    Incredible Musicians!!

    We hired Puget Sound Strings for our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour music and we are so happy with our choice. They are incredible musicians and have such a diverse repertoire (especially of modern songs, which was the vibe we were going for). They also learned "Simply The Best" for the processional and it was perfect. They helped make the ambiance of our wedding absolutely incredible. Puget Sounds Strings is also so organized and all of the musicians were so kind.

    Incredible Musians

    Puget Sounds Strings was an absolute pleasure in which to work. The planning process with Rebecca was easy and seamless. She was available, detailed, and answered all of our questions. The quartet, led by the amazing Winnie, played a beautiful set as guests arrived for our Black Tie New Year's Eve wedding. The processional and recessional were perfectly queued, and exactly what we asked for. Then they nailed the selection during our cocktail hour - evoking festive energy for the remainder of our evening. Highly recommend this company!

    The Absolute Best in the Industry!

    My (now) husband and I loved having Puget Sound Strings perform at our July 2022 wedding at AXIS Pioneer Square in Downtown Seattle! They really helped create a beautiful ambiance for our guests upon arrival to our ceremony, and the musicians really set the tone for the evening. We particularly loved how vast of a music selection Puget Sound Strings has which allowed my husband and I to personalize the music and represent us as a couple. We also got many compliments from our guests for the fun, modern songs the musicians played. We highly recommend Puget Sound Strings, you truly won’t be disappointed!

    A dream wedding with the most beautiful music!

    Imagine a spring garden in bloom with a bride walking down the path to her groom as a string trio plays the most pleasant music. Puget Sound Strings provided this magical moment for my son and daughter-in-law at Lakewold Gardens. They curated a beautiful blend of classical and modern songs, and their performance was masterful. It was truly a dream wedding. Thank you, Puget Sound Strings!

    Beautiful Addition to Our Ceremony

    So glad we went with Puget Sound Strings for our ceremony. They did a custom arrangement of a Prince song for us, it turned out perfectly. Everyone was on time, flexible, and super professional. Correspondence with Rebecca leading up to the event was great. Hire this crew if you are thinking about strings--you won't regret it!

    Fabulous string quartet!

    Puget Sound Strings was the perfect addition to our wedding! Our quartet was very talented and professional. They played an array of pop covers and timed the songs perfectly as we walked down the aisle. Highly recommend them!

    Beautiful music from PSS

    Rebecca from PSS was fantastic to work with! For our day of, we had a cellist & violinist. PSS was so understanding and flexible during our venue and timing switch-ups due to the pandemic. Our guests noted how much they enjoyed the music and brought an elegant touch to the ceremony.

    Easy to work with and BEAUTIFUL performance

    The Puget Sound Strings performed the music for my wedding ceremony as well as during the cocktail hour that followed. They were a pleasure to work with and performed beautifully. They make the timing of every song seamless, which in turn made the processional, recessional, etc. stress-free for everyone in the wedding party. They have a great repertoire of songs and also are willing to do custom songs for a very reasonable fee (fee based on complexity). Definitely recommend!

    Wedding Music

    Puget Sound Strings provided some beautiful music for our wedding. Their response times made it quite easy to work with them. We had a COVID wedding, and everyone from Puget Sound Strings were great at working with our other vendors to make sure everything went well while still maintaining all the state recommendations for COVID prevention.

    Variety of small ensemble options for your wedding

    We booked a flute and harp duo for our wedding ceremony. Of course as the bride I didn’t get to hear too much of their prelude or postlude music, but what I did hear was beautiful – very talented musicians. They barely needed any instructions about what the cues were for the processional song and recessional song – they were obviously very experienced at performing at weddings. Puget Sound Strings makes it super easy to book a variety of different small ensemble groups and pick from a variety of wedding classics, classical, pop, jazz, and movie/musical theme music. For a small fee the ensemble can also learn a new song not on their list of songs, but they had so much variety that I didn’t find that to be necessary. Puget Sound Strings has a great system setup, including online payment, easy to use booking form, and one point person for all communication up until the week of the wedding when I got the contact info for the musicians.

    Puget Sound Strings's reply:

    Thanks for your feedback Lisa! I'm really glad to hear that you were satisfied with our music, and that you found our booking and communication to be convenient for you.

    Beautiful sounds to compliment any wedding

    We thoroughly enjoyed having Puget Sound Strings be a part of our wedding. I always wanted a string band for my ceremony and they did an outstanding job. I requested a custom song for the bridal entrance and it brought so many of our friends and family to tears hearing my husband and I's song on strings. I absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for music for their wedding. (photos by Marnie Cornell Photography)

    Hire the strings...and bring the DJ!

    HIRE THESE MUSICIANS. This will be long, but let me start out by saying that choosing the musical entertainment for our wedding was one of the most stressful parts for me. There seemed to be so many options, whether I wanted a band or a DJ, what packages... One thing I did know for sure was that I wanted to have a string quartet at our ceremony. My coordinator, Erika Hernandez, referred me to Puget Sound Strings specifically for the quartet, and after the sticker shock of every other wedding vendor, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices Puget Sound Strings offered. On top of that, I saw that they had a "Bring the DJ" package which allowed you to have a string quartet and a DJ for a steal. Now, I am a person who likes to do her research and read lots of reviews. There were absolutely ZERO reviews for the DJ with P.S.S. so I felt like I was taking a bit of a gamble, but honestly it was the best decision I made. For the string quartet, we picked our ceremony songs which they played beautifully. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting how wonderful the music was for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Once we transitioned to dinner, Brad, the DJ, took over. He actually came over to my husband and I to ask us since we chose cinematic music for our ceremony if we would like him to continue that theme through dinner. This was fully of his own initiative and we loved it. We watched our guests have fun guessing what movie the current song was from, and the music was a conversation starter all through dinner. And then....the dance party. One of my main goals for our wedding was to have a big dance party, and truly the dancing never stopped. Puget Sound Strings helped make my wedding absolutely perfect, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Puget Sound Strings's reply:

    Kathy, we're soooo glad you took a chance on us with our DJ package, and we're even happier to hear that we delivered! All the best.

    Dream wedding with perfect music

    I have always dreamed of having a string quartet for my wedding, and I couldn't have picked a better one! Any questions I had were answered quickly, and the contract and planning was easy. Before the wedding started, they even played some fun songs that matched my musical style, like 'Love is an Open Door' from Frozen! And I will never forget that moment the ceremony started. All my bridesmaids started walking, and then it was my turn. My song was played perfectly, and it took so much effort not to cry as I walked down the aisle. Every aspect of my wedding was perfect, and Puget Sound Strings was a big part of it.

    They are fabulous and we could not have been more pleased!

    What a talented group of musicians and what a pleasure to work with them!!! They performed for our daughter’s wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and everyone was raving about the beautiful music that they produced. But the show stopper for our family was the song that my daughter chose to walk down the aisle - Portuguese Long Song from the movie, Love Actually. They learned this song for her wedding and it actually brought tears to my eyes- it was even more beautiful than in the movie. They are the real deal and we are internally grateful! They are fantastic!!!

    Simply, amazing!

    Puget Sound Strings provided a string trio for my husband and I's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in July 2019. I regret it's taken me so long to write this review! The string trio was simply, AMAZING. They truly made our wedding ceremony unique and helped bring our vision into reality. My guests were raving about that portion of our ceremony and cocktail hour - they were so impressed and enjoyed the music!

    It was Rebecca who we communicated mostly with through email prior to the wedding day. Let me just say, she made the communication and booking process so easy. Their repertoire was definitely impressive and we had a lot to chose of pieces to from. There were 3 specific songs we wanted for our ceremony (Bittersweet Symphony, Here Comes the Sun, & Stand by Me) and I was thrilled to find out they were able to play for us! I also want to thank Rebecca for helping us decide on a song for our bridal party to walk out to after the ceremony. We wanted something a little more upbeat, but still elegant at the same time. She helped us decide on Viva La Vida - the PERFECT ending!

    Overall, we were so happy with our decision to have Puget Sound Strings play at our wedding. The booking process was so easy, the string trio came and did an amazing job and everything was just executed so professionally! It truly made our wedding extra special - I had no idea how magical the write music would make the most important part of our day. If you're thinking of booking PSS for your big day or event, DO IT! I assure you, you will not regret it! :)

    Ultimate dream!

    It was always a dream of mine to walk down the aisle while having a string duo playing. Brian called the day before to go over logistics and was very professional. Thank you to Brian and his colleague for making a dream of mine come true! The music was amazing. I just wished it was a bit louder. Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!!

    Excellent experience from PSS!

    We hired Puget Sound Strings to play at our Roche Harbor wedding in July 2019. Rebecca and Eli were wonderful to work with - responsive to questions, enthusiastic about setting up details, and happy and excited to be there when it finally happened! They arranged many pieces for us for a very reasonable rate and performed them wonderfully, and their travel fees are incredibly affordable. We loved having them at our wedding and recommend them for yours!

    The quartet brought the wedding to another level

    Puget Sound Strings provided a string quartet for my son's wedding at Edgewater House in Olalla, WA, in June 29, and the quartet raised the level of the entire event. The musicians were professionals who played with great depth and beauty. During and after the event, many guests commented about how stunning the music was and said the quality was well beyond the 'usual' string quartets they had heard at other weddings over the years. It was also notable that the quartet felt like a cohesive group, not like four classical musicians who just happened to be assigned to this wedding and might not have worked closely together before. We very, very strongly recommend Puget Sound Strings.

    Beautiful Music!

    We had a strings duo from Puget Sound Strings play our wedding and our cocktail hour. They were super professional and easy to communicate with! Their repertoire has a lot to choose from, so you can craft the exact feel you want. They even have a sample ceremony song list if all the choices overwhelm you! One of my favorite moments from my wedding was when our recessional began to play. We chose "When I'm 64" by the Beatles and our guests got a kick out of it, they even started singing along! I'd highly recommend working with Puget Sound Strings for any event!
