Liz and Don played music for our wedding pre-ceremony and ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton, Tahoe. They were professional, easy to work with, and sounded beautiful. Our guests were really wowed. So glad that we were lucky enough to have them.

Our ceremony was changed from outside to indoors due to weather (the first snow of the season!). The Avalanche Duo was absolutely amazing!! The music was beautiful and absolutely no sound equipment was needed!! I highly recommend them and would hire them again.

It is always a pleasure to show up at a wedding and find Liz and Don there. They are professional, easy going and fun. They are always on our list of recommendations Rev John A Couple's Choice

Vendor recommendation from A Beautiful Tahoe Wedding

I love it when couples choose "Avalanche Violin & Guitar" to play during and after the ceremony. They are true professionals. Their music is any style you desire and it is always the classiest touch to a wedding to have string instruments played so well. Don and Liz are always my highest recommendation to couples!.

Vendor recommendation from Courtney Aaron | Photographer

The perfect compliment to any wedding ceremony, Liz and Don are a delight to work with and listen to! I highly recommend Avalanche for their talent, amiable nature and professionalism!
