Beautifully Curated Ceremony & Incredibly Talented Musicians

I've always wanted strings at my wedding, and Golden Scroll Soloists was very responsive and flexible. They are truly an end-to-end service, where Kevin helped us with the pre-event coordination to producing breathtaking ceremony and cocktail hour music. They were able to perfectly execute and deliver my dream. I highly recommend Kevin and team at GSS!

Also, the forecast showed rain on my wedding day a few days leading up to the big day, but Kevin assured me that it had never rained while he played at the Glen Manor before. Lo and behold, we had a sunny day with clear, blue skies on the actual day. I attribute this beautiful day to you, Kevin/GSS!

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!

Book GSS - you won't be disappointed!

We could not have been happier with our decision to have the Golden Scroll Soloists perform at our wedding. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, their music was simply outstanding and added an elegant, memorable touch to our special day.

Our guests raved about the performance and many commented on how the music set a beautiful tone throughout the event.

Working with Kevin was an absolute pleasure—he was incredibly easy to communicate with, always prompt in his responses, and made the entire planning process seamless.

We highly recommend booking the Golden Scroll Soloists for your wedding or special event. Their professionalism, talent, and top-notch service truly set them apart!

Seriously the Best!

We absolutely loved working with Golden Scrolls Soloists for our wedding. They were incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, which made everything so easy and stress-free. Any questions I had, they answered right away, and they were just overall wonderful to work with.

On the wedding day, they arrived right on time and played absolutely beautifully. Their music made our ceremony feel so magical and special, exactly the vibe we were hoping for. I’m so, so happy we chose them for our wedding! If you’re considering live strings, I truly can’t recommend Golden Scrolls enough.

Music Ensemble of Our Dreams

Golden Scroll Soloists was fantastic to work with, from start to finish. Kevin was extremely responsive and easy to contact, and he understood our vision and met all of our specific requests brilliantly. Their pricing is very straightforward and fair, and we appreciated the ability to add on a microphone setup for our officiant.

When we initially started our search for ceremony music, we only had a rough idea of what we wanted, but that all changed once we found GSS. From the moment we saw their extensive song list, we knew they were THE vendor we were looking for - I even joked to my partner that we would have to change our wedding date if they weren't available. My partner and I loved all the contemporary songs (especially some of the "nerdier" selections) in their song list, and we really appreciated the ability to request new songs that made our day even more special. Although we weren't able to listen to all of the music day-of, the bits we did hear and feedback from guests has all been wonderful. Thank you, GSS, for making our wedding so special and perform music that is very meaningful to us!

A touch of elegance

We originally weren’t going to have live music for our ceremony but I am glad I was convinced otherwise. Kevin and the Golden Scroll Soloists brought our ceremony to another level of elegance. We had a string trio perform prior to our ceremony and during our ceremony. The musicians are excellent and did a wonderful job. Kevin is so great to work with, very accommodating and easy to get in touch with.

Beautiful Ceremony Music

We had the Golden Scroll Soloists (two violinists) play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they did a wonderful job! All our videos have such nice background music and it really elevated our wedding. They were super communicative throughout and very prepared for the day. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend!

We had the Golden Scroll Soloists perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at OceanCliff this past April, and they were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, Kevin was so responsive and made the entire process seamless. He provided curated playlists to make things easy, but also gave us the option to customize by selecting individual songs and listening to clips right on their website—which we really appreciated.

We chose the trio, and it was the perfect fit. We mixed modern songs with some timeless classics, and they brought it all to life beautifully. Our guests kept commenting on how unique and elegant the music was. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Golden Scroll Soloists to anyone looking for live music for a wedding or special event. Truly a highlight of our day!

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.
