Kevin and Stacia Santrock wedding

Sterling and Strings was an excellent choice for our wedding. They were prompt, accommodating, and very professional. Most importantly, their performance was concert worthy. They have an unlimited repertoire and have an arranger within their group who can personalize their music for any event. Unfortunately, there was a lot of crowd noise and background water noise from the aquarium fish tank which was at times overpowering their beautiful sounds. Perhaps a sound system would help with this problem. All in all, I would hire them again or go to a concert hall to attend their recitals.

Set the mood for a perfect day

I planned my wedding at Phipps long distance. I knew I wanted a string trio, as I had always imagined walking in to Cannon in D. I communicated with Susanna in the months leading up to the wedding, and she was always helpful. I took advantage of the offer a special piece could be arranged. I requested "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS. It was absolutely perfect! We actually took a moment after our ceremony, to enjoy the arrangement and had out first dance; pic included. It was everything we had hoped for

The music at our wedding was amazing and each musician was both professional and warm. It was everything we hoped it would be. Susanna arranged a very special song for us and I will remember that moment forever.

The music for our wedding was a very important part of the celebration. It was actually a surprise for my bride. Everything was perfect this day. The song selection was great and it was so nice to work with such professionals. I would not hesitate to ask for their services again.

Susannah was great to work with. We communicated via email which worked out well. Music was beautiful and she even learned a song called Hymne that I had wanted. Made the ceremony special.

Would highly recommend!

We used the trio (cello, violin, and flute) for our ceremony, and they were great! The music was beautiful. They were very easy to work with during the planning process - I was able to do everything via email. Their website is very helpful, too. They have video samples and suggested songs for each part of the ceremony. I highly recommend them!

We used the quartet and they were great! Other than telling them which music you want, they really need no direction at all...they just show up and play beautiful music and everything went seamlessly. I also love their website, it gives suggestions for music to play during the ceremony and there are even videos you can watch of them playing excerpts from certain pieces...which was the main reason why I picked them--i could see that they were really good! They are also very reasonably priced compared to other ceremony musicians. I highly recommend them!

The Sterling Strings of Shenango provide beautiful music and are very easy to work with. One of them attended the wedding rehearsal to be sure that all went well. They provided a download of the music to our soloist so that she could practice singing her piece with their accompaniment. We needed a keyboard player and they helped us find one. I highly recommend them.
