Strings at our marsh wedding

Arline and David were the perfect bow on top to our wedding day. Their strings helped set the exact mood and vibe we were trying to create and we would recommend them to anyone! Arline sent us a very long list of songs they were prepared to play, and was super accommodating when we picked options off the list. On wedding day they were on point in terms of timing and sound. We appreciate the flexibility and professionalism throughout the process, thanks again!!!

So talented and kind!

We hired Two Strings to play at our wedding in Palmetto Bluff on 1/31/26. From the beginning, Arline was super responsive and personable. They played a mix of modern and classic songs for our ceremony. Arline was also available to offer her professional help in choosing songs. She is super organized and knows what she’s doing! The violin and cello were the perfect touch to our intimate ceremony. I highly recommend booking Two Strings for your wedding!

Perfect Ceremony and Cocktail Music

We were so lucky to have Arline from Two Strings play violin at our wedding! From the very start, she was so easy to work with and incredibly flexible. She helped us pick the perfect music for our ceremony, and made everything so simple and stress-free. After booking, we were able to add on extra time for her to play during our cocktail hour, which we really appreciated. Her music was elegant, moving, and truly elevated our whole day. Highly recommended!

Four strings are even better!

We hired a wonderful quartet with Arline at Two Strings to play the ceremony music and during the cocktail hour, for our daughter's wedding at the Mackey House in Savannah, GA! Arline was so pleasant to work with through the planning of our destination wedding. Helped us with the musical arrangements and special song requests. The music was beautifully played and I could not have asked for a better group of musicians! Thank you Arline and crew for making beautiful music for our daughter's dream wedding!

Simple live music for wedding ceremony!

Arline and Emily were a great addition to our wedding ceremony. They were talented and professional. Arline was easy to work with, communicated well, and was flexible when it came to song selections. They have a great amount of songs to choose from and will even go out of the way to try and meet requests if you have something not on their list!

Wonderful music for our magical wedding

Arline was very responsive when scheduling her services and offered so many options for songs including personalizing songs that we specifically requested to be played that were not on the list. She was prompt, friendly, played beautifully throughout including our first dance by the fountain! Her music made the ceremony extra special!
