Looking for a classy and fun touch to your event? Our name is Grace Notes and we help make parties come alive with live string music!
When we're really bringing it, they'll be four of us showing up as a quartet, but we also pair back to a trio and duo depending on your event needs. We specialize in arranging and performing custom renditions of modern pop songs, but we mix it up with classical styles to bring each client's vision to life!
We're based Niagara but are frequently in Hamilton, Toronto, and surrounding areas.
So if having a party your guests rave about is a non-negotiable, and you love the sound of string instruments, then we should chat! Talk soon :)
As a wedding coordinator, working with professional, talented vendors is a must. Grace Notes are a dream to work with, regardless of what players perform. They elevate every ceremony and cocktail hour they play. They are the cherry on top of the best day of your life.

Grace Notes started when two Brock University music students, Allison and Grace, started a violin cello duet and became obsessed with making the best music possible. Fast forward 10 years (holy moly that went by fast!) and Grace Notes now one of the most sought after ensembles in Southern Ontario, offering string duet, trio and quartet, and collaborates with our professional music friends throughout the Niagara region (check out our Instagram to meet the whole team). Specializing in creating custom arrangements of special requests, Grace Notes has accumulated a monstrously large library classic favourites of today and yesterday– all of which hold very dear memories to us as I'm sure they will for you too as the accompaniment to your event!
We keep it simple! We just need an armless chair for each musician and adequate weather preparations to keep our instruments healthy! If your event is out side, we do require shade but can arrange to bring a tent if need if we have notice. Thank you!
