Jordan W. 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:

Mary A. 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:

Jamie L. 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.

Just wonderful!
The Wilmington String Ensemble was the perfect musical background for our daughter’s wedding ceremony last weekend. From the contracting process to the music selections, to the virtuoso performance throughout the ceremony, Kathleen was a joy to work with. Their sweet notes created an atmosphere of magical beauty that had so many guests comment that the wedding was “what fairy tales are made of.” Thank you, Kathleen and your musicians, for contributing your special talents and beauty to our special day.

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 extra special. We had multiple people come up to us after the ceremony and rehearsal to say how much they enjoyed the music. I cannot recommend WSE highly enough.Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Dear John:
Thank you so much for your review. You are very kind. It was wonderful working with you and Christina.
Best wishes for a beautiful future!

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:

Beautiful Music and Great Communication!
Hiring the Wilmington String Ensemble was a great decision! Kathleen was very communicative and worked with my various song requests. A few of the songs I asked for weren't in their repertoire, and Kathleen was quick to let me know they could learn them. They sounded amazing. We got lots of compliments afterwards and it totally added to the magic of the day. -

Look No Further - Perfect Strings Team
I truly cannot say enough good things about Kathleen and the Wilmington String Ensemble. We hired them for our 6/4/22 wedding, and I will be recommending them to anyone that needs strings for their next wedding or event. I would highly recommend them to anyone reading this looking to work with a great team with an incredible repertoire.
Kathleen was extremely professional, communicative and responsive. I felt taken care of from the very beginning of working with them.
They also have an amazing repertoire and were able to accommodate every song we asked for. Their list of instructions is very straight forward for day-of so there's no confusion and you can ensure a really smooth production.
And their music was fabulous. Truly every song was exactly how I imagined it to be played. I was so happy with how everything turned out, my only wish is that I had more events I could use Kathleen and her team for.
Finally, Kathleen and her team were very affordable. I was more than pleased with the services received for the cost and truly could not recommend them enough.Wilmington String Ensemble's reply:
Dear Kimberly,
Thank you so much for your very kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and playing for your wedding.
Best wishes to you and Andrew,
Kathleen
