Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book wedding musicians in Geneva?
Most couples book six to twelve months ahead, especially for Saturdays in summer. If your date is closer, ask anyway, we will tell you straight away whether we are available.
Can you play a song that is not classical?
Yes. Send us the songs that matter to you and we will arrange them for your chosen setup, alongside the classical pieces we recommend.
Do you coordinate with the venue and the celebrant?
Yes, we are glad to agree the cues and timing directly with your venue, celebrant, or planner, so nothing has to be signalled on the day.
How long do you play?
Performance length is built around your program and confirmed beforehand. Ceremony-only bookings usually run 30 to 45 minutes, while ceremony plus aperitif typically runs two to three hours.
