Yury's string trio performed with elegance and artistry at my NYC wedding. My wife, our families, and I are big opera fans, and Yury recommended and curated perfect arrangements from Verdi, Wagner, and others throughout the experience, including selections from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and "Meditation" from Thais for our processional and recessionals. Yury was a consistently responsive, provided guidance and recommendations on our music selections, and streamlined our planning experience!

Sophia was amazing and added such a beautiful touch to the day. The music during the ceremony and cocktail hour created the perfect atmosphere, and our guests kept talking about how unique and elegant it was. She was so kind, organized, and easy to communicate with the entire process. Everything went smoothly, and we’re so happy we chose to include live harp music in our wedding!

Alexandra was great to work with from planning to performing at our wedding! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We hired a trio to perform for 2 hours including our ceremony. We only selected 3 songs for our ceremony and then the trio had free rein. All of our guests raved about the selection they played and didn’t want the set to end! Our guests are still talking about the music and how they enjoyed guessing the songs being played. Thank you for providing beautiful entertainment at our wedding!

Marie performed at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She plays the violin and piano keyboard and is very talented. She has been consistent in communication with me since I found her online. She was responsive, professional and caring. She made suggestions what to add and I appreciated her suggestions and incorporated them. The music was so beautiful I was overwhelmed with emotion. She is incredibly talented and has fair rates. I couldn’t be happier to have her play on my wedding day! I highly recommend her!

There aren't enough words to share how amazing Stellar Strings were, but I'll sure try. From the moment I reached out to them 18 months prior to our wedding, Natallia was super responsive and understood our vision completely. The group has an amazing repertoire that they already know proficiently, but they're always willing to learn new arrangements/pieces to make your special day exactly that: yours. Leading up to our wedding, we worked with Natallia on our songs and vision, and she was instrumental in guiding us - finding the right time for the quartet to fade in and out, sharing suggestions on at what time in the song to begin processional, etc. Because they do this so often, that guidance was so critical to us, who had our own idea of things, but weren't sure if it'd land or not. We also received amazing feedback from our guests on the music - both ceremony and cocktail hour - which Stellar Strings provided. They played amazing music in the background and all of our guests commented on how it was the right balance of songs, and at the perfect volume for conversation to take place, without having to shout. A special thanks to Stellar Strings for making our New Year's Eve wedding SO memorable!

We booked James Teal for our November 2025 wedding and he was so amazing! All the guests loved the vibes he brought. He was able to play romantic classic songs along with fun r&b, pop and reggaeton. Very professional and super talented. Definitely one of the highlights of the day. 

Randy and Topu were fantastic to work with and did an amazing job performing during our ceremony and cocktail hour! They are talented musicians and have an extensive repertoire, including Bossanova, which my husband really appreciated (he's Brazilian). We just loved the cello + guitar combo. They created the perfect vibe for us - romantic, elegant, and modern. We highly recommend Randy and Topu!

We hired Carmit Violin for my son’s wedding, and her performance was truly amazing. She was elegantly dressed, professional, and arrived right on time, which gave us complete peace of mind. Her music created a beautiful atmosphere and she did a wonderful job entertaining our guests and family throughout the event. Everything was handled with a five-star attitude and care. I highly recommend her for any special occasion. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable. — Yusuf Waseem

weddingwire.com Mikhail was absolutely wonderful at my wedding. Arrived on time with his mom who was playing the violin. What a gift they both have. It was so magical wouldn’t have changed a thing. I would recommend him to anyone that is having an event

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica years ago through my job at Lincoln Center, before I even met my husband. When I got engaged, there was no doubt that I'd hire her and her musicians to play at my ceremony. She is professional and kind, just a joy to work with. The talent of ensemble is unbelievable and they were the perfect touch to my wedding ceremony. The Venus Ensembles repertoire is vast and people raved about the music. I didn't get to really hear much until our DVD came in, since we missed the cocktail hour, where the group continued to play until our DJ took over. I am so pleased that I got to have this group perform, they took the pop songs that I loved, and a TV theme show song, and played them seamlessly. I think live music makes a ceremony much more personal and I cried when I saw my bridal party walking down the aisle on the DVD to my favorite song, that she had the team learn, as it wasn't in their song list. Truly made my day.
