As husband and wife, we founded Mav Duo to devote our work exclusively to the musical design of weddings. Each commission is the expression of two decades of specialist knowledge, skill, and performance experience.
We developed our craft through concert performance, music research, and international touring, alongside ensembles and agencies. It was recognised by Arts Council England through the Global Talent route. Yet its deepest lesson was not simply how to perform, but what performance is for.
Across those years, we saw how easily music could turn inward, placing display before meaning and the performer before the occasion. We chose another course. We placed our craft in service of the people and the promise they are making.


A wedding is more than a celebration. It is the giving of one life to another through a promise of faithfulness, self-giving, and care. Families, friendships, cultures, and different ways of seeing the world are brought into the presence of that promise.
Mav Duo was founded on one conviction: the music must belong to the promise, not to those performing it. Through harp and cello, the vow is carried beyond the words in which it is made, reaching families and friends as a language they can share. What begins between two people is allowed to resound through all who stand beside them.
“They re-compose and re-orchestrate the songs in a perceptive way, injecting life without losing in the process the vitality, energy and rhythmic drive of the original music”
