Wonderful music, expertly performed

Beautifulstrings performed for our small house party and exceeded our expectations in terms of the quality of the performance and the experience in making the arrangements. The music was played beautifully, the selection of music was fantastic and the performers had a great give-and-take with the party guests.
Excellent group for providing the featured soundtrack for the event or for background music.

Absolutely Amazing!

Patrick and his team were, by far, the most professional vendors that I hired for my wedding. They’re performance was spectacular, and they’re price was absolutely affordable. I still get compliments about how beautiful our ceremony music was.

WONDERFUL musicians that will bring beautiful music to your big day!

I cannot recommend BeautifulStrings highly enough; they truly made my wedding dreams and wedding vision come to life.

Their musicians are incredibly skilled, poised, and competent. They will show up on time or early and impress all of your guests! Their pricing is truly affordable and their music will bring joy to your event.

I worked directly with Patrick setting up everything for my wedding; he was so easy to work with and a true professional. He called ahead to my coordinator at my wedding venue to make sure he had cues so that everything went off without a hitch the day of the event.

Big thanks to BeautifulStrings for bringing my guests the gift of music! Special thanks also for playing the two custom pieces; it was an absolute dream to walk down the aisle to the sounds of your music. THANK YOU!

Brides -if you have a song you’d like them to play, just coordinate with them! They truly can play whatever song you envision for your day – even fun ones! We had them play the Harry Potter theme song as our officiant entered the ceremony, for example, and it was a hit!

What a wonderful job, such beautiful music!

Beautiful Strings was simply wonderful. Erica on the cello and Patrick on the violin were perfect. They were perfectly on time, extremely friendly and extraordinarily talented. They sounded even better than I had imagined. I wish we could do it all over again! I would recommend this group to anyone looking to make their occasion beyond special!

Patrick and Erica played for our wedding in June, and it was beautiful! They were professional and powered through the day even though it was really hot outside (we truly appreciated that)! Patrick was extremely responsive to emails as well, and if I ever had questions he was able to reply right away. I cannot wait to see our wedding video to hear them play again, we had a lot of compliments from our guests on their music! Thank you both for making our ceremony more than we could have imagined!

Patrick and his team performed my wedding ceremony on 6/22/18 at Salvatore Lincoln Park. Throughout the planning process, Patrick was very professional, reliable, accommodating, respond very fast via email, and provide good guidance on how to start selecting the ceremony songs. On the wedding day, they came early and on time, the music were beautiful. At the end of the ceremony, he came and congratulate me and also signed my guest book with well wishes. This really gave me a personal touch that this is not just business but he also sincerely was happy for us. That little touch for me goes a long way. I would 110% recommend anyone who wants to have a capable reliable team to perform their ceremony/cocktail songs. Thank you again Patrick and team!!!

Beautifulstrings played for my wedding ceremony on 5/27/18, and I could not be happier or more satisfied with their service. Patrick from Beautifulstrings was timely and responsive. If you need song recommendations, Patrick will provide suggestions, and their website has lots of music samples that was extremely helpful for me to choose our ceremony music selection. I would highly recommend hiring Beautifulstrings for your wedding or any classy event!
