Beautiful violinist

Kayla was super sweet and professional. Although it was a bit windy, it didn’t stop her from performing so beautifully!

The day of, they did their thing and we had absolutely nothing to worry about. Would recommend to anybody looking for music on their big day!

Wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music

Live Oak Strings were a wonderful addition to both our ceremony and cocktail hour. We had the string duo play for the ceremony and the jazz trio play for our cocktail hour. They have an extensive repertoire of songs they can play. We handpicked a couple songs for the ceremony, but otherwise wanted them to pick songs that they felt would be fitting for the ceremony and it was perfect! The jazz trio also set the perfect tone for cocktail hour. Highly recommend!
