Unparalleled sound and professionalism. A+++
Sweetwater Strings gave a wonderful performance at our wedding. The music was amazing, and the selections plus overall sound were perfect. I'm not the only one who feels this way; my new wife, and countless guests, were also very, very pleased. Despite some last minute changes due to the weather, my wife and I enjoyed a perfect wedding due in large part to Sweetwater Strings. In addition to their beautiful sound, I can't say enough about their flexibility and professionalism. I hope to have another opportunity to hire them for future celebrations, and I strongly recommend them to anyone searching for impeccable performers.

Perfect ceremony music
We decided fairly late in the game that we wanted acoustic guitar for our ceremony. We contacted Eily at Sweetwater Strings, and she was very nice and set us up with Alex, one of their guitarists. Their booking process was easy, and their website had a really handy extensive list of song suggestions. The music turned out lovely!
