Services: We are a piano/violin duo that create customized musical experiences to fit your special day. We love working with folks to understand your unique musical preferences and create a customized set list that will create an elegant atmosphere for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception. We play music from all genres ranging from classical, pop, folk/bluegrass, country, indie, musicals, etc. We will even learn your favorite songs and create new arrangements so you can create your own special wedding soundtrack.

Swing '39
“If you want fun music, this is it!”
Owners: Jane Halliday (she/her)
Established: 1997
Services: SWING ’39 plays what is known as "gypsy jazz" or "jazz Manouche'. The group emulates the music of gypsy guitarist D'jango Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grapelli who, in the early '30s in Paris, formed the "Quintette du Hot Club de France". This ensemble blended American swing jazz with Parisian dance music and gypsy musical idioms. It's a style of music that is energetic, sassy, and simply irresistible.
Member Statement: “Inclusivity is all about open arms. When we're not holding our instruments, ours are open wide.”
We are looking for wedding musicians who are passionate about fairness and inclusion to join our directory!
