Made for an even better wedding!

We hired Subito Strings to do arrival cocktails, ceremony music and cocktail hour music. We selected our favorite pop songs and they did an amazing job. We also commissioned them to do two new pieces to perform with friends of ours that sing, which made for an even more special day.

Rebecca of Subito Strings provided fast, clear communication and on the day the quartet was remarkable, at both ceremony (classical) and cocktail reception (jazz/pop). Highly recommended.

I used Subito Strings for my December 2015 wedding in Monterey, CA. I was happy to learn that Subito Strings would travel to Monterey from SoCal for a reasonable fee to perform at my wedding.

We used a string quartet for pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour. After seeing their website and some of the contemporary songs they had in their repertoire, and hearing samples, we knew we had to have them play our wedding. They offer so many songs beyond the standard classical fare often performed at weddings, and we just loved that. In fact, we mostly had them play Queen, Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, etc. and it was great. The music appealed to guests of every age, from the 20-somethings to the much older relatives.

Communication with Rebecca went well every step of the way. She was easy to get in touch with and responded to my emails promptly.

My one wish was that I could have enjoyed their music more on the day of! Before the ceremony I was hidden away and then during cocktail hour my husband and I had to step away from cocktail hour to sign our marriage license so we didn't get to hear them for as long as we liked, but everything I did hear was phenomenal, and many of our guests' comments to us during the reception further confirmed this.

If I ever have another opportunity to hire a string quartet, I will go straight to Subito Strings. My husband and I would almost even create a special event/occasion where we could use a string quartet, JUST so we can hire them again!

My husband and I hired Subito Strings to play at our wedding last August and they were spectacular! Rebecca was professional, friendly, and prompt with her communication from the very beginning--fantastic business. On the wedding day, the string quartet played absolutely beautifully-- I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to play at our ceremony! A wonderful mix of classical and contemporary hits-- and they all sounded amazing! I highly recommend Subito Strings! Music is very important to us and we are glad that we chose good musicians...such a wonderful part of our wedding day memories!

Subito Strings did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding. Rebecca was very easy to work with and always responsive. Their performance was impeccable and elevated our wedding to a truly memorable event. We encountered a small problem on the day of our wedding which required that Subito Strings perform for an extra 30-minutes. They did so without hesitation and saved the day. Thank you!

Subito Strings is AMAZING!!!

I booked Subito Strings to play for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were beyond terrific!

I chose the quartet for a fuller sound as was not disappointed. They have an extensive list of music to choose from, from classical, to modern, and an incredibly talented team of musicians with impressive backgrounds.

Rebecca was very accommodating, professional, and very easy to deal with!

Overall my wife and I were very ecstatic to have their string quartet perform their amazingly beautiful music at our wedding!

I absolutely recommend hiring Rebecca and her team for any bride-to-be's wedding!!!!

Thanks again Rebecca for adding that magical romantic formula to our wedding ceremony!!!

Subitro Strings was great and Rebecca was a pleasure to work with. They have a huge selection of music both classic and contemporary and you can listen to some samples on their website. Rebecca makes it super easy. You get a document with a complete list of their repertoire for all arrangements (they have many options to fit your budget) and a form to select your songs. Rebecca also can give you plenty of advice and options based on her years of experience with weddings and what works well based on your taste and ceremony. We ended-up changing from a trio to a quartet as the selection for the quartet is much larger (plus I wanted to walk down the aisle to What a Wonderful World which was only arranged for the quartet), and since we were having them play both the ceremony and cocktail hour we needed to pick approximately 18 songs to fill the time. Also, it was really cool being able to watch the wedding party walk down to the music before I made the grand entrance; made the event very surreal and as if I was watching a performance. The sound and quality was great. Hire Subito Strings!

We hired Subito Strings to provide a string quartet for our July 2013 wedding and it made all the difference. Coordinator (and violinist) Rebecca Chung was super helpful, patient and quick to respond -- and offered great suggestions regarding song choices for the ceremony.

The group has a huge repertoire, from which we chose songs from musicals, Beatles, Queen, Guns n' Roses as well as more traditional selections. They also offer songs outside their repertoire for a slightly larger fee. Overall, they are really affordable and their total price fit within our tight budget.

We are so glad we booked them and many of our guests complimented us on choosing Subito Strings, whose musicians gave a beautiful, flawless performance that gave our wedding that extra touch that made it, without a doubt, absolutely perfect.

Rebecca provided a string trio during my daughter's wedding dinner hour, which was outdoors on a lawn area at Malibou Lake Mountain Club. Subito Strings performed beautifully to the delight of our guests. So many folks mentioned the exceptional talent of these accomplished musicians. It was a wonderful experience.

We had the pleasure to have Subito Strings' string quartet play our ceremony music for our May 2013 wedding. They were absolutely marvelous. As soon as I heard their music playing while I was tucked away hidden from my groom and guests, I got the chills all over me. I didn't get so see them as I walked down the isle due to nerves and my focus being on the love of my life :) but our photographers captured them for us in our photos and it was there that I saw the class and elegance they added to our wedding. I highly recommend them!
