"It was a real privilege to have David and Kirsten perform at our wedding. They performed for the ceremony and during the reception, learning 2 new songs to play for us. They made us feel at ease throughout the whole process and couldn't have helped us anymore if they tried. David and Kirsten are both so lovely and couldn't do enough for us, we couldn't recommend them highly enough. You helped make our day even more special and we will forever be grateful to you!" Matthew and Kayley

All about us…
Atma duo bring popular music of your choice to your wedding, played in a beautiful, folky style on the cello and guitar. We can play for any part of the wedding, whether it be a special song to walk down the aisle to, or for whilst signing the register, or a selection of contemporary & classic songs to accompany the canapés, reception, or through dinner.
Our music covers many eras and genres, from pop to rock and folk. We can also play background music as the guests are arriving, creating a relaxed and romantic atmosphere, which is particularly suited to a rustic barn wedding, but would equally suit a more elegant setting.
We have a wide ranging repertoire of well known and loved songs. Particular pieces can be learned and arranged on request for your wedding, even if you don't see them on our set list, which is just a small sample. The duo are suitable for small and large spaces, indoor and outdoor, and have amplification when required.
