Music that was out of this world

While we were planning our Star Wars-themed wedding for July of 2021, we were immediately drawn to Chicago Street Strings and their roster of incredible music from our favorite film soundtracks. Hannah and her playing partner beautifully performed the Star Wars theme "Across the Stars" during the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, they treated guests to exceptional pieces of soundtrack music from Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and more. Hannah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was super reliable and responsive. We were so happy to work with Chicago Street Strings and would recommend the company and their artists to all!

HIGHLY recommend Chicago Street Strings!

Hannah and Chicago Street Strings were a dream to work with! They learned three new songs at our request to play during the ceremony. Many of our wedding guests said the songs and live music were beautiful. Hannah was our point of contact, and she was super kind, responsive, and professional! If you want a spectacular wedding, please hire them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
