    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    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 did an awesome job at our wedding, and I am so glad I used them! I opted for a string quartet and paid extra for the violinist to come to the rehearsal, however, I believe the group would have done perfect even without the rehearsal. The music was beautiful and the coordination between the officiant and quartet was effortless.

    One of the best investments I made was booking Serenata Strings to play at my wedding ceremony. The music was absolutely beautiful and they played esxactly the music I wanted. They made my dreams come true. Be patient when communicating, they are very busy, but will get back to you every time. Again, absolutely wonderful music!

    Serenata Strings played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and we were thrilled with their services! Many of our guests told us they started crying as soon as the string quartet started because it was so beautiful. The team was very easy to work with and I would recommend them for your event!

    Hi all. I was recently wed on Friday 9/9/2017. I have to say I was blown away by the beautiful music and how polite and professional the musicians were. Karen was a treat to work with. Everything was so easy from music planning to the wedding program. So much music to chose from. Serenata Strings truly helped make my wedding night magical. I really wanted them to stay longer. The communication between Karen, musicians and myself was excellent. The musicians were on point when qued for the flower girls and ring bearer and for my entrance. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Thank you so much Karen and Serenata Strings. Would definitely recommend to anyone else and I will be booking again soon .. :)

    I was in total awe from the moment my ears listened the sweet sound of their violins. I met a few of the violinist at an open house, and knew right away they were the ones. I couldn't have been happier the day of our wedding, it was all so perfect. They even learned a new song upon request for our bridal party entrance. I would definitely recommend to any future bride.

    Our experience with Serenata Strings was amazing! Karen was so helpful in helping us plan our special day. They have music samples on their website and also send you a CD with samples, as well. This made the whole process extremely easy for us, which is SO important in the wedding planning process.
