Emily is amazing!!

I wanted a violinst to play at my ceremony, so I asked for recommendations from a wedding FB group that im in. Beau Strings came highly recommended. The entire process from inquiring about my date to the wedding day was smooth and seamless. Emily was so easy to work with and she had some great recommendations when I had trouble making up my mind on the song I was walking down the aisle to. Everyone loved the live music and our family even started to sing along and clap when our recessional song started playing. I would highly recommend Emily to play at any function that you have planned!

Beau Son Strings was an absolute dream!

Beau Son Strings was an absolute dream to work with and brought such elegance and emotion to our wedding day.

Their string quartet played for our prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour, and every single piece was performed beautifully. The music set the perfect tone—romantic, timeless, and so moving. They can play pretty much everything you can think of. We got so many compliments from guests who were blown away by the live music!

The team was professional, responsive, and incredibly talented. Emily was amazing! She made planning so easy and really understood the vibe we were going for and curated the selection of the music perfectly! Can't ask for a better string quartet ensemble!

We can’t thank Beau Son Strings enough for being such a special part of our day. Highly, highly recommend!

PS: I also used them for my engagement proposal so it was very sentimental for me to use them again for our wedding day and they did not disappoint!

Beautiful, Moving, Captivating!

We stumbled upon these lovely ladies during a random bridal expo and they were nice enough to play us a quick little demo. We fell in love with them instantly and the thought of having them perform for our church ceremony. No shade on any organists out there, but this is the way to go if you want to stand out, have a unique ceremony, and be straight up classy. We got tons of compliments for choosing Beau Son Strings. The variety of songs they know how to play is astonishing. Extremely professional yet personal. Not a dry eye in the church that day. We want to thank Emily and Sonja personally. Any newlyweds reading this we highly highly recommend them for your wedding service.

Made Our Interfaith Ceremony Vision Come to Life

We hired Beau Son Strings (violin, cello, mandolin) to play at our interfaith wedding ceremony, and Emily and her colleagues helped create a beautiful, meaningful, true-to-us experience for us and our many guests. We were nervous because there were a lot of moving parts in the ceremony, but working with Beau Son Strings was the easiest part--they immediately understood our vision and made it come to life, including collaborating with other musicians (our friends). They were prompt, communicative, and can-do, and it was a pleasure working with them. We even had our hearts set on a very niche, challenging piece of music for our recessional and had resigned ourselves to just playing a recording, but Emily convinced us that Beau Son Strings could learn the complicated piece--and we are so glad we trusted them, because it turned out wonderfully live, and we received many compliments from guests who noticed the care that our musicians put into arranging and playing this special piece. I myself am a violinist and have a high bar for strings but would hands-down recommend this group. Thank you, Beau Son Strings!

Book them now :)

We collaborated with Emily to curate the music selection for our ceremony, and she proved to be a fantastic partner throughout the process. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism made the experience both enjoyable and seamless.

We were absolutely thrilled to have Abbie perform at our wedding ceremony. Her exceptional talent added an unmatched elegance and charm to our special day. From the moment she began to play, the beautiful melodies she created filled the air, setting the perfect tone for the occasion. The atmosphere she created with her music made our ceremony truly unforgettable, adding an extra layer of magic and meaning to the day.

We received numerous compliments from our guests about the stunning music, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to have Beau Son Strings be a part of our special day.

Amazing music and even more wonderful people.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily and Beau Son Strings. She was very kind throughout the planning process and held two meetings with us to confirm final details. She arrived the day of on time and played our exact songs. I had used a very special song for the bridal party march and for my grand entrance. Emily was receptive with my request for a certain time in the song to be played when I entered the room. Everything was beautiful and I received so many compliments on the string music. I am so grateful to have met Emily and am beyond happy to have used them for that special moment in my day. She made my dreams of live string music on my wedding day come true!

Wonderful touch to our wedding!

We hired Beau Son Strings for our September 2023 wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music, specifically violin and piano. Emily was fantastic to work with before and day off! She was always prepared during our consultations and listened to our wants and needs! Everything went so well and we received so many compliments on how they were a lovely touch to our wedding and sounded wonderful! We are so happy with Beau Son Strings and recommend them to anyone looking to add a more personalized and elegant touch to their wedding!

One word: stunning

Beau Son Strings was so amazing to work with! They joined our wedding team after an incident left us without music shortly before our wedding. They did everything to make our day special, including finding and coordinating an arrangement for the bride’s favorite musical pieces. She took the time to learn about us as a couple and truly made our day special. Multiple guests came up during and the day after the wedding to say how beautiful the music was specifically for the prelude and ceremony!! Thank you again for making our day everything we wanted it to be.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
