    Cannot recommend enough!

    We were thrilled to have Charleston Entertainment play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They not only did a phenomenal job, but they were incredibly professional, and you could tell that they wanted our day to go as smoothly as possible. Ahead of the wedding, everyone we communicated with was helpful and efficient with responses; they made the whole process so seamless and easy. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Everyone was more than I could have asked for! They all were absolutely fantastic, especially Bill (officiant) because he chatted with my fiancé for about 20 minutes while he stood in front of the crowd waiting on my arrival. Bill made the ceremony personal and concise per our request and the strings played every song we chose perfectly. The strings choices for seating music were amazing as well. I highly recommend!

    They added so much to our special day!

    All I can say is WOW! I am SO glad we went with Charleston Entertainment for our wedding back in June. Andrew was beyond friendly and helpful from day one, and on the day of, they were prompt, prepared, and amazing! We went with the violin/cello duo and they played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music selection was wonderful and made the planning easier. Their talent added so much beauty to our day and I can't thank them enough!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their special day even more special!!!

    The most beautiful string duet

    Andrew and the musicians from Charleston Entertainment were absolutely the star of our wedding! We hired the string duo, and my family and friends are still gushing over the theme from Star Wars that they played as I walked down the aisle. Their arrangement was so beautiful that it was all anybody could talk about. I would highly recommend them to any couple, especially one who wants to put their own spin on their ceremony.

    We enjoyed your creative selections too, Anabel, and are always happy to receive such a glowing review. Thank you, and congratulations again. Your ceremony really set the mood, and Micah and I very much enjoyed taking part. ;)

    Wonderful experience with a professional group

    I can't speak highly enough about Charleston Entertainment. I had a rehearsal dinner in Charleston, but I was in Pittsburgh, PA. Andrew helped with all the details of the music. He listened to what I was wanting to create and made suggestions about how to use music to enhance my vision. He made available examples of his music so I could be assured of the quality. The day of the event, he and his assistant arrived on time and provided wonderful background music for our event. He remembered a "special" song my son and I had shared and he made sure it was played at key moments during the event. If anyone needs a quality music experience for an upcoming event, this is the group you want. Excellent quality and affordable for most budgets.

    Beautiful Music!

    Andrew was awesome to work with. He was very responsive with questions and made sure we had everything lined up for song choices well in advance. I am still getting compliments on the music - it was perfect - including a flawless transition to recorded accompaniment when my aunt sang. Everyone enjoyed the non-traditional string music prior to the wedding and the selections played during the ceremony were beautiful.
    They also helped me to find a DJ. DJ Devon was great to work with too and kept everyone on the dance floor all afternoon (brunch wedding). He played a great selection and stayed true to our music preferences.
    I would highly recommend both Andrew and DJ Devon without reservation for your next event.

    Music By Ethos's reply:

    Thank you Susan. You, too, were a pleasure to work with. What an incredible view from the Indigo Rooftop at Wild Dunes too. Your aunt's rendition of Ave Maria was fantastic, as well. Speaking for our string duo and DJ Devon, we all very much enjoyed being part of your celebration, and Congratulations once more! - Andrew

    10/10 recommend

    Andrew did a fantastic job performing for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They truly elevated the wedding and we’re fantastic to work with through the whole process. My sister used them 11 years ago for her wedding, so we knew they would do a great job but they exceeded our expectations and I’m so happy we had the opportunity to work together! 10/10 recommend using them!

    Beautiful Performance

    Charleston entertainment performed beautifully for our wedding ceremony at Lowndes grove. The 4 string quartet was exactly what we wanted and they did a fantastic job! They are easy to work with, and we highly recommend their services.

    Professional, on time, diverse, high quality

    Could not have been happier with how everything went with our wedding. Andrew was easy to work with and helped us navigate the website and fill out the form for what songs we wanted and when. Every song option has an audio file so you can hear what to expect when it is played on the string instruments. We asked that they learn a song 20 days before our wedding and they were able to accommodate it flawlessly. Jenny and Cameron were a hit and I received a lot of compliments all night about the songs. Great group! Would recommend to anyone for any occasion.

    Awesome team of musicians!

    We had a string duo play our ceremony music and cocktail hour and it was the perfect addition to our wedding! They were so accommodating and learned Kanye West’s “All of The Lights” for us! Their selection of songs they can play is extensive and all encompassing. They have such a wide range including current pop songs. Their website is so easy to use and has a list of all their songs where you can play samples of each. The whole process was very straightforward. I loved having live music for our ceremony and I felt it really livened up the cocktail hour. They were so easy to work with and communicated very quickly. I would highly recommend Classical Charleston for any event!

    Amazing musicians!

    Hiring Charleston Entertainment to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was a fantastic decision! Andrew was a delight to work with and so professional. I was able to request a Vance Joy song not in their repertoire for my walk down the aisle and it was absolutely perfect! We received so many compliments on the music selection and how their performance truly added to the magic of the day. It ended up sprinkling in the middle of our ceremony, so the band had to run for cover to protect their instruments, but they still managed to complete our recessional song from under our reception tent. If you’re looking for classical musicians for your wedding or function, I highly recommend Charleston Entertainment!

    Put our ceremony over the top!!

    We loved our strings duet! They played a beautiful range of pop and classic rock songs on the strings. I walked down the aisle to Sweet Child of Mine! This was something so fun and unexpected, but subtle, a detail that our guests really loved. Highly recommend for your ceremony music and audio needs!

    10/10 would recommend

    Not only did the string duo we booked play beautiful music flawlessly for our ceremony & learn Neil Young’s ‘Harvest Moon’ for my walk down the aisle, they also adapted seamlessly to a last-minute change in venue. I got married 3.21 - in a small backyard ceremony rather than the larger event I’d planned downtown (thanks COVID19) - & even though a ton of things fell apart that week, being able to count on Classical Charleston to still supply the music during our intimate ceremony was so special. ❤️

    I highly recommend Classical Charleston!

    Classical Charleston was so lovely to work with. They had a great selection of songs to choose from, including more modern ones! They also were able to learn a new piece and worked with my bridesmaid who sung the song as they accompanied her. They were incredibly easy to work with, flexible with our requests, and helped to make our big day a success! I highly recommend Classical Charleston, you won’t be disappointed!

    This was a destination wedding for me and I reserved vendors based on reviews. If I were to do it all over again, I would pick Classical Charleston again in a heartbeat. They were easy to work with and the music was such a hit at my wedding. These guys were complete professionals that needed little to no direction. They entertained guests and kept the feel of the wedding both classy and beautiful. I had always dreamed of walking down the aisle to a string version of "1,000 years" and it was even better than I had hoped! If you are looking for a string duo, trio or anything else it would be a mistake to go with anyone else.

    Beautiful, talented, amazing! I cannot say enough things about Andrew and his musicians. They made our ceremony special and made our wedding intimate and special for our guests.

    Beautiful music. They learned new songs for us to walk down the aisle to. They were very professional and their talents are extraordinary. Pick Classical Charleston for your ceremony music, you won't be disappointed. Andrew is great to work with and he does everything he can to make your day perfect.

    Soon after I got engaged, I attended one of the Charleston bridal expos and heard the sweet sounds of Classical Charleston. I have wanted string musicians at my wedding since I was a little girl, and as soon as I heard Andrew and the guys play Air by Bach, I started crying in front of hundreds of people at the expo! I knew then I just HAD to have them play at my wedding. They absolutely lived up to my expectations and their talent is truly moving. Andrew is very quick to answer any questions you might have and is very professional to work with. Thank you Andrew and Tomas!

    I had a violin and cello string duo play the ceremony music at my July 2nd wedding, and it was absolutely beautiful. The music was beyond amazing, and the string duo version of The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" is perfect! After months of email communication, Andrew really came through to help make my wedding ceremony truly a moment to remember! :-)

    Perfect Choice for Ceremony Music!

    Andrew and Jenny were the perfect choice for our outdoor wedding in Charleston. They were very easy to work with, performed beautifully on the day, and added that extra layer of emotion to our celebration. Couldn’t recommend them more!

    Best Wedding Jams!

    Absolutely wonderful!! We had a string trio and DJ Jon Fiest for our wedding on 12/02/23 and we can not begin to say enough wonderful things about them. We received an abundance of compliments from both guests and other vendors on the quality of music and entertainment. They accepted special requests for a ceremony song that meant a lot to my husband and I and Jon kept guests having an amazing time on the dance floor! Book them!! You will not regret it!

    Music By Ethos's reply:

    Wide Awake has been one of our favorite venues for years, and our String Trio + DJ Jon all had a blast performing for you all. Thank you for taking the time to review us, Madison and congratulations!!
