Weddings / Special Events
We regularly play for weddings (cocktail hour, ceremony, pre-ceremony, intimate receptions) and other special events (parties, banquets, corporate) in New England and beyond.
We would be delighted to play our part in making your event special and unique.
Our repertoire is usually a mix of arrangements of classical and popular melodies, joyous jigs, reels, waltzes, and uplifting songs. We are happy to suggest music for your ceremony or pre-ceremony, but are always happy to work up an arrangement of your favorite melody.

Testimonials
We both knew we wanted live music at our wedding. Emmet and Naomi were the right choice, being both wonderful musicians and a wonderful couple. Choosing and keeping track of vendors can be impersonal, confusing, and stressful, but working with The Poor Cousins was very easy and their accompaniment to the ceremony and cocktail hour made us both cry like little babies!
I consider that a job well done!
A perfect duo for our wedding day! They learned and performed one of our favorite songs beautifully, in addition to their own lovely music. Sweet, dependable, professional, kind. Love these two!
As I watched my fiancee walk down the aisle to the Poor Cousins' performance of "On Raglan Road," I knew it was a moment I would never forget. Naomi and Emmet were the perfect event musicians--flexible, professional, and perfectly in tune with the tone of our wedding. The beautiful music they played helped us to celebrate our rehearsal dinner and forge lifelong memories at our wedding. In the days after the event, we couldn't count how many compliments we received about our amazing musicians.
We can't recommend them more highly
for any event!
