First, if you only read one sentence – Ariana was amazing and I’d recommend her services in a heartbeat. When planning our wedding, my wife and I picked a venue first and Ariana second. Having a string quartet was my wife’s childhood dream and ...

it was a non-negotiable subject – so while I had little choice in the matter, I can’t reiterate enough how wonderful Ariana and her team were. We picked mostly contemporary (pop) songs that translated beautifully to the string quartet – if you’re considering a string quartet or have a wife that is making you get one, please consider Ariana, they were excellent.

Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2021

Thank you so much, Mike! It was such an absolute pleasure to get to know you and Terry-Ann and to be a part of your wedding day. I'm so glad you chose us and that we could bring our music to your incredibly beautiful ceremony. Congratulations a...

. She is detail oriented and really cares about making sure that her couples get exactly what they want and need. When our ceremony location had to change 10 days before our wedding date, and our originally contracted musicians wouldn’t be able to perform, she spent hours contacting other string trios in her network to make sure that we would have musicians for our performance. The music during my wedding was the perfect accompaniment to the most wonderful wedding ceremony.

hose the perfect spot to set up. They communicated clearly before the day and set up with no trouble. We chose songs for the processional/recessional that weren't in their collection so it cost an extra $10 per song, but they did a *perfect* job with the arrangement so I would say it was worth every penny. They also played great songs for the rest of the time (pre-processional and post-recessional). I really like that they have samples on their website - honestly, everything about this company is easy and goes smoothly. I highly recommend Ariana Strings!

Ariana Strings is hands down the most incredible musical addition to one’s wedding. From the moment we first interacted with Ariana she was personable, communicative, and invested in making sure that the details of our wedding were everything ...

that we dreamed. She and her colleagues are some of the most musically talented people we have ever met, and our guests were so impressed by their performance throughout moments of our wedding. Their existing repertoire was extensive, and they were more than willing to learn any new songs that they had not yet performed as a group. Ariana was also extremely helpful in aiding us to select songs and was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. Their accompaniment to our ceremony and cocktail hour was exactly the elegant element that put our wedding over the top, and Ariana and her colleagues were some of the loveliest, friendliest people we had met – we felt as if we were working with our friends. They were truly a delight to have as a part of our wedding. We will be forever grateful to have worked with Ariana and recommend her a thousand times over!
