Four Shore Strings provided amazing music during my wedding ceremony!! They were super easy to work with from the start, very prompt and friendly, asked the right questions to ensure proper song selection/timing, and have a huge repertoire but ...

also can accommodate specific song requests if they don't already know it. It is important to have the right song when walking down the aisle, and have it played well, and they 100% lived up to their high reviews. If you're looking for a romantic string quartet to make your big day memorable, look no further!
