100% recommend

We highly recommend Penn Strings for your wedding day! They added the perfect touch to our micro wedding at Promise Ridge in June 2024. Susanne was incredibly helpful in coordinating the process throughout. We enjoyed choosing our songs from their extensive list and appreciated the option to make special requests for a small fee, which truly enhanced our celebration. Chris, the violinist, and Tom, the guitarist, were exceptional, creating the ideal atmosphere for our wedding. They played each piece with great passion and enthusiasm. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful!

Penn Strings performed at our wedding and were absolutely exceptional. Their musical talent added a beautiful and elegant touch to our ceremony, creating a super memorable and ethereal atmosphere. Their professionalism and skill were evident throughout, making our special day even more magical. We had a vision for the song we walked down the aisle to, and they executed it flawlessly.

So glad we had Penn Strings at our wedding!

We are so glad we had Penn Strings as part of our wedding day! Susanne was very responsive and answered all our questions leading up to the day, and picking out our playlist was so much fun. We had a string duet of violin and cello and Chris and Aggie were amazing! They added the perfect dreamy soundtrack to our beautiful day. We highly recommend them!
