We had the Piano Quartet from Houston String Music play for our outside Garden Wedding Ceremony. The Music was superb, and they were so pleasant and easy to work with. Their professional Keyboard sounded exactly like a Piano and everything was lovely. Canon in D was absolutely beautiful. They were very easy to work with and they truly made our dreams come true!

We would like to positively recommend HOUSTON WEDDING & RECEPTION STRING MUSIC for any Special. Event. We have had their String Quartets, String Trios, and String Duos play for all of our children’s Garden and Church Wedding Ceremonies, Cocktail Hours, Rehearsal Dinners, and several of our family functions. They are very knowledgeable, gracious, and easy to work with planning out the Music whether it is Classical or Popular Contemporary. And every single Musician is truly extremely talented. Indisputably the most beautiful and marvelous Professional Musicians in all of metro Houston.

The String Quartet from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC played for our outdoor garden Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail in The Woodlands area. Their Prelude Music made our entire Ceremony and Wedding Day exquisite with their lovely Music. They are meticulous in everything, from the playing of the Prelude Music before the Ceremony started through their Cocktail Hour of Music. They have an incredible repertoire and are so easy to work with. They are reasonably priced because they are by far the most sought-after Professional Musicians in all of Houston.

The wonderful String Quartet from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC played for our Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. All of our favorite specially requested songs were played from classical music to contemporary popular selections. They arrived early to not only to warm-up but to check-in with everyone and they made sure everyone in our Wedding Party knew the cue to start walking down the aisle. Everything was absolutely perfect with their timing and music. And they gracefully transitioned to our Cocktail Hour and continued playing their beautiful music.

Fantastic Musicians and organization with their outstanding Wedding Music Planner to help us select the music for our Ceremony. Everything was outlined and planned with each Processional from the Officiant, Groom and Groom’s Men to the Flower Girls and Ring Bearer. And, they played beautiful Prelude Music while our guests were being seated which really set the ambiance for our entire evening!

What a pleasure to have such outstanding professional string musicians play for our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. Everyone was so impressed to hear a real live String Quartet from Houston String Music at our outdoor garden Ceremony. Their prelude music set the lovely mood for our entire event. We had all of our favorite processional music for everyone’s entrance and a wonderful unity candle selection. And, the Recessional music was uplifting and joyous. From our very first inquiry, everyone was so easy to work with. All of our Emails, questions were promptly answered, and they stayed in touch throughout the entire planning process. And, above all they have very reasonable rates because they are the most popular string musicians in all of metro Houston.

Rachel L

I ecstatically recommend the highly esteemed Houston Wedding & Reception String Music because they have frequently played for numerous family & friends’ Special Events including Weddings, Receptions, Cocktail Hours, Dinners, and Holiday Parties. All Musicians are professionally trained from outstanding universities and conservatories including Oxford University in England and the Manhattan School of Music to name a couple. They are highly qualified to perform all genres of music from Classical to traditional standards to modern Contemporary selections. From the get-go their communications are straightforward, and Elizabeth, their lead-player and artistic director, is exceptionally knowledgeable and devoted to helping all with astute suggestions.

I recently had the opportunity to share in an outdoor wedding ceremony where the lovely String Duo from Houston String Music managed to play wonderfully touching music despite the drizzly, damp conditions. Regardless of the pandemonium which ensued, the String Duo kept their professional, courteous composure and continued with their charming music. The person in charge was oblivious to the very expensive, exquisite instruments played by the String Duo and decided that they should not sit and play under the covered gazebo. Instead, they had to sit in a wet, muddy field next to the gazebo. When it started to sprinkle again the String Duo was finally allowed to move to the side of the covered gazebo. Unfortunately, this naïve organizer kept interrupting and stopping the musicians’ playing of the processional music and even made them move on and off the gazebo during the ceremony. Even though they had difficult circumstances, the very accomplished and skillful String Duo were exceptionally first-class.

Kathyrn W

4/13/2021

Thank you, Houston Wedding and Reception String Music’s Piano String Trio for providing the most outstanding music for our Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. They played all of our favorite songs from the gorgeous “Claire de Lune” to Bruna Mars’ “Marry You” and naturally played “Canon in D” which was the Mothers’ tear-jerker, of course. “If the mothers’ don’t cry, it’s not exceptionally beautiful enough!” Thank you, Elizabeth and Musicians!!!

We had the good fortune of having a String Duo from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC play for our Wedding & Cocktail Hour. Everything was perfect not only because we had the best of the best Musicians but because they were wonderfully professional with pleasant smiles and attitudes. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with our Special Day!

I am delighted to be a reference and endorse the Musicians from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC as they have played for many of our open houses, receptions, and Wedding Ceremonies for many of our employees and friends. We first heard them play for the US Department of State holiday party held in Houston and have enjoyed hearing them ever since. They are truly one and all fine musicians.

Constance C

We are pleased to recommend HOUSTON STRING MUSIC as we have had them play for several special events during the past couple of years including our son’s Wedding Ceremony and Cocktail Hour, our daughter’s Wedding Ceremony and Reception, and other dinner parties for friends and family. Every single Musician who has played for us was excellent.

Corry H

A String Duo, Violin & Cello, played for our Wedding Ceremony on Saturday evening, April 3rd. The Musicians were punctual and very professional attending to their setting-up and warming-up. Not only did they have a very professional attitude and appearance they played beautifully for all of our Music from the Prelude to the Postlude. They profusely thanked us for having a Wedding Planner who knew what she was doing as far as showing them where to set-up, giving them cues when to start Processional Music, and not interrupting their playing. Apparently, they had an arduous experience earlier in the day with constant interruptions from another Planner causing them to stop playing and starting over and over. Nevertheless, we highly recommend this String Duo from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC because they were very easy & very pleasant to work with during our planning of the Music.

Rosie H

4/06/2021

My friend had an outdoor Wedding Ceremony and a String Duo from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC played very lovely Music for the Prelude, all of the Processionals, Recessional, and Postlude Music. I honestly felt sorry for this String Duo, however, because they were expected to play out in the wet grass when it was sprinkling! The planner finally allowed them to sit in a tiny corner of the covered Gazebo after moving them back and forth. She had incorrectly told them when to start playing and then stopped their playing at all of the wrong times. We felt so sorry for the String Duo being moved around so many times during the Ceremony. Actually, another guest got up and helped them move their equipment! Despite how they were treated, they kept smiling and we enjoyed their Music!

Sumny B

4/06/2021

We recently attended an outdoor Wedding at a friend's house where a String Duo from HOUSTON STRING MUSIC performed. We are actually serious Patrons of the Arts and attend many, many Symphony Concerts, etc. and sincerely loved their Music. They did a wonderful job despite how they were treated and were expected to set-up outside even though there was on-and-off rain. No provisions were made for them to play under a covered Gazebo area. Consequently, they had to move back and forth from the Gazebo so many times that I finally got up to help them move their equipment. During the Ceremony they had to stand in the back behind all of the guests and then run back to their instruments & music to play the Recessional. They went beyond the call of duty and the Music was lovely!!!

Houston String Music's String Quartet played for our Wedding Ceremony, and there could have been nothing 'classier' than having a real live String Quartet. These wonderful Musicians set the mood for the entire day with their beautiful Prelude Music before the Ceremony began. They professionally combined traditional Classical Music with popular Contemporary Music. Houston String Music is very enjoyable and knowledgeable to work with and have been astute to our every wishes.

Julia B

We had a genuine, live Piano Quartet from Houston String Music entertain for our outdoor Wedding Ceremony. They brought their own professional Keyboard which sounded exactly like a Piano. Actually, for “The Swan”, they had it sound as though we had a Harpist playing. What a lovely group of Musicians and so pleasant and easy to work with. Truly a dream come true for me!

Elsie B

We had the good fortune to have the String Trio from Houston String Music play for our Wedding Ceremony in The Woodlands. They arrived early to warm-up and played the most beautiful prelude Music as our guests were being seated prior to the Ceremony. All of the Music was perfect for the Mother’s Processional, Groom’s Men’s Processional, all of my Bride’s Maids’ entrance, and of course my walk down the aisle. We included a Unity Candle Musical selection which was delightful, and our upbeat Bridal Party Recessional was terrific. They also played Music as our guests were leaving the Ceremony area. We had great communications with Elizabeth, and were guided throughout this entire process and event so that our Wedding Ceremony was absolutely unsurpassed. Everyone agrees that our Wedding Ceremony had the best possible Music!

HOUSTON WEDDING STRING MUSIC played for our Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony including prelude & postlude Music, and they played for our Cocktail Hour while we were having our professional photos taken. The guests were especially thrilled to see and hear real live professional Musicians at our Wedding events. Too many Wedding have the recorded DJ Music which makes all of the Ceremonies sound and look alike. HOUSTON WEDDING STRING MUSIC played their own renditions of all of our favorite songs from John Legend, Beatles, and the Cohen “Halleluiah “song was truly beautiful and was played during our Unity Candle Ceremony. Houston Wedding String Music was very knowledgeable about what to have played and where in the Ceremony. They were extremely easy to work with and had very pleasant personalities. They were very affordable I guess because they are constantly playing around the Houston area for Open Houses, Dinner Parties, & Corporate Banquets besides their Wedding Events. Book them ASAP because they are starting to reserve 2020 dates!

Thank you, Houston String Music, for the beautiful Music you provided at our Open House on Presidents’ Day. You gave our Open House a sophisticated refinement which is exactly what was needed to impress our delighted Clientele. We are thankful that you have so many wonderful professional Musicians thus having the flexibility to make modifications with unforeseen events and substitute instrumentation. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to select your most popular and talented String Quartet plus Harp which delighted us with both classical and modern contemporary music for several hours making our annual Special Event truly extraordinary. Thank you very much, Houston String Music!

We especially admire not only Houston String Music’s talented Musicians but also their integrity and their sincere reassurance that our Wedding Music be excellent. They understand that this is our Special Day and have given us several options such as their String Quartet, String Trio, and even a Harp & Violin, Cello Trio as the keyboardist would not be available. They went far beyond any other group of Musicians would have gone to substitute their keyboardist with another Musician of our choice. We had the Harpist plus Violin and Cello play for our Ceremony on Saturday and the Music was totally awesome. This is truly a remarkable group of Musicians! We highly recommend Houston Wedding & Reception String Music!

Booked Houston String Music 8 months in advance for our wedding. Received a letter 2 months before stating the pianist had broken their hand and would be unable to play for several weeks (not months) along with a check for my initial deposit. No phone call or even email to let me know of what happened. This is 2 months before an April wedding, which is a busy wedding month and now I can not find anyone who is available. Also find it interesting the letter states they will be out for several weeks, not months. Our wedding is not in a few weeks but in 2 months. I understand things happen and that it could take 2 months for the hand to heal but that's not what the letter states. I think it is bad business to handle this the way they did and I am extremely disappointed in the professionalism. It's not the end of the world to have a DJ do the service as well but not what I had envisioned and planned for this day which makes me sad. I just can't believe a courtesy phone call or email could not even be sent. Very disappointed.
