Grace Notes String Ensemble is amazing!

Dori and all members of Grace Notes Strings were amazing! We had Grace Notes Strings play music at our wedding and reception; they couldn't have helped more to make it a better day! Before the wedding day we put together a plan for both specific songs to play at specific moments throughout the day, and a general feel for types of songs to play for the rest of the day. They were very accommodating to make sure they were able to play specific song requests we really wanted. Everything they played throughout the wedding day was spectacular and made the day exactly what we were hoping for! We are so happy we had Grace Notes Strings at our wedding and reception and and would very highly recommend them for others!

Highly recommend!!

We decided to have live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour for our beachy wedding and Dori and George were absolutely wonderful! The violin and acoustic guitar combination was so beautiful! They were so easy to work with and played all our requests! We even had a chance to talk with Dori after the wedding and she was so nice! Book them!

Great musicians

We had Dori and her team (mix of string trio and piano) for 4 hours during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We gave them a long list of songs we love and they were able to accommodate all requests. We are so glad we hired them for our music and would recommend them to anyone! They did a wonderful job.

Violin & Guitar = Beautiful Beach Wedding Music!

My husband and I made the last minute decision, while planning our Plan B Covid Wedding, to include a Violinist. I contacted Grace Note & Dori got in touch with me quickly. We connected on the very first phone call & started planning. She was incredibly accommodating considering the short notice. We decided on a duet of violin & guitar - incredible! Prices are very fair, song list is huge & will suit any style, and they coordinated so many other details to make our wedding day seamless! Everyone raved about the atmosphere the music brought to our ceremony & cocktail hour. Thank you for making our day feel (and sound) like a dream!!

Great group - extremely talented (and fun)!

My husband and I are blessed to have had Grace Notes play at our wedding! Dori was a pleasure to work with the whole way through, and everything was perfect! The song choice list that they already come knowing is unbelievable, and the fact that they ask you to choose some songs of your own to personalize your ceremony / cocktail hour adds the best touch! Our ceremony music was played beautifully (on a VERY windy and chilly day, outside) - and the cocktail hour music was PERFECT! They took what we had asked for, and totally nailed the style we were looking for. I would hire Dori and her group again, any day. They were so friendly, and our guests raved about them! If you want a dedicated, talented, and fun group to add an amazing touch to your special day - this is definitely the group to hire!

Absolutely wonderful to deal with!

I am a musically inept person so I was not at all sure how my vision of a light hearted beach wedding would work out in the musical sense. I never had to worry! Dori walked me through the process step by step and made sure I understood and was completely comfortable with the musical plan. Lyn, our harpist the day of, was amazing! The music was beautiful and she went above and beyond by helping with some sound issues we were having that were completely unrelated to the harp. I would absolutely recommend Grace Note 100 times over!
