Jimmy P. Sent on 06/10/2023Loved working with Fretless!
Stephanie played violin at our wedding ceremony and was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was easy to keep in touch with, a brilliant violinist and even took the time to learn some additional songs for our ceremony. We can’t thank you enough for making everything so seamless!Fretless Music's reply:
You are so kind, Jimmy. Thank you for the honor of playing for your ceremony and for the opportunity to learn new music. Congratulations and best wishes! -

Just before COVID hit, we booked Fretless Music as a trio for our wedding dinner party. Once the pandemic became a thing, Stephanie was more than accommodating of our need to shift our event. In the end, it turned into an anniversary dinner instead of a wedding event, but it was WORTH THE WAIT. The musicians all arrived early, were eager to be part of making the night better, and then performed flawlessly! We were even in a very intimate room and the music neither dominated conversation nor went unheard.
The groups list of available songs covers a wide array of interests and their willingness to learn new pieces based on our requests was also very helpful. My wife and I had very unknown music that was important to the development of our relationship that the group learned and perfected for us and our guests to enjoy right as dinner was served. It provided an unexpected, but perfect, opportunity to share the significance with our closest friends and family and we owe that moment to Fretless Music.
In the days following the event, we continue to hear from our guests how amazing the night was and frequently with direct compliments to the musicians. We will be keeping this group in mind for future events and would heartily recommend them to anyone who will listen. We genuinely could not be happier with Fretless Music and our decision to trust them to help complete our evening. -

If strings are a part of your wedding vision, you should absolutely not look beyond fretless. Stephanie was amazing, thoughtful, and incredibly prepared day of. Communication was a non issue, both with us and our day of coordinators. We asked for a custom song - love on top by beyonce- and the performance was straight out of an episode of Bridgerton. Not sure how they get all of that talent to fit on a couple of armless chairs, but somehow they make it work ;). the Fretless team absolutely leveled up the ceremony and opening reception adding a classy and sophisticated vibe that could only be delivered by the one and only Fretless team. Do yourself a favor - spend your money here instead of on things like overpriced flowers. The Fretless experience is one our guests still talk about.. no one remembers that our flower arrangements were mostly inexpensive greeneryFretless Music's reply:
We are THRILLED to know how much you and your guests enjoyed our music, Jess! I loved working with you two and we so enjoyed learning Love on Top. Plus, you had such a fabulous wedding team that we also adored working with. Thank you for your encouraging feedback and for including us in such a special day!!! -

We could not be happier that we decided to use Fretless Strings at our wedding! Stephanie was incredible to work with and was so responsive to all of our questions, requests, and overall vision for our wedding day. The string quartet truly made our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour so special and many of our guests commented on how talented they were. I have been asked on several occasions since our wedding for their contact information for guests who now would also like to book Fretless Strings for their own weddings! We can’t thank Stephanie and the musicians of Fretless Strings enough for creating the most magical wedding day for us!Fretless Music's reply:
And we couldn't be happier working with you or playing for you and your guests, Katie! It means so much to know that everyone enjoyed our music and that we made the whole process easy during a difficult time. We're incredibly grateful for your trust and wish you two the very best! -

Fretless Music is amazing! Stephanie is so responsive and easy to work with. We had a wedding during COVID and she was extremely understanding and flexible. We booked Fretless Music for ceremony and cocktail hour. It was so easy to plan out ceremony and cocktail songs with forms Stephanie uses. They have endless songs to choose from that range from classical, rock, pop, folk, jazz, and world. We received many compliments during our wedding on ceremony and cocktail hour music and guest absolutely loved Stephanie! We definitely recommend Fretless Music to anyone needing to add music to any event!Fretless Music's reply:
I'm thrilled to know how happy you were with everything, Linda! Your wedding was such a joy to play for and I loved the mix of music you picked for me to play. Thank you for your trust and congratulations again! -

We hired Stephanie via the recommendation of our wedding planner. She played violin at our intimate ceremony. We live streamed the wedding so immediately following the end of our ceremony, we cut the cake and then did our first dance so that our viewers could watch. Stephanie masterfully played during the entire experience!
We had several special song requests for the 30 mins ahead of our ceremony. It was mostly movie music and fun theme songs that would make our families smile while they waited (5,000 candles in the wind anyone?!) and Stephanie did it all with a smile. She was gracious, excited, easy to work with, and a fantastic communicator. Having her play was an absolute dream. We are forever grateful. Worth.Every.Penny.Fretless Music's reply:
Tara, you are too kind. You chose such a fun and unique list of music for me to learn and play PLUS it was so special to play for your first dance. Thank you for your trust and for including me in so many parts of your day. Congratulations! -

Colleen D. Sent on 08/06/2021The best decision
When my husband proposed, he had a violinist appear out of nowhere to perform as he got down on one knee. When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted string instruments during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Choosing Fretless and working with Stephanie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process. Stephanie is one of the kindest vendors I have ever worked with and she was totally understanding and flexible when we decided to reschedule our Big Day due to COVID. We received many compliments about the music from our guests and we felt it added a personal touch that was unique to us, because we could hand-select all of the music that was played. Not to mention it really elevated the atmosphere for an outdoor wedding! I would recommend Fretless for ANY special occasion, without hesitation!Fretless Music's reply:
Thank you so much for YOUR kindness, Colleen. It meant so much to work with you through the pandemic and see your big day finally happen!!! Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations again! -

Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and understanding (Corona Bride here!) She was thoughtful throughout all our communication as was more than happy to accommodate us when we had to downsize our wedding. I'm so glad we decided to still have a string duo - it made the day so special and they are also sooo talented!! Our party of 8 raved about them all weekend!Fretless Music's reply:
Yasmin, you were such a pleasure to work with as well! We're so happy we could still find a way to play a part in your beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour despite the changes we all had to make. Thank you for your trust! -

Planning our wedding this summer was hectic and we are so grateful for how flexible Stephanie was. My now husband and I were forced to change our special day's date twice and even move venues. Stephanie was unbelievably understanding and worked with us throughout it all. While planning she was so helpful in creating our perfect playlist and on the day, the music was absolutely beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend Fretless! -

We wanted our wedding to be super formal, but still fun and not stuffy. Fretless Strings was the perfect addition to accomplish that. The classical sound of the string instruments paired with pop and rock songs was a huge hit. It didn’t take our guests long to realize they weren’t playing your usual classic music and they loved it.
Working with them was so easy. Stephanie was incredibly nice and responsive, and booking with them was so quick and easy. They really made our day something very special and unique and we couldn’t be happier. The only challenging part is being the bride or groom and trying to enjoy it fully and still talk with all your guests. I hope I have a chance to attend someone else’s wedding where Fretless Strings is playing!Fretless Music's reply:
You were such a joy to work with, Kate. Thank you for including us in your beautifully crafted wedding. Take care and best wishes! -

Working with Fretless Music was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! I am not a sentimental or overly romantic person, but - even for me - words can't describe how special it was to have live string music walking down the aisle. Fretless played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and just about every guest complimented how wonderful their music was. It really established the atmosphere. We had Fretless play mostly contemporary music with a sprinkling of classical, and everything they played was delightful. They also adjusted the pace of my processional to the appropriate speed for the moment (Sweet Child 'O Mine - which is so beautiful on strings). They did a fantastic job with everything and I can't imagine my wedding any other way. For any bride wondering if you should splurge on a string ensemble - my recommendation would be yes, absolutely yes - and I can't recommend Fretless Music enough. Even my husband (who was quite frugal during the wedding planning process) said this was the best money we spent on our wedding.
Stephanie was so terrific to work with every step of the way. She is quick to respond, proactive and so full of warmth. I think they perform just about every weekend and you would never know it working with Stephanie, because she was so attentive our needs and on top of check-ins and timelines. It felt like we were their only client. They have a wide breadth of music in their repertoire and can accommodate any taste and setting. I truly can't recommend them enough!!
