Highly recommend!

I found Charleston Elite Musicians after doing an extensive online search. I reached out to many different groups, and found CEM to be the most professional, best priced, and great at following through. Dealing with Sadie was a delight! She understood exactly what I wanted and had great suggestions. I would hire them again without hesitation.

An Exceptional Wedding String Trio

We had the pleasure of Charleston Elite Musicians string trio performing at our wedding, and Sadie and her team exceeded all expectations. From the very start, Sadie was so kind, accommodating and easy to work with. She was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. Her communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. She made the planning process a breeze, listening attentively to our song preferences and offering valuable suggestions to tailor the music to our vision. She was able to work with any requests we had and was incredibly helpful taking initiative with music suggestions.

Their performance during the ceremony was nothing short of spectacular. The music was beautifully played, and they even personalized a version of "Can't Help Falling" for us, which added a special touch. Their talent and attention to detail truly made our day unforgettable. The trio was able to play through unanticipated distractions, such as planes flying loudly overhead, and handled it with the utmost professionalism. Not only were they musically exceptional, but Sadie and her team were punctual and set up in plenty of time before guests started to arrive.

Charleston Elite Musicians added a modern elegance to our wedding that we had hoped for, and we couldn't be happier with their service. They are without a doubt deserving of 5+ stars. Thank you, Sadie and the team, for making our day truly magical!
