About this vendor

Honey Strings is a musician service in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that provides an unforgettable soundtrack for your special day. Violinist Joshua Holcomb is the artist behind Honey Strings, and he'll help you elevate your ceremony with perfect, sweet-sounding melodies.

Services Offered

Josh will start off the day with some prelude music, beginning 30 minutes before the ceremony while guests arrive and start to settle in. As you walk down the aisle, he'll start to play your music of choice for the processional, with specific excerpts of songs depending on your tastes and preferences. If your venue has any audio requirements, Honey Strings delivers a full PA system, with a wireless mic if needed. If you'd like, Josh will stay for cocktail hour, playing covers of popular songs from different genres. Think 'Bridgerton', with string editions of modern hits. Guests can have fun playing 'guess the song' or just simply sit back and enjoy. Honey Strings has performed at hundreds of weddings, and Josh looks forward to collaborating with you to make yours extra special.

Exactly what we hoped for

Josh played viola at our wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. I had serious decision fatigue and asked him to choose all of the ceremony music - every piece fit the moment perfectly. The viola has such a rich, emotional sound, and having it played live added so much depth and warmth (and tears!) to the day. Highly recommend Josh!

Beautiful Strings!

Having strings for that moment when my wife first walked down the aisle was the most memorable moment of the day. I am so very happy that this moment exists.
We also had the String Quartet for our cocktail hour. Everyone loved the vibe and we felt so classy having them there. Working with them was very easy, they were responsive and helped ease the stress around communicating with vendors.

Wonderful Musician with amazing communication

We had an incredible wedding and it was made extra special by Josh at Honey Strings. His talent and expertise really showed when our time for the ceremony began. Working with Josh was a pleasure as his communication about the ceremony was very clear and easy. He is genuinely a very talented performer/musician and very easy to work with.

Set the perfect atmosphere ✨

Josh provided the perfect music for our ceremony! My husband and I didnt know what songs we wanted to include in our ceremony, but we did know the kind of atmosphere we hoped to create — something fun, joyful, and not overly serious. We shared this vision with Josh, and he thoughtfully proposed a list of songs for us to consider.

He took the time to talk through each option with us until we landed on the perfect choices. Josh then beautifully arranged versions of the songs that worked with his viola setup.

Our ceremony was truly the highlight of the entire wedding, in large part because of the warm, joyful atmosphere Josh created. Not only was the music great, but he was so kind and a joy to work with, I can’t recommend him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
