Beautiful music for our ceremony
We loved working with Penn Strings! They were very professional and the music was perfect for our ceremony. We loved that we could choose the music, ask for recommendations, and in some parts of the ceremony we chose to let the musicians decide what music to play. We think they did a great job with everything, and we would highly recommend!We loved working with Penn Strings! They were very professional and the music was perfect for our ceremony.

Beautiful music and easy to work with
We had a great experience hiring Penn Strings to play during our pre-ceremony refreshments and cocktail hour. The guest commented on how beautiful the music was. Susanne was super responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.We had a great experience hiring Penn Strings to play during our pre-ceremony refreshments and cocktail hour.

Beyond What I Imagined!
Thank you, THANK YOU for making our wedding day one to remember. The entire booking process was super simple (shout out to the coordinator of Penn Strings, who responded to every email in a timely fashion) and to the artists who came together to make such beautiful music on a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. I had requested "Turning Page" from the Twilight movie as the song I would walk down the aisle to, and no exaggeration, I felt like I was in the movie at that moment in time as I made my way towards my husband. My ultimate dream came true in that moment and I had Penn Strings there to make it all possible. My only regret is that I was not able to attend my own cocktail hour to hear the phenomenal SCOTT BESSER play the piano, which I had wanted for our wedding. I heard great things and am so happy that everyone enjoyed. Thank you again!!!!Thank you, THANK YOU for making our wedding day one to remember.

Outdoor Late Summer Farm Wedding
Penn Strings was awesome to work with from start to finish. We had them play for about 3 hours, including ceremony and then cocktail hour(s). Susanne was a joy to work with throughout the planning stages, from our initial questions to selecting specific pieces of music. We live in a different time zone from PA, so her excellent responsiveness over email made our lives super easy and we greatly appreciate it. The music on the day was lovely, as were the musicians.

Beautiful Music and Wonderful People!
We hired Penn Strings for our May 2020 wedding, which turned into June 2021 church ceremony and May 2022 wedding wedding! Susanne was wonderful through it all! They were so accommodating and helpful. And the music was just beautiful. They can play everything—from classical to pop tunes. They even learned a song for me to walk down the aisle to. If you're considering hiring them for your ceremony or cocktail hour, don't hesitate! They were amazing. :)We hired Penn Strings for our May 2020 wedding, which turned into June 2021 church ceremony and May 2022 wedding wedding! Susanne was wonderful through it all!

Oh, Maria, thanks so much for this! My smiles are a bit ' broader' for all the couples who had to make so many changes and were finally able to do their day... or days as you say! I know trio totally bringing the live music to you day. Thanks for choosing us! -

Made my ceremony so special!
Penn Strings made my ceremony so beautiful with their music and their talent! To quote one of my guests "it sounded like there was a full orchestra in the Church- amazing!" They were easy to work with and accommodating with our song selection and working with the Organist at the Church. I highly recommend booking them if you are looking to add an incredible touch to your ceremony!Penn Strings made my ceremony so beautiful with their music and their talent!

Wonderful Musicians and So Easy to Work With!
We hired a string duet from Penn Strings to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They sounded fabulous, even in the outdoor setting where our wedding took place, and had a great set list of contemporary covers that gave our garden wedding a real Bridgerton vibe :).
Leading up to the big day, Susanne coordinated all of the logistics, and she was such a pleasure to work with. I honestly looked forward to her emails because she was so kind and encouraging as we entered the final stressful days of wedding planning. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend working with Penn Strings to any other couple looking to add some class and elegance to their wedding day.We hired a string duet from Penn Strings to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

Beyond Words!
What do I recommend about Penn Strings?! Absolutely EVERYTHING! My husband and I got married in October, and choose the string trio for our wedding day to play both our ceremony, as well as cocktail hour. Initially, my husband was the one who suggested Penn Strings as the first vendor choice after we got engaged last year. He had been to a wedding previously where he had the pleasure of first seeing and hearing them perform. After only one soundclip from their website, it was an absolute YES from myself as well! As a former violin player, I have an absolute love and appreciation for both classic and contemporary string music. And let me tell you, they know their music. We were absolutely blown away by the variety of songs in both categories that they are able to play for your special day! We were first introduced to Susanne, who wound up also being our incredible officiant besides. She was so thorough and informative through the process, and made the seemingly overwhelming decision of choosing music for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, a very easy and smooth process. Even offering up suggestions for appropriate songs that we would otherwise know nothing about. Chris and the ladies made our wedding day absolutely magical with their beautiful music! I had always dreamed of walking down the aisle to Pachelbel, and they made that the most beautiful reality that I could have ever imagined. They were so beyond friendly, accomodating, professional and talented. Our guests truly enjoyed every second of them playing, and could not stop complimenting on their performance. By choosing Penn Strings, and this beautiful live performance, our wedding day was transformed into some of the most magical moments of our life. I will never forget that walk down the aisle! They offer extremely affordable packages for every type of occasion, and song lists that will fit every single persons taste of music. We could not be more grateful to Susanne, Chris, and Penn Strings for making out wedding day the best day ever! And for making the whole process of planning everything such a smooth ride! Thank you again for everything!

Mesmerizing
Penn Strings (Chris and Agnieszka) performed for our summer microwedding as a string duo at Promise Ridge. The music made our day all the more magical and dreamy--totally elevated our intimiate ceremony and reception. Our playlist was extensive and covered contemporary and classical songs. We were all blown away at the talent and professionalism. So glad they were available to perform for our day--wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Go book them! :-) My husband arranged everything with Susanne who was our main point of contact throughout the booking/inquiry process and says she was a joy to work with.

Oh Nikki, thanks so much for all of this. So wonderful to hear... as of course, this is always our hope (and intention). And everything seems magical at Promise Ridge! The joy was mutual from start to musical finish. Wishing you and Alan all the best! -

Gorgeous ceremony addition!
THANK YOU to the Penn Strings team! We had a cello and violin duet for our 8/5 wedding, and the entire experience was gorgeous. Susanne was a joy to plan with and her insight was invaluable. We ran a bit late before our ceremony, and I was so thankful that these amazing professionals were so flexible and able to keep our guests entertained. I think it really elevated our ceremony experience, and I couldn't recommend them enough!THANK YOU to the Penn Strings team!

Beautiful string music, surprisingly versatile, incredibly professional
Penn Strings is a talented group of professionals that we were delighted to have play at our ceremony. Working with Penn Strings was very easy, even though we only finalized our music selections in the final weeks before our wedding. Our only regret was not taking the time to work with them sooner because despite the incredible list of songs to choose from (traditional, country, modern, video-game inspired, etc.!), they will even work with you on custom music if the time allows. But finding music we both enjoyed from the library of songs available wasn't difficult - There was much to choose from and we were able to create a unique playlist. We would highly recommend Penn Strings if you are looking for a versatile, professional, and talented string musician or group for your wedding or event!Penn Strings is a talented group of professionals that we were delighted to have play at our ceremony.

Perfect!!!
We could not have asked for a better start to our big day than the beautiful music played at our church ceremony by Stephani Bell (violin) and Franklin Nino (cello). The musicians were incredibly talented and their beautiful performance set the perfect tone for the evening. Working with Penn Strings was an absolute pleasure. Susanne (Wilson) was incredibly organized and helped us navigate the musicians' expansive repertoire to create exactly the right ambiance for our wedding.

Ceremony Music
As a former violinist and strings enthusiast, I knew I needed some form a strings for my ceremony. Penn Strings fell into my lap. They have a great selection in their repertoire and I loved the option to have something arranged for you, which I took them up on. I decided to have a string trio for the ceremony and they provided the right sense of class and fun. It was great to provide this for our guests and hear them comment on the music.As a former violinist and strings enthusiast, I knew I needed some form a strings for my ceremony.

I cannot say enough about Penn Strings. Susanne Wilson was a dream to work with. This group was professional from our first inquiry to the last song. We chose a string quartet to play during the ceremony & the cocktail hour.
Their playlist was extensive and it covered all genres of music-classical, Broadway tunes, Ethnic songs, contemporary songs, and much more. The choices were phenomenal.
Chris Sousa, the lead violinist was fabulous as were the other musicians. I could not have been more pleased with Penn Strings.I cannot say enough about Penn Strings.

This was by far a wonderful experience. We will forever remember the music at our daughters wedding and all our guests were so touched by the contemporary sounds coming from three accomplished musicians! Susanne and Chris were wonderful to work with! With another wedding in our household next year, I will most definitely be calling to set up another appointment and get the music going for wedding 32!
Thanks again one and all!

My daughter had a Catholic Church wedding ceremony. Fortunately for us, our pastor allowed contemporary music to be played before and after the ceremony. The selections available from Penn String's playlist were absolutely wonderful, and there were many to choose from. My daughter was late getting to the church. However, we were told by all of the guests in church that day, that they were so entertained and impressed by the string music that they did not want it to end. I was told that the music played by Chris and Aggie was so enjoyable that many of the guests were brought to tears. One guest told us that the music has left an everlasting impression on her and she will never forget our wedding because of it. When we arrived at the church and I heard the music, believe me when I say, it was better than we ever could have hoped for. And yes, it truly made a lasting impression on us!!! I am so happy that we had Penn Strings play such an important part in my daughter's wedding day.

I used penn strings for my wedding at the stroudsmoor country inn this last august (2015). Stroudsmoor Country inn refered us to penn strings. I used a violin/chello duo. They did an amazing job. The music sounded beautiful. They have a great/updated playlist to work with or are willing to learn new songs too!
Susanne Wilson who does their bookings was a pleasure to work with. She is also an officiant for journeys of the heart. We used her as our officiant too, and there are not enough nice words to say about her. I would definitely recommend penn strings. They are affordable/professional/talented.I used penn strings for my wedding at the stroudsmoor country inn this last august (2015). Stroudsmoor Country inn refered us to penn strings. I used a violin/chello duo. They did an amazing job. The music sounded beautiful. They have a great/updated playlist to work with or are willing to learn new songs too!
Susanne Wilson who does their bookings was a pleasure to work with. She is also an officiant for journeys of the heart. We used her as our officiant too, and there are not enough nice words to say about her. I would definitely recommend penn strings. They are affordable/professional/talented. -

We hired a string trio (guitar, violin, and cello) from Penn Strings to do our summer outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour music, and we absolutely loved them. The whole planning process was super easy and Susanne was communicative and helpful. The music was absolutely beautiful. We had requested a special arrangement of Storybook Love, the theme from the Princess Bride, for the bride's processional and I (the bride) had pretty high standards about how I wanted it to sound and man, did they deliver--- they nailed it. It was a BEAUTIFUL arrangement. I have been listening to it over and over again via our wedding video and just their music brings happy tears to my eyes. We also received many compliments from the wedding guests on their beautiful playing. Our wedding was out in the woods and the beautiful string trio music was a great addition to the atmosphere.
In a nutshell, I highly, highly recommend them!We hired a string trio (guitar, violin, and cello) from Penn Strings to do our summer outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour music, and we absolutely loved them.

The Penn Strings musicians are beyond talented. A trio played before and during my ceremony, and also during the cocktail hour at my reception. What's so special about Penn Strings is that they play both classical and current music beautifully. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and they set such a lovely tone for my ceremony and cocktail hour.The Penn Strings musicians are beyond talented.

My husband and I hired Penn Strings to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on May 9th at Mountain Springs Lake Resort. They truly made our wedding day that much more special. Working with Susanne was a pleasure. We so appreciated the great email communication and customer service throughout our planning process. Having Mike and Aggie there to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour was a beautiful touch and was complimented on by so many of our guests. They were absolutely wonderful! Not only were they extremely talented and beautiful musicians, but their sound completely filled the outdoor area in which they played. It was very cool to be able to choose a mix of classical and contemporary music and made for a fun surprise for our guests. Thank you again for everything. You guys were absolutely wonderful to work with!My husband and I hired Penn Strings to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on May 9th at Mountain Springs Lake Resort.
