Fantastic With Fizz was born when Sam retired as a headline multi instrumental entertainer working on cruise ships in order to raise her family. Sam and Andy met in London many years ago on the music circuit and always planned to work together one day. Sam is now permanently back on terra firma so the dream has become a reality and Sam and Andy are rapidly becoming a regular fixture at weddings and events all over the UK.

The Violin and Guitar Duo
A violin and guitar wedding duo offers couples a beautifully balanced sound that feels both intimate and elegant, making it a perfect choice for wedding ceremonies of any style. The soaring, expressive tones of the violin blend effortlessly with the warm, rhythmic texture of the guitar, creating a rich musical atmosphere that enhances every moment — from the first guests arriving to the final notes of the recessional. As experienced wedding ceremony musicians, a violin and guitar duo provides not just music, but an emotional backdrop that transforms the entire celebration.
One of the greatest advantages of choosing a violin and guitar wedding duo is versatility. This pairing can move seamlessly between classical favourites, romantic film themes, contemporary love songs, and soft instrumental covers of popular music. Whether a couple dreams of walking down the aisle to a timeless classical piece or a modern ballad reimagined in an elegant instrumental style, this duo can tailor the soundtrack to reflect their unique love story. Professional wedding ceremony musicians understand how to shape each moment musically, ensuring smooth transitions and perfect timing throughout the ceremony.
Beyond the ceremony itself, a violin and guitar wedding duo can also provide music for drinks receptions and intimate cocktail hours. Their warm acoustic sound fills a space without overpowering conversation, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere for guests to enjoy. From gentle background melodies to more upbeat selections, their performance keeps the energy flowing naturally while maintaining an air of refinement.
Couples often choose a violin and guitar wedding duo because of the personal touch they bring. Unlike large ensembles or recorded music, a live duo offers direct interaction, flexibility, and emotional expression that feels truly special. These wedding ceremony musicians can adjust tempo, volume, and style in real time to match the mood of each moment, responding intuitively to the flow of the day.
In addition to musical excellence, professional duos handle all technical aspects, from sound setup to coordinating with officiants and planners. This ensures the ceremony runs smoothly, allowing couples to relax and fully immerse themselves in their special day. With years of experience performing at weddings, a violin and guitar duo understands the importance of reliability, presentation, and seamless performance.
Choosing a violin and guitar wedding duo means choosing elegance, warmth, and unforgettable live music. As trusted wedding ceremony musicians, they create an atmosphere filled with emotion, beauty, and timeless charm — turning each wedding ceremony into a deeply meaningful and memorable experience.
