Adagio Strings is a Waterloo wedding string duo featuring Matt and Emily Piche. The official site describes arrangements for violin and guitar or two violins, with a repertoire that spans pop, classical, contemporary and other music for weddings and events.

The duo is based in K-W and lists Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton and Burlington among the places it serves, along with surrounding areas. Couples considering live ceremony or event music can use the company’s website to begin a direct enquiry.

Services and specialization

Adagio Strings presents itself as a professional strings duo for weddings and other events. Its published formats are violin and guitar, or two violins. That is a useful distinction for couples deciding whether they want an intimate two-player sound rather than a larger string ensemble.

The official site describes a repertoire spanning pop, classical and contemporary music, among other selections. It also links to a song list, indicating that repertoire is part of the planning conversation. The current public page does not set out event packages, performance durations, sound equipment or a formal ceremony-music workflow, so those details should be discussed directly before booking.

Service area and who it may suit

Adagio Strings says it is based in K-W and available for events in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Hamilton and Burlington, as well as surrounding areas. This makes the listing particularly relevant for couples planning in Waterloo Region who want a local live-string option, while also giving nearby-city couples a starting point for a travel enquiry.

The official site does not publish boundaries for the surrounding-area wording, travel fees or a minimum booking distance. Couples outside the named cities should confirm whether their venue can be accommodated and whether any travel-related charge applies.

About the musicians

The official website identifies Adagio Strings as married couple Matt Piche and Emily Piche. It says they have performed together as a duo for more than a decade. The site also describes Matt Piche as a two-time Juno nominee.

These are background details published by the business, rather than a substitute for current availability. Couples who value a particular ensemble combination should confirm that both named performers will be assigned to their date and ask how any unavoidable substitute arrangement would be handled.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of Adagio Strings is its choice of two distinct duo formats: two violins, or violin with guitar. The published genre range is another concrete planning feature, giving couples a basis for asking about classical selections, contemporary songs and the fit for individual parts of the day.

The available official information is concise. It does not publicly confirm a complete song catalogue, whether requests are accepted, the number of sets offered, weather contingencies, amplification, insurance, accessibility needs or venue coordination. These are practical questions to settle before signing an agreement, not negative findings about the business.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published.

The official website does not show package prices, hourly rates, deposits, travel fees, overtime rates or taxes. Request a written quote that states the event date, venue, selected ensemble format, scheduled performance window, travel terms and any add-ons before comparing proposals.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

The confirmed official website provides a “contact us” link for enquiries and identifies the business as Adagio Strings. No clean postal address or public phone number could be verified from the official homepage, so neither is listed here.

When contacting the duo, include the wedding date, venue city, approximate guest arrival and ceremony times, desired music moments and whether you are considering violin and guitar or two violins. Those basics will help establish whether the engagement is available and what scope should be quoted.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, ask for the precise performance coverage: for example, guest arrival, ceremony, signing, cocktail hour, reception or another event segment. Confirm the arrival time, break schedule, indoor or outdoor setup requirements, backup plan for poor weather and whether the venue supplies power or a suitable performance area.

Also confirm the repertoire process. Ask which songs are included, whether requested pieces can be considered, when final selections are due and how cues for processional or recessional music will be coordinated. Finish by reviewing the written booking terms, including the deposit, payment schedule, cancellation or postponement policy, travel charges and the named performers.
