News

 

diSogno has really enjoyed the weddings we have been a part of already this summer. We love playing at The Cliffs - it is so QUIET up there and the view is breathtaking. Twigs is another favorite - a very beautiful garden spot. The Kroc Center is a new venue for us, and we're looking forward to returning there later this summer. Daniel Chapel at Furman is also another venue we like - I love that the chapel organist wears regalia!

Mostly, we love what we do - creating music with friends (and family!) is wonderful, but when our music makes a dream come true for a bride and groom - that is the best!

 One thing that makes diSogno unique is that from the group of musicians that we use, most have advanced degrees in music. Also, we offer a variety of instruments that enable you to build a group that really suits your venue

(and budget).

A cello, viola, and flute can be elegant in a small chapel or outdoors (flute sound carries well out-of-doors, btw) while a traditional string quartet can really fill a larger church or facility. Solo piano creates an intimate, relaxing mood. Piano + solo instrument can give an instant variety in timbre/texture and add a very personal feel to your wedding.

 

Here's what some of our brides have said about diSogno:

"Great group of musicians who worked with me before the wedding- played exactly what I wanted and were very good! Have no complaints at all."

"Despite the rain and other challenges they did an amazing job! I am so thankful they were able to be a part of our wedding day! They really helped to make the ceremony very special. I would highly recommend them!"

Places we've played/are scheduled to play include The Cliffs, Twigs Tempietto,

Daniel Chapel at Furman University, Zen,

The Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center,

and numerous churches around Greenville.

 

We already have twelve weddings booked this year and on into next year with several other inquiries pending, so contact us before your date is taken!

We hope to hear from you soon!

Check out our itinerary for the full details. If your date appears to be booked, contact us anyway. We can fit more than one event on one day if the times are far enough apart.
