    Adaptable Professional service

    We hired Hot Metal Strings for our wedding, and not only were our expectations met, but they were far exceeded. The musicians were provided with songs arranged by the groom, and each was performed masterfully. Many of our guests commented afterward that the music made the ceremony incredibly memorable, and for that we are eternally grateful. We would like to thank Hot Metal Strings for their excellent work, their professionalism, and their willingness to adapt to unfamiliar works.

    Hot Metal Strings's reply:

    Those arrangements were fantastic so thanks for introducing us to new songs and genres! Was an absolute pleasure to be a part of a wedding celebration that placed so much importance on the music and each song selected. Thank you for trusting us and we wish you many years of happiness together!

    Excellent!

    The ladies of Hot Metal Strings sounded wonderful! They added such class, and elegance to my daughters outdoor wedding! The music was beautiful! I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in live music for a wedding!

    Hot Metal Strings made our ceremony even more special.

    Hot Metal Strings absolutely rocked our wedding ceremony! Their music was phenomenal, and Maureen made planning a breeze. Our guests can't stop raving about them. Simply the best string quartet - hire them, you won't regret it!

    Amazing music!

    These guys are so talented and anyone would be lucky to have them perform at their wedding (or other event!). My fiance and I are both musicians. I have a bachelor’s degree in music. The music was the most important part of our wedding for my husband and myself. We had been to too many wedding’s where we cringed at poor musicianship. That is not something you have to worry about with Hot Metal Strings. They are the real deal. They are well trained, professional, kind, and all around wonderful to work with. When we wanted specific songs, they tracked down the music for us and made our dreams come true. Listening to them play is one of my favorite parts of watching our wedding video.

    Fabulous! Piano Cello Duo

    We were married on the Grand Staircase at the Allegheny County Courthouse, and we were allowed to add a cello to the existing piano. Hot Metal Strings was able to put together a piano-cello duo for us, and worked with us on music selection that would sound good. The musicians were marvelous and the music sounded beautiful in that space. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Hot Metal Strings's reply:

    I'm so glad you enjoyed the music we provided! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of that very special moment in your life. Congrats!!

    A beautiful addition of Elegance and thoughtfulness

    Hot Metal String provided our ceremony and cocktail hour with an element of elegance that was incredible. I received so many compliments on their performance and professionalism. They even took requests from the guest which was a hit! Extremely easy, accommodating, helpful, and thoughtful! I will be highly recommending them to all of my friends and family.

    The best in pittsburgh

    Maureen was incredibly responsive from the start. I decided to throw in a string duo at the very last minute to surprise my fiancé who said he thought it would be cool to have a life violin. Maureen was available and walked me through what would be best for our style and wedding in terms of getting a solo musician or a duo. We went with violin and cello and it was STUNNING. My fiancé was very impressed and pleasantly surprised. I’m also a local wedding planner and truly Hot Metal Strings will always be my #1 recommendation to clients seeking live strong music at their weddings.

    Hot Metal Strings's reply:

    It's always such an honor to be a part of fellow wending vendor's very special day so THANK YOU for allowing us to join you!! We're so glad your fiance enjoyed the surprise and that your expectations were met :) We hope to run into you at a future wedding and congrats to you both once again!

    Perfect Wedding Musicians

    I was beyond blessed to have these amazing and talented people perform at my wedding. Not only were they talented but kind and helpful! During my wedding which was the first time I heard my song they had been practicing for my bridal entrance and it was a huge relief they were playing perfectly and beyond what I could have hoped for! During my cocktail hour they played a beautiful mix of music that I got to enjoy while I had pictures taken. If you are considering getting them to play for any occasion I would say don’t hesitate and book them! Would HIGHLY recommend them!

    Hot Metal Strings's reply:

    Thanks so much, Meredith! We're so pleased that you enjoyed the music :) Thanks for introducing us to some very pretty songs, too!

    Absolutely perfect!

    We absolutely loved having Hot Metal Strings trio play for our wedding ceremony! We opted for the more modern music and every song was fantastic - our guests have raved about them! I will never forget the feeling of walking down the aisle with their beautiful music playing -- absolutely perfect! Maureen was so easy to work with and very professional as well. Book them for your wedding, you will be thrilled with the value that's added to your special day!

    This all woman group was efficient, responsive and played beautifully at our ceremony. I cannot recommend them more highly than to say they "exceeded our expectations." Do not hesitate to use them for your special day. A+

    We had a string duo for our indoor ceremony. Maureen provided with a list of suggested selections for each part of our ceremony (with a note that we could choose something else from their repertoire). Though my husband didn't even realize that we had musicians present, everyone else said that they did a great job!
