The trio was amazing. They were the perfect touch for the theme of the wedding and well exceeded all my expectations! They made our special day absolutely wonderful. They were easy to communicate with and caused me absolutely no additional stress on the wedding day, which is what every bride needs in her life. I am so happy with their performance!

Wonderful music, extremely professional, would definitely hire again

Prompt arrival. Great music. Just as anticipated.

Renee was wonderful to work with for my daughter's wedding at Franklin Park Conservatory. Literally - she asked for the songs we wanted and when they should be played. There were no issues - the music was beautiful and it was so easy! I would highly recommend Viva La Strings. Thankyou!

Great to have had them perform at the wedding

I had trouble with web site, wound up just using email directly

Renee made our day very special and she was so helpful in making her performance a surprise for my husband. Thank you so much!

It was great and we would definitely have you back!

They were very easy and pleasant to work with. Did a wonderful job performing and really added to the ambiance of our event.

outstanding performance. Just Fantastic!!!! Played the song I wanted. total professionals!! extremely happy!!!

I had to switch from another strings company just a few months before our big day because of lack of conversation. Viva La Strings was absolutely incredible and was quick to respond to my questions. I loved working with Renee and we had an amazing experience. Many of our guests commented on the music and how tranquil it felt in the greenhouse listening to the rain and the string play. Thank you again for everything!

Renee was very easy to work with -suffered through multiple changes with grace and patience. Performance was lovely.

The trio was wonderful! They were very professional and the music was beautiful, and exactly what we wanted. We got so many compliments from our guests! We would definitely recommend them!!

Great job! Thank you!

Viva La Strings did an amazing job performing in a small setting for a surprise 10 year anniversary dinner for my wife. They arrived on time and set up quickly allowing time for my wife to arrive to the surprise. They were personable, respectful of our home, and most importantly, sounded great! Working with them beforehand to plan was easy and communication was clear. i recommend highly!

George was on time, dressed in a tuxedo and played the most beautiful guitar music for my daughters wedding.

Wonderful to work with!

Thank you so much!!

The musicians were on time, followed our instructions to help maintain the surprise, were very kind and performed well. Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful performance.

I was really disappointed because they cut off songs way too soon during the precession of the wedding party. It seemed like they were trying to rush it. Why bother picking songs if you are going to play them like they are from the old game show “name that tune” that was on during the 70’s. It was extremely choppy. Secondly they didn’t even know what song my daughters first dance was. So they were literally dancing to no music while I stood there trying to help 4 musicians find the song. This was discussed in emails in plenty of time prior to the wedding date. I called and changed one entrance song the day before and this too was not relayed or played. I was really disappointed in the money I spent and how careful we were planning all the songs for them to be barely played or not played at all in some cases.

We were so happy with the string quartet! They sounded beautiful, and we got many compliments from our guests.

The music matched our event perfectly.

Their performance sounded great.

Performance was excellent. Enjoyed by all at the wedding. We received many compliments. Worked with us to facilitate last minute changes. Professional and courteous.

Loved every minute of their playing. We all loved it. Helped make the day even more special.

Great job!! Our guests were very impressed with the music. It was great working with Renee. 100% recommend!

We received so many comments on how fantastic our wedding music was from the string quartet. It was a beautiful addition to our wedding day. We can’t thank you enough for helping bring our vision to life and creating a day we will never forget.

Excellent overall experience!! Performance was great, and Viva la Strings was super easy to work with. We coordinated the playlist and timing in advance, so we were prepared and on the same page for wedding day. As the bride, I did not even meet with/interact with them at all until I was walking down the aisle! They have played at our venue before and are familiar with the setup and logistics. This made it very easy and stress-free for my family and I as we were taking pictures and preparing for the ceremony. We received many compliments on their performance and how great it sounded. I am so glad we decided to book Viva la Strings, and would 100% recommend them to anyone for any occasion!

Arrived on time and prepared. Beautiful sound and added that special touch to the ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend them

Wonderful performance. exactly what we wanted. Total professionals. Extremely pleased.
