Beautiful Chamber Music on a Beautiful Evening

The Art-Strings Quartet played for the cocktail hour of our daughter's outdoor wedding reception in Westchester County, New York. Among our family and friends are many musicians and classical music lovers, so we wanted both amazing playing and a program that was a little different from the usual wedding fare. Alex and his group of superb musicians played Bach, Handel, opera themes, Piazzola, Gershwin, Joplin, Elgar, Grieg, and more, without even having to think about it. The guests couldn't stop talking about the wonderful music.

Beautiful Strings

If you want to make your event super classy, i would tell you to pick Art Strings Ensembles. Alex and his team are brilliant musicians and can literally plan anything. We went from cold play to the game of thrones theme music. It was all so brilliant. Prior to our ceremony, they were very helpful. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an elegant evening.

Amazing experience!

We hired Art Strings Ensemble for our wedding on September 28th. Alexander was great to work with -- highly professional, responsive, and flexible. On the day of our wedding, the quartet arrived on time, set up, and played beautiful music throughout out ceremony and cocktail hour. Art Strings is great! Highly recommend.

Amazing ceremony and cocktail hour music!

My husband and I knew that we wanted live musicians for our ceremony once we heard a sample of Art Strings music we knew they were the ones! We had a string quartet. We listened to some of their more modern covers and they were so good that we also had to have them for our cocktail hour.

Perfect addition to our wedding!

Alex and his team were true professionals who played beautifully during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Although they have an extensive repertoire, they learned three new pieces for our ceremony, which made the evening even more memorable. Our guests loved the quartet and complimented their musical ability. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Art-Strings Ensemble!

Simply wonderful

Whatever your event, 100% hire Art-Strings Ensemble—you will not regret it. Alexander was extremely communicative, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music. These guys are super talented and went above and beyond to honor nearly all of our musical requests and ensure a truly lovely, meaningful, and memorable occasion.

Seamless, easy , transparent , professional , wonderful value

Artstrings were wonderful . Our guests could not stop raving and the atmosphere provided was spectacular. Our daughter’s musical choices were honored and played beautifully. My only regret was we could not hear the entire performance because we walked the bride down the aisle and entered the chapel after much of the music was played , but the video was great ! I recommend highly and will use them again at our next wedding !

Alexander Abayev and his Art-String Ensembles recently performed at a wedding at which I officiated. I have to say that the music was superb, well-suited to the event, with perfect timing and performance. Art-String Ensembles gets an A+++ in my opinion and I look forward to working with them again soon!
