    Artistrings is truly the best

    My partner grew up playing the violin, he played for 8+ years throughout gradeschool, including in a quartet, and classical still has a soft spot in his heart.

    When we learned that Artistrings existed, we were overjoyed at the idea of having classical renditions of pop music play on our big day. Having a string quartet not only made us feel as though our day was appropriately formal and sophisticated, but having that quartet play the music we chose (heavy t-swift) we knew would be fun. That moment when you're like "wait...is that... omg yes it is!" is all we wanted. And we got it via Artistrings and more.

    Everyone we interacted with made us feel so special and heard. They were as passionate about our day as we were. Every interaction felt like we were talking with friends, and yet still had the professionalism and attention to detail you can only dream of./

    Planning with them was so easy, but so very thoughtful. The questionnaire was very detailed, and thankfully one of the few vendor forms that successfully autosaved as we worked on it over multiple days ha. Their attention to detail in confirming where and how things would be setup, and their familiarity with our venue and where we might need extra speakers was so great.

    On the big day, we didn't even have to think about anything and it all went so perfectly. We couldn't have dreamed for a better experience for us, nor our guests. We got so many compliments! Overall definitely can't recommend them enough!

    Perfect for ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner

    We worked with Artistrings for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and could not have been more impressed. We had the string quartet for the ceremony, and their rendition of Drops of Jupiter for my processional was beautiful. The Jazz trio created a lively atmosphere during our dinner that kept the energy high until it was time to dance. Highly recommend!!

    Absolutely Perfect

    We hired Artistrings to perform for our guests as they entered the Grand Ballroom for our Wedding Ceremony, to perform during our Wedding Ceremony (as the Wedding Party was entering/exiting the ballroom), and to perform during our Cocktail Hour. We ended up hiring a DJ for our Reception, but we still wanted some sort of "Live Music" aspect, and we absolutely hit the jackpot. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The quality of sound was second to none, and the songs we chose to walk down the aisle to were performed beautifully. I would easily recommend this group to anyone who inquired about hiring a string quartet to play in part in some facet of their Wedding Day.

    Artistrings's reply:

    Thank you so much for including us in your beautiful celebration, Tommy & Christy! Your music choices were so much fun, we loved every second :-)

    Above and beyond service!

    The string quartet from Artistrings added another level of magic to our ceremony. Not only did they perform an original classical arrangement as well as a set of Bollywood arrangements they already had on hand, the cellist also improvised throughout our ceremony alongside the chanting of the priest. So many people commented on how much the music really pulled the whole ceremony together - it really made for a truly magical experience for our guests. Would happily go with Artistrings for any other event music needs!

    Fantastic wedding string quartet

    We loved our experience working with Artistrings! They were very responsive and helpful throughout the selection process, offered us plenty of different combinations to choose from, and also have a massive song catalog to work off which lets you customize the vibes you're looking for! Carol and Chris are extremely kind and thoughtful people, super easy to work with, and the quartet sounded incredible at our wedding! We were thrilled with how it worked out. We highly recommend working with Artistrings if you want to add some wonderful live music to your event!

    Exceptional Professionalism Through-and-Through

    Artist Strings is the epitome of exceptional professionalism. From our first virtual meeting through the post-event follow-up, working with them has been an extraordinary experience. Throughout the wedding process, there are so many details large and small to juggle, and knowing we could trust them to handle their responsibilities so completely was an enormous source of comfort freeing us to focus on other things. Our only issue is now that the wedding is over, we need to quickly find the next event worthy of such wonderful entertainment to work with them again. To Chris, Carol, and all the excellent musicians-Thank you for making our special day so full of entertainment, life, and joy. We appreciate you all!

    Unforgettable and Beautiful Live Music at Our Wedding

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with Artistrings through Sarlas for our wedding in Chicago in May 2023. They were super responsive, professional and easy to work with. We booked a string trio and pianist for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our ceremony location had a grand piano already in the space that could not be moved so we knew we wanted to incorporate it somehow. I fell in love with a gorgeous piece of classical music by Franz Liszt called Liebestraum (Love Dream) and knew this was the perfect song to walk down the aisle to meet my husband. I still remember the swell of emotion and excitement once I heard the Artistrings musicians playing this piece I had dreamed about for so long. From my layman perspective, it seemed like a complicated piece, but Artistrings played it with seamless skill and artistrty. It was one of my favorite parts of the day. They also played some of our contemporary choices beautifully (e.g., This Must Be The Place by Talking Heads). Artistrings was an absolute joy to work with and we would certainly recommend them for anyone searching for live musicians for their wedding day.

    Thank You Artistrings!

    Artistrings went above and beyond during their performance at our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. I had my heart set on a unique processional song, which the musicians happily learned and performed beautifully. We received many compliments on the variety of songs played during the cocktail reception. Throughout the process their team was responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend booking them for your wedding!

    Wonderful sound & beautiful music

    Airstrings is absolutely spectacular! We had them play at the ceremony and again at the reception. The music is beautiful and really made our ceremony special. Everyone at cockatiels was talking about how much they enjoyed the music in the background. They were PERFECT!

    Romantic Processional of my dreams

    Artistrings created a romantic ambiance during our wedding ceremony. I asked if they could play "Only One" by Yellowcard for my bridal march (which is not on their repertoire list), and they agreed without hesitation. I walked down the aisle to an amazing string quartet playing the end of that anthem. Although we missed cocktail hour to take photographs, our family and friends raved about the string quartet. Music has always been important to us and they were definitely worth the money.

    Artistrings's reply:

    Thank you Kristin! That Yellowcard tune is now proudly in our repertoire, we're so happy with the way it framed your entrance. It was such a pleasure to work with you!

    Superior Strings!❤

    We hired Artiststrings to play before and during my daughter's wedding ceremony and for the entire happy hour. A week later and I'm STILL hearing from family and friends on how they were blown AWAY by this group of world class professional and incredibly talented musicians!! I worked closely with both Chris and Carol on coming up with the song choices (their repertoire includes EVERYTHING from classic standards, Bach to the Beatles as well as contemporary hits of today. Personal choices of mine included rock hits by Rush, Led Zepplin and the Who...omg you HAVE to hear it to believe it, along with Game of Thrones theme song and more!) and they were EXTREMELY helpful with ideas and advice.
    Artiststrings took my daughter's wedding to the next level and beyond. Loved their customer service and commitment to excellence. I TOTALLY recommend this group for ANY Party or gathering requiring music!!!
    As a musician myself, the right music was paramount for this event. Artiststrings DELIVERED !

    Artistrings's reply:

    Thank you Ellena! We enjoyed playing your song requests SO much! It was such a great party, and we also loved how the venue was able to tie our sound system in with the house system so we were heard throughout the entire space for a truly immersive experience. Thank you so much for choosing us!!

    Artistrings was amazing! We loved having them play at our wedding.

    Artistrings provided music for our wedding reception. We had the string quartet play for 4 hours and could not have been any happier. The music they played was beautiful and all of our guests loved them. They were also extremely easy to work with and we were able to choose all of the songs that were played. They have a very extensive repertoire list!

    Artistrings's reply:

    Thanks so much Nikki! You chose such great music, we had a blast playing it all for you and your guests. Our most sincere congratulations to you and David!!

    Extraordinary

    Artstrings made our wedding ceremony soar with extraordinary beauty and meaning. Their music created a sacred sphere for us to become married. It touched our hearts, it moved us and connected us with our guests in love and joy. Working with Carol was a pleasure and we are so grateful to her for making our ceremony so incredible and flawless. If you are looking for a gorgeous music, delighted guests and elevated ceremony, you've found it with Artstrings.

    Artistrings's reply:

    Thank you Lynn! We love that you chose each song for us to play for your wedding ceremony, because they all had special meaning for you. Those are truly our favorite celebrations, and we were beyond honored to celebrate with you!

    Beautiful music

    Carol and her team were absolutely amazing and helped make our special day that much more special. At the outset, they made an concerted effort to get to know me and the vibe we were looking for, offered helpful suggestions along the way and produced absolutely beautiful music that elevated the overall experience of our wedding. Can't recommend Artistrings enough - thank you so much!!!

    Artistrings's reply:

    Catherine, you had the most idyllic garden ceremony and we were absolutely thrilled to provide the music for your micro wedding. Many, many congratulations!!!

    Movie magic

    We knew we wanted a string quartet at our wedding because we fell in love over classical music. Specifically film scores. After talking with Carol and Chris, and reading the hundreds and hundreds of songs on the Artistrings repertoire, it was an easy decision. Over the next few months, we built a list of what we wanted to hear before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and at our cocktail hour. The Artistrings website is filled with samples, so you can hear for yourself! They even learned two new songs that mean a lot to us (Erica has wanted to walk down the aisle to the theme from "Father of the Bride" since she was 4 years old). Talk about happy tears. As we walked up the aisle as husband and wife, the theme from "Indiana Jones" played. It was incredible, and something our guests are still talking about. Thank you, Artistrings, for making our wedding day so special!
    From, Erica and Conan

    Wonderful!

    I've worked with Artstrings on other events (I'm a Wedding Planner), but this event they shone their brightest. Chris and Carol worked with the groom and I to pull off a huge surprise for the bride in having them play. They were so intentional about every email they sent and even climbed through a few bushes on the wedding day to avoid being seen during photos.

    The result? A very surprised and happy bride and insanely gorgeous ceremony and cocktail hour music.

    Highly recommend!

    Artistrings's reply:

    Always such a pleasure to work with you, Alexis! That was such a fun surprise to pull off, and the bride's smile as she walked down the aisle was the absolute BEST. Our hearts are full, and it's all because of your vision. Many, many thanks!!

    Amazing string duo

    Artistrings is AMAZING. Chris and Carol (the owners) were so great from the beginning. I loved discussing my vision with them! Carol and Matthew were the string duo for my ceremony and cocktail hour. I was able to request the songs I wanted (that weren't already in their library) and it was perfect and exactly what I wanted!! I cannot wait to get my wedding video to listen to them play during the ceremony!! You won't regret working with them!

    Artistrings's reply:

    It was such a pleasure to work with you, Amber! We absolutely loved your choice of 10,000 Hours for your dramatic backlit entrance, and we had so much fun creating this for you!! Wishing you and Brian all the very best!!

    Elegant and Fun Quartet

    We had the pleasure of the Artistrings quartet providing the music at our small, intimate (55 guest) brunch wedding reception this fall. The music was fantastic and Carol was a great emcee. They easily moved between our outdoor and indoor space and were an elegant and fun addition to our reception. Not only is Artistrings extremely talented, but working with them was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the wedding planning process. Chris and Carol are friendly and accessible and seem to truly take a lot of joy in helping to make your event perfect. Their catalog of music is wide-ranging and impressive, and they learned new pieces to incorporate some of our favorite songs into the program. They had wonderful suggestions and understood the ambiance we wanted to create at our reception. We and our guests loved their performance, and they were a huge part of making our wedding so special. I highly recommend Artistrings for your event.

    Thank you, Marianne! We had the BEST time playing for your brunch celebration, and absolutely love the way you and Peter planned things out. It suited the two of you perfectly. Thanks so much for choosing us to celebrate with you!

    Artistrings was perfect!

    The quartet sounded great! We got compliments from many guests. Also, it was so cool that they transcribe two songs for us as part of their package. The two songs we asked for sounded really good. I would hire Artistrings again in a heartbeat!

    Artistrings's reply:

    Thank you Sarah! We loved adding those tunes for you, especially "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea." You had the most perfect summer day in the garden, and we wish you and Kevin all the very best!

    It was an honor to play for your wedding day, Samantha! We loved helping you choose music, and I think we came up with a beautiful backdrop for your outdoor ceremony. All our best to you!
