Music Trio for Cocktail Hour - Any Suggestions?

Hi Ladies!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  I had come across a group called the 'Trillium Trio' at a Wedding Expo who offer Flute, Violin and Cello music, they are just lovely but are a little expensive for just the cocktail hour.  I would like some live music for the cocktail hour (we'll be having a DJ for the rest) and wondering if anyone knows of any local talent in RI area?

    We used La Bella Musica and they sounded lovely. We had a duo but they also do trios and quartets. Contact is emilychen.violin (at) gmail.com.

    Thanks so much ladies!   Kristen, did you use La Bella for your Ceremony as well or just Cocktail Hour?

    We did just ceremony, but you can add on cocktail hour or extra hours for an additional cost. It was $325 for a duo for the ceremony, but our DJ was going to charge us an extra $200 to play recorded music for the ceremony anyway, so the $125 difference was worth it to us to have live musicians. It would have been $220 more to have them do cocktail hour, too, and I would have loved that, but we already had paid for that hour with the DJ so it didn't make budget sense for us. We had a violin and cello and they have many nontraditional songs like Plain White T's, classic show tunes, Sting, Star Wars, Disney music, etc. Guests enjoyed that during the prelude! Our recessional was to "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles. :)

    Shoot Emily an e-mail; she's very prompt. Good luck!

    Thanks Kristen, your post was so helpful! - I'll reach out to Emily and get some prices, the price you mentioned sounds very reasonable, especially if the DJ was going to be charging $200 anyways :)
