  Beautiful music for intimate wedding

  Canterbury Strings was a pleasure to work with. We booked them prior to changing our wedding into a family micro-wedding, and they were very accommodating with the change in plans and following social distancing guidelines. Kate is very responsive, gave excellent recommendations, and they have an extensive repertoire. Their music was beautiful and it made our intimate ceremony and family cocktail hour feel very special.

  Communicative and Helpful!

  Our contact was communicative via email, timely, and respected my requests. She was also very eager to recommend pieces that would suit what I was going for.
  
  Canterbury Strings' musical selection is vast and varied. We were happy to find many pieces we recognized and loved among their repertoire. My guests also had a fun time identifying the pieces they were playing.
  
  When things were running late, our musicians were very flexible. Thank you so much!

  November 2019 wedding

  I hired Canterbury strings for my Saturday night wedding to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Leading up to the wedding, it was easy to communicate with Kate and relay exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. The music was beautiful and made the wedding elegant, fun, and a great addition to the day!

  Loved working with them!

  I worked with Canterbury Strings for my October 2019 wedding and had a great experience! I had a family member write a special arrangement for our ceremony and they were so great about accommodating our request. They were always very prompt, professional and kind in all of our communication. And of course, their music was beautiful and they are all so talented! I would highly recommend working with them for your wedding!

  Beautiful Performance for Intimate Garden Ceremony

  We cannot say enough great things about the Canterbury Strings. From the beginning Kate was incredibly responsive and shared their repertoire and suggestions for our intimate garden ceremony. They arrived on time, were set up in a beautiful formation, and perfectly played the routine we decided on. Our ceremony was a bit non-traditional and we walked in (together) to "All You Need Is Love" and recessed to "Here Comes the Sun". They have a huge list of pieces they play, and we were drawn to the selection of Beatles love songs, and classics from the 60s and 70s. Their pricing was in line with other groups and we are extremely happy with their contribution to our important day.

  Kate and her colleagues were fantastic! Very easy to book, and they had great suggestions for the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The day of the wedding, everyone showed up on time, took their places, and played beautifully! I would recommend them to all of my friends!

  We worked with Kate to arrange a string trio to perform for our wedding ceremony in June. She was very responsive, organized, and very talented! We had a string trio play the prelude, processional, and recessional music for our ceremony and it was a lovely and romantic touch that really made it special. They are very flexible and have a wide repertoire of songs to choose from (if desired), or they can pick appropriate songs for you. I am so happy we had the string trio, who was very talented and professional - I only wish I could have heard more of their music (but, alas, as the bride, I missed most of the prelude!). Thanks, Kate!

  Kate and her fellow artists that make up the Canterbury Strings were nothing short of amazing! From the beginning, Kate was the best to communicate with! She responded so quickly and was able to accommodate my needs for my ceremony and cocktail hour music! She even wrote up sheet music for a specific song to accompany my cousin who sang during the ceremony.
  
  The music itself was so beautiful! Everyone loved it, and I received many compliments! Overall, I was so pleased with everything! The weather did not play out in our favor, but fortunately they were willing to do what they could to play music without damaging their instruments.
  
  I 100%, highly recommend! Thank you so much for making my ceremony and cocktail hour that much more beautiful!!!!

  Canterbury Strings performed for our wedding this month, and I have nothing but good things to say! From the first time I contacted Kate, she was very responsive, professional, and easy to work with. At the wedding, the musicians were professional and the music was so very beautiful. We loved the large repertoire they had, and we've received many compliments about their presence at our event. They really helped make our day perfect.

  Kate was very responsive and flexible. We had to change the wedding venue location a month before the wedding and Kate was very flexible with the change. The music selection was wonderful and trio played beautifully. They helped make my wedding and cocktail hour special.

  Canterbury Strings played as a string trio as our ceremony and cocktail hour musicians. Kate was responsive during the planning process and assisted in song selection when we couldn't make decisions. Canterbury Strings provided sophistication to our wedding ceremony with string versions of more modern songs. We're very happy we hired them & definitely recommend them to others!

  We booked a string trio for our ceremony and they were amazing! Our guests loved the music. We worked with Kate to figure out some of the songs and she was able to arrange sheet music for a song that I wanted to use for the bridal processional. Everything sounded so beautiful. They have a big repertoire and are able to play a lot of current songs as well. Definitely book Canterbury Strings!!

  Highly recommend Canterbury Strings - they are excellent musicians, great to work with, and extremely professional. Kate was was super helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding - she was always responsive, answered many of our questions (some not even related to ceremony music), offered advice, and she and her colleagues learned several songs we specifically requested. It really did make a huge difference having live music during the ceremony, both to the guests and to us as the couple getting married. They were very reasonably priced as well. You can't ask for better.

  Canterbury Strings did a great job for our ceremony and cocktail hour music and I couldn't be more happy. The guests loved the all modern songs played on the strings. Their set list is great and Kate was able to find the sheet music for a request we had that was not on their list, no problem. I thought they offered a great value and they sounded amazing. Thank You!

  Canterbury Strings were professional and responsive from the start. Beginning with several email exchanges, and they even helped to recommend songs. They were great and an excellent touch to our ceremony.
