Absolutely Fabulous!! Played for my granddaughter’s wedding, music was great! Ppl stopped and recorded them & they drew a crowd of passers by that stopped to listen for awhile. They were very patient during the delay (I forgot the rings), They were responsive to changes and knew exactly when to fade out. They kept the guests calm & everyone complemented the music to the bride & groom. Thank you Ovation Strings for making my granddaughter’s wedding so very, very special! Cyndi

Communication was excellent! Quick response, very personable, worked hard to plan out music choices with the bride. Cost was more than reasonable for the quality of the music, as was the travel charge. I would recommend them for any venue from upscale hotel to a private garden party- they added the elegance we were looking for in the quaint walled-garden courtyard ceremony.

Wonderful musicians!

I have used Ovation Strings for two events, and they have been absolutely wonderful each time. They are fantastic musicians who make the event even more special, and they are great to work with. Kim is very responsive and goes out of her way to accommodate whatever wants or needs you might have. The other musicians are lovely to speak to and a treat to listen to. I plan to use them for any future events possible, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is hosting an event!

Highly Recommend!

We had Ovation Strings play for our wedding ceremony at Bella Vista Farms this past weekend, and they were absolutely amazing! They were punctual, professional, and so easy to work with. Kim was very responsive from the moment we inquired up until we gave her our final details and music list for the ceremony. The music was truly beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for such a special moment. Their timing for each entrance and part of the ceremony was spot on, and it all flowed so naturally. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our day.

Perfect for wedding ceremony and reception!

Kim and the Ovation Strings quartet did an incredible job playing for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We had a special song request for the bridal entrance and they performed the new piece flawlessly. They also incorporated our repertoire preferences into the music for our guest welcome and cocktail hour. Overall would highly recommend Ovation Strings!

A Truly Exceptional Experience

I hired Ovation Strings for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough—especially Kim, who was an absolute godsend. Just days before my ceremony, I was thrown into a panic when my church informed me I’d be required to hire their choir in addition to the string quartet I had already booked months in advance. Kim went above and beyond to help me during that stressful time. She connected me with a colleague who had extensive experience with Catholic Masses, and that guidance made a world of difference.

The group itself was incredibly professional, punctual, and incredibly talented. Their repertoire was a beautiful mix of classical and contemporary pieces, which brought such a warm and elegant atmosphere to the ceremony. Honestly, I would have loved for them to play the entire service if the church had allowed it.

Despite the last-minute curveballs from the church, Kim and the quartet remained flexible and gracious. They worked seamlessly with the church choir and elevated the entire ceremony with their gorgeous music. It was truly one of the highlights of our day and made our wedding ceremony feel more joyful, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

An Elegant Tough

I'm so happy I decided to hire Ovation Strings for my ceremony! We got married in Forest Hill at the Forest House Lodge, it was the perfect set and setting for a string quartet. It added so much elegance and class, and really put the final touches on the storybook fairytale wedding we were creating. Our guests were very impressed and also surprised to see the string Quartet, they said they sounded beautiful and that it was very impressive! Ovation Strings were very easy to work with from start to finish, they also helped me go through my music selection to pick out the right songs based on their expertise and the vibe that I wanted. They help me realize that we needed a buildup, from the bridal party walking down, to the groom showing up, to the bride making her grand entrance! I'm so happy that I followed their guidance, I'm getting chills as I write this. The whole experience was stunning!If you're on the fence about getting a string quartet, I highly encourage you to do so. We are very grateful for our experience with Ovation Strings and highly recommend them, five stars and beyond!

So impressed! 10/10

Ovation strings is amazing! I did not have a wedding coordinator and Kimberly offered to play at our rehearsal so my wedding party could practice. She is always quick to respond too. Everyone loved the music and it added that extra touch to our ceremony. She helped me with the order and the timing too. It wouldn't have gone as smoothly without her expertise! 10/10 recommend them for any event.

Highly recommend!

Ovation Strings, from the very first moment I contacted them, was thoroughly professional in every way. Kimberly worked with me on the songs for a memorial service I was planning for my brother, stayed in touch, and then Ovation Strings delivered a stellar performance at the service. The trio we hired was spectacularly talented, and the music couldn't have been more perfect. Countless people commented on the quality of the music and how moving the selections were. I give them my highest recommendation! True professionals-- and SO talented and kind!
