We were thrilled to have the quartet from Wilmington Strings provide music for our wedding ceremony. Their playing was beautiful, and their repertoire is huge!

Lianne Sent on 12/11/2024WSE Made our Ceremony Unforgettable
Having a live string ensemble adds an emotional and personal touch to your wedding or event. WSE went above and beyond to make our ceremony unforgettable. WSE was very helpful with ceremony music suggestions and researched arrangements for specific song requests that were not in their catalogue. In planning ceremony music, they helped me figure out the order of other components of the ceremony based on the hundreds of other weddings they have played for. On the wedding day, they arrived early and set up in the background of the chaos. The live music played by WSE is unmatched to any playlist on spotify.Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We really appreciate it. Your wedding was beautiful, it was a pleasure working with you.

Mary Sent on 08/02/2024Highly recommend Wilmington String Ensemble!
Wilmington String Ensemble provided a string trio for our daughters wedding and cocktail hour a few weeks ago. Kathleen was very easy to work with, providing prompt communication and helping us formulate a basic plan. They have a wonderful repertoire of traditional and contemporary selections to choose from. We selected the pieces for the ceremony and a few for the cocktail hour and gave them latitude to pick selections they thought would fit the event. We had considerable weather drama the afternoon of the ceremony and they were incredibly flexible on site. We received so many compliments and they were a perfect addition to her dream wedding. Thank you!Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Dear Marry Anne:

Jordan Sent on 07/26/2024Outstanding Musicians who added an elegant touch!
My wife and I were married this past June, and we hired Wilmington Strings to play for both our ceremony and our cocktail hour. They not only played beautifully, but they were extremely flexible our playlist and with learning some of the songs we had requested. Especially considering that we had to make a few last minute changes to our song list, they didn't even bat an eye and were able to adjust easily! Lastly, they were extremely professional (especially given the unexpected heat wave that came). We cannot recommend them highly enough!!Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Dear Jordan and Lisa:
Thank you so much for your kind words. You and your family were wonderful to work with. Thank you so much for the review.

Jamie Sent on 11/18/2023Thank you for making our ceremony so beautiful!
We had the most beautiful and romantic ceremony and cocktail hour we could ask for! The string quartet was extremely talented and have a vast repertoire. We requested some of the more challenging, lesser-known classical pieces that needed to be rehearsed a lot and were pleasantly surprised that they were able to accommodate most of them. Everything was played beautifully and made us feel emotional. I also really enjoyed working with Kathleen, the owner, throughout the wedding planning process.Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Dear Jamie:
Thank you so much for your review. We really enjoyed playing your requests. It was a pleasure working with you and getting to play for you.

John Sent on 11/19/2022Wonderful Experience from Start to Finish
The Wilmington String Ensemble was a joy to work with. From the very first time we asked for a quote, Kathleen was responsive and answered all of our questions. They contacted our pastor to get cues and made sure everything was in place before our wedding day. Their repertoire is massive and any song that you could want is on their list, from classical to modern. My wife and I selected a mix and we could not be happier with the performance. On the day of the wedding they arrived early to set up and confirm our plans. They were flexible with seating and easy to work with. Most importantly was the performance: truly exceptional and made our day...Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:

We hired Wilmington String Ensemble after our day-of coordinator recommended them! They added such a beautiful, classy touch to our farm wedding. They were quick to respond and worked with us to learn our special request of the Rocky Theme for our recessional song. Would highly recommend if you're looking to add an elegant touch to your day!Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:

Kathleen and her team were truly amazing! i had a huge song list and it was seamless for the musicians to master. As we all know planning a wedding is a challenging event, especially in a pandemic. But Wilmington strings was so wonderfully easy to work with and our ceremony and cocktail hour sounded gorgeous!Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:

Elizabeth Sent on 01/19/2022The Perfect Touch for Our Wedding Ceremony
We had a quartet and vocalist from the Wilmington String Ensemble perform at our wedding ceremony, and they did SUCH a beautiful job! The performances by the vocalist and musicians added so much depth and emotion to our ceremony, and one of my favorite moments of the day was walking down the aisle to the sound of their beautiful music playing. So many guests told us how moving the ceremony was, and I have no doubt that the team from the Wilmington String Ensemble are largely to thank.
Throughout the whole wedding planning process Kathleen was so wonderful to work with, and helped us pick out songs and answered any questions we had. She was incredibly responsive, and...Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:

Sondra Sent on 08/11/2021Incredible musicians! Easy booking.
Wilmington Strings was incredible! We had a string trio of violin, cello and harp play for our ceremony and reception. They were incredible! Very responsive and receptive to our ideas. The musicians hit all the cues on perfect time during the ceremony. I've always loved music played on a harp but I wasn't sure if it would be a bit over the top. I'm so glad we went ahead with the harp, it is such a beautiful instrument and really added a wow factor to the string ensemble. Many of our guests commented on how beautifully they all played.Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Dear Sondra:
Thank you for your lovely review. I also appreciate receiving the pictures. It was wonderful working with you. Best wishes, Kathleen -

Karlene Sent on 11/22/2020Absolutely wonderful
Wilmington string ensemble played the ceremony music for my wedding November 6th. They played the most beautiful music exactly how I wanted. Kathleen even wrote my music out that did not originally have a string Part written. They went above and beyond to make my ceremony special. All of the musicians were amazing. I highly recommend them.Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Thank you Karlene. Your wedding was beautiful. It was wonderful working with you and Joey!

We had a string quartet from Wilmington Strings Ensemble perform during our ceremony and it was the perfect choice! We chose several pieces from their large catalog and they were able to accommodate our requests for a couple of songs not already on their list at no extra charge. Kathleen was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend them! -

Kyra Sent on 09/28/2019Beautiful music & excellent experience
A huge thank you to Kathleen and Wilmington Strings Quartet! Her string quartet performed at my wedding in August at Pomme, not only was the music absolutely beautiful, but Kathleen herself was phenomenal to work with from start to finish. Everyone arrived early to setup for the wedding, which was also appreciated.
Walking down the aisle and hearing such lovely music made it all the more special.
Leading up the wedding, Kathleen paid attention to every detail and was very helpful with questions I had around my song selections. She even noticed a song I had forgotten to add on my final selection sheet! For our music selection, I had selected more contemporary music for pre ceremony,...Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
