How it works
Tell us about your day
Share your date, venue, and the moments you want covered, from a violin at the ceremony to a string trio during cocktails.
We plan the line-up and repertoire
Based on your venue size and style, we suggest the right setup and a starting repertoire list you can adjust.
Confirm and relax
Once you approve the program, your booking is locked in. We coordinate directly with your venue and planner on timing and logistics.
We arrive and play
We arrive early to set up, run through cues with your officiant or MC, and perform exactly as planned.
Choosing Your Setup
Solo Serenade suits an intimate ceremony or a cocktail hour where music should stay in the background. Chamber Elegance (duo) fills a garden or hall ceremony with a fuller sound and covers the reception too. Timeless Ensemble is built for weddings with 80+ guests or a venue with real acoustic space, like a church or ballroom, where a small ensemble carries across the room. Whether you need a solo violinist, pianist, or a full string quartet, we perform in Zürich, Bern, Basel, and across Switzerland. Planning an intimate engagement dinner or anniversary too? See our private events page - or meet the people behind Tonora.

Frequently asked questions
Will Tonora's violinist play at my event himself?
In most cases, yes. If he is not available on your date, he sends a trusted colleague he knows well and has played with for years. We tell you before you confirm, and Tonora remains your contact and fully responsible for the performance.
How far in advance should I book wedding musicians in Switzerland?
We recommend booking 3 to 6 months ahead for weddings during peak season (May to September), though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on availability.
Can Tonora perform in French, German, or Italian-speaking Switzerland?
Yes, Tonora performs across all 26 Swiss cantons, including French-speaking Romandie and Italian-speaking Ticino.
What if my venue doesn't have a piano?
Most of our repertoire is written for violin, cello, and string ensembles, which need no venue equipment at all. If piano is central to a piece you want, we can provide one, or let us know when booking so we can plan around your venue's instrument or bring an alternative arrangement.
How long do you play?
Performance length is confirmed once we know your ceremony and reception plans, most solo and duo bookings cover 30 to 60 minutes of music, extended coverage is available for larger weddings.
