Westchester & the Hudson Valley
Cocktail Hour Music in the Hudson Valley
Cocktail hour music for Westchester and Hudson Valley receptions — live, warm, never loud.
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.
Stone barns, riverside estates, historic inns, garden ceremonies — Westchester and the Hudson Valley reward music that feels timeless. Classical guitar and a live soprano suit these rooms the way candlelight does, and our two-person footprint fits venues where a larger ensemble simply won't.

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.
