Highly recommend!

Olivia and Bridie were wonderful to work with. They were able to learn our 2 custom arrangements within a month of the wedding which we so appreciated. The performance was wonderful! The music was beautiful and I'm so happy we chose to hire them to play for our ceremony. There's just something about live string music that makes a wedding even more special! They have a long repertoire list too, so we were able to choose lots of beautiful songs for the ceremony. And they were so nice and waited for us to finish our photos so we could meet them in person! Would definitely recommend them!

The most amazing ceremony music

Bridie and Olivia were absolutely fabulous to work with. I could not have dreamed of better ceremony music. The string girls composed 3 pieces for me and they played beautifully. I can’t recommend them enough!

Harmonizing Memories with Our Wedding Musicians

We had the pleasure of having The String Girls, Olivia and Bridie, perform at our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with their beautiful music and exceptional service. From the moment we first contacted them, Olivia and Bridie were incredibly kind and accommodating, making the entire process a breeze. They were not only professional but also genuinely passionate about ensuring our wedding day was nothing short of magical. One of the highlights was their willingness to learn and perform a song that held special significance for us but wasn't part of their usual repertoire. Their rendition was simply beautiful and added an extra layer of emotion as we walked down the aisle, so much so that we were inspired to order a recorded track from them to include on our wedding highlights video. Their services are worth every penny and then more, especially considering the quality of their performance and the personalized touches they provided. The String Girls were undoubtedly the perfect addition to our special day, elevating the atmosphere and creating memories that will last a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend The String Girls to anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and warmth to their event. Thank you, Olivia and Bridie, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

So happy we booked The String Girls

The String Girls were absolutely fantastic! I truly appreciated the clear and quick communication leading up to our wedding day, and helping us not only make a decision about which songs to select but also providing their expert recommendation. Birdie and Olivia worked with us and our budget, which was super refreshing especially during the wedding process.

They were super flexible on the day when we had to quickly pivot due to the rain. I'm so glad we went with them! They really delivered a warm and delightful experience (our guests were raving about them!) and I was so happy that they brought my Taylor Swift / Adele vision to our ceremony.

The BEST musicians, hands down.

Book Bridie & Olivia TODAY if you want string music to be a part of your wedding day. Bridie worked with me to not just pick songs but find the perfect snippets from a variety of movie scores and then arrange it to weave seamlessly into the classical pieces we selected. They helped me bring together the score from the Princess Diaries and The Lord of the Rings and even weave in a tune from Return of the King as a surprise to my husband before I walked down the aisle. Olivia selected a delightful variety of classical and pop covers for our prelude that delighted our guests. Bridie and Olivia are extremely talented and detailed masters of their craft.

Beautiful Wedding Ceremony Music

The String Girls (well, one of them since we had a soloist) provided beautiful music for our Catholic wedding ceremony!

We hired them short notice but they were responsive and easy to work with. Plus, I asked our violinist to pick the music and coordinate with an organist she'd never met and she was super helpful, which made my planning much easier. Thank you for making our ceremony so beautiful!

Just the perfect touch of live music for an intimate setting

Bridie and Olivia are lovely and are very passionate about their music and making your day just right. The communication was great throughout the planning process. Bridie strives to create arrangements for viola and cello according to what specific music you want. They are so accommodating and super personable. They are professional and sound great together. It was the perfect touch to add a bit of live music to our intimate wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you both so much!!

Highly recommend!

The String Girls were simply AMAZING! I had a very specific request for the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to and they played it beautifully. They really took the time to learn exactly what we wanted and our guests commented on how amazing they were. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a string duet for their wedding!

Beautiful violin music at a casual outdoor ceremony

I had a casual outdoor ceremony at a summer camp style wedding event, and the beautiful violin music -- decided pretty last minute -- was a perfect addition.
