Made our day!

We loved having Penn Strings duo during our wedding day! The violin and cello made the day so much more romantic and we loved identifying the songs that we had chosen and singing along with our guests! They made the planning process easy as well!

I LOVED working with Chris Souza! He and the cello player were fabulous! I wanted something small, but unique for our wedding and they played several pieces-both traditional and non traditional and everyone raved about their music. He was very fast at getting back to me and made me feel that my wedding was very important to him. I would definitely recommend his company! Very professional and they even played for me for about an hour as a 'tryout' when I had already planned to book them... website was very very helpful, too!

My husband and I hired Penn Strings to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on May 9th at Mountain Springs Lake Resort. They truly made our wedding day that much more special. Working with Susanne was a pleasure. We so appreciated the great email communication and customer service throughout our planning process. Having Mike and Aggie there to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour was a beautiful touch and was complimented on by so many of our guests. They were absolutely wonderful! Not only were they extremely talented and beautiful musicians, but their sound completely filled the outdoor area in which they played. It was very cool to be able to choose a mix of classical and contemporary music and made for a fun surprise for our guests. Thank you again for everything. You guys were absolutely wonderful to work with!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
