Duo Bohème is a guitar and violin duo based in Virginia.
Duo Bohéme offers an elegant throwback to the 1920's and 30's, providing a selection of standard classical wedding repertoire, mellow pop and an array of Django Reinhardt - inspired French "gypsy" jazz tunes, otherwise referred to as Jazz Manouche.
We are Anna and Dave Hennessy, a husband and wife team of diverse performers, with decades of experience in a variety of musical settings ranging from the Kennedy Center to German music festivals.
Duo Bohème represents our foray into the world of Jazz Manouche.
WHAT OUR FANS ARE SAYING...
Where to begin. We first noticed Duo Bohème when they were playing at Brasserie Saison in Charlottesville. We kept commenting on how much we liked their sound and how well they seemed to know their space. We were in the process of planning our wedding at the Jefferson Theater and my now-husband had the ah-hah moment - can we ask if they would play during our cocktail hour? Fortunately for us, they said yes.
Fast forward a bit and we realized that we'd love to have an accompaniment to play with my cousin as she sang me down the aisle, and they would be just perfect. Mind you, my cousin lives in Brooklyn and wasn't coming down until the day before the wedding.
I wish we had a video of the moment they played and my cousin sang, it was perfection. Our guests cannot stop commenting on how timeless and wonderful the music was. I would say I can't imagine how they all pulled it off but they are so professional and terrific that we have an idea.
On top of all of this, Anna and David are just kind and lovely folks.
We are so delighted that they were part of our day, we'll have them again when we do the wedding all over again next year. Just kidding, though it was so fun, we're sorta serious.
We're still reeling in the awesomeness that was the music at our wedding! - G&T, Married 11/11/17

We could not have asked for a better music duo for our wedding. From our very first conversation, they made sure they understood our requests and accommodated us so well. Their talent, chemistry, and professionalism were truly outstanding, and they elevated every moment—from rehearsal to our ceremony. They were incredibly easy to work with. So many people came up to us asking who they were and commenting on how amazing the music was. It felt personal, intentional, and beautifully done. If you are looking for musicians who are not only gifted but also genuinely care about making your event unforgettable, look no further. They exceeded every expectation and helped make our wedding day absolutely magical. We are beyond grateful! Highly, highly recommend! - G and Keli, married 4/3/2021
Anna and Dave are first-class musicians and incredibly easy to work with. Anna and Dave provided the ceremony and cocktail hour music for our big day - the music was flawless and guests couldn't stop telling us how great it was to listen to Duo Boheme. Anna was super responsive in the build up to the wedding, and dealt with a last minute request with the upmost professionalism. I hope we are guests at a future wedding where Duo Boheme is performing so we can sit back and appreciate their music again! - Rob and Anne Marie, Married 9/25/2025

We absolutely loved working with Anna and Dave Hennessy for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. From the moment I heard their beautiful 6/8 version of Canon in D on their website, I knew I wanted them to be a part of our wedding day—and they exceeded every expectation. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they were also wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. One of my favorite parts was collaborating with them to curate a musical experience that felt personal and meaningful to us. They were thoughtful, flexible, and genuinely invested in helping us create the perfect atmosphere for our day. Their music added so much beauty and emotion to our ceremony, and the cocktail hour music was the perfect complement as our guests mingled and celebrated. We received so many compliments on the music from our family and friends. Anna and Dave brought such warmth, elegance, and professionalism to our wedding, and we are so grateful they were a part of it. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for talented musicians who will help make their wedding day truly special. - Megan M, married 6/17/2025
