Weddings
The walk down the aisle, the first dance, the moment everyone raises a glass. Tell us the song that matters and we will be there to play it.
Some moments deserve live music
From the first note as you walk down the aisle to the last song of the night — a string quartet, trio or duo playing the music that means something to you.

Who we are
Your celebration should sound like you
Some people know exactly which song they want. Most are still deciding — and that is where we come in. Tell us what the day looks like, and we will help you find the music that fits it.
We play from a wide range of styles — classical, film music, traditional waltzes, rock, tango and other Latin rhythms. If you already know what you want, we will play it. If you are not sure yet, we will suggest options until something feels right.
What we play for
The moments we play for
Graduations
Years of work, one afternoon to mark it. Live strings make a graduation feel like the milestone it is.
Dinners & cocktails
Soft strings under the conversation, a room that feels considered rather than decorated. This is what live music does to a dinner.
Anniversaries & birthdays
Some songs carry a whole history. Tell us which one, and we will play it for the person you are celebrating.
Corporate & private events
Receptions and openings where the music sets the tone and still lets people talk.
Something else
A proposal, a reunion, a milestone nobody expected. Tell us what you are planning.
Renan Leme
Meet the violinist behind the ensemble
Renan Leme has spent his life with the violin — formally trained in the classical tradition, and just as at home with jazz, rock, folk and tango. He holds a bachelor's degree in violin performance from the Federal University of Pelotas and a master's from the University of Missouri, where he studied with Eva Szekely.
He has played with the Mizzou Graduate String Quartet, the Mizzou New Music Ensemble and the Missouri Symphony, and writes and performs his own music. He is also the person who will read your message and put the music together for your day.
Instrumentation
Finding the right sound for your space
A quartet fills a ballroom. A duo is better in a small chapel. Tell us about the room and we will tell you what will sound right in it — from an intimate duo to a full string quartet, with harp, piano, guitar or a singer if you want them.
