    Best Ceremony & Cocktail Hour

    Stirling Strings made our wedding reception and cocktail hour both elegant and fun as the beautifully performed contemporary hip hop and pop music. Their rendition of “Ocean Eyes” by Billie Eilish was the perfect accompaniment to the bride walking down the aisle. The quartet started our wedding on a perfect note and set the exact tone we desired for the type of music our guests were to experience throughout the night. Their performance truly made our wedding special.

    Incredible music and vibes

    Our guests were so impressed by Sterling Strings! The group arrived on time, figured out set up seamlessly, and proceeded to wow us all. It was so magical to enjoy both modern hits (Beyonce, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey etc) and classical selections throughout our day and they provide an expansive list of options to choose from. Thank you so much for your artistry!

    Best Band In NYC

    The most professional and reliable band to utilize for your event. We hired them for our wedding and we were so happy. Our guests loved the music during the ceremony and reception. A great selection to choose from, open lines of communication prior to our wedding, and arrived early to set up. What an amazing experience

    Delivered on every request!

    We could not be happier about the performance from Sterling Strings. They were the ultimate professionals and easy to communicate with. To make our day even more special they were able to incorporate special request songs from different genres, including Afrobeats, which was a great treat for our guests. They come highly recommended for any event. Thank you Sterling Strings!

    Perfection!

    If I could summarize Sterling Strings in one word, it would be "PERFECTION"! They were everything I hoped they would be. As a classical musician who also loves Hip-Hop, I dreamed about having a classical and pop music portion of my wedding. It was amazing to find a group who was very capable of both, and boy did they deliver!! In addition, the DJ I hired was running extremely late and they even were able to step up and cover some of his responsibilities as well. I would highly recommend them for any event!!

    Sterling Strings are Brilliant!

    Sterling Strings were truly fantastic! This is a group with outstanding musicianship and such talent. Eric was wonderful to work with, and so support of our requests for the ceremony. We went through several postponements and the group were so accommodating and understanding each and every time. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, accomplished quartet to make our ceremony special. Thank you so much, Sterling Strings!

    Incredible!

    These guys are straight up PROS with a capital P!

    My wife and I hired the Sterling Strings to play our wedding and couldn’t be happier. Their vast repertoire of both classics and modern songs led to quite the lasting impression on our guests. From the thong song to Beethoven there is something for everyone. While wedding planning we always looked forward to anything to do with the Strings because of how fun they made it. Day of they were so nice to us and all the guests as well, taking my wife’s request to replay a song we had missed while taking photos prior to cocktail hour.

    Can’t recommend this quartet enough!

    Could not have chosen better

    I first saw Sterling Strings at Fulton Station in NYC, knew immediately I would want them to be part of my wedding, when it came time.
    Fast forward a year or so, they fulfilled my dreams of having a Quartet perform at my ceremony and the cocktail hour.
    I love their original spin they put on oldies to classical to new age. I could not have asked for a better or nicer group of people to trust on our special day.
    I corresponded with Eric and he was easy going and accommodating. The actual Quartet were lovely and we heard the best from our guests.
    Thank you for making our day even more special!

    A dream come true

    Sterling Strings ended up being one of the most special parts of our wedding day. We got hitched in Philly but live in NYC, so having a piece of NY with us on the day was lovely, and if you're going to have any piece of NY with you, Sterling Strings is it.

    They played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and not only was the quartet beautiful, energetic, and balanced - they were SO memorable. We are still receiving compliments about how amazing the strings were and what a heartfelt touch they put on the evening. I walked down the aisle with my parents to their wedding song (Can't Help Falling in Love) and exit with the wedding party to one of our favorite songs (Hold on, We're Going Home). The mix of classical, oldies, and contemporary was perfect and it was enjoyed by everyone there.

    Working with Eric to plan the songs for the night was wonderful - he is so kind, accommodating, and wants to ensure the music is everything you dreamed of. And it was.

    Wonderful experience!

    We decided on Sterling Strings because the group plays together on a regular basis, which sets them apart. We had initially considered hiring a few solo musicians but were concerned with how they would play together. Eric was my main point of contact and was incredibly responsive to all of my questions. He was also very patient, which was needed as it took the groom quite some time to determine what song he wanted to walk down the aisle to. (I think this is mostly because the list of songs they will play is quite extensive!) The group arrived on time and looked great! Our wedding was on one of the hottest days of the year and the Sterling Strings musicians brought blazers so they would look appropriate for the event. Because of the heat, we opted to not go with the blazers, but appreciated the willingness to wear them upon request. Our ceremony start time was delayed, and Eric and team were very accommodating. They did a great job when they played, and I really couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re local to the NYC area, please consider them to be your ceremony musicians, you will not be disappointed!

    Book them now!

    Sterling Strings was one of the first vendors I booked once I secured my venue. Long before I even met my now-husband I told myself if I ever got married, I would be hiring Sterling Strings during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They are SO INCREDIBLY talented and we are so lucky they chose to share their talents with us and our guests on our special day. So many people asked us about them and thought it was such a wonderful part of the day. I would recommend them over and over and over again!

    Phenomenal Musicians - Book Them NOW

    I initially saw them in the Oculus at WTC and knew I had to have them for our wedding. It's hard to get anyone in NYC to stop, much less in the middle of rush hour and they had people entranced by their sound and arrangements. Their range of music is extensive and they can do just about anything you ask. We hired them to work our ceremony and cocktail hour and they more than delivered. Our guests were awed by them and it was such a beautiful way to start our wedding before kicking off the party. We would book them again in a heartbeat!!!

    Best Decision!

    I found Sterling Strings through one of the online wedding sites. Prior to booking, I watched every video I could find of them performing. After booking, I re watched every video because I was so excited and could not wait to see them in person. We initially booked SS to provide music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Appx one week before the wedding we decided to add a violinist to play during dinner. Our guests absolutely loved the music. Eric was so easy to work with. Days leading up to the wedding we scheduled a call to go over some ideas I had for my entrance song. When I called, the band had just finished rehearsal. As we talked about what I wanted, Eric put me on speaker and the band played a sample of what we talked about to make sure it was what I wanted. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

    Awesome music, elegant ambiance, very memorable

    Sterling Strings was a huge success for our wedding. I first heard Sterling Strings in Grand Central (pre-COVID) and their music made for a good start to the morning as it filled the halls as I was walking to work. I knew I had to have them at our wedding, and luckily my wife went along with my recommendation! They definitely were impressive and worth it. My wife and I highly highly recommend. They played for 2 hours during our wedding reception and it really set the tone for the evening. They can play a wide range of music which is awesome, especially all of today's hits, and their sound is so unique and helps generate a very elegant ambiance even if they're playing a strings rendition of a hip hop song. Many of our guests thought it was the coolest part of our wedding, and we would agree.

    We were so blown away by Sterling Strings at our wedding.

    We were so blown away by Sterling Strings at our wedding. They are exceptionally gifted musicians who gave an incredibly memorable performance that our family keep talking about (and will for years). They were poised and professional when it started to rain in the middle of our ceremony and maintained high spirits all through the night. During the reception, they deftly navigated the evening, mixing classical songs with our contemporary favorites, and kept the group moving when it was time to dance. We’ve since recommended them to family, friends and friends of friends and cannot wait to work with them again for our next celebration. They’re truly wonderful artists and were equally wonderful people to have with us. We’re lucky we found them!

    Look no further!

    I don't even know where to start. I found out about Sterling Strings when my friend booked them for her wedding. As soon as I heard them play I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding. Two years later I got married and had them for my ceremony and cocktail hour. They are such amazing talented musicians. Their music is so beautiful and they play with such grace!!! I received so many compliments from guests at our wedding. They were easy to work with, responsive, and flexible. Look no further and book them. I wish I had another function so I could book them again!!

    Excellent Musicians

    Sterling Strings was everything I imagine for my wedding. Very professional, Sterling adds a special touch to their music but also very mature performance keeping it classical. We were able to plan out over the phone and discuss my ideas with Eric and his team. Despite this year; with a restricted amount of people, I was able to get married with the woman of my dreams and Sterling Strings was able to do an outstanding performance.

    Elegant Virtual Wedding

    We hired Sterling Strings to perform for our Zoom Wedding as our in-person wedding was canceled due to COVID-19! Eric was super responsive over email and phone, and open to our unorthodox request to perform virtually for guests. Leading up to our event, Eric joined our virtual run-through to help trouble-shoot any issues and even performed a few different versions of our songs to help decide which sounded best over Zoom. Eric was so easy to work with and really helped our virtual wedding feel like an incredibly special and elegant affair. Our friends and family were so delighted at the surprise performance -- it really helped set the mood that this wasn't just another video call! I hope we're able to work with Sterling Strings again in the future for an in-person performance, but we're so grateful we were able to support these talented artists and create a special moment for our unconventional wedding.

    Made our Wedding Day Perfect!

    We hired Sterling Strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and folks are still talking about them! They were so easy to work with, professional, and their talent is unmatched. Upon our request, they played more traditional music during the ceremony and switched over to contemporary music for the cocktail hour. It was a hit with us and our guests. If you book them for your event, you will not regret it. You'll likely be like us and will be looking for other events to hire them for.

    The Best!!

    Everything about Sterling Strings was perfect. From the first interaction with Eric via email he was very professional and always responded right away. The list of songs they have is amazing (every genre, classical to pop) but they're willing to learn a new song if you wanted. They arrived on time. Set themselves up. Worked everything out through our day of coordinator. It was competely stress free for us. They played for an hour and it was absolutely incredible, including for my wife walking down the aisle. They were by far the hit of the wedding and would highly highly recommend them.

    An exemplar experience would book again

    I’ve received so many compliments on the professionalism and grace Sterling Strings brought to my wedding. Also the price is very affordable and they are very accommodating and skilled. My only complaint is that I didn’t get to fully experience as we had to take pictures! Would definitely use again!

    Sterling Strings experience

    Sterling Strings played at our wedding and were one of highlights of the evening!! Amongst the changes and everything going on with Covid, they were so easy to work with and flexible to our needs. We’d definitely recommend and would use them again if we could!

    Pure talent

    Sterling Strings was an absolute hit at our wedding! We've had multiple guests comment post-wedding about how much they loved the quartet and how talented they were. Eric was super easy to work with and was very responsive, even going out of his way to meet us at a local coffee shop before we agreed to move forward (we wanted face time with our vendors to ensure we connected). Leading up to the wedding, we selected a variety of songs that we wanted and they killed it the day-of. We highly recommend using Sterling Strings at your wedding if you want an unforgettable evening

    So worth it!

    Sterling Strings were such a hit at our wedding! They played at our ceremony and cocktail hour and our guests absolutely loved them! We had a DJ for the reception portion but adding a string quartet for the ceremony was a really special touch that we are so glad we invested in.
    Eric was very professional and prompt with his communication which put us at ease for the big day. Definitely recommend these guys!
