About

We simply love working with bridal couples and wedding planners to find your perfect wedding music. And, we love hearing all the compliments after the fact - things like "your live music really made our event!" and "the sound of strings is something eveyone was talking about for weeks after!" In today's ever more "virtual" world, the sound of live strings from a professional ensemble can really set your event apart.

Serving central & nortern New Mexico including Albuquerque, Algodones, Santa Fe, Belen, Espanola, Taos, Los Alamos, and Rio Rancho and surrounding areas since 2005, the musicians of the Giovanni Strings bring elegance and sophistication to your wedding or any special event such as a holiday party or corporate reception. We are professional musicians based in the Albuquerque area and play with the New Mexico Philharmonic, Santa Fe Symphony, San Juan Symphony, Roswell Symphony, and Chatter, to name a few.

Let us help you find the perfect music for your event - we have a wide variety of selections - everything from Bach to the Beatles and Tchaikovsky to Tangos. Rock classics from Queen, Led Zepplin, Metallica and David Bowie are in our collection, too. We even have musical selections from Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Christina Perri, and John Legend! There are several movie & TV scores in our collection as well. If you are looking for a particular song, let us help. If needed, we can even make a custom arrangement for you at a moderate cost.

We work hard to make your job easy by arriving early, dressing professionally, working with your officiant and your wedding planner (or you, personally, if you are planning your own wedding!) and sounding beautiful. We make sure that each event - YOUR event - is special and unique with unforgettable music.

Please get in touch today for a rate quote for String Quartet, String Trio, String Duo, solo Cello or solo Harp. We look forward to hearing from you!

Stunning Performance That Elevated Our Ceremony

We had The Giovanni String Trio perform at our wedding, and they were absolutely superb. They played beautiful classical pieces before the ceremony, Hallelujah and Ave Maria during the ceremony, and contemporary arrangements afterward. The music truly made the event and added so much emotion and elegance to the day.

Beyond the performance, they were incredibly easy to work with—professional, prompt, friendly, and clearly outstanding musicians. Everything was seamless from start to finish.

Highly recommend The Giovanni String Quartet for any special occasion.

Wedding Quartet

Every wedding needs Giovanni String Quartet! They added so much to our daughter's wedding, setting the mood with their beautiful music. Prior to wedding, the weather was being persnickety, and the musicians graciously said they could amend their schedule to fit in with the weather. Thank you Giovanni Quartet for making the wedding ceremony such a memorable occasion. Our daughter was thrilled with the music and was so glad they were part of her wedding day!!

Music for Mother’s Memorial Service

My mother loved classical music. Having the Giovanni musicians play for her memorial service honored her. It was very easy to work with them to develop the program. I asked that they do Pie Jesu by Andrew Lloyd Weber and they were the consummate professionals being performance ready in a short period of time. I would highly recommend them for any event one desires to have string music.

Amazing! Hire them!

They were absolutely amazing! I hired a string duet for our ceremony and they were perfection. Anastasia who was my contact for the booking was friendly and professional. When I struggling with the music selection, she walked me through the set list and offered suggestions/ solutions. I highly recommend hiring Giovanni Quartet if you're looking to make your wedding memorable and special.

Awesome String Quartet

We hired the Giovanni Quartet to play our wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour. They provided great communication and their music was beautiful. Their repertoire is pretty extensive, but they were able to learn additional songs for us. Overall they were fantastic and received many compliments from our guests.
