Amazing violinist!

We are so glad we went with Marylee at Bonita Strings! From the first communication she was so professional, friendly, and easy to work with.
She was open to learning and finding new music based on our requests and was able to help with suggestions based on our musical taste.
The music and timing was flawless. There was never any worry about the ceremony music not being perfect. Our guests all commented on how lovely the music was.
Thank you Marylee. We are so grateful for your part in our special day.

Our daughter's wedding was perfect with this music!

Marylee played so beautifully for our daughter's wedding. From picking out the music with our daughter and son in law, to suggesting what to play when, to helping them make the best choices for their day...she was wonderful to work with.

Not only did Marylee play during the ceremony but at our afternoon reception and again did not disappoint us. She provided music for the first dance as well as the father/daughter and son/mother dance. Just all around the perfect music for our beautiful day.

Thanks to Bonita Springs, this memory will live on in our minds as we reflect each year on this special day. Marylee, your professionalism and music skills shine and we are grateful for you.

Amazing addition to our ceremony!

We had Marylee play at our pre ceremony / ceremony and it was an amazing addition. She did a great job and was flexible with coming up with a song list. Would definitely recommend ! Thank you so much!

Made our wedding extra special

Martha was a pleasure to work with! I liked that she zooms with you a few times instead of just emailing, it makes it seem much more personal.
She was able to play every song we asked for and they were all perfect. 10/10 highly recommend!!

Marylee was incredible!

From the moment I reached out to Marylee, she was responsive, professional, flexible and more than willing to work with us! We requested she pair with our family pianist, and without hesitation she was in! She worked very closely with my mother in law on the music arrangements and was so communicative along the way. She came to the wedding day well prepared and ready to put on a show! I would recommend Marylee to any bride looking for a skilled violinist on her special day. What a pleasure it was to work with her! 10/10 recommendation.

willing and more than able!

As a family of serious amateur musicians, we were worried about finding someone to play for our destination wedding in Naples. Marylee of Bonita Springs was flexible, responsive, accommodating and professional in all her correspondence and on the day of the wedding. I cannot imagine another musician that would have been more willing to work with us.
I highly recommend her and her beautiful talent.

Excellent musicians

The girls came out to a beach wedding. I originally wanted a quartet, but unfortunately the hotel I was having my wedding at said we were not allowed to have more than a trio.. They were able to accommodate me even with one less musician. That music sounded brilliant, and they play a at ray of Different genres. You would not be disappointed if you hired Bonita strings.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
