Amazing music for wedding ceremony and cocktail hour!

Melodious Strings played the ceremony and cocktail music for my daughter's recent wedding. Their repertoire was huge and allowed the bride and groom to choose different genres (classical vs. more contemporary) for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We feel that they were reasonably priced for the level of talent as well as duration and variety of music that they played. Communication via email was prompt and professional. The artists are talented, professional and experienced. The music was absolutely beautiful and we wouldn't hesitate to work with Melodious Strings again. Thank you!

Incredibly Talented, Book ASAP!

We cannot recommend Melodious Strings enough! They were professional, punctual, and played beautifully throughout our ceremony. I was so impressed by their willingness to learn a specific song for my walk down the aisle, it made the moment feel so personal and unique. The song selection process was seamless, and we received so many compliments from our guests on how lovely the music was. A truly talented group that we would recommend to any couple!

An Elegant Addition to our special day!


We were delighted with the music services provided by Melodious Strings. The musicians arrived on time and played beautifully, adding a touch of elegance to our ceremony. I also really appreciated the helpful song choice suggestions leading up to the big day. We went with a duet of a cello and violin and felt this was perfect for our budget and guest size of around 90 people.

This was the one item I “splurged” on for our wedding and I could not be happier with the services. Great value and highly recommend!

May Wedding

Melodious Strings provided beautiful classical music for our daughter's May wedding outdoors at the Castle Hill venue in Charlottesville. Their repertoire was so generous that every piece we desired they could play. The string music set the perfect tone and the timing of switching from prelude music to the different ceremony pieces and then postlude was impeccable. Kate is not only a talented musician and director of the quartet but made the process very smooth administratively with excellent worksheets that covered every step of the ceremony so that there were no loose ends. We were extremely happy with every aspect of our partnership with Melodious Strings and highly recommend them! Robyn

An incredible vibe on our wedding day!

We are so glad Melodious Strings was part of our wedding day! We had a string trio (violin, viola, cello) and they were absolutely amazing. The quality of the performance was great, the repertoire is so full of great music and they were responsive with questions. We were also able to create our own playlist for the day, which was so fun to put together. Our guests raved about the trio and had a blast dancing to their music during the pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. We appreciate your work so much!

They Are the Very Best!

Very easy to work with. A couple of emails back and forth and gave them the keys to the cocktail hour entertainment! Amazing. Don’t think twice about them being a part of your vendor team. Highly recommend!

Perfect touch for our ceremony!

We booked a string trio through Melodious Strings for our wedding ceremony and they were amazing. They were so great to work with when constructing our playlist and offered plenty of suggestions to help get a list of songs together. They added the perfect touch for our ceremony and we are so glad we had them!

I've worked with Kate on numerous occasions. One of her strengths is in Celtic music (playing, improvising, and writing). However, she is also very accomplished in many musical styles from classical to pop. She loves to collaborate and share her visions for how music can transform an event. She is very professional and always on time, and I would not hesitate to contact her for a quote.
