HIRE THEM! They were amazing!

We hired Elite Strings for our wedding and had an absolutely perfect experience! Erica was professional, communicative, kind, patient with my song list (which was late!) and set the tone for the most beautiful atmosphere at our wedding. We hired the violin & cello duo, which was just right for our location and wedding size. They performed for the prelude, wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour and I truly could not imagine our day without them. We received so many compliments on their skill as well as music selection. They have a huge range of music in their library and offered to learn other songs if requested in advance - which was not necessary because they had so many options. They worked wonderfully with our DJ and the venue staff and truly could not have made our day any more perfect. I can't say enough nice things about them and would absolutely recommend and hire again for another event. Truly a 10/10 experience for us!

violinist recommended

As a musician in a past life, I'm so glad I found Elite Strings to perform as a trio for our outdoor wedding ceremony. I appreciated their detailed, organized website which helped me make my music selections from their diverse repertoire. I was pleased with how seamlessly they blended my unusual choice of both classical and popular music. I requested a song that wasn't in their repertoire and they played it so beautifully, and the upcharge for new music was extremely reasonable. Erica was very responsive and easy to work with every step of the way. Thank y'all for providing your talents to make our special day even more memorable!

Violin & Cello Duo

We hired the violin and cello duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding. Erica was so responsive in listening to our wants and needs. They provided a timeline and form to fill out and even made suggestions if needed. I would definitely recommend using them to add something different to your ceremony!
