Midtown Strings was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding on June 13th! From the moment they started playing, they created the most beautiful, elegant atmosphere that m...
ade our ceremony feel truly magical. Their talent, professionalism, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the music was, and it added such a special touch to every moment of the day. The team was incredibly easy to work with and helped make our vision come to life perfectly. If you're looking for musicians who will elevate your wedding and leave a lasting impression, Midtown Strings is the absolute best. We couldn't recommend them more highly!
Midtown Strings performed at our ceremony and did absolutely amazing! We had a violin, cello, and piano player and curated a very specific list of songs from movies. They absolut...
ely knocked it out of the park - so many of our guests raved about the quality of the live music. They were also reasonably priced compared to other strings I looked into. Would highly recommend them!
We are so glad we went with Midtown Strings for our wedding ceremony and reception! It was important to us that we support women-owned businesses and Midtown Strings came highly re...
commended (our wedding planner even used them!). They have an extensive repertoire and are willing to perform songs not on their repertoire at additional cost. Their repertoire was more than enough and truly included every song we could want including a video game song that the bride wanted to walk down the aisle to. We wanted a Bridgerton-type vibe at our reception and the musicians did an excellent job at that! They were so professional and responsive. We would recommend Midtown Strings to any couple getting married!
Midtown strings played for our wedding ceremony, delivering the most memorable and beautiful music I could ask for. These women are so incredibly talented, I knew when I heard thei...
r samples I had to have to play for my wedding day! They make any song you choose sound romantic, regal, and ceremonial. Additionally, they were willing to learn a song that was not on their original playlists, my husband and I adore the song “There She Is” by Frank Turner, however, it is not a very widely known song. I wanted to surprise my husband as I walked down the aisle to this song. Needless to say, the women delivered on their promise and learned the song. This was so special to myself and brought my now husband to tears hearing this song as I walked down the aisle. I cannot thank them enough. They were punctual, flexible, had clear communication, and gave the best performance I could ask for. I would highly recommend their services for any event you have, they are so talented and passionate about their music, and it is so clear to see. Thank you for making my ceremony a dream come true!
We cannot recommend Midtown Strings enough! Thank you so much for an amazing performance!

ding at The Guardian Building in Detroit. I am so happy with how the day went, the strings were incredible. We chose specific songs including a Persian song to go along with a specific part of the ceremony. After finding the sheet music the trio played it with ease. My mother in law was in tears! I loved every bit of working with Natalie and I would highly recommend working with Midtown Strings for your event. Having live strings for the ceremony was an amazing touch especially while getting married in a historical building.

nal sound person when we needed one, AND brought us an extra music stand as a last minute request. The string trio that played at our ceremony sounded amazing; and they accompanied two of our friends who sang and played guitar as well as played the prelude, processional and recessional. Their playing and professionalism was stellar, and we received so many compliments on them. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Natalie and the Midtown Strings, and I recommend them to anyone looking for strings to accompany their ceremony or otherwise!

were so easy to work with, so professional, and the music was beautiful. Having live string music really added so much to our ceremony. Our guests absolutely raved about Midtown Strings. They have a very large list of music that you can choose from for them to play, and they even offer to learn a few songs if there is a song you would like that is not on their repertoire. I would hire them over and over again. I highly HIGHLY recommend them to make any occasion beautiful and memorable. We love Midtown Strings!

d made every step a breeze and even added 10 songs that we wanted played that were not apart of their library. We knew it would be an extra charge beforehand but we really wanted the songs played, we were expecting to pay a couple hundred dollars for them to add and learn them but they only charged us like $30! Their rates are extremely reasonable and they are all so talented! We got so many compliments about how awesome they were! I highly recommend hiring them for your wedding or whatever event it is where you might need some beautiful strings playing in the background!

that we weren't limited to that list and that they could learn pretty much whatever songs we wanted played! We picked a couple of songs that weren't on the list, and they played them beautifully. I have no complaints and am so happy they were able to do our wedding. Would highly recommend to anyone within their location range!

We could not have been more impressed with Midtown Strings! We relied a lot on reviews from other couples when looking for musicians for our ceremony and we were not disappointed. ...
They were always very communicative and even adjusted to our desire to have an additional cellist a couple days before the wedding. The music was absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments on what a beautiful tone the musicians set. If you're looking for badass female empowered musicians for your big day, I would really take a look at them. We'd 100% book them again if we had a re-do!

Midtown Strings is made up of some extremely talented musicians, and I’m so glad that they performed at my wedding last month! Their repertoire is huge and my husband and I had so ...
much fun picking out our songs for the ceremony. We both love The Beatles, so our processional was a medley of Beatles songs. It sounded exactly like we were imagining, and made our ceremony even more special…and definitely made me cry like a baby. Many of our guests mentioned how much they loved the pre-ceremony selections as well, which were some modern and more classic songs that we felt connected to! The group was so professional, knowledgeable and responsive! I would absolutely recommend Midtown Strings to anyone planning a wedding in Downtown Detroit. :)

I gave them a pretty long and specific list of songs we hoped to have played, and they played them all exquisitely.
