A Bit of Sparkle

String trio was delightful. Arrived on time. Very professional & added that bit of sparkle to an outdoor ceremony among the trees.

Amazing musicians

Southern Strings is 10/10 talent, professionalism, fun, flexible…you name it. From the planning to the event, Southern Strings put me at ease with their flexibility and willingness to make my dream a reality. The ceremony violin was romantic and beautiful and the cocktail hour string quartet music was fun and lively. We had a blast and so did our guests. This string quartet for the cocktail hour is a choice I would make all over again.

They were very organized and present during our event planning process, which we loved! We were also happy that Kristi was able to help us choose the ceremony repertoire, and she had awesome suggestions, making our decisions easy. We are happy that we included Got strings for our special day!

Amazing and professional

We hired a string trio from Got Strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour and were so happy with the results! Kristi was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, and all of our questions and concerns were met with a quick and friendly response. The musicians played so well and fit perfectly into our wedding day - we loved getting to support college musicians with such talent. We highly recommend Got Strings and are so happy with their results!

Best experience!

Our wedding planner found Southern Strings and I'm so glad she did! Southern Strings was so communicative during the whole process whenever we had questions or wanted their suggestions. They had a HUGE list of songs to choose from. They were on-time and played beautifully. I would recommend them again and again. We were SO pleased and it made our wedding so special having them play for the ceremony.

Wonderful!

Gotstrings was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding! The music was truly beautiful, and I really enjoyed working with Kristi in the months beforehand - I had a few songs I had my heart set on but aside from that was open to anything Kristi recommended, and she did FANTASTIC! They were super easy to work with, professional, and I'd recommend them to everyone!

Super Easy to work with!

From the moment Kristi and I spoke on the phone we both knew that Got Strings was a great match for my wedding. I come from a classical-music family and I wanted a way to incorporate that into my day. Despite some odd and different music requests from me she worked to help me come up with the perfect ceremony that would please both me, my guests, and my snobby music family! The day of the wedding the musicians were kind, professional, and fantastic!

We hired Got Strings for our wedding to play throughout our ceremony. Kristi and her team were very proactive about putting together a customizable playlist for each part of the ceremony and they have a very extensive reportoire to choose from. We would definitelty choose them again since they were so easy to work with and very reliable! Thumbs up!
