    Beautiful addition to our wedding

    Sue and her team were a joy to work with for our September 2023 wedding. We had a strings trio play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they put together a wonderful playlist and were so professional before and during the wedding. We cannot thank them enough. I only wish I could have paused the wedding so I could just listen to them play!

    The best decision we ever made!

    Sue and her team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She helped us select the music for our ceremony from their vast repertoire, and even learned one song that had a lot of sentimental value for our family. She was incredibly responsive and we were very grateful that she agreed to accommodate us with such short notice. Bella Musica String Ensemble transformed our event from a small ceremony to an elevated and classic affair. They helped to set the mood and integrated so well into our very intimate event - they wholly captured our vision and delivered beyond our greatest expectations. Thank you so much Sue and all - we will forever be grateful for you being a part of our most special day.

    Magical and romantic

    When I say my wedding was perfect, it really was. Sue understood what I was asking for and my vision and she made it come to life. My ceremony and cocktail hour was perfect. Beautiful and romantic!

    Bellisima!

    For a personal and meaningful musical touch to your event, choose Bella Musica String Ensembles! Working with Sue and her group was such a breeze. Sue’s prompt responses to my questions even during a busy holiday season helped put my mind at ease for this one aspect of our wedding planning. In addition to their extensive song repertoire, they were even willing to learn a new song (our song) for an extra special touch to our special day. Shout out to Sue, Barbara, Alyssa, and Laurie! You ladies added a beautiful musical touch to our wedding! Many thanks, Anna and Josh

    10/10 experience

    I have always wanted a cellist at our wedding. Looking through wedding wire we found Sue from Bella Strings and I can tell you she made our cocktail hour so special. Her group was fantastic, they were SO easy to work with, they sent song lists and took requests. Sue made the coordinating easy because she didn’t need tons of answers to questions. She just did what she does best. It took a lot of stress off the planning for me and I am so grateful.

    Sue and her group were great, they were very easy to work with. We had so many compliments from our guests. It was the perfect music and setup for the outdoor wedding and cocktail hour. We absolutely loved it.

    Ceremony and cocktail hour

    I booked this group for my ceremony and cocktail hour. They were nothing but absolutely amazing, punctual, and professional. I have received so many compliments from my guests regarding the ambience that was set with the violinists. 10/10 service and affordable. Would HIGHLY recommend.

    Blew me away!

    I cannot recommend Sue and Bella Musica String Ensembles enough. Sue was incredibly responsive and made all my music dreams come true from start to finish. I am very picky when it comes to music and I had very specific requests (including a song not in their standard repertoire for my walk down the aisle, and a song I wanted to enter into the reception with) and they executed everything perfectly. Sue also worked so well with my organist and I did not even have to worry a bit about integrating the two performances. The end result was truly wonderful. A musician guest of mine approached me after and raved about the music, and another friend texted that she felt like she was in the TV show "Bridgerton." Bella Musica was definitely a highlight in a day of highlights.

    Bella Musica String Ensembles is a must have at your wedding!

    Bella Musica String Ensembles brought the utmost romance, love, and class to our wedding. I have always dreamed of the soft music of a string quartet at our wedding ceremony and couldn't have dreamed of anything better. We worked with Sue who was absolutely incredible. Not only was she responsive, which helped decrease some wedding frustration but was she friendly and enthusiastic. Sue had sent us the list of songs but was beyond open and willing to learn a new song for our wedding ceremony. Despite having some unfortunate weather issues, which required us to move our ceremony indoors, they quickly set up and were prepared. Our guests raved over the beautiful the music was and the songs we chose. Overall, Barbara, Suse, Janet, and Ross were amazing and I recommend them to anyone who wants to add a touch of elegance to their big day.

    They brought the magic

    I mustve heard the word 'fairy-tale' or 'magical' to describe the ceremony a couple dozen times. Thats all thanks to these fine musicians. They responded very quickly, were flexible with their seating, learned a new song in less than a month, and played beautifully. You can have a dj come and play violin music out of some speakers, but isn't she worth the real thing? They're very reasonably priced for the value they add. We had them for an hour and it wouldn't have been the same without them.

    Absolutely amazing!

    I can't say enough how glad I am that I booked Bella Musica for my wedding! They were such a magical, special touch to the ceremony and cocktail hour. Sue couldn't have been nicer and was such a pleasure to coordinate everything with. They even went out of their way to learn a song that we really wanted for our recessional and it turned out great. Don't hesitate to book with them, you won't be disappointed!

    Wedding ceremony music - truly outstanding!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Sue & her team. We had a violin and cello duo play our wedding (Sue being one of the musicians) and from the initial communication to the day of the event, we received first class, stellar service from Bella Musica. Sue spoke with me over the phone several times to make sure songs were selected to match our taste and made sure to review all logistics and details with us prior to the event. She even came for our rehearsal as a courtesy to coordinate with our officiant on timing for the music. Our guests complimented the beautiful ceremony music and it really made our outdoor ceremony feel magical! We were on the fence about live ceremony music for budget reasons, but once we found Bella Musica, we knew it would be a great choice. Thank you Sue & Team for making our wedding day so special! Would highly recommend!!!

    Perfect Music at our Perfect Wedding.

    We wanted to add class and elegance to our wedding. Luckily we found Bella Musica!! Sue and the quartet were professional, played beautifully, and made the day so fabulous. Sue is professional but warm, friendly, personal and so accommodating, she was excited to be involved and worked closely with me to ensure everything went as I wanted it to go. She is responsive, the price is extremely reasonable, and I would recommend them to everyone that wants style, class and elegance added to any event. We will have them play at our 1st anniversary and any other event I can think of to have them play for us again. We are not a young couple, so we know what matters and we wanted something of quality and style added to our wedding. The quartet framed our day beautifully, from the wedding, through cocktail hour and dinner. Fabulous! Our guests cannot stop talking about it. We hope anyone considering a quartet, chose Bella Musica. You can trust they will provide top quality service and an experience not provided by any other type of music/vendor. My advise? Book Them!!

    Unforgettable Wedding Thanks To Bella Musica

    Bella Musica String Ensembles was incredible! They made our wedding day truly magical at Brookside Country Club! Sue was very accommodating and responsive. She worked patiently with us, even when we had to postpone our wedding three times due to covid. She was also very helpful in guiding us through the song selection process, which helped put our minds at ease. Her and her team even accommodated our last minute request to play I Can See Clearly Now, which went perfectly with our wedding hashtag. I distinctly remember walking down the aisle and hearing the beautiful strings - it was an unforgettable moment. You will not regret hiring Bella Musica for your wedding or event - we absolutely loved them!!

    Excellent Cellist, Highly Recommended

    So glad we decided to hire a cellist, and who better than Bella Musica. Ms. Sue helped us through the process, providing perfect suggestions to give our special day that classy touch. Our guests still comment about Crystal's excellent cello performance and how it made our day that much more special. They offer a wide variety of packages and services, with many different songs to choose from and at very accessible prices, so definitely give Bella Musica String Ensembles a try, you won't regret it!

    Absolutely Fantastic!

    It was an honor and an absolute pleasure to work with Sue and the ladies of Bella Musica String Ensembles for our wedding! Out of all of the vendors that we worked with, Sue was by far the most responsive. I honestly can't say enough about their flexibility - especially during these unprecedented times. At the last minute, we ended up having to change our location and requested that playing time be extended through cocktail hour - both requests Sue was more than understanding and willing to accommodate.

    Even though we ended up with a small backyard wedding because of COVID-19, having Bella Musica added such a nice touch! There was a wide variety of songs from which we were able to choose, and each and every song that they performed was absolutely lovely.

    Overall, we could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. I highly recommend that you consider working with Sue and the ladies from Bella Musica String Ensembles for your wedding or any event where having a string ensemble would be appropriate. I promise you will not be disappointed!

    Brilliantly talented, highly professional and yet warm, compassionate and down to earth. Attentive to every detail.

    We could not have been happier with Sue and Barbara. In our case; they played the piano and violin, respectively. Their expertise was invaluable. We wanted classical pieces, but not so commonly traditional. They were eager to listen and helped us to find music that stirred us emotionally and fit our ceremony style. They were very punctual and worked with our pastor regarding each detail of the service. Their performance was perfection and just lovely from beginning to end. Sue and Barbara played a huge part in making our wedding ceremony incredibly memorable and exactly the way we had envisioned it to be.

    Fantastic Experience

    I decided at the last minute to engage Bella Musica and Sue could not have been more accommodating. Our guests all commented on how nice it was to have them as they were arriving and during the cocktail hour. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a lovely trio of strings! Thanks to Bella Musica for making my daughters wedding so memorable !
