About

Vintage Strings is a San Diego based string ensemble active in the San Diego wedding scene for over 20 years. We offer several different string groups from duet groups to our premier group, our quartet. The quartet is our flagship ensemble offering a large classical repertoire covering all the much loved wedding standards Pachelbel Canon, Wagner Bridal Chorus, Mendelssohn Wedding March, Ave Maria plus many more as well as an ever expanding pop song list with titles like Marry Me, Sway, Shut up and Dance and All of Me. The trio has all the classical too with a limited pop selection. The duet ensembles (violin/cello, viola/cello, 2 cellos) are strictly classical. Custom arrangements of that special song are available for a small fee.

Our musicians are all highly trained and bring years of performing experience to each event. We are familiar with many of San Diego's most popular venues: The Prado, St. Francis Chapel, The Marston House, The Lodge at Torrey Pines plus many others.

Let us help you craft the wedding of your dreams with the warm sounds of string music.

Fantastic String Trio

I spoke with Priscilla to have a string trio play during our cocktail hour to give a real bridgerton feel and they 100000% delivered. We had so many guests compliment the trio and talk about it afterward. They really loved the ambiance it gave the day and how wonderful the music sounded. Priscilla was super communicative leading up to the wedding and they showed up on time.

Valentine’s Day dinner music really set the ambiance for our yacht club.

I had no idea a string quartet could play so many popular tunes. Perfect for our event with diners of all ages.

Having Vintage Strings play prior to the wedding service of our son was magical. Thank you.

It was a joy to hear the profession and gentle strings play as guests wandered into the garden for the wedding ceremony.
Yours was a touch that allowed us all to take a deep breath, your choice of music enhanced to solemnity yet joy of the day.

Absolute 5 star musicians! I am not a musician but my husband is (50 + years) and he agreed. He will comment if he hears someone out of tune or just not talented. Priscilla so very easy to work with as I am not from the San Diego area. Replies via email were immediate. She accommodated all my daughter's requests. Price was very reasonable if not less than others in the SD area. I have 3 daughters left to marry and I would definitely go straight to Vintage Strings if any of them choose to marry in the SD area.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
