Bridgerton Vibes!

Nicole and the quartet were such an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony! They did a custom song for our walk down the aisle and it was perfect. It was our wedding song and we both cried when I heard how beautifully they played it. Our only regret is not booking them for cocktail hour as well. They played as guests arrived and everyone said they felt like they were on the set of Bridgerton! Such a wide range of song choices in their catalog and it was so fun picking out the songs our guest would hear. Nicole was fanatic in the communication department and we had everything squared away long before our wedding which was so nice to not scramble the last week of with emails. We requested an all female quartet and the delivered that effortlessly!
10/10! Thank you and the quartet so much!

lovely cello + piano ceremony music

We had the "contrast duo" (piano and cello) at our wedding on 9/15/19, and it was lovely! We left it as "musician's choice" for 30 minutes of pre-ceremony music, and I thought the choices were beautiful. The extensive song selection also made it easy to choose processional and recessional pieces that were special to us. Nicole was easy to work with & very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing company and set of musicians!

We hired the string trio to play at our wedding and they were outstanding. Nicole allowed me to meet with her before the wedding so that I could share my thoughts and we could figure out what songs were going to be played at what times. I gave her my timeline and she easily figured out some options that would appeal to my husband and I for when everyone walked down the aisle. Nicole is very experienced and had a ton of helpful advice on helping plan our ceremony. She is reasonably priced and did a fantastic job at our wedding. It was definitely something to remember and all our guests enjoyed it very much! Highly recommend booking her and her company!

i Worked with Nichole and two other members of her team. They were very polite, affordable, responsive, and played excellent music. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for music for an event

Absolutely beautiful

My favorite part of my wedding, I cannot even begin to tell you how beautiful they sounded. As soon as I heard them playing my requested song, I was emotional. They were AMAZING.

So worth it!

They were amazing!! We were looking for someone very last minute and they were able to come play at our outdoor ceremony and it sounded so good!! Awesome communication before hand as well, very helpful in choosing songs, etc. Also, very easy to work with. I had so much going on and wasn’t replying right away to emails and they were patient and made it come together beautifully. So happy to have made the decision to hire Arcobelano Strings!

Just book them!

My wife and I were planning our wedding on a crunched timeline. A month before our big day, she mentioned needing to put together a Pandora playlist, and I suddenly had a violent and unexpected allergic reaction to the mere thought of recorded music. I found Arcobaleno Strings that evening. Nicole is super responsive and walked me through everything she needed to pull off a truly masterful performance. I was relieved not to have to worry about music on top of everything else -- clearly, they're experienced at dealing with first-timers who don't know what they're doing! The music was just breathtaking. Even though I only had a couple pieces in mind for the ceremony, Arcobaleno has a huge repertoire and can tailor their performance based on the mood and theme you're going for. I can't recommend them highly enough and kinda want to plan another event just so I can book them again (fellow introverts will understand just how strong of a statement that is). If you're reading this, do yourself a favor: book them now and stop stressing. They're a dream to work with and will add an unforgettable level of polish to your wedding.

Arcobaleno Strings

We opted for the String Quartet for the wedding prelim, processional, recessional and 90 minute cocktail reception. The group played both selected songs and genres, as well as musician selected pieces creating a perfect ambiance for a lifetime of memories.

Lovely music!

I hired a violin/cello duo to provide the music for the ceremony. I met with Nicole several weeks before the wedding to set up a guideline for the songs played before, during, and after the ceremony, and she kindly played a few examples for me. I was only able to hear a couple of songs myself, but my guests told me they really enjoyed the music. I would recommend these musicians to anyone looking for ceremony music in Tacoma!

Nicole was a great vendor to work with for our ceremony music. She was super responsive and gave good feedback on how to run a ceremony smoothly. They had a really large song selection from classics, to jazz, to modern/pop, etc. We wanted a strings rendition of modern/pop songs and it turned out AWESOME. The group was in great communication leading up to the wedding date and was able to perform on the day of without a hitch.

I cannot say enough positive things about Nicole Williams and Acrobaleno Strings. They were so flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. We had 2 ceremonies both Persian and Western and they learned the music for both - they completely nailed it and the music was simply beautiful! Having a quartet and live music really does add something special to the wedding and when you work with such talented and nice people like Nicole and her team, it's so easy! They were so patient with me. They even sent me recordings/snippets of the Persian music beforehand because we were very nervous about how it would sound on a violin. They put us at ease and for that we are so grateful. Thank you so so much!

Nicole Williams, the cellist for Arcobaleno Strings, performed for my wedding this October. She is absolutely AMAZING!! She was so professional and responsive! I asked her to learn a couple songs to play for our ceremony and accompany my siblings who sang and played guitar. It went absolutely flawless!! Beautiful in every way!! She was one of the reasons our ceremony was so beautiful! I would definitely recommend Nicole and the rest of Arcobaleno Strings! Thank you Nicole!! 'Today' will forever be one of my favorites thanks to you!

Arcobaleno Strings provided music for our small, outdoor wedding. From the beginning, they were responsive, professional, accommodating and ultimately provided absolutely beautiful background music throughout the ceremony. Their music added a perfect touch to a special day. If you can book them, I suggest you do so!

We had Arcobaleno Strings play at my daughter's wedding last weekend and it was simply magical. Nicole is very easy to work with and even played a Cello / Piano Duet with one of the bridesmaids as my daughter walked down the aisle. Very emotional. They have a large repertoire to choose from and even learned a new one for us... The entire experience made it quite a classy affair and one to remember. I highly recommend Nicole and Arcobeleno Strings!!

Nicole has an incredible team of musicians. Our musicians (Gretchen & Janet) arrived early, came prepared, and worked very well with our VOWS planner.. They are unique in their skill for helping you to identify a musical style preference and narrowing the song choices to match. And if you want someone to play cool tunes at your wedding reception - Arcobaleno Strings did an amazing job playing Mad World by Tears for Fears. Such at talented group of musicians and I highly recommend them.

We hired a string trio for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From my initial email inquiry through to the entire event, Nicole was professional and responsive, and their music was beautiful. They are highly skilled musicians, and also clearly experienced in performing at weddings and assisting in the planning of music. For a small fee, they learned a new song for our ceremony. Their playing was top-notch and working with them prior to the event was easy. They were so helpful in making suggestions, including sending us a list of songs they can play that are appropriate for different parts of the ceremony and cocktail hour. I would recommend them very highly!

Nicole and her group Arcobaleno strings were exactly what we wanted for our ceremony music. Nicole was very responsive via email (also always offering a phone call for convenience) making it easy to coordinate. They had a thorough repertoire of music and we found beautiful selections for our ceremony. My dad admitted to me afterward that he couldn't hold back his tears once he heard Pachelbel's Canon prior to walking me down the aisle. I would highly recommend Nicole and her team!

Nicole was very responsive to emails and offered a wide range of music selections. She even invited us to her studio so we could have a better idea of how it would sound - and, of course, she and her team's performance was amazing and flawless on our big day.
If you are looking for string music at your wedding, definitely choose Arcobaleno Strings!

Arcobaleno Strings provided beautiful string music for our wedding ceremony and reception. Nicole met with me before the wedding to discuss the type of songs that we would like and the general itinerary of music for the day. She was very organized and provided us with useful advice regarding timing, song selection, order of music, etc. Nicole was also kind enough to attend our rehearsal so that my husband and I could practice our "first dance". On the day Nicole and her team played beautifully throughout the ceremony and reception. Despite an unexpected bout of rain they were able to adjust quickly and continue playing. Many of our guests commented on how lovely their music was and how much it contributed to our wedding. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Nicole accompanied the church pianist at my ceremony. She played beautifully! Her price is very reasonable and she collaborated with the pianist to play the songs that I requested. Everything was totally seamless.

Beforehand, she was also very helpful. When I was trying to decide what instruments to select, she recommended working with church pianist instead of trying to push me to hire other musicians from her company. I really appreciate her honesty. Also, she gave me recommendations for selecting what songs to play, which saved me because I had no idea what to pick!!

We hired Nicole Williams from Arcobaleno Strings to provide solo cello music before and during our ceremony, during our cocktail hour, and during our reception meal. She was exceptional. Not only is she an incredibly gifted musician, she is a delightful person and we enjoyed working with her enormously. She was professional, knowledgeable, absolutely clear with the contract and music selections, punctual, and has a huge repertoire of music. We couldn't be happier with her performance day-of, and wouldn't hesitate to hire her or her colleagues in Arcobaleno Strings for any event in the future. Highly recommend!

Nicole and Gwendolyn we're absolutely wonderful! They played for our guests arrival, ceremony and cocktail hour and we received so many compliments from everyone. Not only did they create a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding, but Nicole was unbelievably helpful for months leading up to the big day. We had a lot of questions and she was always very responsive and helpful each time we reached out :). Highly recommended!

It was such a pleasure to work with Nicole and her team!
Nicole has been really helpful and responsive throughout the process. She spent the time to listen to what we want for the wedding and provided lots of good recommendations. Because we planned our wedding remotely and wasn't able to meet with Nicole in person. She listed out all the song recommendations by timeline and put brief descriptions next to each of them. It made the preparation process super easy for us. Nicole and her team plays such a wide variety of songs and we were able to have all the songs we like during the wedding. The music was beautiful and I loved loved it.
Thank you Nicole and your team for all of your help to our wedding.

We are very glad we engaged Nicole Williams and the Arcobaleno Strings to perform at our son’s wedding. They providing just the elegant touch to the ceremony that we hoped for. Their selection of music for the guests’ arrival was perfect and they performed our choice of the tradition Bridal Chorus and Wedding March admirably. Our only regret was that as parents of the groom, we had to listen from a distance until it was our turn to walk in!

We had our wedding in Tacoma and we were trying to find a trio that is around the area and that is also affordable. Everybody else was very expensive. Arcobaleno Strings gave us more than what we wanted. Their prices are very reasonable. Their performance is AMAZING.

Nicole was extremely helpful. She was very responsive through emails, calls. I had a special request for the ceremony entrance to play a specific music that they didn't have in their repertoire. Nicole was able to find music notes for that specific music (Marche pour la ceremonie des turcs) and she didn't charge me for that.

I visited her at her place. We went through the music sheet and she explained to me what is the best trio combination we could do. We picked 2 violins and 1 cello. I was picky about how I want the music to be progressed and Nicole was very kind to walk me through the music flow and time it with the ceremony event. she was extremely cooperative. she played the music to give me an idea of how it's going to be like and believe me it was magical!

On the day of the wedding, they came on time and took their spot and played beautifully. Everyone loved their music. I was really impressed with the quality and performance of Arcobaleno Strings. If I had any future event and needed string quartet, I will definitely hire them.

The music Arcobaleno Strings provided was beautiful and set a romantic tone for the wedding. But more impressive was Nichole's commitment to working with me. I admitted I know next to nothing about music, so she not only emailed me multiple suggestions and song lists, but she also arranged a private consultation without charge. She gave her suggestions for music, and also gave me tips for the ceremony itself. She was so dedicated to making my ceremony perfect. I strongly recommend Arcobaleno Strings.

Arcobaleno Strings was absolutely AWESOME!!!! From the moment I first contacted Nicole Williams, she was extremely responsive, thorough, and helpful. She worked with me to create a custom music program for our Jewish wedding and was always incredibly prompt. On the day of the wedding, her group was timely, very professional, and they played absolutely beautifully (we had a string trio). The music literally brought my partner and I, and our guests, to tears! My only wish is that we could have hung out around the musicians longer to listen to them more! They created the perfect atmosphere we were hoping for. (Note that they also provide their own amplification and will use it if necessary based on the space and venue). I couldn't recommend Arcobaleno Strings highly enough--they are simply spectacular!

I hired Nicole and Arcobaleno Strings to play a string trio during my wedding ceremony. They were easy to work with, very professional, and provided beautiful music for my wedding ceremony. I didn't even meet them in person before the big day, but Nicole made me comfortable enough with her email communications to trust them without needing to meet. I would definitely recommend hiring them for your event. I can't wait to get my wedding video back to listen to their songs!

Nicole Williams played her Cello during our wedding reception and did such a wonderful job! Booking her through Arcobaleno Strings based on my needs was so easy. I told them what I was looking for, and they placed me with the right person. I was even able to pick out traditional Jewish music, which all of my Husband's guests really enjoyed. Nicole was dressed professionally and played beautifully. I would recommend her to play in anyone of my friends weddings!!

We hired Nicole Williams, cellist and manager of Arcobaleno Strings, to play for our daughter’s wedding and cocktail hour before the reception started. Our daughter and her fiancé met with Nicole prior to the wedding to choose their favorite music for the occasion. Nicole was able to help the couple decide which pieces meant the most to them. As a result, the ceremony was so elegant and sophisticated! I highly recommend Arcobaleno Strings and would love to hire them again! Thank you Nicole!

Nicole of Arcobaleno Strings played beautiful cello music at our wedding, creating the most elegant and classy ambience. She was extremely helpful in guiding us on song choice, giving us great suggestions for the prelude, processional and recessional. Perfect in every way, highly recommend!!

The ceremony music was perfect. We had an outdoor wedding that needed that extra touch. They were also very flexible as our timing of the procession and such were thrown off a bit. Then we had a social hour where they played a selection of music from classical to jazz to ragtime.

In addition the entire process of working with them was seamless. They were very responsive by email and allowed us to be as involved as we wanted to in the planning of the details (meaning I selected a few things and was able to leave the rest up to them.)
As an amateur musician (12 years of piano), I can confidently say the music was execellent!!

I try not to give perfect ratings, because no one is perfect, but Nicole helped me out quite a bit and didn't get upset when I accidently stood her up! (If you're reading this, I'm still feel bad about that, lol). I didn't get to hear too much of the music, but from where I was sitting they played beautifully. I don't think I would have been able to pick the right music without her either. My theme was kind of odd, dark romance Victorian era style music. Things worked out well and everyone really liked particular music we picked for people to walk down the aisle to. There was a tiny hiccup when I was suppose to walk out, but I had to come out late and you couldn't even tell from the way they played that there was an issue. I know they have lists of songs on their websites of things they can play. But for those who are having themed or some other form of non-traditional weddings/events, please ask Nicole for her suggestions. She has a good ear!

They helped me wade through the piles of music options to select the perfect pieces. On the day of the wedding, they sounded perfect. The volume was great, the quality was beautiful and the echos of those beautiful sounds serenaded me for days after. They are truly wonderful musicians.

Nicole and her trio maintained excellent communication throughout the whole planning process. They offered help and opinions whenever we needed. Their music quality was excellent, but most importantly when the plans were adjusted they remained flexible to make it work. I highly recommend!

Nicole Williams was not only professional, responsive, and a great person, she and her colleagues helped make our wedding so very special, to us but to ours family and friends as well. Our guests loved the music they played. We are so thankful that they could play such beautiful classical music, and especially that they picked up where the Lodge technology failed on us for the recessional. Arcobaleno Strings Trio led by Nicole Williams was simply sophisticated, elegant. Nicole not only made sure to help me find the right music, she also made sure to touch bases with us throughout the months leading to the wedding. I wholeheartedly recommend Arcobaleno Strings (we had the trio of piano, violin and cello) to any bride who'd like to have beautiful classical music grace their ceremony and reception with a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Arcobaleno Strings played at my wedding and ceremony. The music was amazing!! All of my friends and relatives commented about how lovely the music was at the wedding. Nicole was so easy to work with. I had no idea what type of music I wanted so during our meeting she played samples of various songs for me so I could choose. She helped me pick out a good variety of music and made everything so smooth. I would recommend Arcobaleno Strings to any bride that is looking for the perfect music for their perfect wedding!!!

Arcobaleno Strings did an amazing job at our wedding! You can tell they are really experienced musicians who've played enough weddings to know what songs work best for the ceremony, and how to make the songs fit the length of the procession, etc. Loved them!

Nicole and company of Archobaleno String did a MAGNIFICENT job providing the perfect ceremony musical pairing for our big day at a very reasonable price. Nicole walked us through the whole process up front and helped us make selection that would be meaningful and compliment our ceremony. Nicole was flexible when our ceremony time changed and was very responsive via email and phone when we had questions or required clarification or guidance.

I would recommend Archobaleno Strings wholeheartedly!

The Arcobaleno Strings were amazing. I had the trio of 2 vilolinist and a cello player. It was nice that they sent me a list of the traditional wedding songs that I wanted and sent samples so I could choose which ones I wanted. I also had a request for a song. They were more than happy to play the song. All night long I heard from everyone how beautiful the sound of the ceremony music was. I wish I would have hired them for the dinner hour also. I would recommend Arcobaleno Strings to anyone.

Nicole and her team of musicians at Arcobaleno are a must for a wedding! Our wedding was outdoors at Rock Creek Gardens in Puyallup and this brought the whole atmosphere for our ceremony together. Nicole was also great in assisting us with song choices, timing, and any other details we might not have considered.
