    4/21/24 Wedding Ceremony

    I contracted SMT Music to surprise my bride with string quartet on our wedding day. She was absolutely thrilled!
    Steve's team was very professional, timely and understanding of our needs. I could not more highly recommend SMT. Everyone attending the wedding commented on the sound and diversity of music choices. Wonderful experience; We will always be grateful.

    SMT Music's reply:

    Thanks for the nice review Roger. My quartet said it was a lovely wedding and how nice you were. Happy Trails !

    SMT Music - Extremely Helpful

    Steve was incredible at sourcing the exact jazz music we needed for our event. He worked with me to identify the preferred sound/vibe and delivered exactly what we asked for. He went out of his way to conduct a site visit when I couldn't do it myself and allowed for an extremely smooth execution of everything from start to finish. Couldn't recommend someone more! Thanks Steve.

    Hi Katie,
    Thanks for the lovely review. We greatly enjoyed working with you.

    Perfect Atmosphere

    SMT created the perfect pre-ceremony and ceremony atmosphere for our summer wedding! They worked with us on perfecting our dream playlist for our ceremony as well.

    Awesome Music

    We didn't use any music for our ceremony, but SMT played prelude music before the ceremony and played throughout our reception. Our wedding and reception had a 1920s theme to it, so having something like a string quartet to stay true to the era was important to us. SMT certainly did not disappoint. They played a variety of music, including pop hits that our guests recognized. The music really glued the entire theme together. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Our Wedding Music was Fabulous

    SMT Music helped make our Wedding a truly magical experience. The music was Devine! The accomplished quartet gave us a wide variety of music and the Soloist was wonderful! Steve and his group bent over backwards to accommodate our needs, even purchasing our favorite music for the event!! If anyone is searching for music for an elegant wedding experience SMT Music well deliver!

    SMT Music's reply:

    Thanks Maritta! You and your family made us feel welcome and it was a joy being part of your lovely wedding. Best wishes for you and Gary.

    Highest marks for SMT Music at the church and the reception

    We couldn't have been happier with the string quartet who played for our daughter's wedding ceremony and reception. Both the musical selection and performance were exceptional and the musicians skillfully covered the gap when there was a delay in starting the ceremony. SMT Music offers a website with samples of a wide variety of wedding music which makes it easy to choose. Steve is very responsive to questions and great to work with. His group is prompt and professional and personable too. We give them our highest recommendation.

    SMT Music's reply:

    Hi Cullen,
    Thanks for your kind remarks. It was a pleasure being part of Marjorie and Michael's wedding.

    Best,
    Steve

    Top-Notch Musicians and Professionals

    We hired Steve and his colleagues to play the processional and recessional at our wedding, plus 30 minutes of pre-wedding background music and an hour during the cocktail reception immediately following the wedding. As a general comment, they sounded absolutely beautiful and they played exactly the right mix of songs at exactly the right tempo and volume to enhance, but not overwhelm, the spaces that they were playing in. But more specifically, they did two stunningly gorgeous renditions of pop songs that we requested for the processional (God Only Knows by the Beach Boys) and recessional (Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns & Roses).

    I spent hours scouring the internet for a recording of "Sweet Child" that I liked, and they all sounded shrill or off key - even the rendition by Vitamin String Quartet sounded off. I was nervous that the song would be a disappointment, but I was absolutely blown away when Steve and his ensemble started to play as we walked down the aisle out of the church. I was hoping for a "decent" rendition of the song at most, but Steve's ensemble played it PERFECTLY. It was the second happiest moment of the entire wedding for me (the first being the actual marriage!).

    On top of their incredible talent, Steve is extremely organized, responsive and professional. He made it so easy for us to figure out what we wanted, and then he followed up with us continuously to keep everything on track. I couldn't be happier with our choice to hire Steve for our wedding, and I would absolutely hire him again. Thank you, Steve!

    The most beautiful wedding music I've heard

    My daughter recently got married. SMT provided the wedding music and at the cocktail reception. It was the most beautiful music that I have ever heard. The processional was absolutely wonderful. We used the bridal march by Vincente Avella. SMT added in strings and it was so beautiful .
    I had so many compliments from my guests. I would highly recommend SMT music for events. I will certainly contact again.

    Fantastic Trio

    Steve was fantastic from start to finish; he was very informative on the phone and email; he met us at the wedding site weeks before the wedding to plan/prepare and make sure everything would go well; and that we would have the songs we like. He brought a fantastic trio to the wedding, arrived early to set up and played beautifully for the pre-ceremony, during ceremony and afterwards. Everybody was thoroughly impressed with the performance and we were thrilled as the bride and groom. It took the entire wedding to another level. They were expert performers; we couldn't more highly recommend. Also, the cost was very reasonable and well worth it. Fantastic.

    We had SMT Music play for our daughter's wedding and they were splendid! Steve was very good to work with and very responsive and helpful. They were very professional and prompt and the music was amazing! Many guests commented on how beautiful they sounded. Also, SMT music is located in Louisville and the wedding was in Franklin, IN. Steve was willing to get a group together for us in Franklin and was also willing to drive to the venue to be able to play with the group at my request. Very happy with my decision to use Steve Taylor and SMT Music.

    I hired SMT music for my wedding in November. I was never able to meet with him due to me being an out of town bride. He literally made my music dreams come true. I honestly think it was the best part of my wedding and I had so many compliments.

    He was so responsive and worked with me to make my music perfect. I chose some untraditional pieces and he even made a special arrangement for me of one of my favorite compositions. Highly recommended!

    Steve Taylor of SMT Music played so beautifully, along with the other members of his quartet for our daughter's wedding recently. He was fabulous at communicating and offering a list of all types of music to our daughter and her fiancé. He so graciously arranged for someone to play at the Rehearsal Dinner too. A big thank you goes out to our friend that recommended him since he played at their daughter's wedding, as well.

    SMT music was absolutely phenomenal. I was able to be as detailed as I wanted with the music selection and our ceremony was so personalized and special because of that. Steve was exceptional to work with, very responsive and of course friendly. I was married in May and a friend of mine just had the wonderful group for her ceremony this past weekend. They were truly a blessing and an irreplaceable part of my wedding day. I can't say enough about their service and performance.
