Wedding Ceremony with Fine Arts Strings

My husband and I looked into a string quartet for our wedding and came across Fine Arts Strings during our research. I am so glad we got to work with this team. John was easy to chat with when we discussed the type of music for the prelude and they played our ceremony song choices beautifully. I highly recommend Fine Arts Strings as they are extremely talented!

Highlight of the Evening

John and fellow musicians were amazing! They added such class to the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were so accommodating to accompany my sister as she sang me down the aisle. There weren't too many dry eyes. Their selection of music was perfect for the vibe of the wedding and their level of professionalism was top-tier. I highly reccomend Fine Arts Strings for your wedding.

Highly Recommend Fine Arts Strings

We hired John and his musicians to play for our son's wedding and we were impressed with their talent and professionalism. John was very responsive to all of our communications and they offer a very fair price for their services. The couple wanted a special song for the walk down the aisle and John purchased the music which was from the Cinderella Ever After movie just for us and had to spend time learning it. That song and the others on our playlist were played beautifully. Excellent performance, many guests complimented them and said it created a very romantic atmosphere. They played at the wedding and during cocktail hour. Great Job

Best Ceremony Music !!

Wow. Just wow. John is incredible. My husband and I hired him to play string music for our wedding ceremony. We chose him because 1) a musician recommended him to me, 2) his reviews are excellent, 3) his client list is extremely impressive, and 4) his prices are very reasonable. John is so kind and accommodating. We had to reschedule our wedding because of COVID, and John really worked around our second date. He was, hands down, one of our best vendors during this crazy COVID mess. When I was overwhelmed with music choices, John called me and really worked with me to find the perfect fit. And on the actual wedding ceremony day, him and his team played beautifully. The acoustics were fantastic, and the music was so crisp.

A Wonderful Choice!

Fine Arts Strings really added a special touch to my daughter's wedding. There is nothing compared to musicians playing beautiful music as the bride walks down the aisle. I felt like their fees were extremely reasonable considering what they added to the wedding. They were very easy to work with, so much so that I thought something was wrong. But, no! Choosing them is just a drama-free choice to add a lasting memory to the day. I would definitely recommend, and I will use them again if I ever host another large event.

Surpassed Expectations

My wedding coordinator recommended them. I had a special request that they were able to do. My cousin is a singer and they accompanied her. It was totally beautiful. I definitely would recommend them!

Concierge service that made my wedding wonderfully unique!

I wanted something more than your typical processional played on the organ for my wedding, so I contacted John Randolph with the Fine Arts Strings. I am so glad I did! John provided me with concierge service in crafting a totally unique musical experience for my wedding. I had so many questions, which he very patiently helped to answer for me. He led me through the entire process of choosing the size of the group, deciding how long to book them for, and selecting pieces for various parts of the ceremony. He even arranged a song that was particularly special to my fiancee, so that the string quartet could play it during the ceremony. What a wonderful, and cherished memory for us! I cannot tell you how many people commented on the beautiful music afterwards. We loved the music so much that I am secretly planning to hire John and his musicians again as a surprise anniversary gift for my husband!

Absolutely the Best!

I can't recommend John and the Fine Arts Strings highly enough. They made everything a breeze. They learned a new song for us and the music was absolutely perfect. Thanks, Fine Arts Strings!
