My sisters wedding took place at Rye harbor, NH on a bluff overlookingthe Atlantic Ociean. The tide was coming in and ships were passing in the distance. The Isle Of Shoals was in clear view. We hired Yolanda Becker to play the violin at the beginning, during and end of the ceremony. Yolandaplayed beautifully! The selection for the occasion and the wedding theme were just what was needed to make it all work. It could not have been better.

Maid of Honor,
Sharon

Yolanda was amazing!!! The music she played was so beautiful and made for a very romantic occasion. She was so helpful in selecting the songs to play and in accommodating our needs. She has a great range of songs that she offered us. We were absolutely thrilled to have her play at our wedding and could not be more pleased!

Yolanda was amazing, from start until finish.

Of course, the big piece is the wedding day. We did a solo violin for the pre-ceremony, processional, and recessional. We picked from some pieces recommended by Yolanda, and she also accommodated our request for my wife's coming down to "Here Comes the Sun." It was beautiful - for as much as the day was a whirlwind, I remember the music so well.

My initial emails were answered within hours....and communication for the many months leading up to the wedding was always quick and pleasant. The price was MORE than reasonable - in fact, it was one of the best quotes we got. I happened to be outside when Yolanda showed up....awaiting the first look. She came in, set up, touched base with the venue, tuned up, and was ready to go....well ahead of our scheduled time.

Booking Yolanda / Strings for All Occasions is a no-brainer, sure-thing win for everyone involved.

Thank you for contributing to the most memorable day of our lives (thus far) :)

The string quartet from Strings for all Occasions added a beautiful, elegant touch to our wedding. They were professional and easy to work with...the manager, Yolanda, is extremely helpful. They have an extensive song list, and they will work with you to decide on the perfect selections! I'm so glad I hired them!

My wife and I were very pleased with Strings for All Occasions. Yolanda was our contact during the planning process. She was extremely helpful and always available to answer our questions. Yolanda was already booked on our day, so Valerie was the violinist for our ceremony. Valerie learned two songs by our request, which made our experience even more personal. Our ceremony was held outside under a large pavilion. Despite the rain, and the ceremony starting late, Valerie stayed positive. She played great, remained patient, and even stayed later than was planned. Thank you Yolanda and Valerie!

Yolanda of 'Strings" was very helpful in planning the ceremony music, arrived on time and the music was wonderful. We had a duo, they were very unobtrusive, which was not necessary, but appreciated.

Strings for all occasions were wonderful! Many people commented on how nice the music was and they were very nice to work with. They provided a list of many songs to choose from, but also provided the option to choose something not on the list and they would learn to play it. Yolanda always responded to me quickly and was extremely nice and professional. We couldn't have been happier with them and I highly recommend them for anyone.

Yolanda was PHENOMENAL!!!!! We had an outdoor ceremony for our wedding and she played the violin! The selections were wonderful, she even learned a new song that I had requested! Her playing added a whole other dimension to our ceremony!! I highly recommend her services and if we ever have another large event like this I will be calling to schedule her to play! She is the NICEST woman too! Very easy to work with! Thank you Yolanda for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

We were so happy with the results of Strings for All Occasions during the ceremony of our wedding as they added an elegant touch. Yolanda was a pleasure to work with as she was always on top of the planning and was more than willing to allow our friend, whom sang at the wedding, to practice with her on several occasions. We would recommend Strings for All Occasions without any hesitation. Thank you for being part of our memorable day.

Yolanda and one of her associates played a string duo at my wedding ceremony on 6/18/11. They did a wonderful job and we heard nice feedback from some of the guests too! They played Cannon, Bourree from Water Music Suite, and Brandenburg Concerto.

She was very helpful over the phone and through email. I would definitely recommend this company to any bride. My only constructive feedback was that it was a slight challenge choosing my music without having previous knowledge of each song. I looked up each song individually on You Tube and it was very time consuming. Yolanda did say that they were working towards getting some recordings made which would be so helpful! Or at least accurate links to other recordings.
Strings for All Occasions responded with the following comments:
Thank you so much for your review and helpful suggestion. We have updated the website, and we now have links to our most popular ceremony pieces. Thank you again for your suggestion!

Yolanda did an amazing job. She was very helpful and professional and stayed calm and was very accommodating even when my daughter decided less than two weeks before the wedding that she didn't want classical music but rather contemporary songs to walk down the aisle and back. The violin and viola definitely added a touch of elegance to a beautiful day.

Yolanda was extrememly professional throughout the entire booking process and put my mind at ease that everything would be perfect for the ceremony. She was fully prepared with the song selection and worked extremely well with the other musicians who she had never played with before. Guests at the wedding were raving about the music at the church and I know Yolanda was a big part of making our day a perfect one. I would highly recommend her services for any occasion.
