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.

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

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!

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 Duo for our Wedding Ceremony!

It was incredible to work with The Fox Duo and we loved having them perform at our wedding ceremony. They are so talented, professional, and accommodating. They have such an extensive list of songs in their repertoire and it was so fun to go through them and pick songs for the different aspects of our ceremony. They take special requests, and I requested my favourite song for my bridal processional and they played it so beautifully! It was so incredibly special. I had also seen on their YouTube channel that they had a cover of “All I Want for Christmas is You” and it was so fun to have that as our recessional song for our Christmas themed wedding!
They were so easy to communicate with and I really appreciate their time answering all of my questions. They did such a great job during our ceremony timing all of our songs to each moment, every transition was so seamless. We’re so fortunate that we could have Liam and Zach perform at our ceremony! I highly recommend them!

Best duo for your wedding!

Liam and Zach are absolutely amazing musicians and had come highly recommended by our dj when we were looking for live music for the ceremony We had them provide our ceremony and cocktail hour music. They have an amazing range of music from classical to contemporary so there is definitely something to meet every mood. We had so many comments from our guests how much they love the music and couldn’t believe the rendition of Green Day’s Good Riddance that was our recessional song I would highly recommend The Fox Duo for your wedding!

Outstanding Musicians for Wedding Ceremony


We had the Fox Duo perform at our wedding ceremony and we simply cannot recommend them enough! Liam was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning and made the process so easy from booking, to logistical needs, to song selections. They are such talented musicians and we feel so fortunate that they were available to perform at our wedding. In addition to their outstanding repertoire of music on their website, they also accept special requests. We ended up adding in two meaningful songs to us and they were executed flawlessly. We received so many compliments about the music. If you're looking for professional and outstanding music for your wedding, look no further. - Eryn & Brett
