Hi there! c'mon into the world of live strings... follow me!

Thank you, thank you so much for checking us out! Shall we start from the very beginning?

What is a string quartet?

I'm glad you asked, A string quartet is an ensemble of four musicians; 2 violins, viola and cello. The first string quartet music written and performed is traced back to Austria in the 1700s. Here we are 300 years later with music being written and arranged for the SAME group of instuments.

Interesting. So what is Buffalo Heartstrings all about?

Well, Buffalo Heartstrings is unique in that it brings musical tradition to your live event today. We play so many genres of music including classical, motown, pop, movie scores.... Netflix Bridgerton series threw string quartet music back onto the map in 2020. This ensemble type works and has endured hundreds of years.

That's pretty cool. What parts of the event do you play?

Wedding Ceremony,Cocktail Hour,Dinner Hour

I'm looking at a DJ package right now. Why should I go with a string quartet?

Pick live music. People can listen to music through speakers any day of the week, but when live musicians are on-site the vibe is totally elevated. Plus, we look professional in all of your photos. The musicians wear formal black and have gorgeous heritage instuments at their side.

Thanks for the info. I'll get back to you

We already have black out dates for 2026 (namely September) so inquire and book soon!

Absolutely Beautiful!

Karlee was so sweet and easy to work with. She gave us suggestions of what songs worked best together for our ceremony and even offered to add an additional song as guests were leaving the church. The Buffalo String Quartet made our wedding ceremony extra special and truly beautiful. There wasn’t a dry eye in the church. I am so pleased by their performance and am so glad we had the honor of having them play at our wedding. 100% recommend!

A must book vendor!

My husband and I hired Buffalo Heartstrings for our wedding. We would hire them over and over again. From the moment I spoke with Karlee on the phone, I was so impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. I had a vision for our music and Karlee along with her team exceeded any expectations I had. The string quartet was such a beautiful addition to our wedding. Karlee and her team played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I was able to choose songs from their very impressive list, but they also played a few hymns that are special to me. Our guests are still complimenting the music from our big day. I cannot thank Buffalo Heartstrings enough for being such a special part of our wedding day.

Highly recommend! Such a special addition to our day!

My husband and I contacted Buffalo Heart Strings only a few months before our wedding, and we feel so lucky that they were still available to play on our wedding date! They were extremely professional, flexible in their song choices (they even played two hand-selected pieces for us!), and made our small outdoor ceremony feel especially grand. Everyone commented on how great they sounded, and when we reflect on our wedding, we’re so glad that they were a “special touch” we included in our budget. Walking down the aisle to strings was magical, and we’d recommend Buffalo Heart Strings to anyone!

Beautiful music!

We booked Buffalo Heartstrings for our wedding ceremony and couldn’t be more pleased! They have a great selection of contemporary and classical pieces; we even wanted to included a couple specific pieces that were not in their music library, and they were able to make it happen. Karlee was fantastic to work with, and the music just made our ceremony so special. Highly recommended.

Excellent! Highly Recomend!

We had to make a lot of last minute changes due to covid and everyone at BH was fantastic in helping to make our day special. My wife wanted to walk the aisle to her favorite song and they were able to accommodate on short notice even though it was not in their list. I would highly recommend them for your wedding or event.

Extraordinary Ceremony Music

Karlee & her team are absolute perfection! Our ceremony had that extra special touch of a string quartet. They even worked with a friend of mine who wanted to perform a song for us during the ceremony. Breathtaking & made the ceremony even more special. Our guests are still talking about Buffalo Heartstrings, I can’t recommend them enough!
