Great music, personable, and professional

Viva La Strings provided our wedding with great music that fit the ambiance of our wedding. Pendra was great to work with and extremely prompt with responses. With a busy schedule they were flexible and able to communicate over video chat. They had an extensive list of music to choose from. The day of the ceremony Viva La Strings was timely and easy to work with. All of our guests praised how great the music was for the event.
Thank you again.

Elegant wedding performance

We are so happy that we booked Viva La Strings Nashville for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding. They were professional, friendly and extremely talented. The entire planning process, including booking, song selections, and finalizing details, was straightforward and easy to navigate. Lila promptly answered any questions that arose and was always accessible if anything came up. The quartet added the perfect amount of elegance and fun to our outdoor wedding, and we overheard several guests specifically praising their performance. We’d recommend Viva La Strings to anyone looking for incredible live music!

Wedding Ceremony

We hired Viva la Strings string quartet for our wedding ceremony and could not have been any happier with the beautiful music they provided. It really made the ceremony beautiful. There was a wide variety of music to select from and they would have accommodated any special requests as well. We also had them play at the cocktail hour immediately following where we requested a different style of music. They did an excellent job with both ad we got many compliments. This is well worth the money if you want something special for your event. I highly recommend.

Amazing performance!

We received so many complements from our wedding guests. They were professional, friendly and worth every penny. I would recommend them to anyone having a special event. One of my guests stated it was the chef’s kiss to the evening and I would agree. Viva La Strings booking process was easy and Renee was so helpful. Overall, it was a beautiful experience.

Amazing violinist for wedding!

They were very professional played beautifully through our ceremony and cocktail hour! We got to choose all the songs that were played and they did a great job. Violins were the perfect touch to bring that extra detail and sentiment to our ceremony. There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd! The price was very reasonable and would recommend to anyone!
