Incredible performers! Would highly recommend.

Not only did Eliana strings play beautifully at our wedding, Maya was also an absolute pleasure to work with. Very responsive and friendly during the entire process. Also, completely open to playing songs that were special to my wife and I that were not in the song book.

They were a huge hit at our wedding. We got so much great feedback from our guests about how incredible they sounded. I am so happy that we booked them and would recommend to any other couple that would like live music at their wedding.

amazingly talented performers

My husband and I are so happy that we hired Eliana Strings to provide music at our wedding. They performed classical numbers during our ceremony and more modern instrumentals during our cocktail hour. All of our guests felt that the wedding was so classy. It really made for a beautiful and personal experience. I arranged for them to play my parents' wedding song during cocktail hour which was special for my parents too. We felt that the string quartet was very affordable given how talented they are and for the atmosphere that the quartet created. Highly recommend!

5-Stars for Eliana Strings

I highly recommend hiring Eliana Strings for your wedding. We went back and forth on hiring live musicians for our wedding, and I'm so glad we did. We ultimately decided to go with their quartet option because they could play both classical music and contemporary music. It was nice to start the ceremony with classical music and move into more modern music. Maya was extremely flexible with a last-minute song request, and their presence ultimately elevated our event.

beautiful music at our wedding

I was so happy that I found Eliana Strings. They played for an hour and a half at our wedding and it was one of the highlights. I got so many compliments from people on the music and I also enjoyed it myself! I would highly recommend them.

Eliana was perfect!

Eliana Strings was amazing to work with and made our wedding day so special. We had a specific song we wanted for the ceremony and they were gracious enough to learn it and play it for us. We could not have been happier with the experience! Thank you Eliana Strings!!

A beautiful addition to our special day

Having Eliana Strings at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We knew we wanted live music at our wedding - particularly a string quartet - and our experience was perfection from start to finish. The song selections were broad, pricing fair, and Maya was extremely communicative and great to work with. On the day of, the musicians were extremely professional and friendly and really heightened the overall vibe! We have no regrets having the quartet for 2 hours, covering both our ceremony and cocktail hour. Such a beautiful experience and we would absolutely recommend Eliana Strings to anyone looking for a string trio or quartet for their event.

Must have in any parties.

My husband and I had hired a String Quartet in our wedding/ vow renewal 9 years ago and we know the magic that it brings to any party settings. Having Eliana Strings on my husband's 40th bday definitely brought back that magic. Even though we only had them for an hour it was definitely worth it to have them during cocktail hour. Friends were impressed and enjoyed their music. Musicians are all very friendly and professional. I definitely recommend and I'm sure I'll have them again in future events. Special thanks to Maya for a very smooth transaction and she's very helpful and accommodating. Love them!🥰☺️

Amazing wedding music

We got Eliana Strings to perform during our wedding ceremony and part of cocktail hour, and have no regrets. It was such a classy way to have our music before and during the ceremony. They have a great mix of classic and contemporary song choices and all the music fit the vibe of our wedding perfectly. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to mix things up with ceremony music.
