    Beautiful music for our wedding ceremony

    We hired a live string trio with Seaside Strings to play during our wedding ceremony. They did an excellent job - the music turned out beautifully and they played the pieces (and even the versions) that we requested.
    Chris coordinated with us beforehand via email to make sure he knew what our song selections were. They arrived early with plenty of time before the ceremony to set up, and played right on queue with exactly what we wanted. Very beautiful music and it added a lot to the ceremony.

    Seaside Strings's reply:

    Thank you Leslie for hiring us to perform at your beautiful ceremony. Congrats to you both and your family. Cheers!

    Beautiful Music

    Chris Seaside Strings added so much class and beauty to our daughter's small wedding ceremony overlooking the beach. They played so well and we received many compliments from our guests. Would definitely hire them again!

    Seaside Strings's reply:

    Thank you very much for hiring us to perform at your daughter's wedding. You and your husband were a joy to meet and work with through the entire wedding process. Congrats to you and your family!

    Beautiful music!

    Didn’t even need to practice. This team provided beautiful music on my special day and I didn’t have to worry about anything. It was timed perfectly. Took away much of my stress!

    Wonderful musicians!

    Chris and his colleague played at my daughter's recent wedding, and it could not have been more beautiful. Chris is also very easy to work with. He always responded quickly to emails and was more than happy to learn new songs if they weren't in their extensive repertoire. Thank you, Chris!

    Seaside Strings's reply:

    Thank you Cara! Congrats to you and your family. Thank you for trusting us to perform at such a beautiful ceremony.

    Made our ceremony perfect!

    We hired Seaside Strings to play at our wedding ceremony and we are SO happy that we did! Chris was extremely helpful with music selection and their string quartet even learned two songs for us. The music was so beautiful and everything we had hoped for. It made our ceremony so romantic! Thank you, Seaside Strings!

    Seaside Strings's reply:

    Congrats again on your wedding and thank you for hiring our group to perform for you and your guests.

    Great Music

    Their work was such a great touch on our wedding ceremony. They were easy to communicate with, and gave us honest feedback when discussing song choices. For when the groom and mother walked down, they played the Batman original theme song and nailed it! The crowd went wild and it really made it such a truly special occasion.

    Seaside Strings's reply:

    Thank you for the excellent feedback and trusting us to perform at your wedding. Congrats again on your special day!

    Talented, responsive and flexible team of musicians for your wedding!

    Chris and the Seaside Strings team were a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. They have a huge repertoire and were also willing to learn a few beloved pieces that meant a lot to my wife and me. The result was a really magical, movie-like walk up and down the aisle. We will never forget it!

    Everything smooth and easy!

    Totally on top of it. Other than deciding on songs, the whole process took 30 minutes tops (a few emails and writing a check). Everyone enjoyed the strings and I think it made the event quite elegant.

    If you are looking for the BEST in LA, look no further!

    Chris and the other musicians were absolutely incredible and our guests couldn't stop raving about how great they were. I looked at tons of other String trios / musicians but when I sampled some of Seaside Strings videos on their site, I knew that I had found the perfect musicians. They are way more talented than any of the others and they made our wedding so special. They even did a custom strings version of a rock song and it was spectacular. I'm a very picky person and am sometimes hard to please - that being said I can't recommend Seaside strings enough! We are going to have to find some excuse to hire them in the future so we can enjoy their music again! Also, listen to their samples on their website (especially Sweet child of Mine) you will definitely book them right away. Look no further - they are the BEST!!

    We had Seaside Strings perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We were so pleased with how it turned out! Seaside Strings really made our wedding feel elegant and the music was breathtaking.

    They even performed songs that were not on their list for us!

    We used Seaside Strings for our wedding in March. They were very easy to work with, professional, and sounded breathtaking at our wedding ceremony. I would recommend them to anyone looking for musicians for an event!

    What a wonderful experience we had with Seaside strings. From the beginning to end, it was a complete pleasure to work with them. From across the country, as I began my wedding planning process with a simple phone call, to the day of my wedding, they listened to my vision and requests and executed flawlessly. They looked amazing and of course played the most beautiful music. They even played for our first dance and parent dances. It was so perfect! Thank you, Chris and Seaside strings for being so professional and incredibly talented with your instruments! We appreciate you for being so great with us on our most special day!

    I only got to hear and enjoy the wedding march song from seaside strings since we were busy taking pictures both before and after the ceremony. Our guests said they were great! Actually amazing! Thank you for being apart of our special day!!!

    Chris and his team did an amazing job on our wedding day! They played for our ceremony and for our cocktail hour. They were on time, professional, and played beautiful music. They also were very easy to work and responsive during the planning stages. They played a fun variety of music during the cocktail hour that our guests really enjoyed. Would definitely recommend!

    Thank you Stephanie! It was an absolute pleasure performing for you and your guests. :)

    Chris from Seaside Strings made this vendor booking stress free and a wonderful experience. He is so knowledgeable and was available for questions leading up to the big day. Their prices are definitely reasonable for the level of expertise in service and performance! We knew we wanted to add a string trio to our wedding ceremony and as soon as we heard them play and read their reviews, we knew we had to book them. They had a current promotion going on so we received a discount on their already fantastic price. The trio was professional on the day of and the music really made the ceremony even more beautiful. They played classical and a few pop songs too! Amazing! I am so glad we booked them! Thank you Chris and Seaside Strings!

    If you want an extra touch to make your wedding unique and memorable, hire this quartet! They were extremely easy to work with, and were very friendly and professional. One of the most memorable moments from our wedding was pausing just before walking down the aisle, and hearing the quartet begin playing. I still get goosebumps when I think about it! We hired them for the ceremony music and for cocktail hour, and they were more than willing to relocate for us. We couldn't be happier with our choice to hire them!

    I hired them for my wedding ceremony. Chris and his team were very professional and super easy to work with! Chris always response my email timely. They've also been very accommodating when I had to change the schedule after I signed the contract. They performed all the songs I asked for. I got a lot of compliments from my guests that their performance brings quite a bit of elegance to my wedding.
