Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

My style blends romance and fun, with a keen focus on the details of each music genre to create an authentic experience. I believe in honoring the essence of the music while adding my own unique twist, ensuring every performance is both true to its roots and refreshingly original.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

First, I want to understand the vision you have for your event—what tone, atmosphere, and feeling you’d like to create for your special day. From there, I’ll present tailored options and pricing that align with your vision and budget. Once we find the perfect package, I’ll send a contract for review along with booking details. A 50% deposit secures your booking. I also make it a priority to meet with each client well before the event to finalize all details and song selections. This ensures the musicians have plenty of time to prepare and you can focus on enjoying the lead-up to your big day with less on your to-do list!

What is included in your most popular packages?

My most popular package offers the perfect soundtrack for your special day, combining ceremony and cocktail hour music. It includes a lovely 30-minute pre-ceremony set as guests arrive, carefully chosen entrance and exit music, plus any special song requests for key moments such as a unity candle. You’ll also enjoy a seamless flow of music throughout your cocktail hour.

What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?

Remember, there are no wrong choices when it comes to selecting music for your wedding. If a song feels meaningful to you or brings back special memories, that’s all that matters. Trust your instincts—it’s your day, and the music should reflect what makes it uniquely yours. I’m here to support you every step of the way, helping you choose the perfect soundtrack for your celebration.

What current trends have you seen at weddings?

Trend: More couples are opting for soloists or duos (e.g., solo violin with tracks, violin and piano, or violin and harp) to create a more intimate and personal atmosphere. Why: These smaller ensembles offer a more flexible and customizable experience and often work well in both small and large venues. The intimate vibe is particularly popular during ceremonies and cocktail hours.

What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

Choose a venue where you love both the outdoor setting and the rain plan. That way, you’ll feel confident and excited about your day, no matter what the weather brings!

Rachel Durrum

After receiving her BA with emphasis in music performance, Rachel spent many years performing and leading music ensembles. She slowly began dipping her toe into solo performance in 2021 and in 2023, Rachel Durrum Music was founded as a way to offer the best of both worlds. Solo Violin AND ensembles… something for everyone!. I love what I do and the variety that comes with it. The office is always something fresh and new and I get to support my clients on some of their most important days. 

A Little About Us

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

At Rachel Durrum Music, we don’t just provide background tunes—we craft personalized, live musical experiences that help tell your unique love story. With a deep passion for music and a background in performance, Rachel brings a level of care and expertise that sets us apart. We offer a wide range of customizable ensembles, from intimate solo violin to full string quartets and acoustic bands, ensuring your wedding’s soundtrack perfectly matches your style and vision. With professional sound services and attention to every detail, we guarantee the music will resonate clearly and beautifully throughout your celebration. Let us create an unforgettable, emotional atmosphere that reflects your love story—because your wedding deserves a soundtrack as unique as you are.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

During college, Rachel spent a lot of time with her roommate and friends from South America, often speaking Spanish. As a result, many people would mistake her for being South American! While she’s not as fluent now, she can still dust off her Spanish skills if the situation calls for it.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

Rachel’s love for music began in a family full of singers, but it was the violin that truly captured her heart and helped her discover her unique voice. Her passion for music led her to play at a friend’s wedding shortly after music school, which sparked her desire to create beautiful, meaningful experiences for couples on their special day. Since then, she’s found a perfect fit in the wedding and event industry, where she can combine her love for music, her organizational skills, and her ability to connect with people to provide clients with an unforgettable experience.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

Create a wedding playlist on your favorite music app and add songs to it throughout your engagement. That way, when it’s time to choose your wedding music, you’ll have a thoughtfully curated list of songs that truly reflect your style and memories!

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

My favorite new wedding tradition is having grandmas or aunties as flower girls. It’s the sweetest, most heartwarming gesture, and such a beautiful way to honor the special women in your life.

Tell us more about the couples you usually get the pleasure of working with.

My clients are often romantic, adventurous souls who cherish personalized details. They have a deep appreciation for the magic of live music, often recalling special moments spent in venues where the music elevated the experience. They want to bring that same unforgettable energy and connection into their wedding day.

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

The greatest compliment I can receive is when clients tell me they can feel the joy and love in my music. Playing is my passion, and I truly believe it’s my life’s purpose to share that love and joy through every note, giving my best to create meaningful moments for others.
