WHO WE ARE:
At Consultants of Sound, we curate exceptional live music for weddings, celebrations, corporate events, and private gatherings. From intimate string ensembles to sophisticated jazz combos, we match the right musicians and musical atmosphere to every occasion.
OUR MUSIC
Two traditions.
One exceptional musical experience.
JAZZ
Sophisticated live jazz for cocktail hours, dinners, receptions, corporate events, and private celebrations.
From intimate duos and trios to larger custom ensembles, we tailor the sound to the room and occasion.
STRINGS
Elegant, intimate live strings for wedding ceremonies, preludes, cocktail hours, receptions, and special events.
Choose from duos, trios, quartets, or large ensembles, with repertoire shaped around your event and personal style.
FOR WEDDINGS
Strings for the ceremony.
Jazz for cocktail hour.
One musical team can carry your celebration from the ceremony into cocktail hour, creating a seamless experience while giving you one less vendor to coordinate.
CEREMONY
Elegant strings set the tone from the moment guests arrive
Prelude music welcomes your guests, followed by carefully selected music for family, bridal party, the bride, special moments, & recessional.
COCKTAIL HOUR
Shift the celebration into drive with live jazz
As guests move into cocktail hour, live jazz creates an inviting, sophisticated atmosphere, while keeping the soundtrack cohesive.
One point of contact.
One thoughtfully coordinated musical experience.
Instead of separately hiring and managing ceremony musicians and a cocktail hour ensemble, Consultants of Sound can coordinate both. We help shape the instrumentation, repertoire, timing, and transition so the music feels like one part of the same celebration.
ONE TEAM
Ceremony and cocktail hour music coordinated through one company.
A SEAMLESS TRANSITION
Music evolves naturally as the atmosphere of the wedding changes.
BUILT AROUND YOUR DAY
