Amazing quartet

Luminous Sounds provided music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were a highlight of our night. They helped set the overall tone of the wedding and did an incredible job weaving classical and modern songs based on the direction we provided. Kimberly was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process. We received so many compliments about them and are so happy we hired Luminous Sounds!

The most elegant sounding music

I never want to have a DJ again. Luminous Sounds has set the bar so high for other string ensembles, DJs in general and honestly, other musicians. The minute I knew my fiancé and I were having a micro wedding, we knew a DJ just would not work. When I found Luminous Sounds I knew 100% that they were who we needed. Their repertoire list has so much to choose from and even if they choose music for an event, there will not be any disappointment. We had a quartet for our wedding and they truly exceeded our expectations. Our guest and those on social media said it looked and sounded like a storybook fairytale. Even though it was my wedding, I would have to agree. I was telling my fiancé that I'm ready to plan another event for spring/summer just to have them play again. The music was powerful, as string instruments are beautiful and have a unique sound, but it was also light, elegant and magical. My guests and I also made it a fun little competition to see who could guess the songs first. Luminous Sounds has a place in my heart that has made it so full. They will not let anyone down with their work.

Wonderful accompaniment to our fundraising Gala for Maggie's Mission

Luminous Sounds played at our non-profit - Maggie's Mission Angelversary Gala held at the Vanderbilt Museum in June of 2022. They did an amazing job and their music selection matched our event perfectly. We really appreciated their donation of time and talent to elevate our event. Thank you Luminous Sounds!
