Nikki Sent on 11/04/2025Amazing violinist
We used Inspire with Strings for our Wedding Ceremony at the Vanderbilt Museum! AnnMarie was our violinist and she was nothing short of amazing. She was incredibly talented and made our ceremony so special. AnnMarie was also super helpful, kind, and generous. She was helpful with planning before hand and assisted us SO much day of with setting up a microphone we brought and playing music for our first dance (which we did during our ceremony) on her speakers. She is the exact type of person you would want to be there as a vendor for your wedding day and helped make our day a dream come true! -

AnnMarie was an amazing addition to our wedding and I am SO happy we booked Inspire With Strings for our ceremony music at The Piermont. We didn’t get to hear the hospitality music for guests on arrival because we were getting ready for the ceremony, but we had so many compliments that the music was beautiful. Guests were coming up to us at cocktail hour to say how amazing it sounded. I was able to hear the processional song and my song going down the aisle, and it was perfection. I definitely recommend using Annmarie for your ceremony!! She also learned specific songs for us and we specified more modern songs (our recessional was Post Malone) and it couldn't have sounded better. You won't regret booking her services! -

We worked with AnnMarie leading up to the wedding and she was always so nice and quick to respond! They played all of our songs perfectly during the ceremony and sounded absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for strings during your ceremony! -

Can I just say WOW! I love the show Bridgerton and knew in my heart I wanted strings to play when I walked down the aisle. AnnMarie from Inspire With Strings was amazing from start to finish! She even helped me pick my songs. I walked down the aisle to Vivaldi the Bridgerton version of Seasons and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The music truly took my ceremony to the next level. I highly recommend this phenomenal and talented group of musicians. -

Phenomenal is an understatement!
Inspire With Strings was a huge hit at our wedding! We had guest arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to have a drink, take in the view and make sure they didn’t stroll in during the actual ceremony. With that in mind, having a live musician (solo violinist) there kept everyone entertained while waiting. We were provided a repertoire when we contracted with them and were able to request some songs that were not on their list. They covered a spectrum of songs from classical to American classics to todays hits and AnnMarie was incredibly easy to work with. I unfortunately didn’t catch the first 30 minutes but guest raved about it! I second guessed myself, a lot, about there being just a soloist and not a duo, trio, quartet for fear of it not ‘being enough’ and I was so wrong for doing that to myself! I obviously caught the songs they played when I walked up and down the aisle and I felt like they really provided a romantic, personal, deeper touch you just don’t get with pre recorded music. If you’re considering using Inspire With Strings, don’t hesitate! -

We found them through a Wedding Group on Facebook and loved them the second we contacted them. They were so personable, kind, extremely prompt with response time, and very professional. They gave many song options with the perfect choices! Their music was the absolute perfect touch for our ceremony. The live string music was so beautiful and elegant for such a special moment in our lives. Our guests loved it!
Can’t recommend them enough! -

Incredible
Ann Marie and the rest of the group were absolutely fantastic. Not only did they meet my request of mostly Disney music, but they also were amazingly responsive and helpful with planning a very last minute ‘quarantine’ wedding. Can’t wait to use them again -

Inspire with Strings was amazing to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. They were professional and organized. AnnMarie was fast with her email and telephone responses - you would never know that she was planning her own wedding at the same time, it felt like ours took priority. They had an excellent choice of music and were open to learning more if we asked. We chose the Game of Thrones theme for my husband and his best man to walk in to, "Sweet Child of Mine" for our bridal party to walk down the aisle to, and the traditional march for me and my Dad. I think that each song brought our guests to tears in how beautifully they were played and how personal the ceremony felt. The quartet also stayed to play during our cocktail hour. They moved from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor cocktail hour seamlessly. It was a classy addition to our wedding and it made us so happy to work with a company we knew we could trust. -

WOW! The best live music vendor on the island.
IWS was recently a vendor at a philanthropic wedding event we planned. AnnMarie was SO easy to get in touch with- she was very accommodating. She asked us what kind of music we liked, and offered some ideas of her own. AnnMarie confirmed with us leading up to the event. The quartet was there early before call time, set up quickly, and were dressed very professionally. The quality of service was exceptional. IWS played classical, upbeat, ceremony music, and pop songs. They have an ever-growing library of music to choose from! AnnMarie worked well with our day of coordinator as well. IWS offers more than just a quartet - they can customize any type of ensemble for your event! And not just weddings!! Thank you so much IWS! Brides of Long Island enjoyed your gorgeous music. -

Highly recommend Inspire with Strings! They were so easy to work with and provided exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. It was so beautiful to walk down the aisle with a string trio, it provided just the right touch we were looking for. We received many compliments on the music. The only thing I had to do was make the music selections. Inspire with Strings got to the church early, set up and played while our guests were arriving. They also arranged with the church music director to accompany the organ, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend this company and they are affordable! -

Inspire With Strings was hired as the music entertainment for the cocktail hour portion of the fire department’s Installation and Awards program at the Huntington Crescent Club. The musicians were talented and very entertaining. The sound level was perfect. The music could be heard and enjoyed and allowed guests to still have conversations. I would highly recommend this group. -
