preferred vendors, for that matter) about a year in advance. Most clients contact us 9-10 months before the event date. This is especially important if you're planning a Saturday afternoon event. Even if you're not looking to book right away, we might be able to pencil you in.
Yes, sound equipment is included in most of our packages. We are able to set up speakers, wireless microphones as well as a microphone stand if needed. We are typically able to accomodate sound for audiences of up to 150 (outdoor events) or 200 (indoor locations). We offer battery-operated systems for areas where electrical outlets are not available.
Consider your budget, timing and your vision. If you're having a small event, are looking to keep things simple, or the event is happening soon, we recommend our duo. If you absolutely want something impressive or dramatic, we suggest our string quartet which we consider a reduced orchestra. If you want a bigger sound than a duo without the cost of the quartet, we strongly suggest going with our trio which is a very happy medium :)
We highly recommend checking out our repertoire first! We're confident you'll find many songs you know and love. If there are titles on your wishlist that are not in our catalog, we can learn up to a certain amount on the house, depending on how early you book us and share the songs with us. We're always looking to learn new pieces! A whopping 60% of the songs in our repertoire have been requested by our clients. We've gotten fun and refreshing song requests that include music from The Beatles, Juan Luis Guerra, Queen, Game of Thrones, Bad Bunny and even the theme for "The Office"
