Serenata Duo

Addison and Teagan have both attended many weddings and other events, so in addition to being talented musicians, they also understand the importance of good planning. They are timely, organized, flexible, and ready to coordinate with the organizer of your event to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Addison and Teagan's love for music began at an early age. Growing up in a musical household, each of the girls were encouraged to pick up an instrument, so Teagan chose the violin, and Addison the cello. As they got older (and better!), they began to enjoy playing duets together, and it stuck. Over the years, they have played at many weddings, dinners, senior living communities, and churches. While each of the girls has over a decade of classical training, they are not limited to traditional repertoire. They love playing pop arrangements and oldies, and enjoy finding and learning new music for whatever request their clients may have. Addison and Teagan are the perfect choice to make your event elegant, personal, and fun!

The following terms are understood and agreed to:

ATTIRE: Attire will be concert black unless otherwise specified.

LOCATION, SPACE, & EQUIPMENT:
Detailed map and or directions to the place of engagement must be provided to the musicians at least two weeks prior to the engagement.
We require a space of 8’ x 8’. This enables us to provide you with the best possible performance. The space also needs to be free of any pedestrian traffic.
Two straight-back chairs WITHOUT arms will be provided for the musicians, and adequate lighting to read our music.
Parking must be provided at the performance location.

WEATHER & EMERGENCIES
String instruments are extremely valuable, and are susceptible to damage when exposed to certain climatic variations, such as rain, direct sunlight and temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It is understood that performers must be provided with shelter from rain and direct sunlight and that the temperature must be at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
If due to vehicular accident, severe weather, or medical emergency the Serenata Duo is unable to attend an event, the aforementioned payments will be refunded and the duo will not be liable for any damages resulting from this failure to perform.

BREAKS: The musicians will be afforded a 5 minute break for every hour played.

REHEARSAL: The duo will send a representative to the rehearsal who would anticipate the length of the wedding processionals and find out about any last-minute changes. We also collect the balance of the fee at that time. If the bride and groom want both the cellist & violinist to be at the rehearsal, we require a 24-hour notice prior to the rehearsal, and there will be an additional fee.
