    Solid wedding string group

    We hired the string poets to play 3 songs for aisle walk. Of the 3 songs, 1 was new and 2 they already knew. The String Poets team did a great job communicating the entire time, and showed up with professionalism. They also did a great job on the new song they learned. Overall I'd highly recommend them!

    Unbelievably Beautiful!

    String Poets provided 3 hours of exceptionally beautiful and exquisite music for our Dec 29, 2021 Gramercy wedding. I worked with Radhi who was Unbelievable!! They were responsive, played beautifully and very professional. I asked if they would play accompanying music to my daughter who sang the first dance and it was so beautiful! Each song was moving, perfectly orchestrated and just SO beautiful. Their sound is magical and added the most elegant touch. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND engaging them as they added that special touch that will last a lifetime!!! The best!!!
    Thank you for the most elegant and gorgeous night of music, it was a dream come true.

    Simply breathtaking!

    String Poets were absolutely amazing! We received so many compliments about having live strings over recorded. It added to the scene even more having them! In addition, I had two songs in mind for them to play and they willingly made those songs into strings only! I highly recommend hiring them for your wedding!

    Perfect String Trio for our Wedding!

    We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with String Poets. We asked them to play for our vow renewal ceremony, and they were absolutely perfect for our event. I requested some somewhat unusual songs which wouldn't normally be played in a wedding (such as the Avengers theme for our recessional!), but which made the ceremony special and meaningful for us. Radhi and the wonderful musicians at String Poets accommodated my requests with no hesitation. They also helped me put together a contract that fit my specific needs and budget. Having them provide music for our ceremony really allowed my true vision of our wedding ceremony come to life - which was even more meaningful after our original plans had to be dramatically changed due to COVID. I teared up hearing them playing when I got ready to walk down the aisle. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you!

    String Poets are phenomenal!

    The String Poets were really fantastic for my wedding. They played gorgeous ceremony music and fun cocktail music afterwards. Perfect for any setting and event! Radhi was wonderful to work with and they really do a great job. I 10/10 recommend!

    Perfect Ceremony

    Having a string quartet gave our ceremony an incredible touch of elegance. Watching my bride walk up with her father to a beautifully played live version of a song she chose will forever be an amazing memory. String Poets were easy to work with, and were perfectly happy to play the songs we selected.

    Great Guitar & Violin Duo

    We hired String Poets for our outdoor ceremony music and couldn't be happier. We had a couple of pieces that we wanted incorporated, and they suggested a guitar and violin duo (we were limited to two musicians at the site). That combination worked beautifully, and String Poets were responsive and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend them.

    We first hired The String Poets 6 years ago for my oldest daughter's wedding in Newark, DE & were blown away at the quality of their music & their professionalism. Last night, they came all the way to Wilmington, DE & played for my youngest daughter's wedding. Once again, they were outstanding, not only did they play beautiful ceremony music, but they played a diverse & fun mix for the cocktail hour as well. We had so many positive comments (some from professional musicians in attendance). I highly recommend this group!

    String Poets was absolutely a godsend for our wedding. We contacted them with only a couple weeks to go until the wedding, since we were running into some real issues with our previously booked musicians, and Radhi was incredibly kind and accommodating. They have an extensive classical repertoire, and their renditions are flawless, graceful and very moving-- several professional classical musicians who were in attendance told me that they were very impressed! I entered to Elgar's Salut d'Amour, and their rendition was just perfect. In addition, Radhi was even able to find last-minute sheet music for a very unusual recessional song we wanted (my fiance had his heart set on walking out to the Super Mario Orchestral theme). I am so so glad we found String Poets and would recommend them to anyone!

    I loved working with String Poets for our wedding! We requested songs for our ceremony that were non-traditional (Beatles, etc) and some of the songs we requested the quartet had to learn for our wedding. They were pleased to learn any song we requested. We used them both for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They made everything stress-free and easy! The music during the ceremony was beautiful. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

    I'm so happy with our decision to go with the string quartet for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Radhi was very organized and responsive to emails leading up to the wedding. Their repertoire is huge and has lots of variety (traditional options as well as modern) - and they immediately agreed to play Can You Feel The Love Tonight as I walked down the aisle and If I Were a Rich Man during cocktail hour, despite neither song being officially listed on their website. The music was so gorgeous, and I can't wait to get our wedding video so I can listen to it all over again! Highly recommend :)

    String Poets played for our daughter's ceremony and cocktail hour. They were a perfect selection. The wedding was semi-formal so I think strings are a good match for that type of wedding. Their music was lovely and provided just the right atmosphere during the ceremony and cocktails.

    We booked the String Poets for our ceremony music and cocktail hour and couldn't have been happier! Radhi was fantastic to work with the whole way through the planning process-- willing to answer all my questions and provide some industry advice as we made decisions. Best of all, we had three friends who we wanted to sing during the ceremony and he was great about getting everyone on the same page with the music, practicing with them just before the ceremony to help keep costs down and making everything work beautifully. We absolutely loved the music during the ceremony and missed most of the cocktail hour music while doing pictures, but we heard great things from our guests. We would definitely recommend the String Poets to anyone who'd like to have live string instruments as part of their ceremony or any part of their wedding. We had a quartet with a violin, viola, cello and guitar, which worked really well with our singers. But their flexibility is also a huge plus-- from number of instruments to the particular combination that will work best for your needs. I should add that we decided to book them based only on reviews we'd read from others who'd had them at their weddings-- I hope our review will help future brides/grooms make their decisions. Thank you, Radhi and all!

    String Poets did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We used them for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. They were able to learn several songs for our processional and recessional - ranging from modern rock to Disney - and did fantastic arrangements for all of it. We also received numerous compliments from our guests about their cocktail hour serenading. Beyond their technical talent, they were very easy to work with and friendly. We highly recommend them.

    I have always imagined having a string ensemble at my wedding ceremony and String Poets did a fantastic job. Radhi was always quick to respond. The day of the wedding our trio was on time, professional, and sounded absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much!

    I am so impressed with the level of service and professionalism of String Poets.! When I viewed there site and was able to play so many short audio streams of there work and see that they were open to utilize a song that was not on there list was so great! My wife loved the song by Chrisette Michele "Love is You",so I let the leader of the String Poets, Radhi, know 4 months in advance. He and the string quartet along with the singer of NIRVINE BAND and their guitarist pulled off the song with incredible soul and eloquence. wow. They also provided a concert for our guests as they sat and waited for the wedding to begin. Playing a mixture of classical music and classical music fusioned into modern songs. Radhi, made me feel so confident that they were going to provide an awesome performance! They were prompt to the wedding as well as worked with the staff and other musicians with ease. I will definitely booked them again for any other function that I may have and also refer them to any one else. The string quartet will make a huge statement to your wedding. It takes it up to another level and the price was very reasonable in my opinion for that level of performance. Please consider String Poets for any occasion! Excellent excellent work!

    They did an amazing job. Rhadi was so kind and professional. The ceremony would not have been the same without them. I am so glad we decided to splurge to have a string quartet. It was well worth it. The ceremony and cocktail hour were unforgettable thanks to them!

    The String Poets did an amazing job providing all the music for our wedding, from ceremony processional and recessional to cocktail hour to reception! These musicians are amazing, incredibly professional, and their sound is amazing. They also have an incredible repertoire, and had all of the pieces we wanted for our Jewish ceremony. Radhi Santos, the contact for the String Poets, was fantastic to work with- he was always very approachable and dedicated to making sure that we got exactly the lovely string quartet music we wanted. All in all, fantastic!! I highly recommend them.

    We had a string quartet play our ceremony and cocktail hour. While I didn't hear much during the ceremony I was able to listen for a bit during cocktail hour. The music was beautiful and they were able to work with my selected ceremony music and play covers during cocktail. I can't wait to see the wedding video which hopefully captured more for me to see. It added a really nice touch to our wedding.

    String poets provided beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We wanted more modern music played, and they did exactly that. People could not stop telling us how much they loved our ceremony and cocktail hour music. it set the tone for the best night of our lives! It was nice speaking with them before the wedding, going over songs and likes and dislikes.

    Radhi from String Poets was awesome. I hired a cellist and violinist from String Poets for the wedding ceremony. I chose three specific Scottish songs for the ceremony, one of which they were familiar with. The other two Radhi had not played before, but he was able to listen to the recordings I sent him to compose the music for the two songs. They were perfect!
