Incredibly Talented Musicians!

Vintage String brought our wedding dreams to life! I had a request for an obscure song from My Neighbor Totoro to walk down the aisle to, and Vintage String was happy to bring my dreams to life! They played the song PERFECTLY and I could not have been happier! It was so beautiful and everything I dreamed of. They also did a 2nd special request for my husband and groomsmen entrances from The Lord of the Rings. Vintage Strings is incredibly talented, they are true musical artists. You will not regret working with them!

Amazing!!!

We used Vintage Strings for our June 2025 wedding ceremony and truly can’t recommend them enough! They were incredibly easy to work with, responsive, helpful, and so accommodating throughout the entire process.

Our wedding at Belle Mer in Newport went seamlessly, and they handled all the ceremony setup and logistics with ease, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. The atmosphere they created as guests arrived was beautiful and really set the tone for the day.

They did an amazing job, and we highly recommend them for any wedding or special event!!

Live Wedding Music

We hired Vintage String for our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! We had a violinist and a cellist perform live acoustic music during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it made every moment feel sweeter, more romantic, and so memorable. Their sound filled the room in the most elegant way without ever overpowering anything, it truly elevated the entire atmosphere.
They were professional, easy to work with, talented beyond words, and our guests could not stop complimenting how beautiful the music was. If you’re looking for musicians who add emotion, charm and timeless beauty to your day, Vintage String is a perfect choice. I would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married!

One word - WOW!!

The moment I listened to the video files provided by Diane, I knew i needed to have Vintage Strings be a part of my wedding. They played beautifully for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

Diane was responsive, easy to work with, and really paid attention to the details. My only regret is that I did not get to enjoy the band as much as I wanted to due to taking photos, greeting guests, etc..

Vintage String will elevate your wedding!! I'm so glad they were a part of mine. Hoping I'll be lucky enough to hear them play again.

Our wedding guests raved about Vintage String Music

We hired Vintage String Music trio for our two daughters'
weddings one year apart. They were helpful, responsive, easy to work with and suggested the most wonderful ideas for music selections. Vintage String played pre-wedding, wedding and cocktail hour for both weddings. I would hire them for any event I was hosting!

Memorable Wedding with Talented Musicians!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Diane and Vanessa/ The Vintage String team!
Our wedding songs for the ceremony and cocktail hour were a lovely mix of contemporary songs and along with a few classic songs. We hired their Trio String group! All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible this talented group of violin players were. I can't recommend anyone better!
Highly recommend booking with the Vintage String Team right away. They made our special day so magical and filled with a perfect melody that we won't every forget!
