My fantasy of having strings play as guests arrived, while I walked down the aisle and during our cocktail hour was brought to life and then some by having Gretchen and Kerry at our wedding at a private home in Oakland this month!

Their music was stunning and flawlessly performed. They really went the extra mile to support me in planning and executing what I had dreamed of for the day! They have an amazing repertoire of modern and classic music - I was so impressed by the breadth of what they offered that I truly struggled to narrow down my song list (we started with something around 50 songs that I was excited to hear played - Gretchen had to reign us in a bit ;p). I was so tickled that Everything Is Awesome was int their repertoire and they happily indulged me by playing it a second time, when I missed it being played while we took family photos. They also exceeded my expectations in their composing of a song that I wanted for my processional, but was not in their repertoire.

Not only are they musically wonderful, they are kind, clear and prompt communicators and very organized, which made the whole process a pleasure. My parents helped me plan my wedding and Gretchen and Kerry personally made each of us feel special and appreciated, and made my new husband and I feel celebrated and cared for before, during (Gretchen saved the day with a pair of nail clippers when the groom forgot to clip his nails before arriving to the venue ;P) and in the weeks since the wedding - they really do it all!

If I lived in the area, I would find excuses to hire them again and again, in a heartbeat!

Musical Heart Strings is the absolute sweetest group to work with. Not only are they talented and always adding to their repertoire they're beyond thoughtful as they work with you in creating the perfect song selection. They made our big day extra special!

Musical Heart Strings was an absolute dream at our wedding! They played beautifully during the prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour, setting the perfect ambiance for each moment. Gretchen was a joy to work with—super accommodating and just plain nice. They even learned a new arrangement of "Cloudbusting" for us, which was incredibly special and sounded amazing. Their music during the prelude was so touching it almost had me in tears—seriously, I was this close to ruining my makeup before walking down the aisle! Everyone was raving about how fabulous the string quartet was and how it made the ceremony feel even more magical. Huge thanks to Gretchen and the team at Musical Heart Strings for making our wedding day so memorable with their music. We offer them our highest recommendation.
