We had a string trio from Columbia River join us for our NYE wedding and they hands down created the most romantic, wonderful tone for the entire evening. I couldn't dream of a more perfect start to our amazing day. The moment I walked down t...

he aisle as I heard their amazing music playing, it was just a moment I will never forget. From the very beginning, Rebecca was ABSOLUTELY amazing to work with.. and trust me, we surely tested her patience with our Covid rescheduling and such. But after a year plus, we did it and Rebecca helped make it feel like a breeze. The musicians arrived in tuxedos as requested (can you believe that?!)... with smiles on their faces and they were so talented. If you're wondering if you can have strings and a DJ or Band later, let me tell you... you absolutely can and Rebecca will help you make it feel seamless. Trust me, you want this amazing company to be a part of your special day.

We had been in communication with Columbia River Strings for a good 8 months prior to our wedding date. I had created a list of songs we selected and the order in which to have them played. However, on the day of our wedding I was asked by on...

e of the musicians for the songs and the order - so there seems to be a lack of a communication between the booking agent and the musicians. Even after reiterating the order, the songs selected for the ceremony were still played in the incorrect order. Further, we had paid for an hour. In total the trio played maybe 20 minutes - packing up shortly after playing a song or two after the ceremony wrapped up and left. The musicians were very kind and played beautifully, which is why I am still giving 4 stars, but I am disappointed in the amount of time that was played and the miscommunication.

I am so glad I chose to have this string band come to our wedding. They were fantastic. They were very easy to book and pay for online, they showed up on time and dressed professionally. But best of all, they played BEAUTIFULLY! I had them play...

for the welcome 30 minutes before ceremony, the actual ceremony and then the cocktail hour after. They were seriously the best. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. My guests loved them and it was really a nice and intimate touch to the ceremony. I can't wait to get back the video of the wedding so I can hear them play again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We hired a violin and cello player from the Columbia River Strings and they were everything I imagined and more. Communication was super easy and their website is a wonderful tool for song selection. I highly recommend using them.

We were planning our daughter's wedding long distance since we don't live in Oregon, so had to go on faith that what we saw on their website was what we would get the day of the ceremony. We were not disappointed, the music was beautiful and M...

itchell was courteous, responsive and very easy to work with. He planned the music selections directly with the bride and groom and they are very versatile in what they can play.
