Highly recommend Melodious Strings!

I'm so glad we decided to hire Melodious Strings - they really elevated our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in such a beautiful, classy, and memorable way. We received so many compliments on the music! Additionally, they were so easy to work with - highly responsive and kind. When I asked if they could learn a new song for our ceremony that wasn't in their repertoire, it wasn't a problem and sounded great live. Thank you so much to your whole team!

Must have vendor!

Having the strings play during our ceremony was a picture perfect moment, and hearing the music while walking down the aisle made me tear up immediately. It was so beautiful. Our guests loved the songs before the ceremony, during, and during cocktail hour! Kate also helped us with selections and was so responsive to any questions I had during the planning/ prep process.

I can't say enough how special it was to have Melodious Strings play on our big day!

Wonderful string quartet

We hired the Melodious Strings quartet for our ceremony & cocktail hour and had a great experience. Kate was very easy to work with, their repertoire of songs is EXTENSIVE, and they were overall amazing! We had multiple guests coming up to us saying "wow I didn't know strings could play "X" pop or rock song and sound so good. I said I wanted Bridgerton vibes at the wedding and our planner said "well, then I know exactly who are going to go with," and she was 100% right. Their process to curate the setlist (you can pick every song they play, give them a vibe and let them run with it, or propose a few songs and then ask them to fill it out) was also really nice & so flexible. Would highly recommend!

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.
