Simply Elegant & Romantic...
My daughter was married in September and we hired Simply Strings to provide a cellist and violinist to play before and during the church ceremony. Maria was very easy to deal with and made the planning process smooth and stress-free. The musicians showed up on time and played absolutely beautifully! They did a wonderful job and really added so much to the ceremony, helping to create a lovely atmosphere of classic romance and elegance. We would highly recommend them! -

Simply Stellar!!
Simply Strings is the best String Quartet around! They recently played at my wedding at Kirkpatrick Chapel in New Brunswick and were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are all top notch professional musicians and they delivered a truly stellar performance. My guests were raving about them the rest of the day. I can't recommend them enough for your special event. -

Beyond Pleased
Maria with Simply Strings was a pleasure to work with! She responded immediately to all of my questions. Her repertoire is amazing. She and her cellist arrived in a timely fashion. The music was fabulous and I am beyond happy we chose her! -

We're honored to have simply strings play at our ceremony
Simply Strings was super easy to contact and communicate with during the planning process. They send a google doc for you to select your repertoire, its so easy! They are very talented, it was the perfect touch for our ceremony. -

Ceremony filled with romantic and classical music
Simply Strings playing during my daughter’s wedding ceremony in August. They were in one word - perfect. Their music created the mood for the wedding - classical, warm and romantic. Always professional and responsive. Our guests continuously mentioned how beautiful the ceremony was with the enhancement of a quartet I can’t recommend Simply Strings enough. -

The perfect touch!
For ceremony musicians we were looking for a trio with experience and an eclectic songlist. We found that and more with Simply Strings.
Maria Ramsay, violinist and coordinator, was easy to work with and answered all our music-related questions. My Husband and I took one look at the songlist and thought that the only problem would be having to choose from all these great selections.
Thankfully, Simply Strings had two of our must-plays already on their repertoire. Sweet Child of Mine, which I entered to, and the Game of Thrones theme, which we exited to. They also accommodated two special requests for Arcade Fire and Indiana Jones. In the end our only regret was that we were too busy mingling to hear more of their music but the compliments we heard from guests confirmed that we made the right choice with Simply Strings. -

Simply Magical ceremony
Simply Strings made our wedding ceremony Simply Magical. Maria was so professional and easy to work with and we were able to choose the perfect songs from their HUGE repertoire. One song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to was not on their list and Maria and her team learned it for us. It made walking down the aisle the most perfect moment that I will never forget. This was definitely some of the best money that we spent on our wedding day. -

We used Simply Strings for our wedding reception for a full 4 hours, and they were a huge hit for our guests, playing a variety of music from classical to contemporary pop music that even got guests to the dance floor! Honestly an amazing performance, and also professional and flexible. Great communication from beginning to end! The only thing that could be improved is that they played the wrong version of our specially requested first dance song (even though we sent the sheet music and was triple checked in the weeks leading up to the wedding day to play the particular version we were getting a first dance choreography for), so we had to improvise our first dance which was a little stressful in the moment, but we were luckily able to pull it off without anyone knowing. It honestly didn't affect the overall night, since they were so good, and they still get 5 stars overall and a full recommendation from me for all wedding/reception needs!! LOVE them. -

Maria and the Simply Strings team made my ceremony and Cocktail Hour absolutely perfect. They were professional, accommodating, and responsive from Day One and I can't recommend them enough for all of my friends' weddings. The repertoire list is expansive and they can easily grab any specific pieces you need. Want your guests to be impressed? Book Simply Strings! -

I've been to weddings with string players and thought they were beautiful, but nothing could prepare me for Simply Strings. They may be the main reason I was a blubbering mess down the aisle because their performance struck me right down to my core. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for being one of the reasons my wedding was perfect! -

I was a ballerina in my younger years (a long, long time ago) so I knew that the *one* thing I really wanted to have at our wedding was a strings quartet. I found Simply Strings (and Maria!) online, and honestly, am so glad that I did. Maria was incredibly responsive from the very beginning, and helped tailor the most magical ceremony and cocktail hour music selection that we could have ever dreamed of. I must've spent over an hour poring over their expansive repertoire list, which spans a wide range of genres and song types. You won't be disappointed-- live music is so beautiful and everyone deserves it on their wedding day! -

Simply Strings is a truly amazing string quartet and I give them my highest recommendation for weddings and special events! Simply Strings performed at my wedding ceremony in July 2018 at St. Brigid church in Peapack, NJ and we were blown away by their beautiful music and elegance! They were a pleasure to work with and perfectly on time and organized for our big event. THANK YOU to Simply Strings for making my wedding ceremony incredibly special and memorable with their magnificent performance! -

I hired Maria and her fellow musicians for my mother's 70th birthday party. We had guests ranging in age from infant to 86 years old and everyone loved the music selection. The quartet played music from the 1960s through today and even played newer popular songs that the older kids and teenagers knew. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them highly. -

Simply String was great to work with. Maria was responsive, easy to reach and helped us identify music that complemented the vibe we wanted for our ceremony. They were on time (in the middle of a nor'easter) and were quick to come up with new pieces when they realized that had to play a little longer than we had planned for. Great team, phenomenal talent--I would highly recommend them. -

Simply Strings with Maria Ramsay and Alex Nelson are some of the best young, enthusiastic, extremely musical and talented players in the state. They were happy to arrange some hymns and other music for our ceremony and work with a small choir. Did their warm up in the glaring sun with no complaints, were flexible with placement for the cocktail hour. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you, Simply Strings.

Simply Strings was absolutely incredible to work with. Their communication before the wedding was always clear and helpful. On the day of our wedding Maria and her group exceeded all of our expectations. They collaborated with vocalists who were also performing. I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality string quartet! -

I spoke with Maria of Simply Strings and she was easygoing and very helpful. She was able to play my dream song of "A Thousand Years " by Christina Perri for the processional. Simply Strings was also able to play many classical songs and a mix of more modern songs without difficulty. They had a good reasonable price point . They were able to play outside for my ceremony. Overall Simply Strings helped set a beautiful romantic mood for our ceremony, and I would highly recommend them! -

Maria Ramsay did a tremendous job playing the violin for my wedding! It was everything I thought it would be and more, it truly added a touch of elegance and charm to the music and I absolutely loved it. She was totally professional, communication through email was smooth and she delivered exactly what she promised and more. Her playing was a gift from a dear friend of mine, and honestly it was perfect! I love the violin and my wedding day would not have been the same without it, and she made it perfect. -

It was great working with Simply Strings for our wedding ceremony. They did a great job. Communication could have been a little clearer at times but all in all I would recommend them. They were willing to learn songs for us at an additional charge which was great. And their sound quality was wonderful. -
