Thank you, Southern Strings!

Southern Strings was an amazing addition to our wedding this spring! It simply would not have been the same without them. We received so many compliments on the performance, and it was incredibly special to have the instrumental version of meaningful songs played during our prelude and ceremony. Cocktail hour was also extra fun due to their presence, as the strings duo we hired performed renditions of popular songs! We can't recommend them enough.

Our May 2nd Wedding with Southern Strings!

Southern Strings did such a beautiful job at our wedding. We loved having them, and they helped make our day so special! Our guests loved them almost as much as we did, and they truly accomplished bringing out the beauty in some of our favorite songs. They are also so great to work with, particularly because of how responsive and kind they are. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Booking Southern Strings for a Concert Series

I am so happy with the performance Southern Strings delivered for our Vernal Equinox Concert. I am a Visitor Program Coordinator and I booked them for our concert series this year. They put together a lovely, engaging program for our audience as well as insightful commentary. Some comments from our event survey include: "I loved the music, they played a great variety of songs." "The String Quartet and music selection were great." "Really good musicians." "They played a great variety of songs. I knew all but a couple, and still enjoyed those."

In addition to their talent, I was relieved by how easy and straight forward Southern Strings are to work with and schedule. They balance professionalism with friendly, easy going attitudes that make event planning feel like a breeze. I am excited to continue working with them on our concert series!

LOVED having Southern Strings play our wedding!!

Southern Strings were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding and cocktail hour! They took all our requests and played a beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour for us. When we didn’t get to hear one of our cocktail songs we had requested because we weren’t out yet, they even played it again for us so we could hear. So many people raved about how wonderful they sounded. I’d highly recommend them for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour! They sounded amazing and were so kind to us.

Wedding Ceremony Violinst

We worked with Claire to surprise my daughter during her walk out to her wedding ceremony to play along with her entrance music. It was beautiful! Claire was so helpful prior during planning stages and was prepared by learning new music to make it a magical moment!! It was gorgeous!! I highly recommend Southern Strings.

The best, hands down

Our wedding planner found Southern Strings and I'm so glad she did! Southern Strings was so communicative during the whole process whenever we had questions or wanted their suggestions. They had a HUGE list of songs to choose from. They were on-time and played beautifully. I would recommend them again and again. We were SO pleased and it made our wedding so special having them play for the ceremony.
