The whole day, or just the part you want
Tell us which moments you want music for. We plan each one with you, from the first note in the church to the last song of the night.
Usually two of us. Sometimes many more.
Most weddings we play as a duo. When the day asks for more, we add musicians — friends, family, the couple themselves or other professionals.

Violin, piano or organ, and our two voices. Our everyday line-up, for church, civil ceremony and cocktail.
Want a cousin to sing, or the groom to play? We rehearse together.

A married couple who play weddings
Two professional musicians who share one passion: music. We married in 2025, so we know exactly what that day feels like from your side. We have played at masses broadcast live on TVI.

Violin and voice
Couples remember her voice: "soft and beautiful", "angelic", "it made me cry". Joana also helps you pick the readings and the hymns for the mass.

Piano, organ and voice
From São Miguel, in the Azores, and a musician in the Portuguese Army. He has played for liturgy since he was 15 and sung with liturgical choirs on TV, including RTP2's series "São precisos dois para casar".
At weddings there is a mystique I love to watch and be part of: music in perfect harmony with the place and the people, in that very moment.
Because we love to play emotion.

Some people don't just sing… they move you. That is exactly what Nelson and Joana did at our ceremony. From the very first moment they filled the church with emotion.
When the church doors opened for me to walk in, the sound was moving: Joana on violin and Nelson on the organ. Then the cocktail mixed violin, sax and organ — our guests still talk about it.
The combination of piano and violin was simply magical. They played and sang with a rare sensitivity.
There were no dead moments in the church. Everything flowed, which made the ceremony even more beautiful.
I'm a musician too, I play the violin, so I can say it knowing what I'm talking about: they are the best at what they do!
At the last minute we had to change the songs for the mass to suit the priest, and they played them beautifully. Joana's voice even made me cry.

As early as you can: wedding Saturdays fill up, and a good repertoire needs time. For small occasions we need at least 24 hours' notice.
Yes, the repertoire is entirely yours. We suggest pieces for each moment, arrange the ones you love and keep the list open until the day.
Both. In church we sing the mass as your choir, with organ or piano and violin; at civil ceremonies in quintas and gardens we bring a digital piano and our own sound.
Of course. We often bring in friends, family or the couple themselves, and rehearse with them beforehand.
