Tell us about your wedding and the kind of atmosphere you would like to create.
Every event is different, so pricing depends on several factors, including the type of ensemble, performance length, location, instrumentation, repertoire, and any special requests.
Whether you’re looking for a solo violinist, string duo, trio, string quartet, or another live music ensemble in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, we’ll help you choose an option that fits your event and musical needs.
While Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas are our primary service areas, KeyPrime Strings musicians are available for events outside the DFW area as well.
We regularly consider weddings, corporate events, private parties, festivals, and other special events throughout Texas and beyond. Travel availability and pricing depend on the location, performance schedule, ensemble size, and other event requirements.
If your event is outside Dallas–Fort Worth, don’t hesitate to ask.
The best choice depends on your venue, number of guests, musical style, and the atmosphere you want to create.
A solo violinist is an elegant and flexible choice for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinners, proposals, and smaller events. A string duo adds more musical depth while remaining intimate and compact. A string trio provides a fuller ensemble sound and works beautifully for weddings, receptions, and medium-sized events.
A string quartet offers the richest traditional string ensemble sound and the widest range of musical possibilities. It is an excellent choice for wedding ceremonies, formal receptions, corporate events, and larger celebrations.
Not sure which ensemble is right for you?
Absolutely! We’re happy to accommodate special song requests and custom playlists whenever possible. The amount of advance notice we need depends on the size of the ensemble and the amount of music that needs to be arranged or prepared.
For a string quartet, we recommend submitting special requests at least one month before the event. For a solo violin performance, two to three weeks may be sufficient for most requests.
The earlier you send us your song list, the more options we’ll have.
Contact us to discuss your favorite songs and custom music requests.
Yes. We can provide professional sound equipment and amplification when it is appropriate for the venue and type of performance.
For solo musicians and outdoor events, we even have battery-powered amplification, so access to electricity may not be necessary. We can also provide sound equipment for ensembles performing jazz, swing, rock ’n’ roll, pop, and other styles.
Traditional acoustic ensembles such as a string duo, string trio, or string quartet often do not require amplification, depending on the venue and number of guests.
Tell us about your venue and event, and we’ll recommend the appropriate setup.
Absolutely. Our professional musicians are available for studio recording, remote recording, session work, and custom music projects.
Whether you need violin, strings, or other instrumentation for a song, album, soundtrack, or other recording project, we can help.
Yes! Versatility is one of the things that makes KeyPrime Strings different.
Many of our professional musicians are experienced in multiple musical styles. For example, a violin and cello duo can perform classical music, jazz, pop, rock ’n’ roll, and other styles during the same event. This is especially useful for weddings, corporate events, receptions, and parties where the atmosphere changes throughout the evening.
And as we mentioned above, versatility to us means more than simply playing the notes in a different genre. Our musicians understand the technique, phrasing, feel, and musical traditions behind the styles they perform.
Yes. KeyPrime Strings can also create original music and custom arrangements for special events and other projects.
Depending on what you need, we can compose music specifically for your occasion and arrange for it to be performed by our musicians, or provide the finished composition or arrangement for another use.
Because every custom music project is different, contact us to discuss your idea, instrumentation, timeline, and performance needs.
