Absolutely amazing! I am so glad we hired Sweetwater Strings to play for our wedding. We did the String Quartet 2 hour option so they played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Perfect way to add classic elegance to your wedding. Highly recommend!!Sweetwater Strings's reply:

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sweetwater Strings. We had their String Quartet perform our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was pure perfection. Eily and the team were professional, easy to work with, responsive, and accommodating. They have an extremely extensive selection of contemporary songs from Elton John to Britney Spears and all things Disney. Prior to the ceremony, we selected songs for our Prelude, Processional, Recessional and Cocktail hour. The delivery was absolutely phenomenal, and their talent is incredible.
Truly amazing and 100000% worth it!!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Wow, we truly appreciate your glowing review and are so happy we could add to your special day! Congratulations, and we hope to play for you again sometime :) -

Devin Sent on 02/27/2023Perfect experience
Hired Sweetwater Strings for ceremony music, including two custom songs, and it was worth every penny. Eily gave recommendations on the number/type of musicians based on my song choices, and I very much appreciated the guidance. Everyone raved at how amazing they were, and I’m so glad I made this my wedding day splurge.Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review- we hope you enjoy your newly married life together! -

Sweetwater stream was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They played beautifully, they played all the songs I requested and they were on time. Great experience, if you’re looking for a violinist choose them!Sweetwater Strings's reply:

Alison Sent on 04/01/2020Don't look anywhere else if you want strings at your wedding!
We had Sweetwater Strings play violin and cello at our wedding and they were amazing!! Eily was so easy to work with, very professional, and I just cannot rave about them enough. Their prices were reasonable, they helped us to come up with music/an ambiance for our ceremony and really took all the stress out of this portion of our wedding planning. I felt like I was able to put things in their competent hands and they just delivered an amazing experience. Please hire them, you will NOT be disappointed!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Thank you so much, Alison! We wish you all the best and thank you for providing a review during this time when wedding vendors need it most! :) -

Anna Sent on 03/16/2020Perfect ceremony music
We decided fairly late in the game that we wanted acoustic guitar for our ceremony. We contacted Eily at Sweetwater Strings, and she was very nice and set us up with Alex, one of their guitarists. Their booking process was easy, and their website had a really handy extensive list of song suggestions. The music turned out lovely!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
We appreciate you taking the time to review us! Thank you so much for choosing us to be a part of your big day, and best wishes to you both! -

Chase Sent on 05/23/2019Beautiful Music and Great Service
We hired Sweetwater Strings to play music during our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on March 3, 2019. We were so blown away with how easy the process was, and how great they performed! All we had to do was pick out songs that we wanted to be performed at specific times, such as procession and recession, and the musicians took care of the rest. We received so many compliments about how beautiful the music was. Not to mention, it was very affordable! We would highly recommend Sweetwater Strings to anyone!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Thank you, Ailani! We're so pleased you found the process easy (there is enough to worry about with planning a wedding!) and that you were so happy with the performance. Best wishes to you both! -

Amanda Sent on 03/28/2019Came to our rescue
After a few of our previous arrangements fell through, it was a breath of fresh air to work with Eily at Sweetwater Strings and coordinate a quartet for our ceremony. They have a wide selection of music and are very professional and organized. Even when our quartet became a trio, they reimbursed us for the inconvenience. Can't wait to listen back on the ceremony video!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Thank you, Amanda, for taking the time to share your experience with Sweetwater Strings! We are so happy you enjoyed the music, and we wish you all the best! -
![Stephanie]()
Stephanie Sent on 07/28/2018I'm a big band person and I always knew that I when I got married I would want a string quartet for the ceremony and hors d'oeuvre hour. I always knew that I wanted it, but I never knew if it was something I could afford. Sweetwater Strings was a prayer to my answers. They have such reasonable prices and they do such a wonderful job! I received so many compliments about the string quartet and how wonderful they were and how they played so beautifully! Eily was so responsive to my emails and they played exactly what I had requested. If you are looking for a good string quartet, trio, or duo Sweetwater Strings is exactly who you want! Thank you so much for helping in making our wedding day just so much more special!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Stephanie! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding and we wish you all the best! :) -

Cynthia Sent on 11/06/2017Sweetwater Strings did an amazing job at my wedding! They played beautifully and were extremely flexible. I was running a little behind because hair and makeup took longer than expected and then we had issues with my dress, but they remained professional and continued playing their beautiful music. Eily was great to work with. She was responsive and very helpful in answering my questions. I would highly recommend this vendor. Plus, their rates are affordable! Thank you!Sweetwater Strings's reply:
Hi Cynthia! Thank you so much for taking the time to review us- it's such an amazing gift to us and helpful for future couples. We were honored to be a part of such a special day and overjoyed that you enjoyed the music! Best wishes to you both :) -

Maryem Sent on 05/03/2015Everyone at our wedding loved them! We (bride and groom) unfortunately didn't get to experience to much just the ceremony, which add a touch of elegance and beauty to our amazing day, but we did have them play for cocktail hour and everyone loved them! Can't wait till we get our video so we can relive it again! -
![Amber]()
Amber Sent on 01/28/2013I cannot recommend Sweetwater Strings enough! We had the guitar/violin duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour at the Secret Garden. My husband is very particular about music. He is a musician himself, so when we found the guitar/violin duo we were looking for, he was very excited. He wanted to write his own music for part of the ceremony, and Sweetwater Strings allowed him to do that and played it PERFECTLY! He was so happy. The only thing I regret is not having a videographer so I could have heard the music myself. I did hear them play the Bridal March, and it sounded wonderful. My husband is also Chinese, and we requested a Chinese traditional song for the tea ceremony. Since both of our musicians also happened to be Chinese, they were able to recommend a beautiful song that was very fitting for that part of the ceremony. They are the best- I promise! -

Abbey Sent on 05/14/2011We chose to have the violin and guitar duo play for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and our first dance. The musicians played the following requested songs:
Prelude Request In All My Life
Bridal Party Processional Spring, Vivaldi's Four Seasons
Bride Processional Pachabel Cannon
Recessional All You Need is Love
We loved the way these songs sounded with the violin and guitar duo. The live musicians definitely made the day feel more special and took the wedding up a notch!

Paula Sent on 01/06/2011I hire Eliy for our ceremony music for our Wedding in December 2010. I had the String Duo Violin & Cello, it was absolutely beautiful. Everyone loved the class of the duo for the ceremony, I was very pleased and would hire them again. They were wonderful. Thank you so much for making our day beautiful. -

Jeff Sent on 04/25/2010Just wanted to say thanks for the beautiful music you gave us at our wedding. My mother, who is a classically trained pianist, commented that your playing was wonderful and she enjoyed it very much. She even commented that she felt the selections could have been her own choosing, especially Musette (from her favorite opera).
I especially want to thank you for El Relicario, which brought a tear to her eyes remembering my dad playing it on his organ and the family dogs laying on the floor singing along with him. My sister and I requested it every night, and having it played at my wedding was like having a little piece of my dad there with us. I'm pretty sure he and the dogs looked down on the ceremony and smiled.
Thank you again for being a part of our day.

Linda Sent on 04/21/2010Eily is so sweet! She is very friendly and flexible. I requested a personalized repertoire and with no problem, she was ready with ANY changes I made. I can't remember hearing the music (I was so nervous), but guests said it was beautiful.
