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!

Promise Ridge on Top of the World

The live music Chris and his team provided for our intimate Promise Ridge wedding was fantastic. It provide the cinematic, stirring background to our amazing day. I will never forget walking down the aisle to "Liz on Top of the World" from Pride and Prejudice :') Working with Susanne was a dream - she was on top of everything and so easy to work with!

Beautiful music for our ceremony

We loved working with Penn Strings! They were very professional and the music was perfect for our ceremony. We loved that we could choose the music, ask for recommendations, and in some parts of the ceremony we chose to let the musicians decide what music to play. We think they did a great job with everything, and we would highly recommend!

Outdoor Late Summer Farm Wedding

Penn Strings was awesome to work with from start to finish. We had them play for about 3 hours, including ceremony and then cocktail hour(s). Susanne was a joy to work with throughout the planning stages, from our initial questions to selecting specific pieces of music. We live in a different time zone from PA, so her excellent responsiveness over email made our lives super easy and we greatly appreciate it. The music on the day was lovely, as were the musicians. Thanks for helping to make our day so special!

String Duet !

Our wedding was 10/15/22 and we had Penn Strings play for our ceremony! We had a string duet with a violin and cello. They were amazing and made our ceremony all the more beautiful. They had a huge song list to chose from! Highly recommend booking them!

Beautiful music and easy to work with

We had a great experience hiring Penn Strings to play during our pre-ceremony refreshments and cocktail hour. The guest commented on how beautiful the music was. Susanne was super responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Beyond What I Imagined!

Thank you, THANK YOU for making our wedding day one to remember. The entire booking process was super simple (shout out to the coordinator of Penn Strings, who responded to every email in a timely fashion) and to the artists who came together to make such beautiful music on a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. I had requested "Turning Page" from the Twilight movie as the song I would walk down the aisle to, and no exaggeration, I felt like I was in the movie at that moment in time as I made my way towards my husband. My ultimate dream came true in that moment and I had Penn Strings there to make it all possible. My only regret is that I was not able to attend my own cocktail hour to hear the phenomenal SCOTT BESSER play the piano, which I had wanted for our wedding. I heard great things and am so happy that everyone enjoyed. Thank you again!!!!
