A beautiful performance that exceeded our expectations! 5 Stars!

I can't say enough good things about Wilmington Strings. The beautiful performance by the string quartet elevated my son's entire wedding ceremony. We received so many complements about the ceremony music from our guests. Truly, the program WS provided didn't simply meet our expectations; it exceeded them. Aside from the music itself, Kathleen from WS was patient with us, prompt in responding, helpful in planning, and attentive to every detail. The cost of their services we received was quite reasonable. Five stars on everything!

Outstanding Musicians who added an elegant touch!

My wife and I were married this past June, and we hired Wilmington Strings to play for both our ceremony and our cocktail hour. They not only played beautifully, but they were extremely flexible our playlist and with learning some of the songs we had requested. Especially considering that we had to make a few last minute changes to our song list, they didn't even bat an eye and were able to adjust easily! Lastly, they were extremely professional (especially given the unexpected heat wave that came). We cannot recommend them highly enough!!
