ck-up microphone for our officiant—which we had to use. Alexander was helpful and responsive. We're so glad this group played at our special day!

some of their more modern covers and they were so good that we also had to have them for our cocktail hour.

r our ceremony, which made the evening even more memorable. Our guests loved the quartet and complimented their musical ability. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Art-Strings Ensemble!

how. Then they sat in the sanctuary as guests walked in to take their seats for the ceremony. So many people complimented me on this addition and they were worth every single damn penny. They made my walk down the aisle so romantic and beautiful and I cried listening to them. Their service, attention to detail, responsiveness to emails, it all made him so easy to work with. The best of the best!

our ceremony and cocktail hour too. Alexander was very easy to work with and quickly replied to all communication. They can play essentially anything you request! Their rates are completely fair too. I highly recommend booking Art Strings Ensembles for your wedding!!

They were very complimentary on Art Strings performance . The ensemble can play any gendre requested . They truly were one of the highlights of our event

mony. They were amazing! Many of our guests complimented them as well. I wish we could have had them play longer. Alexander was vey helpful and was able to accommodate my song choices. I also love that they offer so many sample tracks on their website. I highly recommend Art-Strings. If you're hesitating, dont...book them!

hand holding to put on the perfect show. From songs like 'Unchained Melody' from the movie Ghost to 'Fault in Our Stars' by Coldplay, the team plays a vast range of songs for any couple. We provided Alex with a list of must-play ceremony songs and they put on a beautiful performance. We used their awesome posted YouTube songs as initial thought starters, and were able to request additional songs not on their playlist. So many of our guests commented on their professionalism and passionate performance afterwards. Highly recommend hiring this group for your upcoming event - they created the perfect ambiance to kickstart our special day!

bration and our guests thoroughly enjoyed listening to their varied musical selections. Highly Recommended !! You will not be disappointed!!

for a string quartet!

music and boy did they deliver , my guest were blown away and surprised by the modern and contemporary songs they played - Black in Black, Stairway to Heaven, Crazy Train to name a few. The guys were really professional and were able to deliver on all of our request...even with my husbands crazy request of O Fotuna as he pulled up on his motorcycle and made his entrance to the wedding alter(we had an outdoor wedding). We had the Best Day Ever and we are so glad Art-Strings were part of it!

ustomized to us, our guests are still talking about it!! I would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married!

nd the cocktail hour. They were unbelievably accommodating, even when we needed to make a last-minute change to the contract. Moreover, they arrived promptly and fully prepared, took a copy of our agenda and went about their business with zero fuss and zero issues. Absolute professionals! Several guests commented on how good they were and grabbed their cards after the reception. So, needless to say, I recommend Arts String to anyone looking to get married in the New York Area. (Also worth noting how totally affordable they were. Best bang for your buck by far!)

al and everything was timed perfectly. We fully enjoyed having them there and our guests felt the same. Great choice!

r then the contracted amount of time because all of my guests decided to show up a half an hour after the scheduled start time. They didn't even ask for an additional payment (which i didn't realize until after the wedding, since I was so caught up in the day!) Everyone was raving about them and they provided the perfect ambiance to my garden wedding! Thank you guys so much for making my day amazing!

browsing the NY area quartets we found ASE and they seemed perfect! Dealing with them was mostly pleasant (replies and returning calls took a little while) and over all we were very confident! At the wedding they didn't play most of the songs we selected (part of their repertoire in their website) and played mostly the classical music during cocktail our, it was unfortunate because we were really looking forward to it. They are top Notch musicians and we were pleased, but we did not get what we wanted from them :(

sional, prompt and played beautiful music. Funny though, as I was walking down the aisle, I could barely hear them play because I was so focused on my husband that I blocked everything else out! I really did enjoy having them play at our wedding and would recommend them to anyone who wants this elegant touch to their ceremony.

o for the entire reception. The music throughout the wedding was so romantic and beautiful and impressive! We felt extremely lucky to have them in our wedding, because their music amazed all my guests, and they are extremely professional and friendly and very easy to work with. A lot of my guests comlimented our music after the wedding. My husband and I are so happy to have Alexander and Art-String and we highly recommend them for your upcoming wedding or event. I hope to work with them again in the near future.

ynton Marsalis's version of Eternal Source of Light Divine. The quartet played beautifully. All of my wedding guests complimented their professionalism and talent.

layed, and left it up to Alex, who did a wonderful job. Our guests commented on how wonderful an addition the music was to the whole day. We definitely recommend Art Strings to anyone looking for an elegant addition to a social event. They're fantastic!

finitely liked the music they played. Mr Alex Abayev we thank you for your time we truly enjoyed the music you played. This will be truly memorable for us. We highly recommend you for your great professionalism."

aking our day even more special

and we both were very happy with their service. I would recommend them to anyone and will most definitely use them again if the occasion ever calls for it!

comfortable with him. Every time I called or emailed he was very quick to get back to me. The day of my wedding I heard the music (harp & violin) as I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and I became a little emotional because it sounded so beautiful! There's something about 'Canon in D' being played live that always gets me. Overall I would definitely recommend Art-Strings. They were accommodating, reasonably priced, and sounded great!

r!!! We will absolutely recommend them to everyone. Our guests could not stop talking about not only how wonderful they sounded, but what an elegant and classy touch they provided. They raved about the music and how perfect the sound was. Thank you Alex, you are amazing!!! Michelle & Dennis McCrady 07-30-2010

nd everybody attended the wedding are highly appraised the musician as they noticed the differences. First, Alex has been very cooperative and always quickly response to our questions and requests. He had been working very hard to answer our requests or accommodate our needs. Second, since my wife and I are both from Asia, we had some different traditions to perform our own music at the wedding. I asked Alex if they can perform the music of our own in the wedding, and most important, to perform our own music as Bridal Processional Music. Alex said yes. We find score for him and needless to say, a little concerned, especially the music was oriented from piano. But when we received the sample of violin performance from Alex, we were so happy! The performance was just outstanding! Alex and his partner actually played 3 music that we chose from our own culture, that they probably never heard of, and their performance are all phenomenal. The music at our wedding is one of our best memory and I am sure we will enjoy to watch our videos again and again with the background music played by Art-strings!

rmance, their prompt and easy communication and their extreme professionalism. We received so many compliments on their performance and I am so greatly appreciative to have had them as part of our special day. A great ingredient to our perfect wedding. Thanks to Alexander and Art-Strings! We hope to have the chance to use your services again! Highly recommend them and hope to post a video of them performing in the near future.
