ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We used Sterling Artists' strings and tenor for our nuptial mass and their rolling strings for our reception cocktail hour. The strings were beautiful and the tenor was great! We had several friends at our wedding who are getting married soon and we heard phrases like "I have to have them at my wedding!". We had several emails from friends asking for their information. They were very pleasant to work with and very talented muscians. We would highly recommend them to everyone!

The most beautiful music I have heard during a ceremony. All our guests and family members raved about how wonderful the music was.

The Crystal Strings provided a string quartet for cocktails and a larger group of strolling strings for dinner. These fine musicians -- all serving in the Army -- played a wonderful selection of lovely music that was the perfect accompaniment in the early evening. David Kucharski was most pleasant and helpful in determining what we really wanted! Mother-of-the-Bride
