    Beautiful string trio

    We had the string trio from Strings For All Occasions play during the ceremony and cocktail hour of our June 2023 wedding and they were fabulous! The communication before our wedding was great and the music was beautiful on the day of. Yolanda and her group are true professionals and helped make our big day perfect.

    Violinist made our ceremony perfect

    We wanted a short and sweet ceremony, so we figured having a violinist would be the perfect sentimental detail to our wedding. We're so glad we went with Strings For All Occasions! We worked with Yolanda, who was very responsive and detail-oriented. She went through all of our ceremony details and made sure she understood our vision. She also learned a new song for us, Afterglow by Ed Sheeran, because I had my heart set on walking down the aisle to it. All of the music during the ceremony was perfect. We absolutely recommend Strings for All Occassions!

    Strings for All Occasions's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kayla, for your touching review. We all appreciate it. Thanks to you, “Everglow” is now one of my “on repeat” songs. We wish you the best!

    Yolanda and her team were amazing, perfect additions to our wedding.

    Words cannot express my appreciation and happiness that they were part of our wedding. I could t have imagined it without them. The perfect additions. Friendly and personable. Extremely talented, they even played requested songs. I'm so grateful. I was blown away.

    Solo violin for backyard wedding

    I hired Yolanda to play solo violin at my backyard wedding, and I’m so glad I did . Her beautiful music made my day even more special . There is nothing quite like live music for a special occasion . She was so easy to work with , and made the planning process simple . I especially appreciated her organization and clear communication , which really helps when you’re trying to plan a wedding during Covid ! Would certainly recommend her to a friend .

    Flexible and Adaptable

    My wedding day ended up being super hectic, but SFAO was flexible and made my day so special! They played beautifully and were so friendly and professional. Leading up to the wedding, they were very easy to work with and made sure everything was communicated clearly to make sure the event went off without a hitch. It was always my dream to have a string quartet at my wedding and I'm so glad I chose SFAO! I had people coming up to me all night talking about how amazing they were!

    Professional and sounded AMAZING

    Working with Autumn and her team of talented musicians was a dream! They were very easy to work with, clear on communication, and super flexible. The venue had some tricky transportation logistics, and they handled getting their instruments (and themselves) to the ceremony with no complaints. The musicians sounded amazing- they timed everything perfectly, and the music itself was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend working with them!

    Yolanda and her string trio were beyond wonderful as the ceremony musicians at my recent wedding! Yolanda was super easy to work with and took the time to talk to me, understanding the processional order, timing and expectations for all transitions. The repertoire was extensive and she was able to adjust things as needed. The music was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect mood for our ceremony. I'm so happy I hired Strings for All Occasions-highly recommend!

    We recently had Yolanda play violin on her loop pedal for our ceremony and cocktail reception at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, CT. She was a total highlight of the wedding. Everyone commented on how amazing and talented she is. (And they are right!) She was so flexible and fun to work with every step of the way. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We can't wait to hear her play again. Thank you Yolanda!!!

    Yolanda is absolutely amazing. We hired her about 6 weeks prior to our wedding and she truely went above and beyond to make our day special. We requested a few songs and she learned them which was amazing in such a short amount of time. She was in touch with me every step of the way. There are no words that can describe how special she is as a person. I highly recommend Strings for all Occasions. Trust me you will not be dissapointed.

    Strings for All Occasions's reply:

    It was such a beautiful and jovial wedding. We were both so happy to be a part of it, and to learn the requested 80’s songs. Thank you again for your kindness.

    Best of wishes for you and Jerry!

    The violin, cello and bonus of a classical guitar for my solo absolutely MADE our daughter's wedding. They were such a class act, so agreeable about music selection and were such a beautiful addition to a lovely day. Very talented!! We strongly recommend!!

    We decided we wanted a string duo to perform at our small wedding. Strings for All Occasions had great reviews and we decided to try them out. From the beginning Yolanda (manager and player) was very responsive and was easy to work with. We wanted a specific piece for our ceremony and before we even had a contract Yolanda was able to find sheet music for the piece and was happy to accommodate us. She later sent us a recording of the piece which was also great. On the day of the ceremony they came, coordinated with our event planner, and set up and began playing and we didn't have to do a thing. We were just able to enjoy the beautiful music. After our short ceremony they stayed and continued to play as we took photos. Overall it was a great experience with Strings for All Occasions.

    For my wedding ceremony I had a string trio and had asked for 2 songs to be arranged for me. I believe that it was definitely worth the extra money to do so as the music was perfect and I loved their arrangements. Working with Yolanda was a breeze and she was very good at communication along the way.

    Despite the fact that there was a huge snow storm that delayed the start of the ceremony and some guests, Yolanda and the others still made it to the venue on time!


    Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and I will never forget you all!

    Strings for All Occasions's reply:

    Thank you so much, Melissa, for your beautiful review! The storm definitely made things stressful, but we planned in advance for it. Your music selections were by far my favorite out of any wedding! We had such a good time at the gorgeous Park Plaza Hotel.

    I wish you both the best!

    Yolanda Becker did a beautiful job at our wedding, and we could have been happier with her professionalism and quality of work. Multiple guest mentioned to us how lovely the music was, and how much nicer it made the ceremony. We had picked out a few songs for Yolanda to play and when time ran longer than we expected she pulled out more songs so there was no lull for our guest waiting for the ceremony to start. We give Yolanda a 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend her to anyone.

    We booked a single violin for our country church wedding, and it was perfect. She played music while all guests arrive and were seated and accommodated my particular music options for the bridal party and family processional with a quick transition to the bride's entrance. It was perfect! They worked great with our JP and our coordinator to arrange all queues and to arrange the logistics of the ceremony, it was just what we were looking for! Yolanda was a pleasure to work with up until the big day and even arrange a phone call so we could "meet" before the big day! Could not have asked for more, was a perfect option to add a romantic touch to our wedding!

    Strings for All Occasions and Yolanda were absolutely wonderful to work with for our ceremony! I highly recommend them.

    We booked a string quartet, and Yolanda was extremely curious and excited about how the live music could enhance our ceremony. She was completely accommodating about playing some unusual music for us! Throughout the planning process, Yolanda kept in touch to make sure she completely understood our needs. We had a call shortly before the event, to confirm all the details that would make the music work seamlessly, some of which I never would have known to think about without her! On the day, the musicians were punctual, professional, and they played BEAUTIFULLY. They added so much to our experience of the day, and I recommend them to anybody who loves music and wants that beauty to be part of their wedding.

    Thanks SFAO and Yolanda!

    Everyone was so impressed by our violinist, some thought the music at first was recorded because it was so beautiful and were shocked when they saw it was live! All night our friends and family were coming up to us to say how much they enjoyed the violin music and how special it made our wedding ceremony, and we agree with them 100%! I would recommend Strings for All Occasions to everyone!!

    Thank you, Tanya! It was a joy to perform at your wedding! I wish you both the best.

    Yolanda was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She is friendly and professional, helping us to find the music that was just right for our special day. As we chose the music for our wedding, Yolanda and her team did their best to ensure they could find/learn the music they didn't already have. You never would have known, as it sounded perfect, like it was played 1000 times. The violin and cello added the perfect touch to make our wedding personal and romantic. We would recommend Strings for All Occasions to anyone looking for the perfect addition to their event!

    Our wedding was on July 21, 2013. I knew I wanted a solo violinist for our ceremony and I found Yolanda Becker online. I was in California and our wedding would take place in Rindge, N.H. So I was taking a risk. From the moment I contacted Yolanda she was so positive and professional and put my mind at ease as to what she could provide and what my vision was for my big day. She was early, available, and extremely accommodating. Her playing so beautifully at the outside courtyard ceremony absolutely made the day that much more memorable. I would refer Yolanda Becker for any occasion where you want beauty, class, elegance, and talent. Thank you, Yolanda!

    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!
