Ceremonious Strings for Our Wedding

We loved working with Ceremonious Strings for our wedding! They were very attentive and responsive throughout the process. When we asked about a song that they didn't have in their list, they were able to find sheet music and learn it for our recessional song. We thought Ceremonious Strings brought an elevated aspect to our ceremony and cocktail hour. We would highly recommend for anyone looking for strings for their events!

Sarah & Ethan Wedding

We booked a Ceremonious Strings trio for our wedding in October. From our initial consultation all the way through the end of cocktail hour, they were fantastic to work with! Jaime was quick to reply, extremely courteous, and very accommodating of our requests. You could feel her enthusiasm in every email.

On the day of the wedding, the trio was very timely, and they were fully set up and ready to perform with plenty of time to spare. Their mix of our requests and their own catalogue of songs worked beautifully. Their custom arrangement of "Come What May" really stole the show during the ceremony! Our cocktail hour was really enhanced by their playing as well, and so many of our guests let us know how great they were.

We highly recommend Ceremonious Strings for your wedding, they are the best!

The perfect added touch to our day

We hired Ceremonious Strings early on in our wedding planning process because we knew we wanted elements of live music on our day. From the very beginning, Ceremonious Strings was responsive, and thoroughly answered all our questions. We were impressed with their vast repertoire of songs so we could customize the music selection so it felt authentic to us. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual, played beautifully and effortlessly, and were SO incredibly kind. I would absolutely recommend them to couples who want to add live music to their wedding day.

Amazing!!!!

We booked Ceremonious Strings for our wedding at Mallard Island Estate in August, and they truly made our day so special! From start to finish, booking and communication were completely seamless, and they had such a beautiful and extensive selection of songs to choose from.

We ultimately had them arrange our first dance song for live strings, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our entire wedding. Hearing the song performed live was so beautiful and made the moment even more meaningful.

Our wedding day also had an unexpected storm, and the team handled everything so seamlessly that you would never have known there was even an issue. They adapted and figured everything out without us having to worry or be contacted, which was such a gift on an already busy day.

We cannot recommend Ceremonious Strings enough! They were incredibly talented, professional, and easy to work with, and we are so grateful they were part of our wedding day. ❤️🎻

Such a great addition to our wedding!

Ceremonious Strings played at our wedding ceremony and they made it really special. We had debated on whether or not to add a string trio and we are so happy we did! We had a couple of unique parts our ceremony that we wanted background music for and they performed exactly to instruction. Jamie was responsive and easy to communicate with. We also go so many compliments after the ceremony about their playing. They are a great addition to your special day!

Beautiful!

We had a duo (violinist and cellist) for our ceremony, as well as a pianist for our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend Jamie and her team enough. It was absolutely beautiful. Jamie and her team worked with me to customize a One Direction song for my entrance. I cried walking down the aisle! Their talent and professionalism is top notch! 10/10 highly recommend! Everyone raved about how classy and beautiful the music was!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
