    Very Professional & Competitive Rates!

    Seranata strings was not only professional but also very accommodating. I was having a wedding and wanted to hire a string quartet to play for the ceremony and the cocktail hour (same venue) so that our guests could enjoy the classiness of the string quartet. The repertoire of music that they could perform is on their website and gave me a good idea of what to expect on the day of the wedding.

    I would recommend them for your event to provide a nice classy touch. Certain aspects of communication seemed a bit old school but email worked out perfectly fine. I highly recommend using Seranata strings at your next event because not only do they provide you with a great set of musicians, they have some of the most competitive pricing among other string companies I’ve contacted.

    Ceremony Strings!

    We hired Serenata Strings for our wedding ceremony and it was one of my favorite parts of the wedding. We had an acoustic guitar and violin playing as people were getting seated as well and post-ceremony as people were leaving. They had such a lovely sound and the process of hiring them was a breeze!

    Great for Ceremony + Reception/Cocktail Hour

    Serenata Strings created the most beautiful ambiance for our wedding. We booked the violin + guitar ensemble and Karen was so easy to work with when we had some special requests / back and forth on what songs we wanted to hear.  They are truly incredible artists and did a great job with the very wide range of requests we threw at them. We had classical music, Bruno Mars, Journey, even some Disney songs, and they played them all perfectly. I felt like they really wanted to make our night special and they put in the effort to show it!

    Amazing musicians and even better people

    My husband and I were married on 11/17/19 in an outdoor country wedding ceremony. Serenata Strings provided a string quartet for our outdoor ceremony and the cocktail hour immediately following the ceremony and they were absolutely amazing. They all arrived well before the first guest and stayed through the end of our cocktail hour as planned. My husband is a musician and we had a ton of musicians at our wedding and we heard so many comments on how beautiful the music was. Our wedding day was this gorgeous, clear blue Texas sky day, way out in the country and we were surrounded only by the quiet, peaceful sounds of nature and the music from that beautiful string quartet. The beautiful sounds produced by Karen and her fellow musicians made our wedding ceremony so very special. Karen is not only a very talented musician, but she is an amazing person. In January, when we started this journey of planning our November wedding we were turned away on our first weekend of touring venues because we were a same sex couple and the owner of the venue told us that we were not part of God's plan for marriage. It was heartbreaking. We shared our story and pressed pause on our plans, unsure if we were up to the challenge of planning a wedding in Texas as a gay couple. We were not prepared to come out to every one of our vendors and hope that they would accept us. One of the many vendors that heard our story and jumped to our defense was Karen at Serenata Strings. She offered to play at our wedding for free. We were blown away! She didn't have to do this, we were complete strangers, but she wanted to do it to show that she is committed to equality. It's one thing to say that you are LGBT friendly and welcome business from everyone, it is another to freely give of your time and talents out of the goodness of your heart to help right a wrong. Karen is the real deal. We know that you have plenty of options when hiring musicians for your wedding but if it is important for you to support musicians that are not only incredibly talented, but celebrate all couples (and their guests) then please give Serenata Strings a listen. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

    I worked with Karen with Serenata Strings to arrange the services for my ceremony and cocktail hour music. They were very affordable and I felt like I got a great value for the money we paid! They were very responsive and flexible. I was very satisfied with their services!

    Karen and Serenata Strings were very affordable and played exactly what we envisioned for our ceremony. Karen worked very well with our family pianist, Letha. She was communicative with Letha and all of us prior to the wedding and they sounded GREAT together. Karen created such a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding ceremony!

    These guys were awesome. They did the music for my reception and they were wonderful. Everyone complimented on how classy it was and how well they did. They were especially helpful when we added a certain song for the father daughter dance just a few days before the wedding.

    Outstanding music!! I was soo excited when we found this vendor in the DFW area to play our wedding as my heart has always been partial to strings coming from a family of musicians myself! My wedding was a small event, but Jay and Karen of Serenata Strings made it Grand! My husband and I, as well as my guests, could not stop raving about how creative and beautiful their sound was. We opted for a traditional ceremony song list and more contemporary/modern list for the reception. The transition was transparent as their talent speaks for itself! Thank you for making my Canon in D when I walked down the aisle the dreamy song Ive always envisioned in my head! I would recommend Serenata Strings in a heartbeat!

    Amazing! The violin and guitar were a hit at our wedding! They played the first hour for when guests arrived, during the ceremony, and a few songs after. They accommodated my one request that wasn't on their list and played it beautifully. Everything sounded exactly as it does on their website and our guests really enjoyed it. I just wish I had not been tucked away in the bridal suite and could have enjoyed it more :) I'm already planning to use them for our company Christmas party!

    The music was stunning. The violinists were able to make our elegant wedding come together. Everyone still speaks highly of the musicians professionalism and talent. Serenata Strings was also very understanding and flexible with our ceremony last minute time change.

    Beautiful music; consummate professionals

    Not only are they consummate professionals, incredibly skilled and with an extensive repertoire, but they are also easy to work and communicate with. We had wanted to use Sereneta Strings for both the ceremony music and our reception, but we were unclear as to whether we would have the space at our reception venue. It turned out we didn't, but they were so understanding between the back and forth. In the end, our guests could not stop praising them and the atmosphere they created for the ceremony. Highly recommend them - if we ever host another party, we'd be looking to hire them again.

    Perfect Wedding Ceremony Music!!

    We worked with Karen at Serenata Strings for a string trio at our wedding ceremony. The musicians from Serenata Strings were very talented and professional! Their music was a perfect touch to the wedding. Would highly recommend Karen and her team!

    Beautiful ceremony music!

    My husband and I were thrilled with the sting quartet that played from Serenata Strings at our wedding ceremony. The music was beautiful. They coordinated and practiced with our vocalist to ensure everything went well on the wedding day. Really enjoyed working with them and would recommend!

    Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Musicians

    Serenata Strings were easy to work with and very professional. They played beautifully during the ceremony and cocktail hour. We couldn't have been happier with the music. Karen also sent a personal thank you note and music which was an extra added touch that I loved.

    Wonderful string quartet!

    We would highly recommend Serenata Strings! We had their string quartet play at our wedding ceremony at the Adolphus. They did a fantastic job, beautiful music. Leading up to the event, it was easy to correspond with Karen regarding the contract and deciding on music selections. A memorable and elegant part of the wedding ceremony!

    Highly recommended... Absolutely beautiful music!

    I knew from the reviews that the music performed by Serenata Strings at my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding ceremony would be lovely. It was not only lovely, it was tremendously moving and timed perfectly. Their amazing string duet was performed by Karen (violinist) and Jenna (cellist). I am still getting calls about how beautiful the ceremony music was. Our contact was Karen, who was always so sweet, polite and professional. SS are very popular/busy, but Karen was always kind and never made me feel rushed. She made everything go smoothly from the hymn choice planning to the order performed. They are prompt, affordable, professional, and extremely talented. THANK YOU for making their wedding ceremony even more beautiful!!!

    They were very accommodating and helpful. We had a little problem at the ceremony and they had continued playing until everything was resolved. The ceremony might have lasted longer than the agreed time and they were still there. We were very grateful.

    Serenata Strings played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception, and we couldn't be happier! Great to work with and allow for input and personal preference in song selection.
