Highly Professional and Skilled

We had a string trio and a pianist for our wedding ceremony music and wow- they were truly incredible. I've been to a few weddings with string instrumentalists, and the people at White River Music truly stand out. They played completely on key, there were no mistakes, and Shannon was extremely open to any questions we had. If you're unsure if string music is for you, go for it- the live music really made our wedding amazing. Even a month later, we keep hearing how beautiful the music was. Highly recommend!

Magical experience

This string quartet did an excellent job at my ceremony. They showed up early, dressed beautifully, played all the correct songs, and made my ceremony the magical experience that it was. They started and finished songs seamlessly, and my guests kept going on and on about how they just added that something special to our ceremony. Leading up to the ceremony they were easy to communicate with and very helpful. I highly recommend this company.

We had a string trio for our ceremony and we couldn't be happier! We had two special requests, one of which was a Backstreet Boys song, and they made sure that we got the wedding of our dreams! The music was absolutely beautiful

I used the violin and cello for the ceremony music. I had some special request for my husband and they made sure to make that happen. They were very flexible and they sounded amazing!

White River Music was great to have for our ceremony! They were extremely responsive, which was much appreciated, given that many other wedding vendors are not. It made the planning process much easier! They were also flexible with us as we debated between having them play for just the ceremony or the ceremony and cocktail hour. She spent a lot of time with me on the phone going through options and how the transition might work! Strongly recommend!

Excellent experience all around. They were willing to learn music that was not in their repertoire which made our event perfect. Communication was prompt and informative. I could not have asked for anything better.
