Cocktail Hour Music in NYC
Cocktail hour music for New York City weddings and events — classical to crossover, at conversation volume.
Get a quoteThe cocktail hour is where music earns its keep: it sets the room's temperature while you're off taking photos. Our sets move from classical elegance through Italian romance into modern songs your guests will lean over and ask about — Perfect, All of Me, A Thousand Years — all re-imagined for classical guitar and operatic voice.
As a two-person ensemble with self-contained sound, we fit terraces, gardens, lofts, and cocktail spaces that larger groups can't. Add a cocktail hour to a ceremony booking ($1,495 for both) or book us for the reception hours alone — tell us the shape of your event and you'll have a quote within 24 hours.
We're a New York act — the city's concert halls are where we made our names, and its lofts, gardens, rooftops, and historic rooms are where we play for private events. From Manhattan to Brooklyn's waterfront venues to garden events in Queens and the Bronx, we arrive early, self-contained, and ready for rooms of any shape.

Questions
Before you ask
Can you perform our specific songs?+
Yes. You pick every ceremony piece. If a song isn't in our repertoire, our guitarist arranges it for guitar and voice — his published arrangements run from Scarlatti to Rachmaninoff. Ceremony + Cocktail bookings include one custom arrangement (the $500 arranging fee is waived).
Do you need a piano, a stage, or power?+
No, no, and one outlet at most. Two performers, one guitar, our own professional sound. We fit rooms a string quartet can't.
How far in advance should we book?+
Popular dates go months out — but ask either way. If we're free, we're yours.
How does booking work?+
Tell us about your event — the chat takes a few minutes, or use the form. You get a personal confirmation within 24 hours. A signed agreement and 50% deposit lock your date; the balance is due the week of the event.
