Serenity String Duo’s All-Time Favourites

The pieces we love, and why they mean so much to us

There’s something very special about the music we choose to play again and again.

Not just because it sounds beautiful…But because it feels something.

As musicians, there are always those pieces we return to, the ones that stay with us long after the final note has faded.

So we thought we’d share a few of our all-time favourites…The pieces we love performing, and the moments they create.

✨ The Ones That Always Give Us Goosebumps

Some pieces never lose their magic, no matter how many times we play them.

• “Perfect” – Ed Sheeran

• “All of Me” – John Legend

• “A Thousand Years” – Christina Perri

These are the songs where:

• the room falls completely silent

• emotions feel just a little closer to the surface

• and every note carries meaning

They’re often chosen for aisle walks, and it’s easy to see why.

💫 The Ones That Feel Like Pure Joy

There are some pieces that instantly lift the atmosphere.

• “A Sky Full of Stars” – Coldplay

• “Best Day of My Life” – American Authors

• “Uptown Funk” – Bruno Mars

These are the moments where:

• guests start smiling at each other

• the energy shifts

• and the celebration really begins

We love weaving these into drinks receptions to create that light, joyful atmosphere.

🌿 The Ones That Feel Timeless

Some music feels like it has always existed.

• “Canon in D” – Johann Pachelbel

• “At Last” – Etta James

• “Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley

These pieces bring:

• elegance

• familiarity

• a sense of occasion

They work beautifully across every part of a wedding day.

🎬 The Ones That Tell a Story

We’ve always loved music that feels cinematic.

• Themes from Bridgerton

• “City of Stars” – La La Land

• “Shallow” – A Star Is Born

These pieces feel:

• emotional

• expressive

• full of storytelling

They allow us to create something truly atmospheric, like a scene unfolding in real time.

🎶 The Ones That Surprise People

One of our favourite things is taking a song people don’t expect… and transforming it.

• “Bad Guy” – Billie Eilish

• “Smells Like Teen Spirit” – Nirvana

• “Titanium” – David Guetta ft. Sia

When played on strings, these become:

• elegant

• unexpected

• conversation-starting

And those are often the moments guests remember most.

💍 The Ones That Mean Something Personal

Some of our favourites aren’t just about the music, they’re about the people.

• The couple who chose a song from their first date.

• The one that reminded them of a loved one.

• The piece they never thought they’d hear live.

• These are always the most meaningful moments of all.

And it’s why we love creating bespoke arrangements, so your music feels completely, beautifully yours.

🎻 Why These Pieces Stay With Us

As performers, we experience your wedding day in a unique way.

We see:

• the quiet moments before the ceremony

• the emotion during your aisle walk

• the joy as your guests celebrate around you

And the music becomes part of all of it.

These “favourites” aren’t just songs, they’re memories we carry with us from every wedding we’ve been part of.
