Lavandula Strings

We absolutely loved having Lavandula Strings join us for our event last fall! They brought the exact quality of professionalism we were looking for, and exceeded our expectations with regards to their performance! It makes sense they are all highly classically-trained. We simply asked for an hour of classical music, and they put together a setlist that not only fit that requirement, but was unique and diverse enough to capture everyone's undivided attention for most of what we had planned to be a casual social hour. We loved the element they brought, and will absolutely consider hiring them again. Can't recommend them enough!

Lavandula Strings is a superb ensemble. I truly appreciated their quick response time and professionalism leading up to the wedding, and they also sound fantastic. I took a few of their business cards to give to a few of my friends with weddings on the horizon.

I truly appreciate this group who beautifully decorated my best friend's special moments in her life! As a professional musician, it was extremely challenging to choose a music ensemble group for my friend's wedding. This is because most players did not meet my expectations and it was extremely difficult to find good players based on the experience and knowledge gained by participating in various life events such as weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and funerals myself since 2000. Most singers were vulnerable to outdoor events, and the woodwind quintet was unique but hard to hear and lack of impact. String trio (violin, cellos, and piano) often had to deal with a bad piano/keyboard condition. Brass quartet or quintet were fun to listen to but did not fit in well depending on the circumstances. After deep consideration and gathering lots of recommendations, I requested Lavandula Strings for my best friend's life event, and their performance and attitude toward the event exceeded my expectations. 1. Each of the performers' professionalism 2. Founder Joy's wonderful communication skills 3. A diverse and broad repertoire ranging from classical music to jazz and pop 4. Empathy and warm attitude toward an event 5. Great responsibility and perfectionism My friends and her family still talk about how wonderful the music was at the wedding and how pleased the attendees were. I have already asked them for my brother's engagement again, and I will definitely request them for future events as well. If you don't know anything about music, or who to ask for, please contact Joy. She will kindly guide you through the way in a wonderful way. If you majored in music and are looking for a group that can meet your expectations, please contact Joy!!!

We want to extend a massive thank you for being part of our special day. You were all absolutely amazing. The music was just perfect and all of our guest commented on how great you were to listen to and interact with. Thank you again.

They were outstanding!! We were between booking the string quartet or string trio...book the string quartet - they are worth the money! Their playing was amazing and we loved working with them. Thanks for being part of our amazing vendor team :)

Lavandula Strings made our day perfect! We loved working with Joy and her quartet. She was communicative, friendly, and genuinely excited for our ceremony. They played all of our requests and our wedding guests were raving about their string covers. This group is absolutely worth every penny!

I am so grateful I found Joy at Lavandula Strings! The music for our ceremony was beautiful and loved by all. Joy was extremely communicative and genuinely enthusiastic throughout the entire planning process. We chose a couple of unique songs and she absolutely nailed them both! I sat looking through some candid shots of our ceremony today and Joy looked as happy to be there as any of our family and friends; she is a gem and I would highly recommend Lavandula Strings…your wedding will be extra special with Joy’s violin talent, ours sure was!

Joy is an excellent performer and a wonderful person! She learned new songs for us very quickly and was happy to tailor the songs to our interests. She is talented and warm.

Phenomenal contribution to the ambiance of our outdoor wedding! Talented, punctual, professional, and very flexible. So happy we booked Lavandula Strings!

We hired Lavandula Strings to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were absolutely amazing! From the beginning, Joy was so easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. We've never hired string musicians before so she walked us through the process and what to expect. During the ceremony, the quartet timed our songs perfectly and I can say with full confidence, there was not a single dry eye in the room. It felt so special to hear the strings as I walked down the aisle. During cocktail hour, the musicians played as we took photos outside. Our guests absolutely loved it and they enjoyed dancing to their music, especially the kids. We had the chance to speak with Joy and the other musicians afterwards and they were all lovely people and very accomplished. They all had graduate degrees and had performed all over the world as classical musicians - they had even performed at weddings for celebrities! It really made our ceremony special to have them share their talents with us on such an important day! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional musicians that go above and beyond!

Highly recommend this group! I opted for the ceremony string trio service. They were amazing and made my wedding unforgettable!

Lavandula Strings were wonderful! They really took the time to get to know our tastes and suggest music that was perfect for our wedding. We could not imagine it without them!

Simply amazing. We had a wonderful experience with Lavandula Strings. Very responsive and professional.

Booking this group was worth every cent. They were so responsive, flexible and put on an extraordinary performance for the wedding and reception. Highly recommend.

I knew I wanted to hire a classical group to perform at my wedding but I wasn't sure if I could afford it. Joy suggested a violin and cello duo to fit my budget and they were amazing! They performed the songs I requested with the perfect timing. They really made my day memorable and I would recommend them to anyone hoping to make their day special!

I first connected with Joy, the first violinist, in January 2019 after our wedding had been rescheduled twice due to Covid. Joy was so understanding and did everything she could to make sure our wedding ran smoothly. She wrote out a personalized transcription of my wife's favorite song and kept up communication as our wedding approached in August. The wedding went seamlessly and we received so many compliments on the string quartet's playing. They were also genuinely kind people! I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a great addition to their ceremony!
