The Perfect Touch

We got married in June and had the cello and violin duet at our church ceremony. It was such a beautiful touch to our ceremony. Rebecca was so great to work with and was very understanding about the logistics for a church ceremony. They played such a beautiful variety of music for our guests to enjoy. We loved the range of songs that they offer to play. What a magical moment to have the strings as I walked down the aisle.

Amazing Musicians!

Rebecca was amazing to work with and played beautifully at our wedding! She was a great communicator and made sure that the songs we wanted fit in perfectly to our ceremony and cocktail hour. I'd recommend Arreaux Strings for anyone looking for live musicians for their wedding!

Talented Musicians!

Rebecca was so easy and professional to work with and her fellow musicians from Arreaux Strings were absolutely incredible during our wedding. They really added something special to my ceremony and cocktail hour by taking us back in time performing some incredible Baroque pieces. I even added a special request to play Vivaldi's Winter and she made it happen. I'll forever be grateful for the whole experience. Thank you Arreaux Strings!

Arreaux Strings is Phenomenal!

Arreaux Strings is Phenomenal! Working with Rebecca Shaw was probably the easiest part about wedding planning. She was so helpful and gracious leading up to our big day. We hired the string quartet for our wedding and they were phenomenal. They played at our ceremony and our cocktail hour and were a huge hit. We can't thank you all enough!

Perfect Musicians for our Wedding

We hired Arreaux Strings for our outdoor wedding at Plimoth-Patuxet this past August. They were a pleasure to work with. They responded to our inquiry and later correspondence quickly and their fee was very reasonable. We chose to have a cellist and violinist for our ceremony. They have a substantial and diverse song list and are also willing to learn new songs for a minimal fee. They let us know in advance if there was anything they needed for their set up (they just needed two chairs in our case). Payment was also easy because they accept online payment. Overall, I would recommend Arreaux to anyone looking for ceremony musicians for their wedding.

Professional and Talented Team!

I always love working with Rebecca and her team! They are extremely talented and punctual. As a wedding pro, this is always something that I'm looking for.

I have used them for both the ceremony and cocktail hour and every time they exceed my expectations! They are very skilled and play a wide range of ensembles, which is a huge plus when searching for a celloist/other string musicians!

Amazing music for a sit down dinner reception

My husband and I were married about a month ago in the midst of COVID. We decided to have a micro wedding at the Museum of Science and used Arreaux Strings to provide the music for our reception dinner. They were amazing! We absolutely loved working with them, it was so easy! We communicated with Rebecca Shaw and she was incredibly professional and prompt for every email and phone call/zoom! We wanted to have a string duo playing current music all throughout our dinner to provide a nice background ambiance and fun atmosphere for our guests. Especially since we weren’t allowed to dance and there were only about 20 people. Arreaux were perfect and exactly what we wanted, our guests loved guessing the songs and it was a fun surprise since they were expecting classical music! They have a huge catalog of current music available to play and learned 2 new songs just for us that they didn’t have in the catalog. I can’t say enough how happy we were to work with them! They even replayed a song so my dad and I could have a little unplanned father daughter dance, which was really special. I highly recommend using Arreaux Strings for your event! It couldn’t have gone better!
