Summit Strings were the best for my daughter’s wedding.

Summit Strings – quartet played at my daughter’s wedding in April 2019 at Sorella Farms.
The string quartet played 30 minutes before the wedding – during the wedding and during the cocktail hour after the wedding while the family was getting pictures taken. Steve was wonderful to work with before the wedding and the whole quartet sounded wonderful. The day was cool – 58 degrees – and they had to keep tuning for the beautiful music. The reason we chose Summit Strings was because they had a beautiful and complete music list. From classical to more contemporary music – my daughter was able to choose music that she wanted to hear during her special day. They played “What a Wonderful World” as the family and friends came down the aisle and “A Thousand Years” as my daughter walked down the aisle. It was a magical moment – I will never forget. Summit Strings was an integral part of making the day beautiful and memorable – and I would hire them again for any occasion.

Summit Strings was wonderful!

We had Steve Holman on the guitar and Joy Pritz on the violin from Summit Strings to play for our wedding ceremony prelude, the ceremony itself, and the cocktail hour. They provided amplification which worked nicely. They were also very accommodating to our song requests. I even had a specific song they hadn’t done before for the groom to walk out to, and they found the sheet music for it and did wonderfully playing it without a hitch. I, of course being the bride, didn’t get to hear any of the prelude, but the music I did hear was beautiful and, granted I wasn’t listening for any, I never heard any hiccups. Everything was so smooth and made for the perfect, elegant background music during cocktail hour. They are quite versatile with the ability to play more traditional songs as well as more modern songs. If I ever had questions throughout the planning process, I could just text or email Steve and he got back promptly each time. They both were very friendly once I finally got to meet them in person, as well! Overall, a great experience and all for a very reasonable price!

Beautiful and Moving Music!

We loved having Summit Strings play for our ceremony! Their playing was beautiful and many of our guests commented on how lovely the music was. Steve was wonderful to work with, from learning two special songs for our processionals to his professionalism in our interactions and planning. I cannot recommend Summit Strings enough for your wedding or special event!

Wedding event

I hired Summit Strings to play at an outdoor wedding in Western NC. The day ended up being rainy and the road was muddy and partially washed away. Steve “came through” for us and arrived, even before the wedding party, set-up and ready to play! The music was beautiful and really made the event special. I highly recommend Summit Strings for your event!

Violin and Cellist Duo

Summit Strings did an amazing job performing at our wedding! We wanted to do something unique at our ceremony and were thrilled when we found them. We ended up having the string duo (violin and cellist!) Throughout the entire process, they were quick to respond and were very accommodating with the songs I requested be played. Having them there provided a sweet, personal touch to our ceremony and our guests could not stop raving about how great they were! They were even willing and able to provide equipment for our officiant to use!
I could not recommend them more!

Perfect for our big day!

My husband and I reached out to Summit Strings to play at our wedding day in May 2025, and I am so glad that we did! The music for the ceremony was absolutely beautiful! There was a major windstorm the day of our wedding, but Steve and the other musicians improvised and made it work to play for our outdoor ceremony. Looking back and watching our wedding video, everything sounded so beautiful. And they were even willing to learn a new piece for our wedding that I requested as a surprise for my husband shortly before our wedding day. The quartet was professional, and the communication prior to our day was helpful and timely. Thank you again for making our wedding day even more special! I highly recommend Summit Strings for anyone looking for musicians for their wedding or other special event.

Hire him!!

Steve added such a special, elegant touch to our wedding 🎻💛 The ceremony music was absolutely beautiful — emotional, timeless, and perfectly matched to the moment. He’s incredibly talented, professional, and easy to work with. His music created the perfect atmosphere and made the whole ceremony feel even more meaningful. I’m so grateful he was part of our day! 🕊️🎼

The passion for music makes all the difference!

As a florist in the industry for 12 years I have worked with many music groups. However, summit strings is a very talented group of musicians. It was a pleasure working with them for a clients wedding. I would definitely recommend booking them if you are looking for a string quartet!
