The Buffalo Heartstrings Quartet were an incredible group. We had our wedding at a winery in Geneva,NY and it was the perfect setting for a wonderful Quartet. This quartet in particular is unique. When booking with them, Karlee was so wonderful. She was sweet, kind, and listened to all of our request. She seemed so excited for our special day. On the day of the wedding they played beautifully. They are incredibly talented! We received so many compliments on the music. It was everything I dreamed of. They made my wedding the perfect dream wedding.

Karlee and the Buffalo heartstrings were absolutely wonderful! Karlee was super easy to communicate with. The strings were absolutely beautiful during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone loved the live music and they really added a simple elegance to our wedding day. I highly recommend them for any special occasion you are having, especially a wedding! You will not be disappointed.

About this vendor

Vendor
Karlee Lewis
COORDINATOR
Buffalo Heartstrings Quartet is an ensemble of talented musicians that come together to bring a live soundtrack for your event. Classically trained musicians bring decades of combined experience to create a live performance that will impress your guests and personalize your event. Perhaps the only thing as harmonious as a newlywed couple is the sound of two violins, a viola, and a cello playing beautiful music together. Buffalo Heartstrings Quartet is led by Buffalo native and cellist, Karlee Lewis. Clients collaborate with Karlee to personalize their song list. If you are more of a jazz and pop fan than a Mozart enthusiast, the team will customize their set to your tastes. If there is a song that holds particular importance to you, they will be happy to learn it in advance. There is something truly unique and emotional about the sound of four instruments played live in perfect harmony.

nowledge and professionalism. I had a vision for our music and Karlee along with her team exceeded any expectations I had. The string quartet was such a beautiful addition to our wedding. Karlee and her team played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I was able to choose songs from their very impressive list, but they also played a few hymns that are special to me. Our guests are still complimenting the music from our big day. I cannot thank Buffalo Heartstrings enough for being such a special part of our wedding day.
