Beautiful Music

We used a duo for our wedding ceremony. It was such a beautiful addition. Janie was so wonderful to work with and it was amazing getting to choose a custom song for our recessional.

An elevated ceremony!

I absolutely loved working with Janie + Vanderbilt Strings. From the very beginning, I was excited to work with these talented musicians. Their portal of different songs I could choose for my ceremony was awesome, but even more so, I had several songs that were not a part of their library that they crafted and perfected for my big day. I had so many guests saying how nice and how cool it was to hear some of their favorite songs played during the ceremony in such a beautiful way. Thank you, thank you for making our day so special!

Professional, Well Rehearsed

For our wedding on 12/17/2022, we hired a string trio to perform our ceremony, and they were fantastic. They went out of their way to play something special for my mom at my request, and of course, they play wonderfully.

Fabulous Classy Entertainment

We hired Vanderbilt Strings to play during a rehearsal dinner on Marco Island, FL. They were absolutely great - start to finish. They were easy to communicate with (throughout the process) and so pleasant to deal with....we couldn't wait to meet them. The evening of the big event they arrived a bit early, set up efficiently and played beautifully throughout the cocktail hour and the dinner. They paused during speeches....but picked up seamlessly as soon as the last speaker concluded.

Our event was on an enormous outdoor lawn. They were able to bring equipment to help with sound quality. The balconies of the hotel overlooked the lawn. The music was so lovely that other hotel guests came out to sit on their balconies and take in the free concert. The evening was magical....thanks in large part to Vanderbilt Strings. We'd highly recommend them!!

Naples beach wedding

The Vanderbilt strings performed at my wedding ceremony on the beach. I had an ‘off list’ request and they didn’t hesitate to learn the song and perform it flawlessly. They exceeded all expectations. Would hire 1000x over
