String Trio

Along with the string quartet, the string trio is the most booked ensemble. Trios usually consist of two violinists and a cello player, or one violinist, violist, and cellist. However, we take special requests for trio combinations, substituting a flutist for a violinist.

What’s the difference between a trio and quartet? Both ensembles exude the utmost elegance and excellence in sound quality. The repertoire and song selection isn’t lacking either.  There is one less musician, however, in a trio. Therefore, the volume decreases. A trio does not project sound as well as a string quartet or a larger group. But, for many, that’s perfect! If you don’t want the louder and richer sounds of a larger ensemble, the string trio is just right — not too small like a duo or solo instrument and not too big like a quartet or orchestra.  String trio provides a nice ambiance for your wedding ceremony or event.

Level up your string trio with the addition of a trumpet player.  Trumpeters are a popular option for church weddings. The trumpet fills the venue with heavenly sounds, especially when the acoustics echo and reverberate down the aisle and into the courtyard.  If a trumpeter is not your style, we can add a guitarist or a pianist. If your wedding venue doesn’t have a piano, we can use our keyboards. Our musicians use the best keyboards on the market! Or, we can arrange a baby grand rental. 

Speaking of pianos, give our violin and piano duos a try! Or, hire a solo jazz pianist.  For your cocktail hour entertainment, how about adding a Cajon drum box in addition to the string trio? As you can see, the options are endless. 

Just a recommendation — we suggest the string trio for smaller venues or weddings if you want to save some money and create the perfect atmosphere for a smaller event. For larger events (200+ guests) and performances over two hours, please book the string quartet. You and your guests will love the larger ensemble!
