Out of this world fun!

This is the best String Quartet I've seen live! They made the wedding so magical and lively! The most fun I've had as a bridesmaid! Seeing people run over to dance or sing songs they didn't know would be played was really fun. The mix of songs were perfect! They were all so nice as well and professional!

The Perfect Wedding Music!

We knew having a DJ would not fit our personalities or the vibe of our wedding, so we decided to book Vivace for the whole event. We are so glad we did!! They did an amazing job of varying the music throughout the night. The quartet was beautiful for the ceremony - many tears were shed! For cocktail hour and the reception, they incorporated drums and played more modern, upbeat music. During dinner, they played softer background music. We had several guests tell us how amazing the music was, and we completely agree!! It was exactly what we were looking for and set the tone perfectly for the night!

Sarah and Julianna were easy to work with throughout the booking and planning process, even when we had a few last minute changes to make. We also had their drummer emcee for us since we didn't have a DJ. He did a great job of making announcements throughout the night.

We can't recommend Vivace enough!! They played a huge part in making this the best day of our lives!

A must book!!!

We wanted to book a musician group for our ceremony and cocktail hour on during our December 2024 wedding. When I discovered Vivace and their repertoire of music, I knew we had to work with them. They made everything so easy and painless and our guests LOVED the vibes of a string quartet playing modern music. Book them now - you won’t regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
