About Affordable Elegance Music
Affordable Elegance Music
Affordable Elegance String Ensemble is a collaborative ensemble of experienced professional musicians dedicated to bringing the beauty of live string performances to weddings and nuptials alike. Our high level of knowledge and experience allows us to provide an elegant performance that enhances the atmosphere of your special day. Music for your nuptials/wedding can be chosen from our vast repertoire (classical and non-classical) or, should you choose to add a personal touch, we can arrange any music for your event. We love to perform current music and would be happy to provide an arrangement of a piece for a nominal fee.
Originally from Chattanooga, TN, Marshunda co-founded and managed East Tennessee's Premier wedding musical group, The Lake Terrace String Trio for 10 years until her move to the New England area in 2006. Marshunda started playing the cello in the 6th grade because she had a crush on a boy....who played the cello. The rest is history! Having finished two masters degrees at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville she has since moved to the Boston area. Marshunda has conducted many youth ensembles and has been a guest conductor with various orchestras in New England. Currently, Marshunda is a Waldorf school music teacher and cellist.

Must have for ceremonies!!
We had the best experience working with Affordable Elegance Music from start to finish. Their communication was super clear and easy to understand every step of the way, which made planning our ceremony stress-free. They went the extra mile by learning songs specifically for our wedding, and their performance made our ceremony beautiful and unique. The team was extremely polite and professional throughout the entire process, and honestly, we have nothing bad to say about them. If you're looking for a string duo, we would recommend them to any couple.
Marshunda Smith•May 30, 2026It was completely our pleasure! We enjoyed your ceremony as well.

We could not have picked a better group to use for our ceremony at our wedding last month! They learned a new song and were flawless.

Last summer (2025), Affordable Elegance provided the music for our daughter’s wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour following. Anna’s violin playing was extraordinary. The music added just the right touch of emotion and beauty to the intimate ceremony. She played a mix of contemporary and classical music, and, as the company name suggests, her performance was both elegant and affordable! We were so satisfied that we have invited Anna, and also an associate who plays the cello, to play for our younger daughter’s wedding this fall!
Affordable Elegance Music•Jun 27, 2026Thank you so much, Betsy! This truly means the world to us. It has been a joy to be part of your family's celebrations, and we're honored you've welcomed Affordable Elegance back for both of your daughters' weddings. Anna will be so glad to read this, and she and our cellist Shannon, are already looking forward to playing for your younger daughter's wedding this fall. Thank you for your kind words, your trust, and for letting us share in these beautiful moments. Warm regards, Marshunda & the Affordable Elegance team
