Great experience!!

Aviva Strings did a beautiful job for our wedding! We hired the string trio and Jessica was great with getting back to me with any questions that I had. Our music was perfect for our ceremony, and they also played for our cocktail hour. They are also able to do arrangements of songs as well. They played La Vie En Rose for the bridal entrance song and it was perfect. I would highly recommend them.

Absolutely Lovely Performance

I highly recommend AVIVA Strings. I had them perform at my wedding ceremony and reception, and they were absolutely lovely. The process of working with them was super smooth and easy. They were great at managing all of the details so that I could focus on enjoying my wedding. I truly appreciated beauty that they added to my special day. Many of our guests commented on how phenomenal the musicians were. If you're thinking about AVIVA for your wedding - do it!

Elevate your event with the wonderful music of AVIVA Strings

I highly recommend Jessica and the Aviva Strings team. From our first email exchange to my wedding day, working with Jessica and her team was an absolute pleasure. The booking process was seamless and convenient. Their presence and beautiful music at our wedding at Woodloch Resort truly elevated our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful music! Jessica was able to accommodate three of our most favorite songs for our ceremony that were not included in their current repertoire. The quartet played each of them perfectly, including the song that played as I walked down the aisle. I highly recommend this team of musicians!

Exceptional!

AVIVA Strings created the most amazing atmosphere for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Jess from AVIVA was so helpful in implementing the songs and style I had envisioned while using her own creative opportunities to make the music outstanding. I couldn't say enough good things about my AVIVA Strings experience, and I highly, highly recommend them for any event! Such a talented group of musicians and wonderful customer experience. 5/5

Bravo aviva strings

Bravo Aviva Strings! Our Aviva Strings trio played at our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and they were AMAZING!!!! Jessica is the consummate professional; she guided us through every detail including music selection. Everyone at our micro wedding (and even those who were watching on ZOOM) commented on wonderful the music was and how it set the "tone" for the perfect wedding celebration. I absolutely recommend Aviva Strings for your special event.

Amazing Talent

We hired Aviva Strings by searching for wedding music and chose them by the reviews. But to be honest, the reviews don't do them justice. Jessica was our violinist, and the one word everyone kept using to describe her talent was 'amazing'. She was so responsive to our many, many requests and questions, but never made us feel like we were a bother. She even went out of her way to call the venue to request permission on something extra for us. There are not enough words to express our gratitude and appreciation for her talent and kindness to us.

Incredible musicians!

I had been in contact with Jessica for months leading up to our big day. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and so easy to work with. We went with a string trio that performed our ceremony and cocktail hour. They placed the exact songs we wanted and sounded incredible. Listening to the trio beautifully play The Flower Duet as my bridesmaids walked down the aisle and the stirrings of Pachelbel’s Canon in D as I began down the aisle with my father, was the cherry on top of that specific moment in time. I heard from our guests that they thoroughly enjoyed the performance during cocktail hour as well! Thank you Aviva Strings for helping make our day magical!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

fantastic, beautiful music for your wedding ceremony, for the seating/prelude, for the cocktail hour, for memorials, I highly recommend them. Having worked with them and knowing both the quality of their music and excellent professionalism, as well as flexibility of the music itself.... playing both classical and "classical style" arrangements of modern songs.... setting up in the forest, on the patio, indoors, outdoors, they are versatile and without doubt will bring a classy, elegant note to any celebration!
