    Music to match the occasion

    Leslie (violinists) was very profesional in all respects. Her musical selections matched perfectly with our event. We would engager her again and mention her to our friends.

    Wonderful Music for Any Occasion

    Viva la Strings played at our corporate holiday open house. The music was delightful and greatly enhanced the occasion. They were easy to work with and willing to play any type of music. They are very professional and talented musicians!

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Thank you for the great comments! While we love weddings, we also love to step out and play for corporate events and holiday parties! Thanks for having VLS Columbus for your Holiday Open House!

    The best music ever

    Viva la strings was so amazing! They did an awesome job at performing our songs. Everyone loved them!

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! The quartet said you were very happy and came to talk with them during the cocktail hour. They told me your heard us play at the Dublin Pub in Dayton! That is so awesome! Thanks again for having Viva la Strings and thanks for the great review!

    Great Wedding Music

    Steven and Caleb were fantastic playing cello and violin to accompany our outdoor wedding ceremony. The songs we selected together for the processional, recessional, and postlude were played perfectly to match the pace of the wedding parties walking down the aisle, the conclusion of the ceremony, and to support pictures. Pendra came in and saved the day for us by arranging for Steven and Caleb 1.5 weeks before our ceremony, as a family member scheduled to play had a last minute time conflict. We would recommend Viva La Strings to anyone looking strings for a wedding!

    Wonderful experience!

    We contracted with Viva la Strings for a guitarist for ceremony and cocktail hour. Eugene was wonderful! The planning process in advance of the wedding was very organized and easy to do. Highly recommend.

    Viva La Strings -- Wedding Ceremony

    We hired Viva la Strings to play for our wedding and they did an amazing job. Not only were they timely in their responses and extremely organized with planning out the music for the ceremony, but they did such a wonderful job. We hired a violinist and a cello, and they both played beautifully. Prices were reasonable and I would 100% consider suggesting them to any other brides in the future. Our experience with this company was wonderful and they were very kind.

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. Your music selections were a delight to play and we loved your church and the meaningful message of marriage! Thanks for having us!

    Wedding Music

    Viva La Strings was an excellent choice for our smaller wedding. We hired the string duo and it was perfect for our smaller guest count. Pendra is easy to communicate with and timely in her responses. The music was beautiful and everyone loved it. If you are thinking of having a string set, message them!

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Jasmine, thank you for the lovely review! We so enjoyed playing your wedding music selections! Thank you also for adapting to the potentially threatening weather in advance. You and yours did a great job making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Have a Blessed live together!

    Super Professional and Great Musicians

    I’ve hire a string quartet twice through VivaLaStrings and have been really impressed with their professionalism in communication, flexibility, and the overall quality of musicianship. I had a couple last minute changes and they were super accommodating.

    They’re amazing!

    WOW! Book them!

    Viva la Strings was professional and helpful during my entire wedding planning process. I had some difficulties with their website, but Renee was always so quick to help me out. They did a fabulous job at our cocktail hour. If I have another event I will 100% book them again.

    Viva la amazing

    Viva La Strings was amazing. I knew from the first time talking to Pendra, that she would be taking great care of us. She was extremely helpful in providing us with options and quotes based on the number of guests and time frame that we needed their services for. In addition to this, she provided us with different genre music lists. We didn't want our music to be traditional, so we opted for a mixture of pop songs and classic songs. We sent her a few songs that we were certain on, and she helped us to arrange them in the appropriate order for the timeline of the ceremony. Without her help, I would have had no clue on how to arrange the music! All in all, would highly recommend. Having strings at our wedding ceremony set us apart from other weddings I have attended, making it special for us!

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Brooke, thank you for the wonderful review! We love coming alongside our couples to assist in making their music an intrical part of the entire wedding ceremony vision and ambiance.

    Without a doubt, this was the best decision we made to have a duo play for our wedding. Not only did they completely customize our music, but they learned a song that was sentimental to my husband and I. It was perfect and everyone raved about them.

    Viva La Strings

    The quartet was a wonderful addition to our cocktail hour. We chose popular, contemporary songs that aren’t typically played on classic stringed instruments. Our guests loved the musical “twist”.
    Thank you Viva La Strings!

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Laura, it was a pleasure to play at your cocktail hour! You had such a fun song lineup to play! Congratulations again on a beautiful wedding!

    Beautiful music, very professional

    I absolutely loved my experience with Viva La Strings. We hired a trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Everything was perfect, they were on-time professional, and played amazing music. They also allowed us to pick one song for the trio to learn, and we chose "Thank You For Being A Friend" for our bridal party to walk down the aisle to. It was so fun to get to pick one special song, and I am grateful for them allowing us to customize our experience. Working with this team was just awesome. Highly recommend!

    Viva la Strings's reply:

    Cassandra, thank you so much! The trio so enjoyed playing your music selections too! Thanks for the great review! "Thank You For Being A Friend" is wonderful too!

    Ceremony Music

    Viva La Strings did a fantastic job at our wedding ceremony! We did a string trio (2 violins and 1 cello). It was so beautiful and really set the mood for our wedding. Their timing and fading of the music was perfect. We got so many compliments on their music! They were also very quick to respond and answer all my questions.
