Just perfect!

I have always dreamed of having a cello duo at my wedding and when I got engaged I started working right away to find a group to make my dream come true, and Elite Strings did just that! They had extensive selections of songs available online to choose from and they also worked to do a custom arrangement of a song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. They sent me a recording of the song the week of the wedding and I cried! I could not believe how beautiful it sounded and that my dream was coming to life! To say they sounded magical would be an understatement. There are no words to express just how beautiful they sounded and it really made everything come together. It was such a wonderful experience working with them and I could not recommend them enough!

Took so much stress off my shoulders.

I did not have a wedding coordinator, so most of the planning was on me. After we found Erica and Elite Strings, I could leave the musician coordination with her and focus on the other details.
Such a relief

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!
