Ariana and her team are the best! We had her string trio play for our ceremony at Smith Farm Gardens. Ariana was quick to answer emails and had many phone calls with me. As I navigated planning a wedding during COVID, she was incredibly helpful...
and had so much knowledge not just for music but for the wedding industry in general. She was easy to work with, incredibly professional, and so talented. The music they played was so beautiful and was the perfect touch to our outdoor wedding! I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Ariana Strings and would absolutely recommend her!

Ariana did an amazing job at our wedding and was so great to work with! We changed both our date and venue and Ariana was flexible and understanding through both changes. We had her and a guitarist for our backyard wedding, and it added a beaut...
iful touch to make the event extra elegant. Throughout the process she is quick to respond to emails, and walks you through the whole music selection process with easy to fill out forms. Many of our guests who are getting married soon asked for her information at our wedding as they loved her performance. She and the guitarist performed during the ceremony and cocktail hour and played a great mix of songs. Would definitely recommend her!

ers bridal shower, held at Harkness Eolia mansion this August, such a memorable event!
Ariana Srings played beautifully during the cocktail hour for our guests, and then the party assembled on the terrace, with seating, and programs, treating our guests to a private, 20 minute, mini concert, with 6 of our favorite selections to be performed before heading into dinner. The music was exquisite! It added an elegant touch to the event! Countless compliments! But it was exactly what I had hoped it to be, an enchanted evening!

e very best!
Ariana was a pleasure to work with. Whenever I had a question, she was very prompt and informative with her responses. Ariana helped us curate the perfect ceremony and cocktail hour play list through a series of questionnaires to get to know ...
our musical style. Ariana also set up microphones for our JP and readers. She took every precaution for Covid and made sure the microphones covered to prevent the spread of germs. The guitar and violin combo was such a joy to hear during our day. Many guests complimented us on their beautiful renditions as well. I would definitely recommend Ariana to perform at future weddings. She really elevated the wedding experience.

We chose Ariana Strings to play our ceremony and cocktail hour, but then along came COVID. After postponing our "big" wedding we still had Ariana out (violin + guitar duo) for our micro-wedding at a beach hotel. They were wonderful and Ariana h...
ad no problem moving things around and adjusting as our plans changed. She even suggested adding ceremony sound due to how loud the beach was and it was perfect. My guests complimented the duo and we can't wait to have Ariana Strings play next year at our reception once again! Can't thank Ariana enough, if you're thinking of ceremony music or cocktail hour music look no further than Ariana Strings. A MUST HAVE in my opinion. They were SO accommodating during this crazy time and a perfect addition to our wedding. Thank you!
Ariana was great to work with! Very communicative and responsive, and very attentive to detail. Obviously there were many changes with our wedding because of the current atmosphere, and she was so flexible and willing and able to roll with the ...
punches. She showed up on time (aka a bit early, which was great), played BEAUTIFUL music, and was super professional. I didn't have to worry about a thing :) Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Allison! It was my absolute pleasure to perform for you. My string trio and I are very much looking forward to performing for you again later this year. Thank you again for your kind words and congratulations on your wedding!...
Coming up on our one year anniversary made me look back and think about all the people and places who made our wedding day perfect- and right up there at the top is Ariana Strings. We got married outside and wanted that “Sunday garden party” vi...

People kept saying “I would have never thought about that- but what a great touch!!” Highly recommended. It changed the entire vibe of our wedding!! Ariana was so easy to work with, she knew exactly what I was looking for and made everything effortless. Thank you Ariana and team for making my wedding day perfect!!

Thank you so much, Natalie! I can't begin to tell you how much this brightens my day. I'm so happy to hear that we've been able to help you during this unprecedented time and we absolutely cannot wait to perform for you!
Ariana is an angel. My now-husband and I had to cancel our wedding celebration because of the pandemic, so we decided to do an “elopement” of sorts with just our parents present. Even though it was the tiniest ceremony, having Ariana there as a...
soloist made the day feel as special as it was. The music was gorgeous, and — after playing her set — she improvised in the best possible way by giving us a song for our first dance! She is so talented, kind, professional, and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone, especially if you are in a situation like ours where you just want to get married already!
Ariana’s music is truly beautiful to listen to. She is so extremely talented and such a wonderful person. We were very fortunate to have her play at our wedding. We received many compliments from our guests. She made the atmosphere very ro...

I don’t have enough time or words to express how fantastic Ariana Strings is! My fiancé... excuse me... HUSBAND... and I got married on Saturday and Ariana Strings performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour. The whole team was punctual, pr...

Ariana was such a pleasure to work with and she ensured that her team had everything they needed to make sure our day flowed smoothly. She was very prompt whenever I E-mailed with any questions and she even gave me some wonderful recommendations when we were torn on song choices. We got SO many complements on how lovely the music was. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, no questions asked. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping to make our wedding dreams come true.

We were searching for musicians to play for our ceremony and a friend of my father-in-law recommended Ariana Strings. From the moment I listened to the samples from their site I knew they would be perfect. Their sound is so beautiful and Ariana...
is incredibly kind. She was in constant communication any time I had a question. She even face timed with me when I was in between songs and played them live since one song was not on her website to help me decide. She made the experience very pleasant and I would recommend her over and over again.

They were absolutely wonderful. We chose a violin and guitar combo for our beach wedding, and it added an elegance to our ceremony that made all the guests really happy. The musicians handled everything - they had their own sound system and c...
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!
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2019

Ariana Strings did an amazing job at my wedding at Wadsworth Mansion on 7.20.2019. I selected the violin and guitar duo. I requested a specific list of songs for cocktail hour and for the ceremony and they played and learned each and every one ...
of them. The original guitarist was injured but the replacement guitarist was very friendly and made sure it sounded perfect. It was also the hottest day of the year and due to the extreme heat we had to reconstruct a plan to make sure the instruments would not get out of tune for the ceremony. I received tons of compliments. Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for booking our violin and cello duet for your Easter service. It was such a pleasure!
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!

ceremony (gives me anxiety just thinking about it)...but Ariana and the trio KILLED it. We had about 30 people come up to us saying how beautiful their performance was. They were absolute perfection and made me the happiest bride on Saturday!
Ariana and her trio were incredible for our wedding! She was SO easy to work with and the sweetest person ever. We even made a mistake (completely our fault) and changed the time 1-2 months out and they were able to be flexible. She is very org...
anized and made the process fun and easy instead of a stressful "to-do." Thank you so much Ariana, I highly recommend anyone looking for BEAUTIFUL music and and super professional vendor to go with Ariana and her fellow musicians!
Ariana and the string trio that we booked for our August wedding were professional and responsive. They even played a song that was not typically on their repertoire.
They set the stage for a beautiful ceremony and I'd definitely recommend them...

I had a string duet play at my church wedding instead of an organist, and we couldn't have been more happy! Ariana and her team are professional, and extremely talented! They were so easy to work with, and very responsive. I would highly recomm...
end using them for your wedding or event! Their music was absolutely beautiful, and really helped set the mood of our special day. I was nervous at first not having an organist for hymns, but Ariana knew how to play the one I wanted and it was amazing!
Thank you SO much!
I am so happy Ariana Strings preformed at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Ariana and the guitarist (I'm sorry, I can't remember his name) added so much emotion and warmth to our special day. Making decisions for every aspect of our w...
edding was overwhelming. I asked Ariana to chose the perfect musical pieces when we spoke prior to our wedding and she nailed it! The music they played prior and during our ceremony was heartwarming and meaningful. They music they played during our cocktail hour was very entertaining! Ariana Strings added a level of intimacy to our sizable wedding. My guests felt so welcomed while they waited for our ceremony and we all loved the music during cocktail hour. Thank you so, so much Ariana!!
We had a vineyard wedding and needed pre-ceremony music and ceremony music. I cant say just how happy I am that we went with Ariana. We opted to go with the guitarist and violinist and they were absolutely perfect for our 150 guests. My husband...
and I really wanted to do some nontraditional/modern music and they didn't hesitate to make it happen! More over, we had originally requested a cellist and violinist but given our song choice for the processional ("Fix You"), Ariana recommended we change the cellist to a guitarist to allow for a sound more true to the song. I appreciated her honesty and professionalism throughout all of our conversations!
It is safe to say that I would recommend Ariana Strings without a doubt to anyone looking for beautifully played music!

Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback, Elaine! It was such a pleasure to meet and work with you. Congratulations on your wedding and best wishes!
Ariana's music was the perfect prelude to our niece's wedding. And during the time of appetizers before dinner they played music that moved us & other couples to dance! She saw the music that we were all enjoying and continued the genre.

Thank you so much, Kaitlin! We had a wonderful time performing for your ceremony and truly appreciate your kind words. Congratulations and best wishes to you and Frank! :)
I had Ariana play the violin for my wedding ceremony at the Wadsworth Mansion in June. Her amazing talent set the tone for my wedding, and everyone could not stop talking about how awesome she was. Ariana was so sweet, patient, and professional...

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jade! It was such an honor to be a part of your beautiful ceremony in the rose garden. Congratulations on your wedding and best wishes to you and Malcolm!
Ariana was responsive and easy to work with. We had a soloist at the wedding and she was able to come in and practice in person at Ariana's studio. I sat in on the rehearsal and they definitely knew their stuff. I was glad to work with such tal...

Thank you so much, Lauren! My guitarist and I had such a wonderful time getting to know you and to perform with your *phenomenal* vocalist. It was such a fun collaboration and I'm so glad you were pleased! Congratulations and best wishes!
I am very upset about the unprofessionalism of Ariana. I met Ariana at a vendor event in April and she seemed very pleasant and helpful at the time. She took our information down and emailed us within a week with all of her package informatio...
n, which was great. But after that, I felt that she was very hard to get a hold of and it seemed like she didn't care about my business. Now it did take us about three weeks to decide if we wanted instruments for our ceremony but I still don't think that should have been an issue seeing that our wedding wasn't till the following year. It is now the end of June and we still haven't heard back from her. In between this time period I sent several emails, which took her awhile to answer and in her email its states answers within 72 hours. My mom also tried calling and left a message, which was never returned. Now this should have been a red flag but because I have heard great things about her I wanted her to play at my ceremony so I kept trying to a get hold her. Finally she sent me a questionnaire to fill out and told me to send it back and she will send me a contract. I filled out the questionnaire as soon as she sent it to me on 6/13 and I never heard back from her. It's very upsetting and stressful trying to book all your vendors and when one person is being difficult it makes it more stressful then it needs to be. I would have rather her tell me she can't do it then play this back and fourth game with me.
Ariana of Ariana Strings was simply a pleasure to work with. We selected her violin and cello ensemble for our CT wedding, and on our big day, Ariana and her colleague were promptly on time and they were both very professional. We opted for no ...
microphone during our ceremony, and their lovely music carried throughout the garden without a problem. Our guests commented that the string music was not only classically beautiful to listen to, but the timing was spot-on as our bridal party walked down the aisle. Ariana's pre-wedding consultation via Skype was also perfect for my husband and I, since we live in Colorado and planned everything from a distance and first met her on the day of our wedding. She is patient with questions, and knows scores so well, she has excellent suggestions to create the ceremony "feel" you are looking for. I highly, highly recommend!
Ariana was amazing!!
Ariana played a beautiful solo while my wedding party & I walked down the aisle. It was a surprise to my husband. We are both musicians so I knew it would be a real tear jerk-er for him :) and it was. He told me how beau...
tiful it was the entire trip to the venue in our limo together. I'm so glad I had Ariana be a part of my wedding.
She was so professional and even fixed a few sound/technical problems that I had left her with by accident (my fault). But she fixed them and carried on and I didn't even find out about any of it until way after the fact. I had know idea that she had saved the day... at least musically :)
I also really loved the time we spent together during our consultation. It was the first time I had anyone explain to me what my timeline should be like for the wedding day. I had no idea what I was doing until I met up with Ariana. She also roughly played through the song I had picked out and it gave me a chance to hear it. Oh so beautiful. All in all... 5 stars! Went off without a hitch. Thank you so much Ariana!!
I went to college with Ariana and remembered her when it was time to find a ceremony musician for our wedding at Harkness Memorial State Park. She is a true professional and a beautiful person inside and out. Her playing was gorgeous and helped...

Ariana was absolutely amazing for our wedding. People couldn't stop talking about how beautifully the ceremony music was. I would highly recommend her for your special day :)
Ariana played beautifully during our wedding ceremony! She was sooo incredibly easy to work with and a consummate professional. Our guests were in love with the music she played as were we!

looking for that perfect elegant ceremony!
The Bridesmaids and I were stuck in traffic...we were late. Another family member was also late so total we were 45 mins behind. Ariana and her violinist played anyway, without skipping a beat. I was told by several guests that you would never...
have known the ceremony wasnt on time due to the girls prelude being continuous. Also I had numerousonlookers as it was at a public beach ask who they were and tell me they were ffabulous. I am grateful to them fo not skipping a beat. But also sad that the loudest beat I heard was my own heart. Definitely worth every cent and will use them again if I ever get a chance. THANK YOU SO MUCH ARIANA!!!!!!

I am extremely lucky to have been referred to Ariana. We only had to meet (via Skype! great for busy schedules) once for me to know that she was awesome/talented! My husband and I were clueless with what we wanted to play during our Ceremony b...
ut Ariana rectified that in under 40 minutes. She played various pieces and based on what we liked she played similar samples for us to choose from. During that one meeting we picked out all the music selections for the perfect Ceremony!! Ariana did a phenomenal job and set the tone for a truly ethereal day - Thank You!!!!
Ariana was so friendly and helpful from the very beginning. We were looking for some non-traditional ceremony music which she graciously agreed to learn and play for us on our wedding day (for a very fair price). She played beautifully and we a...

We had Ariana perform along with one other musician for our ceremony as well as our cocktail hour. We did not live in the area that the wedding was so we Skyped with her to meet her and go over details. She played for us over Skype and we were ...
very impressed by her skills. We had mentioned that we were interested in bluegrass music but after paying her we learned that it would be an additional cost which was frustrating. We never actually met her since she left after the cocktail hour but the music during the ceremony was beautiful and we assume it was great during the cocktail hour too (we were taking photos). She was the only vendor that didn't adjust her price even though we were paying for the wedding ourselves and we were having a Friday night winter wedding but we loved her skills so much that we still chose to go with her. Overall, she is very talented.
Ariana's performance added the perfect touch to my brother's backyard wedding ceremony. We received tons of compliments on her music and highly recommend her.
I hired Ariana for my best friends wedding in June and she really was perfect. She sounded amazing and made the day a complete success. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ariana and the musicians she works with (we had her string trio for our ceremony) were awesome. Tons of song options and Ariana was really sweet! Highly recommend!
Ariana was professional and so fun to work with for our wedding. We went over familiar songs and she suggested some that we never thought of. Todd and I requested a special song and she had no problem getting the sheet music and playing it fo...

Ariana was great to work with - from the first meeting via Skype where we heard her play, through all of the questions and changes we made at the last minute! She was great at offering advice and was so easy going throughout the whole process.
We used Ariana and asked her to bring a flutist and celloist with her as well to play. They did a wonderful job! The ceremony was extra special because they were playing instead of having a CD play. She is an amazing violinist!!!! The best!
Ariana played at our wedding and she was absolutely wonderful. I first met her at a bridal show and got to her her play. From that moment I knew that she was the one for our venue. Ariana is such a talented individual and all of our guests were...
amazed with her performance. She has such a great personality and is so sweet! If your undecided on a song, she works with you to make sure everything comes together perfectly and that your day is magical. Thank you for making our wedding such a wonderful and and memorable event! I would absolutely recommend her for any occasion.

y. It was raining on the day of our wedding so we had to switch our ceremony indoors and it started half an hour late. Ariana rolled with the punches and played flawlessly the entire time. She is a very talented violinist, and a true professional.
You can review everything ok Skype. She is so knowledgable and personable! The ceremony was amazing with her music and she planned everything perfectly!

I started playing the violin at age 4 and I never imagined that it'd take me all over the world. I've performed in a symphony at Carnegie Hall and internationally as a soloist and chamber musician. I hold my Master of Music degree in Violin Performance with Suzuki Pedagogy Emphasis . When I'm not playing weddings, you'll find me performing with 6 of Connecticut’s premier symphony orchestras as well as playing in Broadway national tours and operas. I also teach violin to about 15-20 children at my private studio. Away from work, I'm a wife, dog mom, and Jetsetter.
