    Thank you Charleston Virtuosi

    We highly recommend hiring Charleston Virtuosi. Our family hired Charleston Virtuosi to perform at our daughter's wedding on Kiawah Island. Their DJ performing with the saxophonist was fantastic! We also enjoyed their ceremony string quartet. Our daughter couldn't be more happier. Thank you!

    Charleston Virtuosi's reply:

    Thank you for hiring us Patricia! It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding! Wishing you all the best!

    Their music made our wedding

    Me as an art producer working with different artists I felt incredibly lucky to have Charleston Virtuosi provide music entertainment for our wedding day in Charleston earlier this year. They were recommended to us by our wedding planner. From start to finish the communication with Peter was fast and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The Spicers Band and the string quartet were absolutely fantastic. The singers voices were simply mesmerizing. Our guests also enjoyed listening to their string pop covers during cocktail hour. Giving them five stars :)

    Highly recommend

    The Charleston Virtuosi string quartet along with their DJ, saxophone player and drummer, did an excellent job at our wedding reception in Charleston. DJ Jayson was able to maintain a high level of energy throughout the entire night, ensuring that everyone had a great time! Peter, the manager was easy to work with and also performed at our wedding with his string quartet.

    Wedding Musicians

    The music at our daughter's wedding was absolutely fantastic! The party band from Charleston Virtuosi and their afterparty DJ made the night unforgettable. The band played a great selection of songs that had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Musicians were incredibly talented and their outfits added an extra touch of style to the whole event. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment for our special day.

    Fans of music

    We had a destination wedding in Savannah. Music was very important to us and we couldn't have asked for a better lineup of musicians for our wedding. We hired almost thirty musicians through Charleston Virtuosi including their string orchestra and party band and a surprise performer during dinner. Peter and his team did an outstanding job!

    The Charleston Virtuosi string quartet, their DJ with saxophone player, and drummer, did an excellent job at our Spring wedding in Savannah. Peter's team was easy to work with and the communication was smooth from the beginning. Highly recommend this group! Steven & Tia

    Charleston Virtuosi Made Our Wedding Unforgettable

    We were absolutely blown away by the performance of Charleston Virtuosi string quartet at our wedding ceremony at the French Huguenot Church. Their music added a touch of elegance and romance to our special day. The band they provided for our wedding reception at Dewberry Hotel was equally amazing, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Not only did they play all our favorite songs, but they also learned and performed a few special requests that made our day even more memorable. We cannot recommend Charleston Virtuosi enough for their exceptional talent and professionalism

    Most Stree-Free Vendors

    We are so pleased with selecting Charleston Virtuosi to be a part of our wedding for both the ceremony and cocktail hour! We did not have a ton of questions, but all that we asked were answered quickly! This was one of our most stress-free vendors!

    You all are top notch!

    Charleston Virtuosi's reply:

    Thank you so much for hiring us, dear Janna! We wish you guys all the best, and lots of love and happiness!

    A celebration of life and love

    Charlesron Virtuosi gets 5 stars with helping set the ambiance and mood for the wedding of our daughter Katie to her husband Andrew. The trio of musicians, including Peter, “set the stage” for the beginning of the wedding ceremony. The classical music was a resounding success, as were the musicians playing during the cocktail reception,.

    Kudos to Charleston Virtuosi for their part in what we thought was a perfect celebration of life and love!

    Bravo!

    Hands down the best!

    We were both so happy we ended up going with Charleston Virtuosi for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. Having a destination wedding made trying to find musicians for our ceremony a bit more challenging. But working with Peter made it seem so effortless and all of the little details were taken care of. My wife is a huge Disney fan and Peter made sure to give us about a dozen Disney songs for the ceremony while guests were arriving. He didn't even have these listed on his website, but what we requested he made happen. We had the violin and cello duo for our ceremony and every single one of our guests said how amazing it was to have the string instruments for our beach ceremony. We then had the piano and saxophone duo for our cocktail hour. They made sure to set a vibe that was exactly what we wanted. A jazzy beach vibe that all of our guests seemed to enjoy while having drinks on the oceanfront deck. Would no doubt recommend booking either of these duos if you want amazing quality music, and also stress free planning for ceremony music. Peter even reached out to us following our wedding and set us a wedding gift which shows just how much detail he puts into the process. Couldn't have picked a better choice for our music.

    Amazing! Professional! Perfect!

    Charleston Virtuosi was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The founder, Peter Kiral, was so quick to respond to every email and was able to accommodate all my requests. On the wedding day, the musicians were there early and exceeded all my expectations! I highly recommend!

    Peter and Charleston Virtuosi were fantastic to work with at our wedding! Peter is a great talent, shows up on time, and is dressed sharp. DJ Jake was excellent, as well - playing all of our requested songs, adding in songs that fit our selections, and keeping the dance floor moving at all times. I highly recommend this company for your wedding or any event!

    I was looking for a cellist for my wedding at the Tybee Island Wedding Chapel on June 2, 2018, and I was happy that I found Peter because we wanted all live music and it required a cellist with musical selections we chose.. All the questions I had, they were answered promptly, and he also provided me with music recommendations even though I already chose my own music for him to play. He played everything so beautifully! Also, before the wedding started, he arrived early to practice with the pianist and made it his purpose to introduce himself to me. Also, at the end of the ceremony, he thanked me for allowing him to be apart of our wedding celebration. If you are in need of a cellist in the Charleston/Savannah area, I highly recommend using this service. The price also fitted into our budget and it added a touch of class too.

    Charleston Virtuosi's reply:

    Thanks for the review, George! It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding.

    Good luck guys!

    The Charleston Virtuosi came highly recommended to me through my wedding planner who had worked with them many times before. The quality, caliber and uniqueness of the string trio was unrivaled and unlike anything I have seen. We opted to play more contemporary songs for our guests arrival and for the ceremony. My family and guests are still raving about the music!! Peter and his musicians are professional and the best of the best. I cannot wait to get our video footage so I can ear all of their beautiful music.

    Charleston Virtuosi was recommended by my planner and I couldn't have been happier! Peter was super easy to work with through the entire process. I originally was only planning on a solo violinist but based off our contemporary song choices, Peter suggested a guitarist and it was a perfect addition! Highly recommend Peter & Charleston Virtuosi!

    Charleston Virtuosi's reply:

    Thanks for the review Mattatha and thank you for hiring my group.

    I am glad you've chosen the violin-guitar duo.

    Good luck!

    Best,
    Peter

    The entire process was terrific! Peter was super responsive and was able to answer any question I had very quickly. The day of my wedding I heard from dozens of guests who really enjoyed the music. Your performance, while my wife to be was walking down the aisle, elicited an emotional response from guests as well as from me. Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day the best day of my life!

    We were delighted with the DJ we chose for our wedding through Charleston Virtuosi! It was a destination wedding so all the arrangements were done long distance. Peter was very responsive to our needs and had lots of excellent suggestions. DJ Jake was awesome! He performed to perfection! We would definitely use him again and recommend him to others!

    Charleston Virtuosi was the perfect addition to our event. Peter checked in with me continuously which eased any anxiety I had. We didn't want to play traditional wedding songs and Peter worked with me to find choices that would fit our style. We received tons of compliments on their music!

    My daughter's wedding was held March 4, 2017 at the Farm at Ridgeway. I had heard Charleston Virtuosi, string quartet, play at another wedding in Columbia and thought they were excellent. I didn't know how easy they would be to work with. Their response to emails was immediate. We had a 30 minute cocktail reception prior to the wedding and the quartet played for that 30 minutes and then during the ceremony. We sent them a list of the music we wanted and they could play everything we sent. They were willing to work with our vocalist before the ceremony and adjust to her needs. I would highflying recommend them for any event!

    Charleston Virtuosi's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review Donna. Thanks of having us!

    Good luck!
