  Beautiful wedding ceremony

  It was so easy working with Jill! She has a long and diverse list of music to choose from and everything came together so seamlessly. Our ceremony turned out beautifully thanks to Jill and her team! She also has the best pricing in Columbus.

  Absolutely THE best!!!!!

  Jill was very good at communicating, even with changes I would make based off of my indecisiveness! The music was absolutely beautiful and many of my guests talked about how even more emotional it had made my ceremony, just by listening to them perform. My only regret is not having them there the whole night for the reception as well! They were the best part of my ceremony other than my husband!

  Would definitely recommend!

  Jill was amazing to work with and always very communicative! She sent a two musicians for my wedding ceremony, one played violin and the other, a cello. Everyone complemented the music and I thought it added such a nice touch to our ceremony! Leading up to the event Jill was very open to any song suggestions but she already has a ton on her list to choose from. Overall, I would definitely recommend her to anybody!

  Wedding Wish

  One of the items on my daughter’s wish list was to have a string quartet play at her wedding. A friend recommended Jill Crist. Jill is a true professional and made the process very easy. Her experience and flexibility with performing at weddings/events (no matter what the weather) was a blessing. The string music was so beautiful and truly gave my daughter’s wedding an elegant touch. My guests commented on how wonderful it was to listen to live classical music during the seating and ceremony and how cool it was to hear modern music played on strings during the cocktail hour.
  
  The Quartet’s repertoire is huge and if there is a piece that you don’t see on the list, Jill Crist can find it for you. It really was a gift to just send Jill a list of music my daughter chose, and have her create a seamless playlist that flowed beautifully from one song to the next. I cannot thank Jill and the Bryden String Quartet enough for fulfilling my daughter’s wedding wish and making her day so memorable.
  
  P.S. I have a younger daughter and I am looking forward to working with Jill Crist again to plan her wedding music.

  Amazing Cello and Violin duo for my daughter's wedding!

  Jill was amazing to work with! Super responsive and flexible. We wanted more contemporary music for my daughter's wedding. Jill has an amazing repertoire and was even able to get the sheet music for 2 special requests. We had a cello and violin duo and the music was just wonderful. It added such a nice touch to the ceremony! You will not be disappointed if you have Jill & her team at your event!

  Amazingly beautiful music & amazing people!

  Jill was a pleasure to have as our cellist at COVID wedding #1 in 2020, I immediately booked her for the 2021 wedding, and she coordinated a trio for us for July 31st, 2021! Her team was professional and their music was absolutely beautiful for the cocktail hour! And to top if off, not only are they talented but they are all nice people!!

  Talented cellist, great price!

  Jill was fantastic at our wedding! We had to reschedule a couple times because of COVID restrictions and she was very understanding and accommodating throughout the whole process. She played all the songs we requested and I can't recommend her enough for your big day, too!

  Beautiful Music

  Jill was great at communicating with us prior to our wedding, and the music was exactly what we had hoped for! She made sure we had all the songs that we wanted, made it easy for us to add one that wasn’t in her current repertoire. We hired a duet, and the cellist (Jill) and violinist (Chris) both delivered professional and beautiful performances!

  Amazing String Trio!

  Jill was very easy to work with and was extremely responsive. She is very talented and was able to arrange an amazing string trio for our wedding day (outdoor ceremony and outdoor cocktail hour). We received numerous compliments and would highly recommend Jill! The strong trio was an elegant touch and worth every penny!

  I was an anxious bride, but Jill made everything easy. The music was phenomenal, and everyone complimented us on what an elegant touch it added to our ceremony.

  Beautiful music from the two of them, made my daughter’s wedding ceremony perfect!

  I booked her to play at my daughter’s wedding. I made a request of just 2 cellos to play. She didn’t hesitate and made it happen. The music was beautiful and my guests raved about it! Would definitely recommend them!

  Awesome to work with

  Jill performed as a soloist for a very small pop-up wedding in the park. Her performing was a surprise for the couple, and even with short notice and with very little planning in advance of the ceremony she was able to play everything asked of her and was a complete professional throughout. Sounded great, and she helped make the day extra special for everyone in attendance. Would highly recommend.

  Excellent!

  We hired Jill to play at our smaller wedding. We had a cello/violin duet and it was lovely. With all of the hustle and bustle going on, sadly I did not get to hear a lot of the performance but what I did hear was exactly what we pictured. We had them play more modern pop songs and it was fun for all of the guest.
  
  Regarding the performance, my aunt and uncle are both classical music professors/instructors at a university, and they even said they were impressed which is hard to do! Everyone commented that they loved the music and I think it really made our special day that much better.
  
  Working with Jill leading up to the wedding was super easy. We were able to pick all of the songs we wanted and her communication throughout the process was great. Jill is professional, easy to work with and a great performer.

  Jill and her quartet provided the perfect soundtrack for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Jill was so easy to work with and always quick to respond to our emails. She even learned a new song that we wanted to include in our ceremony! Her prices are competitive and we would highly recommend!

  Jill Wright Crist was highly recommended to me by another professional musician who had also had the occasion to hire a string quartet. As a professional musician myself, I was nervous hiring musicians I had not heard before. However, given their strong recommendation, I had Jill's quartet play for my son's wedding which happened to be an outside venue. They did an amazing job! They added so much joy to this beautiful event with their very skilled musicianship. Their website was helpful as were their communications with me for the months leading up to the wedding. I was thrilled with their performance.

  Jill was great to work with from the start. She was quick to respond and communicated very clearly. She was able to find or create sheet music for the special song we wanted for the processional with no trouble at all. We picked out some songs from their vast library and the quartet delivered them beautifully. They all blended right into the background while setting the tone for the ceremony we dreamed of. She was prompt, kind, professional, and reliable. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  My husband and I had a cello (Jill) and violin duet for our outdoor ceremony followed by an indoor cocktail hour. They were amazing!! Jill even found a song I had requested that wasn't on the list she provided. I was a little nervous because I hadn't had the chance to meet them before the wedding, however, they were perfect. They're timing for the ceremony was spot on and it was everything I had imagined it would be! The duet really added a whole new dimension to the overall ambiance of the ceremony. The Wedding String Ensemble's costs are much more reasonable than several other companies I contacted. I would highly recommend the Wedding String Ensembles!!
