Performing Outside - What We Need You To Know

Performing Outdoors: What We Need for a Beautiful Event

At Serenity String Duo, we love the idea of bringing our music to outdoor ceremonies and receptions. There’s something magical about celebrating amidst nature, whether it’s under the open sky or in a beautifully landscaped garden. However, performing outside comes with specific requirements to ensure the safety of our instruments and the quality of our performance.

Our Requirements for Outdoor Performances

1. Shelter from the Elements

   • Our instruments are delicate and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight or rain, as these conditions can cause irreversible damage. Therefore, it’s essential to provide some form of shelter for our setup. Options that work well include:

     • Gazebos: A classic choice that offers ample protection and can add to the aesthetic of your event.

     • Pergolas: These can provide partial shade and create a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony.

     • Umbrellas: Large umbrellas can be effective in shielding our instruments from both sun and rain.

     • Large Trees: If your venue has trees, positioning us beneath them can provide natural shelter.

     • French Doors: If your event space allows, being stationed by open French doors offers both protection and a lovely view of the outdoors.

   

2. Contingency Plans for Adverse Weather

   • It’s vital to consider a backup plan in case of unexpected weather changes. While we all hope for a sunny day, having a contingency plan will ensure that your event proceeds smoothly. This could involve relocating the performance indoors or having a tent ready to go.

   

3. Advance Notice

   • To provide the best experience possible, please give us advance notice about your outdoor event. This allows us to prepare appropriately and ensures that we can accommodate your needs on the day of your ceremony or reception.

Why Choose Outdoor Performances?

Outdoor settings create a unique atmosphere that enhances the emotional impact of your wedding. The natural backdrop combined with the sound of live strings can elevate the ambiance, making your special day even more memorable. Whether it’s a romantic garden wedding or a festive outdoor reception, our music will resonate beautifully in the open air.
