AVIVA Strings

The AVIVA musicians were professional and adept. They played the music I suggested and greatly enhanced our wedding cocktail hour. I had many complimentary comments about them and would recommend them highly.

Amazing experience!! We were thrilled with the music! It really was that extra touch that made our day extra special! Highly recommend!

Bravo Aviva Strings! Our Aviva Strings trio played at our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and they were AMAZING!!!! Jessica is the consummate professional; she guided us through every detail including music selection. Everyone at our micro wedding (and those watching on ZOOM) commented on wonderful the music was and how it set the "tone" for the perfect wedding celebration. I absolutely recommend Aviva Strings for your special event.

We hired Aviva Strings by searching for wedding music and chose them by the reviews. But to be honest, the reviews don't do them justice. Jessica was our violinist, and the one word everyone kept using to describe her talent was 'amazing'. She was so responsive to our many, many requests and questions, but never made us feel like we were a bother. She even went out of her way to call the venue to request permission on something extra for us. There are not enough words to express our gratitude and appreciation for her talent and kindness to us.

I had been in contact with Jessica for months leading up to our big day. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and so easy to work with. We went with a string trio that performed our ceremony and cocktail hour. They placed the exact songs we wanted and sounded incredible. Listening to the trio beautifully play The Flower Duet as my bridesmaids walked down the aisle and the stirrings of Pachelbel’s Canon in D as I began down the aisle with my father, was the cherry on top of that specific moment in time. I heard from our guests that they thoroughly enjoyed the performance during cocktail hour as well! Thank you Aviva Strings for helping make our day magical!

We chose AVIVA Strings to play during our wedding ceremony and it was simply beautiful. Jessica handled everything very professionally and the violinist that played was amazing! Arrived promptly and played beautifully!

The music from Aviva Strings was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. Jessica was very easy to work with, accommodating, and helped make our wedding dreams come true. We had a violin, guitar and vocalist for our ceremony, which included two custom arrangements, and the musicians then played though cocktail hour. Aviva will always hold a very special place in my heart. I had been calm all day before our ceremony, not particularly emotional. However, as soon as I heard the custom arrangement begin, before I walked down the aisle - tears. The beautiful music struck a chord in my heart and is one of the most poignant and lovely memories of our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend Aviva Strings for any wedding or event where you want a personal touch.

Aviva Strings did such an incredible job with providing ceremony music! Their string trio was so talented and we loved their performance. Jessica was so easy to communicate with and helped us choose the songs that suited us best. I would definitely recommend them for anyone's big day!

Jessica and her team at AVIVA Strings were wonderful to work with from the very beginning. They we're organized and accommodating, making sure they answered every question we had in a timely manner. We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony and cocktail hour, and we have AVIVA to thank. They brought the atmosphere to a whole new level and I kept getting compliments on how much their talents added to the day. Thank you!

AMAZING! Unfortunately I never got to speak with the strings trio as the only time I was in the same room as them was as I was walking up and down the aisle! The strings trio performed during my ceremony and cocktail hour and my guests said they were absolutely perfect. I truly wish I could have been around to enjoy their music as much as my guests did, but was thrilled to hear that they were on time, professional, and played beautiful music (both classic and contemporary!) Thanks Aviva, my guests loved you and the moment I was walking down the aisle... I loved you as well! You truly made that moment even more emotional than I anticipated and I want to thank you for making it such a concrete memory - and a beautiful one at that.

AVIVA Strings has been absolutely wonderful to work with! Jessica was so helpful and responds to questions right away! The ceremony music was so beautiful, we choose to do a custom song and it came out perfect! It was everything I dreamed it to be!

AVIVA was absolutely wonderful! I booked them to perform at our cocktail hour and we loved them! From the minute I contacted them until after our wedding, Jessica was incredibly professional, responsive, kind, and accommodating. They even performed a custom arrangement for us - the fight song from my husband's alma mater - and it was such a big hit. AVIVA can perform such a wide variety of songs that you'll definitely be able to find something to please everyone. Having them added such a classic ambiance to our cocktail hour and I wish I could host another event just to be able to hire them again. You will NOT be disappointed if you hire them. They're worth every penny!

My wife and I chose AVIVA Strings do play for 30 minutes leading up to, as well as our ceremony. We went with the quartet and could not have been more pleased! They were prompt, professional and played beautifully. My wife loved choosing the pieces for parts of the ceremony and they adjusted to her wishes. Really made our wedding so special! Would highly recommend.

Great list of music to choose from! Very happy with the trio, the strings were a perfect addition to our ceremony.

Aviva Strings was incredible - the music was perfect and we loved the more modern, up-beat music played by the string ensemble. I would highly recommend them!

They made my ceremony a dream come true. Absolutely beautiful! The only thing they could have done better was smoother, and faster transitioning between songs. It felt like forever before they started the prelude music after my groomsmen had already walked down the isle. Not sure if that was just because I was so wrapped up in the moment or what lol. Overall I was very pleased with their performance and don’t regret spending all that I did for them to come. Highly recommend!

AVIVA Strings, more specifically Jessica, was very professional and talented! She played beautifully and our guests loved the music from start to finish. She helped make our special day beautiful and cherished! Thank you so much! We highly recommend AVIVA Strings!

Jessica was amazing to work with. She is incredibly prompt with emailing. The forms they have and the payment methods are all really easy. Lastly, we asked them to arrange a song for us (Brandi Carlile’s the story) and they did a phenomenal job. There was an accident the day of our wedding - one of the string quartet hit a tree. Can’t blame them, I got married in the middle of the woods. The trio was able to calmly rearrange, get organized and sounded amazing. Even the arranged song, which they probably practiced as a quartet. They refunded us the difference. Couldn’t be more pleased with this selection.

We chose the trio ensemble for our ceremony music and everyone was blown away! They did an amazing job and sounded beautiful!!! Jessica was always quick to respond to any of our questions and was so helpful in picking the right ensemble and music choices for our venue. I highly recommend AVIVA strings for your wedding! <3

We had Aviva String perform at our wedding for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The string trio was amazing and the planning process with Jessica was seamless! Aviva Strings has such a large repertoire that you can pick and choose exactly what you want! Highly highly recommend!

We used AVIVA for ceremony and dinner music at our wedding and they were amazing! To begin with, Jessica was so responsive throughout the whole process, and really bent over backwards to help us get the experience we were looking for. She made our lives so much easier and was great to work with. And on top of that, the group has a great song list with a lot of variety. I got tons of comments from my guests on how great the music was. I highly recommend AVIVA to anyone looking for strings music!

We hired AVIVA Strings to play the piano during our cocktail hour and our guests had such great things to say! Jessica was so fantastic to communicate with before/during/after the process - I would recommend AVIVA in a heartbeat!

AVIVA strings played for our wedding in September, and they were absolutely incredible! The trio made our ceremony extra special by playing beautiful songs chosen by us :) Jessica was such a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend!

My wife and I used Aviva Strings to play at our wedding ceremony on September 30, 2017 at The Inn at Woodloch in Hawley, PA. We reviewed several musicians very thoroughly before deciding on Aviva Strings and we could not be happier. They played beautifully, just loud enough to provide the perfect backdrop for our wedding, but just quiet enough that I got to focus fully on my bride and our special day. Aviva Strings has a very wide-ranging repertoire and it was very easy to pick exactly the music we wanted for our ceremony. They were also very flexible and even wrote a custom arrangement for us for a modest $75 fee. We wanted "You Are The Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne for our recessional and, not only did they score it for us, but it came out great! It was the perfect way to cap our wedding. From start to finish, working with Aviva Strings was easy. They were very responsive in the months leading up to the ceremony. Any time we had a question or a request, they answered quickly and made the whole process very easy. Most importantly, on the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing. They came in, set up and packed up all on their own without any hassle. All-in-all, it was a great experience and we would definitely recommend them!

I cannot thank AVIVA Strings enough for the beautiful music they played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Jessica was great to work with from the time of booking until after the event. We left it up to her to pick the music that would be played and they did a great job. We cannot thank you enough!! I highly recommend AVIVA Strings for your next event!

We used a string trio for our ceremony music and we couldn't be more thrilled with Jessica and her team of extremely professional musicians! They have a huge selection of both classical and contemporary repertoire and were even able to learn new pieces. Our guests loved all the songs they played and the trio was even kind enough to take an Instagram pic of our ceremony which ended up being one of our favorite guest photos!

My husband and I decided to book AVIVA strings for our July 2017 wedding. I'm so glad we did! Working with Jessica was a breeze. When I walked into my ceremony hearing Guns and Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" I literally broke down in tears, it sounded so beautiful. Hire AVIVA strings for your wedding and take your event to the next level! We also received so many compliments from our guests. Thanks Jessica and AVIVA strings! :-)

We hired AVIVA strings on short notice, after learning that another band we were using couldn't play any classical music for our ceremony. Despite how late we booked them AVIVA took great care in working with me to select which pieces we wanted played and with what instrumentation. We ended up with a lovely cello-violin duo. I didn't have a chance to meet the musicians on the day of the wedding, but our officiant told me later that he was very impressed with how professional and accommodating they were. They sounded great despite playing in a tent on a rainy day, and they sound good on the video, too. Highly recommend!

AVIVA Strings added so much to our wedding and they were so easy to communicate with. They were very professional and their responsiveness was always very prompt, even though we only booked them for a short ceremony. We had them do a custom arrangement for our recessional and it turned out beautifully. We got so many compliments from guests and family afterwards.

As anyone reading reviews on a wedding website knows, planning a wedding is an overwhelming amount of work. AVVIA and the owner Jessica, is one of those wonderful vendors, who you choose to work with, and they do so much of the planning work for you. From the first step of receiving the quote, all of the information arrived quickly, and all of the details were presented clearly to understand what each option would cost. It made it easy for me to determine that with our budget, music for the prelude & ceremony by a duo would be best, but I was able to clearly see what it would cost for a trio or quartet, what it would cost to add the cocktail hour etc. I got some quotes from other musicians, and not only were they less clear, the thing that was clear is that they were far more expensive. We opted to pay an extra fee for a custom arrangement of one of our favorite songs for our processional, but left up to AVVIA what to play for the prelude selections, and they were all really lovely. I wish that I could say that I had some great interactions with the musicians, but given the short block of time that we booked them for, I never even had the chance to thank them. But, the truth is... that is exactly what you want, is on your wedding day to have people who efficiently arrive, do what they are scheduled to do, and you never have to take time to give them instruction, Jessica made sure that all of the details were perfectly mapped out well in advance. I could not recommend them more highly, having their lovely soundtrack for the most important part of our wedding day was so meaningful, and in the one phone call before the wedding when the stress of everything I had to get done was really settling in, she was so reassuring and offered me some great advice to help stay calm & focused. If you chose to hire AVIVA for your wedding, you will be in very good hands during a time when any stress you can take off your plate is vital!

Aviva was more than I could ask for. Hey we're prompt, professional, and truly added exactly what everyone needs to make their ceremony magical. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

I Would highly reccommend having AVIVA strings at your Wedding or event . I worked with Jessica throughout the entire planning process and she was wonderful. Very organized, professional, and prompt. We choose to have a string trio and the musicians were incredibly talented to say the least, and the love strings really made for a beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony.

My husband and I booked AVIVA Strings to perform at our wedding June 3, 2017. From the very beginning of my corresponding back and forth with Jessica, I knew they would be great. She was timely with responding and answered all of the questions I had for her (and there were quite a few). She paid attention to detail and was very thorough to make sure our day was just as we had envisioned. We had a violinist and guitarist perform our ceremony, cocktail, and dinner. They were so elegant and sounded absolutely amazing, their sounds just flowed so well together. They played a variety of music, which was perfect. We also had custom arrangements played for our ceremony and our first dance, I couldn't have imagined it sounding any more beautiful. It made our special day all the more special. They were great to work with, from start to finish. We were very pleased with our decision of choosing AVIVA Strings to play at our wedding.

AVIVA Strings made our daughter’s wedding celebration extraordinary. Their service was very professional. They were a pleasure to work with, friendly, and made planning very easy. We had their jazz trio for the reception and received many compliments. We really appreciated the atmosphere and class the live trio added and their music was perfect. They sounded amazing! We were very impressed and satisfied.

My husband and I are so pleased we chose AVIVA Strings to play at our ceremony. Your music is elegant and beautiful. Everyone enjoyed listening to you! You're easy to work with and that is exactly what I needed being an overwhelmed bride. It was so nice to meet you all Saturday and I recommend everyone to you!

We recently had a string quartet from Aviva Strings perform at our wedding ceremony, and I cannot even put into words how amazing they made our wedding day. The music was so beautiful and added such a nice touch to our ceremony. My husband and I were extremely happy, and all of our guests complimented us on our music choice. Jessica was fantastic to work with. She made everything so easy for us and was so professional. Highly recommend!

When you are the parents of the bride, you hope to hire vendors whom you can trust to make the day magical and Aviva Strings set the perfect mood for our daughter's wedding. We only had one request - the bride wished to walk down the aisle to Canon in D - otherwise we trusted the musicians to select the music and their selections created the traditional, classical mood we were hoping for. The piano music during the following cocktail hour was modern, upbeat and fun! Jessica was wonderful to deal with - very quick to respond to emails and answer questions. I highly recommend Aviva Strings.

Only great things can be said about AVIVA Strings performance during our wedding. Extremely easy to work with and responds to questions in timely fashion. Highly recommended!!!

Great company, easy to work with. So happy I found them. Musician was awesome!

Aviva Strings were amazing at our wedding ceremony! This was the second time we used them for an event and we will continue to use them in the future! Thank you Jessica for making our day even more special!

I hired a violin soloist for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They helped me to choose music for ceremony-it was truly helpful .The soloist did a beautiful job!

Seriously the easiest vendor to work with. Jessica was prompt in sending out questionnaires and contracts to get us situated, I couldn't believe it was that simple!!!! I didn't get to meet our musicians the day of our wedding, but the music was perfect for our little chapel! I will definitely use AVIVA Strings again in the future! Thank you all for your professionalism and beautiful music! Amy & Chad Wineland

Aviva Strings helped me out when I was in a major bind. My original musician cancelled 2 weeks before my wedding. I reached out to Jessica at Aviva Strings because my venue works closely with her company. With only 2 weeks left before my wedding she found us an incredible violinist to play our ceremony music. Jessica was super quick to respond and reliable. I was very pleased with how beautifully the musician played and so relieved it worked out for the better!! They have an amazing list of songs to choose from. Can't wait to watch our wedding video so I can relive it all again.

AVIVA Strings were Excellent! Very accommodating and amazing music. HIGHLY Recommend.

Outstanding!!! Would highly recommend AVIVA Strings for any event. I had the pleasure to have Jessica as my violinist as a duo with guitarist at my wedding Sunday. Absolutely amazing!!! Jessica is so kind & professional. She is so quick to respond and always helpful with ideas. Anyone who chooses AVIVA Strings will not be disappointed. I know the country club of Scranton will put you at the top of the list for vendors. Thank you again Jessica. Such a joy & honored that you were apart of our day!!! ♡♡♡

AVIVA Strings was a phenomenal addition to our big day; we’re so thrilled to have found them! We contracted a string quartet arrangement to perform our ceremony and cocktail hour music. Jessica and her collaborating musicians are not only extraordinarily talented but a delight to work with. Jessica was very prompt and professional in her communications and easy to work with. AVIVA learned a custom arrangement to meet our vision for my processional, it was perfect. They understood our musical tastes and ensured to incorporate these genres throughout the cocktail hour; from Zac Brown Band, to The Beatles, Dave Matthews and more. Our guests are still complimenting their talents and the ambiance they brought to our day; many have said it was fun to play “name that tune”. Our only complaint is that we did not have the opportunity to hear more of their talent. We highly recommend AVIVA Strings for all of those special celebrations, you won’t be disappointed!

Jessica put together a wonderful string quartet for our ceremony. They sounded beautiful and played contemporary music that we loved. They did not have an arrangement for the song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to, so Jessica wrote an arrangement. It was beautiful! Many of our guests told me they loved the music. Jessica was so wonderful and so much fun to work with. She was patient, funny, and helpful. She listed to what we wanted and made helpful suggestions. I would work with Aviva Strings again in a heartbeat!

We were so pleased that we hired Aviva Strings for our wedding ceremony! They are so talented at their job and extremely professional! We were both pleasantly surprised at how seriously Jessica was taking our wants & concerns. Jessica was so attentive and detailed during the planning phase and throughout the process she made it clear that he was there solely to enhance our day! We received so many unsolicited compliments from our guests about how great they did! I had a special song request; Summer by Calvin Harris that I wanted to walk down the isle to which Aviva Strings did not already know and they learned it for me no problem! They preformed it perfectly! If you want that special touch to your day, hire Aviva Strings!

Aviva was just outstanding start to finish. I am the mother-of-the-bride and I myself am also in the service industry. It is so refreshing to come across vendors who are wonderful in the work and so professional to deal with. Jessica was on top of things organizationally and a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly, they sounded fabulous. You will not be sorry if you hire them as your string quartet. It was a magical evening.

We hired Aviva Stings for a violin and guitar duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was beautiful. It was more than we could have hoped for! Prior to the wedding it was great working with Jessica - very effortless on our part. Jessica was very friendly and easy to work with. She provided great insight and answered any questions I had. Having Aviva strings for our ceremony definitely added a touch of elegance to our Rustic-Elegance themed wedding.

We had 2 musicians (a violin and cello duo) play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were incredible. They were extremely flexible when we had to move to another location due to rain. Jessica was also extremely helpful and informative as we were planning out the details. She is so easy to work with and accommodating to our requests.

We are so pleased that we chose your services for our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. You are by far the best group of musicians we have come across. We would like to sincerely thank you for all the effort you put into making our wedding a memorable event. It was beautiful, and your friendliness and professionalism surpassed our expectations. Forever thankful, Taylor and Gino

We hired a duo violinist/guitarist from Aviva Strigs for our ceremony. The music was beautiful. It was more than we could have hoped for! We received many many compliments from our guests! Would highly recommend!

AVIVA Strings played at our intimate wedding ceremony on 6/20/16 and not only was the music absolutely beautiful, but Jessica was such a pleasure to work with. Everything from our experience prior to the ceremony to the ceremony itself was so smooth and stress-free. The music was perfect and exactly what we had imagined. We can't thank AVIVA Strings enough for everything they did for us. We would highly recommend them to anyone!

Everything was perfect and they were so flexible and accommodating!
