Lovely String Trio for our Wedding

From the moment we met Susie (the owner of Kessler Strings), we could see her passion for music. Her excitement when talking about songs from Puccini to the Bridgerton Soundtrack made us know immediately that we wanted to hire Kessler Strings for our wedding ceremony.

Kessler Strings has a long repertoire filled with a range of selections that can suit any couple or wedding. We had included songs from Taylor Swift, Bach, Puccini, and even Lord of the Rings in our prelude and ceremony music.

The trio at our ceremony did an incredible job and we received so many compliments from family and guests on how lovely they sounded. My husband cried as soon as he heard them start to play the song I walked down the aisle to, and it was a picture perfect moment to celebrate our marriage.

We cannot recommend Kessler Strings enough for any couple looking to add strings to their day. Susie's passion for music coupled with her desire to make wedding days special is an unbeatable combo. Thank you to Susie and the entire Kessler Strings team for making our string trio dreams come true!

Absolutely Perfect!

Susie is amazing! My husband and I loved working with her and figuring out what music we wanted. She had so many great ideas and really went out of the way to even get new music we were interested in! Her ensemble played beautifully at the ceremony and is everything I could wish for! I highly recommend!

Outstanding Performance

Kessler Strings performed at our wedding on November 16, 2019. A class act! An outstanding performance customized a rock and roll flare into a classical venue. What a fantastic adaptation! Bravo ladies! Thank you for making our day so special. The Hoggards
