Live string music for your wedding
Affordable Elegance is a collaborative ensemble of experienced professional musicians providing live string music for weddings throughout New England — ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. Choose from a solo cello, a string duet, a string trio, or a full string quartet, with a repertoire spanning classical processionals, contemporary pop arrangements, and custom songs we learn specifically for your day.

​

We are based in Beverly, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine, with two home bases that let us serve wedding venues throughout New England. Our string duets, trios, and quartets have played at Maine coastal inns, at barn weddings in central Massachusetts, and at churches and gardens in greater Boston. If your venue is within a reasonable drive of either base, we will come to you.

Pricing ranges from $925 to $2605 (choice of solo, duet, trio, or quartet. contact us for a quote)
