Bridgerton Vibes!

Nicole and the quartet were such an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony! They did a custom song for our walk down the aisle and it was perfect. It was our wedding song and we both cried when I heard how beautifully they played it. Our only regret is not booking them for cocktail hour as well. They played as guests arrived and everyone said they felt like they were on the set of Bridgerton! Such a wide range of song choices in their catalog and it was so fun picking out the songs our guest would hear. Nicole was fanatic in the communication department and we had everything squared away long before our wedding which was so nice to not scramble the last week of with emails. We requested an all female quartet and the delivered that effortlessly!
10/10! Thank you and the quartet so much!

lovely cello + piano ceremony music

We had the "contrast duo" (piano and cello) at our wedding on 9/15/19, and it was lovely! We left it as "musician's choice" for 30 minutes of pre-ceremony music, and I thought the choices were beautiful. The extensive song selection also made it easy to choose processional and recessional pieces that were special to us. Nicole was easy to work with & very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing company and set of musicians!

We hired the string trio to play at our wedding and they were outstanding. Nicole allowed me to meet with her before the wedding so that I could share my thoughts and we could figure out what songs were going to be played at what times. I gave her my timeline and she easily figured out some options that would appeal to my husband and I for when everyone walked down the aisle. Nicole is very experienced and had a ton of helpful advice on helping plan our ceremony. She is reasonably priced and did a fantastic job at our wedding. It was definitely something to remember and all our guests enjoyed it very much! Highly recommend booking her and her company!

Absolutely beautiful

My favorite part of my wedding, I cannot even begin to tell you how beautiful they sounded. As soon as I heard them playing my requested song, I was emotional. They were AMAZING.

So worth it!

They were amazing!! We were looking for someone very last minute and they were able to come play at our outdoor ceremony and it sounded so good!! Awesome communication before hand as well, very helpful in choosing songs, etc. Also, very easy to work with. I had so much going on and wasn’t replying right away to emails and they were patient and made it come together beautifully. So happy to have made the decision to hire Arcobelano Strings!

Just book them!

My wife and I were planning our wedding on a crunched timeline. A month before our big day, she mentioned needing to put together a Pandora playlist, and I suddenly had a violent and unexpected allergic reaction to the mere thought of recorded music. I found Arcobaleno Strings that evening. Nicole is super responsive and walked me through everything she needed to pull off a truly masterful performance. I was relieved not to have to worry about music on top of everything else -- clearly, they're experienced at dealing with first-timers who don't know what they're doing! The music was just breathtaking. Even though I only had a couple pieces in mind for the ceremony, Arcobaleno has a huge repertoire and can tailor their performance based on the mood and theme you're going for. I can't recommend them highly enough and kinda want to plan another event just so I can book them again (fellow introverts will understand just how strong of a statement that is). If you're reading this, do yourself a favor: book them now and stop stressing. They're a dream to work with and will add an unforgettable level of polish to your wedding.

Arcobaleno Strings

We opted for the String Quartet for the wedding prelim, processional, recessional and 90 minute cocktail reception. The group played both selected songs and genres, as well as musician selected pieces creating a perfect ambiance for a lifetime of memories.

Lovely music!

I hired a violin/cello duo to provide the music for the ceremony. I met with Nicole several weeks before the wedding to set up a guideline for the songs played before, during, and after the ceremony, and she kindly played a few examples for me. I was only able to hear a couple of songs myself, but my guests told me they really enjoyed the music. I would recommend these musicians to anyone looking for ceremony music in Tacoma!

Nicole Williams was the cellist for my daughter’s Oct. 2018 wedding. She was wonderful — music was great, and she was very responsive and accomodating. I would highly recommend her and her group.
