    Perfect experience

    Hired Sweetwater Strings for ceremony music, including two custom songs, and it was worth every penny. Eily gave recommendations on the number/type of musicians based on my song choices, and I very much appreciated the guidance. Everyone raved at how amazing they were, and I’m so glad I made this my wedding day splurge.

    Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review- we hope you enjoy your newly married life together!
