Arioso did a great job to help make our wedding extra special and really helped us out when we didn't even know what we wanted.

A Delightful Experience!

We can definitely endorse, without reservation, Arioso Strings as a premier provider of elegant string music for a wedding or other social function. Professionalism, attention to detail, and dignified elegance are their calling card. Lucy was easy to work with and helped us coordinate our selections for the event. We live out of town and Lucy put our mind at ease and was easy to communicate with. Their performance made our daughter's wedding special and were the talk of the ceremony among our guests.

Arioso Strings is incredible!

Arioso Strings is incredible! From the minute we reached out for information to the days leading up to our wedding, they were prompt and helpful in all their communications. We also received SO many compliments from our guests on the fun selection of music that was played during the ceremony. Lucy helped work with us and guide us to ensure our list of songs would flow well together and they were perfect. Arioso Strings is incredible, professional and talented and we would highly recommend them!!
