Eclair Ensemble

Short and Sweet Ceremony Music

Éclair Ensemble specializes in ceremony‑only live music, focusing on calm, romantic classical pieces and well‑loved classic pop arranged for strings, piano, or mixed ensembles.

Instead of a fixed lineup, we create the right ensemble for your ceremony, whether that’s solo piano, a duet, or a full string quartet.

Our approach streamlines the process and maintains a refined sound, perfect for couples seeking a beautiful sound at a practical price.

Our Musical Style

Our music is chosen to feel calm, warm, and unobtrusive, supporting your ceremony rather than overpowering it.

We focus on classical elegance and gentle, timeless pop selections arranged to blend seamlessly with the ceremony flow.

Repertoire highlights:

Baroque and Romantic classics
Lyrical contemporary and classic pop arrangements
Music suited for intimate, reflective moments

What to Expect

Éclair Ensemble is designed specifically for wedding ceremonies. Our process is intentionally streamlined so you can enjoy live music without added stress or complicated logistics.

Before the Wedding

Once booked, we’ll confirm your ceremony start time and music selections. You’ll choose up to five prelude pieces from our repertoire, while the processional (Canon in D) and recessional (Salut d’Amour) are standard selections chosen for their calm, elegant flow.

The ensemble rehearses off‑site prior to your wedding, coordinating tempo, entrances, and transitions so everything is prepared in advance.

On the Ceremony Day

We arrive with ample time to set up, meet with the day-of coordinator, and warm up quietly. Prelude music will begin 15–20 minutes before the ceremony, followed smoothly by the processional and recessional. One musician will cue the group in real time to ensure seamless transitions, even if timing shifts slightly.

Because ceremony music is concise and structured, no on‑site rehearsal is required, allowing your ceremony to run smoothly without interruptions.

Our goal is to support your ceremony with beautiful live music that feels effortless, elegant, and thoughtfully prepared.
