Amazing violinist

We used Inspire with Strings for our Wedding Ceremony at the Vanderbilt Museum! AnnMarie was our violinist and she was nothing short of amazing. She was incredibly talented and made our ceremony so special. AnnMarie was also super helpful, kind, and generous. She was helpful with planning before hand and assisted us SO much day of with setting up a microphone we brought and playing music for our first dance (which we did during our ceremony) on her speakers. She is the exact type of person you would want to be there as a vendor for your wedding day and helped make our day a dream come true!

Must Book Wedding Vendor!

AnnMarie was an amazing addition to our wedding and I am SO happy we booked Inspire With Strings for our ceremony music at The Piermont. We didn’t get to hear the hospitality music for guests on arrival because we were getting ready for the ceremony, but we had so many compliments that the music was beautiful. Guests were coming up to us at cocktail hour to say how amazing it sounded. I was able to hear the processional song and my song going down the aisle, and it was perfection. I definitely recommend using Annmarie for your ceremony!! She also learned specific songs for us and we specified more modern songs (our recessional was Post Malone) and it couldn't have sounded better. You won't regret booking her services!

Incredible addition for ceremony music

Ceremony Music: Inspire With Strings- A++
AnnaMaria is so efficient and easy to communicate with. We booked piano and violin. I chose all the pieces. They had to arrange one piece for an extra $50. I gave them the YouTube video and time stamps and it was arranged perfectly (a piece from Harry Potter). It sounded beyond beautiful. AnnaMaria was so accommodating and she’s extremely talented. Book her! There is nothing like strings for your ceremony!

Excellent!

AnnMarie is extremely talented and was excellent to work with. I booked her during the pandemic and while I couldn’t hear her or her team perform live, she sent me many links to weddings they have worked before. The classical music was a great elegant touch to our cocktail hour and they also brought their own amp system so everyone in our huge outdoor cocktail hour space could hear them.

Bridgerton Come To Life!

Can I just say WOW! I love the show Bridgerton and knew in my heart I wanted strings to play when I walked down the aisle. AnnMarie from Inspire With Strings was amazing from start to finish! She even helped me pick my songs. I walked down the aisle to Vivaldi the Bridgerton version of Seasons and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The music truly took my ceremony to the next level. I highly recommend this phenomenal and talented group of musicians.

Phenomenal is an understatement!

Inspire With Strings was a huge hit at our wedding! We had guest arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to have a drink, take in the view and make sure they didn’t stroll in during the actual ceremony. With that in mind, having a live musician (solo violinist) there kept everyone entertained while waiting. We were provided a repertoire when we contracted with them and were able to request some songs that were not on their list. They covered a spectrum of songs from classical to American classics to todays hits and AnnMarie was incredibly easy to work with. I unfortunately didn’t catch the first 30 minutes but guest raved about it! I second guessed myself, a lot, about there being just a soloist and not a duo, trio, quartet for fear of it not ‘being enough’ and I was so wrong for doing that to myself! I obviously caught the songs they played when I walked up and down the aisle and I felt like they really provided a romantic, personal, deeper touch you just don’t get with pre recorded music. If you’re considering using Inspire With Strings, don’t hesitate!

Highly Recommend!

We contracted with Ann Marie and her team to have a string quartet for our ceremony and they did an amazing job! From the moment we inquired with them to the day of the wedding they did a great job with communication and were very responsive.

Day of the wedding, their performance was spectacular. All of our guest talk about 2 things, how good the food was and how they LOVED the strings quartet during the ceremony.

I highly recommend to any bride who wants to make their ceremony extra special and cannot thank them enough for making our wedding so special and beautiful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
