I would give more stars if I could! Jared is beyond amazing. It was just so special. He learned like 15 songs for me, he was professional, worked with all my last minute request. I mean just absolutely everything I could ask for. Think no further and book Jared!!

Working with Jared Judge couldn't have been easier or more fun! He is very accommodating. His music is unique, special, lively and very joyful -- and his presence is fun and relaxed. He was the perfect compliment to our venue and gathering for our son's wedding. He played during the cocktail hour, and then throughout dinner more quietly; he allowed us to use his speaker and microphone for toasts which was SO easy; and he played again afterwards during the event wind-down. Well worth every penny! I cannot recommend using Jared highly enough -- his work and presence is magnificent -- and will see him again in our future!

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Based in Denver, CO, Extreme Strings Electric Violins is a wedding entertainment company featuring professional musicians to add an emotional and entertaining flourish to your wedding day. Led by PopRock Electric Violinists Jared Judge, we look forward to providing a spectacular soundtrack to your celebration. Imagine walking down the aisle to the beautiful sounds of your favorite melody by Ed Sheeran, Christina Perri, Bruno Mars, Journey, The Beatles, or Elvis.
Perfect for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, Extreme Strings Electric Violins is available to provide the best in Top 40, Classic Rock, R&B, Latin, Sinatra, The Piano Guys, Bridgerton, and more of your romantic and party favorites for important moments of your wedding experience. We take requests and offer start-to-finish planning assistance via our website to ensure a smooth performance for your ceremony and beyond.
Our standard performance includes 30 minutes of prelude music as the guests arrive to set a nice tone for the event. We will provide the perfect piece for your procession up the aisle, giving you a grand, dramatic entrance. We will play selections during the service, such as during a unity candle lighting or other special moments during the service, and during the recessional, when the two of you march back up the aisle and off into the sunset. We will play one or two pieces as the guests leave for your reception, then add a cocktail hour selection to get the party started. We want you to have everything you’ve dreamed of on your special day.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Jared from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful music you provided at our wedding. Your performance on the electric violin was absolutely s...
tunning….both during the ceremony and throughout the cocktail hour. Everything sounded perfect, and you truly helped make the day feel magical and unforgettable.
We were especially impressed by your incredible song library. You have the very best selections, and every piece you played fit the mood so perfectly! Our guests kept commenting on how amazing you were!
If anyone is looking for exceptional live music for their event, we will wholeheartedly recommend you and
Extreme Strings. You are truly talented and a joy to work with.
Thank you again for sharing your gift with us on our special day.

Jared was absolutely amazing and truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He played the violin during our ceremony, reception, dinner, and cake cutting, and every m...
oment was perfect.
He was extremely professional throughout the entire process. We had several Zoom meetings before the wedding to go over the playlist and details, which made everything feel very organized and stress-free. He knows an incredible amount of songs, and the ones he didn’t know, he practiced especially for our wedding!
Jared is not only incredibly talented, but also very kind, easy to work with, and super friendly. We felt so comfortable working with him from start to finish. I highly recommend him — he is truly the best!

our special day and reached out to him early as we wanted to ensure that he was available for our day. Working with Jared was a joy and I loved discussing song selections for all parts of the ceremony and cocktail hour. All of our guests were blown away by his performance and are still talking about how great he was and how having live music added to our wedding and is something that they won't forget. If you're even thinking of having live music for a part of or all of your special day, definitely reach out to Jared, you won't be disappointed.

ments on the music...it set the tone perfect - especially with the violin version of many modern pop songs that were recognizable yet sounded divine.

as covered by our DJ, we knew we wanted our guests to have a unique live music experience and it was clear from our planning conversations with Jared that Extreme Strings would offer just that. Our violinist, Ashley, welcomed guests with the ceremony prelude and then relocated to our cocktail hour, entertaining them with an hour of hits from her awesome pink electric violin! One of our only regrets as bride and groom on wedding day is not having built time into our post-ceremony schedule to have watched Ashely for longer. She was the highlight of the night for so many of our guests and we can't imagine wedding day without her talented performance.

Jared was such an awesome addition to our wedding day! He played solo during the ceremony/cocktail hour and then fusion style with our DJ during the reception. He’s such a natural ...
and has a talent for interacting on the dance floor without taking the attention away from the couple. Our guests absolutely loved him! Many at our wedding are professional musicians themselves and were absolutely obsessed to have such a fun talented person playing at our wedding. I highly recommend booking Jared for I next occasion!

try Club. We are so grateful for his flexibility and willingness to create the best experience for our members and guests. Jared is seriously one of the best violinists I've heard (coming from a former violinist) and his tone, sound, song choices, and set up were right on par. He came dressed for the part and his routine of setup/takedown is extremely organized and tasteful (he also arrived early which helped the entire experience go very smooth). He is a true gentleman and I'm sure he creates an unforgettable experience for anyone he plays for at his events (as well as his team). Thanks again!
