Based in Lancaster, PA, and traveling worldwide.
We offer stylish live music for Central PA weddings and events – from elegant ceremonies to full-evening entertainment.
Captivate your guests with Unforgettable Live Music.
Welcome
As a violinist and an avid party planner herself, our founder, Sara Irvine discovered the need for a classical gone modern, sound scape designer. She had a vision for a performance company that could convert the sound of vintage strings into timeless and fun, contemporary covers - because music should be engaging, unique, recognizable and make you want to dance! With that goal in mind, Vivace Live was born, and we've been creating memorable, and meaningful music experiences ever since.
Surprise!
Who knew your luxury event could feel like a fun Saturday night out?
Our musicians play a wide-range of music, from high-quality covers of your favorite songs to timeless classics. Experience strings alone, or pair them with one of our favorite DJ's.
With 20 + years of experience, performing for over 1200 events, Sara and Julianna will guide you through designing an entire evening of entertainment. You'll feel better knowing that one company will provide
entertainment from start to finish.
No need to piecemeal your music entertainment.

“Vivace Live musicians are extremely talented. We still have friends and family talking about them."
"We recommend Vivace Live to everyone a thousand times! P.S. I work at a wedding venue and Vivace Live is a preferred live music vendor- for every obvious reason! I could not imagine working with anyone else except Vivace Live! .”
- whitney, bride
"Oh the strings with the DJ was perfect for our reception!
" It's honestly the only way I would go moving forward. We are so thrilled with the outcome of the evening and all the guests commented on the music! Vivace knocked it out of the park.
- melissa & jonathon, bride & groom
"The band kept the party vibe and created a warm atmosphere."
" I had the pleasure of working with Vivace Live when they put on a show for our Corporate Awards Celebration and they really set the tone for a great evening. With Sara on the logistical side, planning was easy and it went a long way in making this event a success."
- sarah, enersys corporation
"Having Vivace play for our entire wedding was amazing!"
"Our friends didn't realize they don't need a DJ. We all have the same complaints with DJ's: Weddings are one of the few times we get together but then can't hear each other talk. Our guests weren't into the "cha-cha slide" but they were thrilled to chat and listen to live music! And those of us who wanted to dance, could still dance!"
- genel, bride
"The dinner music was exceptional, with guests dancing before the dance floor opened!"
"For our wedding, we chose the string quartet for the ceremony, pianist for the cocktail hour, and string quartet with drums for dinner. They learned a new piece for the ceremony and played exactly what I wanted during the bridal entrance. After their dinner performance, we recieved many compliments and requests for their contact. Investing in high-quality entertainment was worth every penny!"

You've probably been to countless events where you felt like you were going through the motions, like you were there as part of the backdrop and walked away without any strong memories.
But if you're lucky, you've also experienced the opposite, where live music made a moment so powerful that time stood still. You felt swept up in the emotions and you’ll remember those moments forever.
