Magical Musical Experience!

The Fox played beautiful instrumental music at our lovely fall wedding. They managed to capture the exact sound we were looking for. They provided us with a large catalogue of song choices, and they offered to play other songs as well. We chose about 25 songs, including many of our favourites, and they all sounded amazing. They showed up on time, set up on their own, and played their music wonderfully. Many of our guests specifically told us that they really enjoyed the touch that the Fox's instrumental music brought to our wedding, and they loved hearing acoustic covers of their favourite songs. They had a lot of fun guessing the songs as they were being played. We had a great experience with Fox and would recommend them to any of our friends and to anyone looking to add a special unforgettable touch to their wedding.

Highly Recommend The Fox Music!

The Fox Music performed at our very last-minute micro wedding. Right from the start, Liam was so easy to work with! He replied quickly, was very organized, and despite our last-minute request, he made it happen. We had a violinist and a pianist (Elianna and Chelsea), and both were fantastic. They were so sweet and accommodating. Our guests loved them, and they added a special touch to our wedding. They even learned an Italian song on the fly, and performed it beautifully.

AMAZING ceremony and cocktail hour music

We loved having this duo at our wedding!
Their music catalog is HUGE, definitely something for everybody, and we were even able to request songs for our ceremony that weren't on the list. All of our guests loved their renditions and they created an amazing atmosphere, both live and pumped through speakers.
It was lightly raining during our ceremony and they still managed to perform perfectly under an umbrella. Their professionalism and skill was obvious, can't recommend them highly enough!!

Just perfect

We engaged The Fox Music to play at our wedding. They performed beautifully before and during the ceremony and throughout the cocktail hour.

Communications with Liam were excellent from start to finish and Zach and Danielle’s piano and violin duets added so much to our day. We complicated things by adding a singer who they worked with to ensure that nothing was left to chance.

The music selection was incredible and everyone especially loved the mash-ups.

Thank you so much, we would highly recommend The Fox Music for any type of gathering

FoxDuo + Vineyard = Magical!

We wanted to sincerely thank Liam & Fox Duo for their beautiful music at our recent wedding at Ravine Winery this past weekend. Their style and presence complimented the vibe so well. We got great feedback from our guests about the quality and special touch it added for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We appreciated the ease and professionalism throughout the planning process and would highly recommended their talents to any event, certainly not just weddings. We would love to work with them in the future.
Many thanks, Marco & Amanda

Amazing music

We worked with The Fox Duo for music pre and post church wedding ceremony. The music was absolutely beautiful and our guests loved it. Not only do they have an extensive library of songs but they were also flexible and able to accommodate our requests. I would recommend them to any couple.

Extremely talented, friendly and met every song request!

We were so pleased with the performance by The Fox Music at our wedding. They are extremely talented, friendly and very open to customized music requests! We got to choose every song we wanted playing from their repertoire and even added a few personalized selections of our own. They met our very special request of having melodies from The Legend of Zelda play during the ceremony! It was like a dream come true! We received numerous compliments and couldn’t be happier with their wonderful performance at our wedding! Highly recommended The Fox Music if your looking to get creative with the live music at your wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
