Chicago Street Strings really added to our perfect day. Leading up to the big day, Hannah was super communicative and helpful throughout the process. On the day of, the musicians were professional and of course the music they played was beautiful!! They have a long list of songs to choose from. It really made our ceremony and cocktail hour so memorable. Thank you thank you thank you!

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!

Wonderful Talent for a Great Value

We hired Chicago Street Strings to play during the pre-ceremony and ceremony for our October wedding and absolutely loved working with them. Hannah is super professional and a sweetheart, our communication was great. I so appreciate how willing they were to accommodate our song requests — a few of them were tricky to find! I vetted many local strings groups and in my opinion, they offer the best talent and song options for the best value. As the bride, I wasn’t able to hear the entire ceremony so I’m super excited to hear the full performance once we receive our videos. So grateful they were there — thanks again, Hannah and company!
