    Grace Notes String Ensemble is amazing!

    Dori and all members of Grace Notes Strings were amazing! We had Grace Notes Strings play music at our wedding and reception; they couldn't have helped more to make it a better day! Before the wedding day we put together a plan for both specific songs to play at specific moments throughout the day, and a general feel for types of songs to play for the rest of the day. They were very accommodating to make sure they were able to play specific song requests we really wanted. Everything they played throughout the wedding day was spectacular and made the day exactly what we were hoping for! We are so happy we had Grace Notes Strings at our wedding and reception and and would very highly recommend them for others!

    Highly recommend!!

    We decided to have live music for our ceremony and cocktail hour for our beachy wedding and Dori and George were absolutely wonderful! The violin and acoustic guitar combination was so beautiful! They were so easy to work with and played all our requests! We even had a chance to talk with Dori after the wedding and she was so nice! Book them!

    Great musicians

    We had Dori and her team (mix of string trio and piano) for 4 hours during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We gave them a long list of songs we love and they were able to accommodate all requests. We are so glad we hired them for our music and would recommend them to anyone! They did a wonderful job.

    Lovely Chamber Music!

    Grace Notes played lovely chamber music during our cocktail hour. Highly recommend, especially Sarah Layman!

    Violin & Guitar = Beautiful Beach Wedding Music!

    My husband and I made the last minute decision, while planning our Plan B Covid Wedding, to include a Violinist. I contacted Grace Note & Dori got in touch with me quickly. We connected on the very first phone call & started planning. She was incredibly accommodating considering the short notice. We decided on a duet of violin & guitar - incredible! Prices are very fair, song list is huge & will suit any style, and they coordinated so many other details to make our wedding day seamless! Everyone raved about the atmosphere the music brought to our ceremony & cocktail hour. Thank you for making our day feel (and sound) like a dream!!

    Great group - extremely talented (and fun)!

    My husband and I are blessed to have had Grace Notes play at our wedding! Dori was a pleasure to work with the whole way through, and everything was perfect! The song choice list that they already come knowing is unbelievable, and the fact that they ask you to choose some songs of your own to personalize your ceremony / cocktail hour adds the best touch! Our ceremony music was played beautifully (on a VERY windy and chilly day, outside) - and the cocktail hour music was PERFECT! They took what we had asked for, and totally nailed the style we were looking for. I would hire Dori and her group again, any day. They were so friendly, and our guests raved about them! If you want a dedicated, talented, and fun group to add an amazing touch to your special day - this is definitely the group to hire!

    Absolutely wonderful to deal with!

    I am a musically inept person so I was not at all sure how my vision of a light hearted beach wedding would work out in the musical sense. I never had to worry! Dori walked me through the process step by step and made sure I understood and was completely comfortable with the musical plan. Lyn, our harpist the day of, was amazing! The music was beautiful and she went above and beyond by helping with some sound issues we were having that were completely unrelated to the harp. I would absolutely recommend Grace Note 100 times over!

    We were so happy to have found Grace Note! Dori was a pleasure to work with and you could tell she loves what she does! She and the guitarist did a beautiful job with our song requests for the ceremony music. We have had so many compliments on the music. Thank you so much for being so wonderful to work with and for making our day so special!!

    We found Grace Note Strings on GigsMasters and fell in love with their music (they have many files there). Dori and team were extremely accommodating, We had to postpone our wedding and they worked with us, Our cocktail hour was marvelous thanks to their music which complimented the food. They played a song at my request when we walked into the room and even helped me with some last minute things there. I recommend them 100%.

    Dori did a beautiful job with the music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! She had great song suggestions and was very keen on learning our musical preferences. She met with us in person and over the phone multiple times in the months leading up to our wedding to answer all of our questions. She was very generous with her time, and we enjoyed working with her. We highly recommend!

    Dori by far was one of the easiest vendors to work with. I found her on Thumbtack and she was so responsive! Dori was quick to answer all of my questions and the song list is extensive but still flexible. We had a dream song in mind (Your Hand in Mine from Friday Night Lights movie) for my bridal processional and Grace Note Strings not only learned the arrangement but they absolutely nailed it at the wedding.

    We were so comfortable working together and I found Dori to be so incredibly sweet on the day of the wedding. I'd highly recommend them to any bride in the Philadelphia region!

    I highly recommend Grace Note music for your ceremony music. My husband and I chose a harp and violin duet, which was BEAUTIFUL. They are true professionals, and Dori was great to work with. I hired them only 2 weeks before my wedding, so I was quite stressed, but they worked quickly and efficiently to help me through the process of choosing songs for the processional, recessional, etc. Grace Note Music was EXCELLENT and I highly recommend them!!!

    Grace Note String played for our beach wedding ceremony. They did a terrific job and all our guests loved the music! Dori was very responsive and great to work with! She was able to recommend songs that would sound great on the instruments we were having. We absolutely loved the music that was played and we were so happy to have used Grace Note for our wedding day! Thank you Dori for all of your help!!! We hope to work with you again!!! If you want beautiful music, Dori will work with you to have the exact sound you want!

    We were thrilled with the service from Grace Note String Ensembles. From the beginning planning stages through the day of the wedding everything was great!! I was a little overwhelmed at first at the amount of songs available to pick throughout the ceremony. Dori was patient with me while I spent a while going back and forth making decisions, and did not try to rush me along. She was able to give an expert opinion when I had questions about what was appropriate for certain locations and even communicated with my officiant to make sure they were on the same page with cues and prompts. I was nervous about how I would feeling walking down the stairs to have everyone staring at me as I came into our ceremony, but as soon as I heard the musicians start the entrance song I chose for the bridal party it just totally relaxed me (and my father!) and we were calm and happy. They also played during our cocktail hour and did a great job. The volume level was perfect!

    Could not be more thrilled with everything (from planning, responsiveness, professionalism, music). I don't plan on ever getting married again lol but I will recommend to anyone who is looking for a consummate performer.

    Dori and the Grace Note team took so much time with us to plan the music selections. They had so many songs to choose from and were willing to completely customize their songs to our taste and wedding theme/atmosphere. Their talent added the perfect touch to the ceremony and cocktail hour. In fact, we did not want them to leave once the hour was up! They were so flexible and agreed to stay longer to "keep the party going." Mission accomplished! 5 stars all around!

    Absolutely wonderful and a fantastic vendor to work with!!!!!! Musicians with Grace Note String Ensembles played for our beach ceremony in Cape May and our guests gushed over how lovely and perfect the music was. They were so easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and amazingly organized when it came to finalizing the details and making suggestions. We highly recommend Grace Note! They were the perfect touch to the perfect day!

    I can't thank Dori enough! I have to first thank her for reading my email and having a feeling that my wedding was something special. She was so helpful. Her fantastic energy and flexibility made everything so easy. We had a combination of a violin, flute and acoustic guitar. It was beautiful! Before I walked down the aisle and the church doors were still closed and i couldn't see anyone, I could hear Grace Note playing the beautiful music Dori and I had compiled. At that moment I knew how special this day was. They always say that the soundtrack makes a movie. Dori and Grace Not String Ensembles was the perfect soundtrack to Brandon and my special day. Dori thank you so much, you were wonderful

    I was so happy that I found Grace Note Music only three weeks before my wedding. Ceremony music was something that had slipped my mind! Dori made choosing the ceremony music selections easy and stress free. The harpist they provided, Lynn, was wonderful. So many people commented after the ceremony how beautiful the harp was and how much it added to the ceremony. I would recommend Grade Note Strings to anyone who needs a musician in the future!

    The music was such a beautiful addition to our ceremony. Grace Notes even learned a new song at our request just for our ceremony. It was a great experience working with Dori. We were extremely pleased with their performance & professionalism.
