Absolutely incredible
Airstrings brought such a beautiful, dynamic energy to our wedding day!
One of the standout moments was our ceremony entrance. We chose Spring Recomposed, and Airstrings executed it flawlessly. They looped the opening section to build anticipation, then hit the dramatic crescendo right as my wife walked down the aisle—it was absolutely breathtaking.
During cocktail hour, they switched things up with a fun and lively setlist that gave the evening an amazing vibe. Their versatility, talent, and attention to detail made our wedding feel so special. We couldn't have asked for a better group to provide the soundtrack to our big day!
Classy, fun and amazing!

Just Fantastic
Above and beyond service!
Artistrings is truly the best
When we learned that Artistrings existed, we were overjoyed at the idea of having classical renditions of pop music play on our big day. Having a string quartet not only made us feel as though our day was appropriately formal and sophisticated, but having that quartet play the music we chose (heavy t-swift) we knew would be fun. That moment when you're like "wait...is that... omg yes it is!" is all we wanted. And we got it via Artistrings and more.
Everyone we interacted with made us feel so special and heard. They were as passionate about our day as we were. Every interaction felt like we were talking with friends, and yet still had the professionalism and attention to detail you can only dream of./
Planning with them was so easy, but so very thoughtful. The questionnaire was very detailed, and thankfully one of the few vendor forms that successfully autosaved as we worked on it over multiple days ha. Their attention to detail in confirming where and how things would be setup, and their familiarity with our venue and where we might need extra speakers was so great.
On the big day, we didn't even have to think about anything and it all went so perfectly. We couldn't have dreamed for a better experience for us, nor our guests. We got so many compliments! Overall definitely can't recommend them enough!

Carol is the consummate professional. She will work with you to create the wedding music you have always dreamed of: from the standard rep to more avant-garde selections. I enjoy working with her and have complete trust in her abilities.
Whether you are looking for traditional classical music or the hippest contemporary string quartet in Chicagoland, THIS IS IT. Artistrings always blows everyone away with their sound, ceremony music is always perfectly timed, and their professionalism is second to none. They also have the largest repertoire of contemporary pop music of any other string quartet. These guys ROCK.
Having worked with Atristrings and especially Carol on various weddings, I have found them to one of the best groups to work with. They are most accomodating from my point as an officiant. They are excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any of my clients.
