Fantastic!

We had an amazing experience with our string trio. From the planning process through the wedding day, Kevin was incredibly responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. He answered our questions quickly, coordinated everything seamlessly, and made the entire process stress-free.

For the music itself, we gave the trio a lot of creative freedom and simply asked them to play music that fit the overall vibe of the day, along with learning two special songs for us. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. The transitions during the ceremony were seamless, everything flowed naturally, and they played beautifully throughout both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented musicians who are both professional and a joy to work with.

High Recommend!

We hired Golden Scroll Soloists for our wedding and they were one of the easiest decisions we made. They are true professionals. From the first email they were responsive and genuinely kind, and nothing we asked for was ever a problem or too much of an ask.

Their repertoire is remarkable and their sound is truly beautiful. If you’re looking for musicians who are as lovely to deal with as they are talented, book Golden Scroll Soloists. We recommend them wholeheartedly.

A dream to work with!

Hiring Golden Scrolls for our wedding day was one of the best decisions me and my husband made in the planning process. They are phenomenal, in every regard. Kevin was professional, detail oriented and responsive. We had the quartet play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it truly felt like a fairy tale. Their catalog of songs is huge and they are happy to learn a new song if what you are looking for isn’t already in their repertoire. I wish I had more reasons to hire a string quartet in the future, they were amazing and helped make the day so special!

Best Sting Ensemble Ever!

Kevin and the Golden Scrolls Soloists were amazing! From the very beginning, Kevin was very responsive and easy to work with. He helped us create the perfect soundtrack for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Not only did they play spectacularly, they also let us make requests that weren't in their repertoire and learned how to play them! The list of songs they play is very extensive with songs from every genre. Everyone has told us how impressed they were by them. They truly made our wedding day so beautiful.

5 Stars, Nothing Less

We hired Golden Scroll Soloists for our wedding cocktail hour and reception in Connecticut on June 6. Coordinating with Kevin was seamless, efficient and professional. They accommodated our highly specific setlist, executing accurate string arrangements across multiple classic and contemporary genres. They also were flexible with timing adjustments. Their pricing was fair and delivered great value for a live ensemble. They also operated autonomously with strict professionalism on the day of the event. Their execution of our custom requests was exceptional (we wanted certain songs played at specific times during the wedding day). Highly recommended for couples seeking reliable, precise musical accompaniment! Our guests actually thought they were listening to a DJ/playlist, that's how good Golden Scroll was!

Golden Scroll Soloists are incredible!

We had the pleasure of having the Golden Scroll Soloists perform as a violin and cello duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were absolutely incredible. From the very beginning, Kevin was so responsive, organized, and easy to work with. His timeline guide made the entire planning process seamless and took so much stress off our shoulders.

On our wedding day, the music was simply beautiful. The violin and cello created such an elegant, romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented every moment of our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their talent was truly remarkable, and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful the live music was.

I genuinely have zero complaints. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to choose Golden Scroll Soloists. If you're looking for musicians who are not only incredibly talented but also professional, organized, and wonderful to work with, I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Kevin, for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

Absolutely Wonderful

Golden Scroll Soloists did a fantastic job at our Newport wedding. They were professional and easy to work with throughout the planning process and accommodated our requests for the ceremony music. On the big day, the music was beautiful, with numerous guests complimenting what a nice touch having the string music was. They have our highest recommendation.

Extremely talented, friendly, and flexible!

Apparently, my now-husband is extremely picky when it comes to string quartets. When looking for a string quartet for our wedding in June 2026, we listened to recordings from every available vendor in the Rockland County/Westchester area. Golden Scroll were not only the best sounding, but also were incredibly friendly, organized, and accommodating to our requests. Their song list is MASSIVE and yet they included learning two new songs at no extra charge to allow our playlist to be even more meaningful to us. Kevin was extremely responsive, and was less worried than we were about the 15% chance of rain on the day of the wedding. The performance itself was amazing and our guests raved about it all evening. They didn’t flinch when our robot flower girl drove right towards them! Couldn’t recommend hiring Golden Scroll more for your special event!

An enchanting evening, thanks to Golden Scrolls!

Golden Scrolls is absolutely incredible. We had a micro wedding at a castle and our wonderful violinist and cellist duo made the whole evening (music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) feel elegant and enchanted.

In addition to their broad song selection (and willingness to learn two additional songs special to us), they arrived perfectly on time, were wonderfully professional, and played beautifully. We especially enjoyed working with Kevin from start to finish because of his attention to detail and terrific service.

Golden Scrolls was truly *instrumental* in making our big day as special and memorable as it was. We’d highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

If you are looking for the total professional sound for your event the Golden Scroll Soloists are worth your effort to hear, see and book them. They have a wide variety of songs available and are continuously receiving awards for their sound. As a vendor that must interact with others at Ceremonies, it is a pleasure to work alongside of these fine musicians.

Having seen them perform as a quartet, as a trio and as a duo, time and again I am amazed at the talent and versatility of the Golden Scroll Soloists. Their music is a beautiful accompaniment to a wedding ceremony.

In the ancient world, the word "dreamon" meant "to dream" as we think of the word now. It also meant "to make music." I had the pleasure of working with the Golden Scroll Soloists this past weekend for a wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Estates in Middletown, CT. No surprise--their music was heavenly! What did surprise us all was the sudden downpour, complete with thunder and lightning. The musicians, the DJ, had gone out to the meadow early to set up. We all huddled in a beautiful little storage shed to wait out the storm. To pass the time, we told stories. Kevin is a fountain of information about wedding music--what works, what doesn't, and why. He is keenly aware that couples can't always articulate what they want the music to accomplish. Fortunately for anyone who deals with him, Kevin is also compassionate and creative. When the ceremony was moved inside the Mansion, the Golden Scroll Soloists set up quickly, filled the room with music, and made a dream come true.
