Pizzazz Strings was the easiest booking of our wedding. They have an expansive catalog of music with many options for all tastes. Aside from picking which songs we wanted them to play, they arrived promptly on time and set up quickly with no coordination needed on our end, giving our guests wonderful music to listen to as they arrived. Their talented team caused many tears during the processional, with a lovely performance of "Can't Help Falling in Love." Every piece of music played sounded amazing. We opted for the trio and felt they had a nice, full sound that was the perfect soundtrack to our garden ceremony.

I am so happy with Pizzazz Strings and their music at our ceremony and cocktail hour. I was very excited to work with them, as I had a special song that I wanted played as I walked down the isle - one that is not easy to find. This song and all others that they played exceeded all expectations. I have multiple professional musicians in my family, and ALL of them commented on their talent level and the seamless transition between songs - which is hard to do.
Andrea is friendly and responsive - very helpful and accommodating to all of my requests.
Please consider working with this trio - you will not be disappointed!

Booking Andrea and her team was a turning point in my wedding planning process. I had written a ceremony that mixed instrumental music with vocal music and readings. It wasn't horribly complicated, but the first music vendor I contacted told me that I would never find anyone in western Mass willing to go along with it. Frankly, I was crushed. But he didn't know about Andrea. In our first email exchange, Andrea told me I was very organized -- simple but welcome encouragement, and an indication that she was down with the vision. Not only was Andrea upbeat and flexible, but she was also among the most responsive and detail-oriented of all my vendors. When we showed up to the rehearsal on the day of the wedding, I could feel the professionalism, gravity, and warmth of each member of her team. And then they began to play, and the rest was history. Guests came up to me in tears throughout the evening, trying to find words to express how much the ceremony had moved them. I attribute this first of all to Andrea's group's talent and professionalism, and secondly to the fact that their willingness to engage made our overall ceremony vision possible. In my mom's words, "The music set a high bar, and the rest of the evening just flowed from there." I cannot recommend Pizzazz Strings highly enough! Thank you, Andrea, from the bottom of our hearts. You made all the difference in our big day.

For pizzaz strings we went with the trio. Our overall wedding theme was classic with a twist. Andrea was very responsive and accommodating during the planning process. We heard nothing but great feedback from our guests regarding what was played and how they played it. We wanted to enjoy all of the songs they played but unfortunately we were running behind schedule with pictures so we missed cocktail hour, however, our guests mentioned they loved the music selection, especially the Thong song. The groom had his own entrance at the ceremony and came down to Still by Dre which got everyone excited and off their seat. It was perfect just like we envisioned it. One recommendation would be to send the tune and video to them early of how u envision a particular song to get on the same page. For us it was the bride and groom entrance songs, & Andrea and her team met our expectations. We were the most excited about this part of our day and we are so happy that it went well and it was well received by our guests!! A million thank yous! We 100% recommend!

Andrea and crew were a dream to work with! Their repertoire was top notch, very varied, and the musicians were really open to our preferences as far as tempo and selections! They were even willing to learn a custom piece for us! The communication throughout was great, pricing was fair, and our guests were entranced. It fit the setting so perfectly and I can’t imagine it another way! Zero regrets. Book them while you can!!!!

We had a wonderful experience working with Pizzazz Strings! Andrea was a pleasure to work with, very responsive, helpful and polite. We had a small group so Andrea suggested going with a trio. They sounded fantastic during our wedding ceremony, everyone in attendance couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the music was!

Words cannot express how much we loved working with Andrea and the extremely talented Pizzaz Strings musicians. The music was absolutely exquisite during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Everyone had chills during the ceremony and the carry over into the cocktail hour was just perfect. Such Great Heights has been my favorite song for well over a decade and they knocked it out of the park as I walked down the aisle with my father. We feel so blessed to have had such incredible musicians part of our day.

Andrea and her team saved us in a pinch. We had a family friend drop out of doing our ceremony music, and we had to find a replacement fast. Andrea was responsive, kind, helpful (we weren’t sure exactly what we needed/wanted to book) and they had an extensive repertoire with all the songs we wanted! On the day, they were professional and so talented, and a literal dream to work with. We can’t recommend Pizzazz Strings highly enough!

Choosing to have Pizzazz Strings perform during our ceremony was one of our best choices we made for our wedding!! Their song selection was huge and planning with them was so straight forward and pleasant. Having them perform provided such a special touch and our guests really loved it. They are so talented and we are so grateful we found them!

After attending a wedding a couple of years ago where Pizzazz Strings performed for the cocktail hour and ceremony we knew we wanted a quartet so immediately we reached out to them since we had seen them in action. Andrea is very nice and their prices are reasonable. We had to move our wedding indoors due to weather and I was worried the sound would be affected but everything turned out great and we received a lot of compliments. They make things easy by listing all of their songs they play on their site too.

Andrea and her team were so flexible and accommodating for our outdoor ceremony. It ended up being windy and cold, and the string trio played beautifully (we provided a tent with walls and space heater). They have an extensive playlist to choose from, and they also learned to play the song I wanted to walk down the isle to with no extra charge. A pleasure to work with!

We got married in October and had a small luncheon reception at a beach club. A string quartet from Pizzazz Strings played during the reception, and they were fabulous. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the music, and it was a pleasure working with them before the wedding as well. Our contact replied to all my emails promptly and answered all questions thoroughly and professionally. She was happy to help us with special requests and was friendly and easy going even at the last minute. We loved having them, and they helped make our day a huge success. Thank you!

Pizzazz Strings was wonderful and played beautifully at our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. They were highly professional and accommodating. My mother is a professional opera singer and they were very amenable to accompanying her on several songs during the ceremony. Their playing of Pachelbel's Canon brought tears to my eyes as I walked down the aisle. When a transportation snafu caused the ceremony to be delayed, Pizzazz was very gracious and patient. We highly recommend them for weddings and events as they helped make our day very special.

It was our pleasure to have Pizazz Strings perform the music for our wedding ceremony on December, 5th 2015!! Andrea Mills is a joy to work with!! She was so helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. We were able to customize our ceremony music with song selections that were meaningful to us. All of the songs sounded so elegant and beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests. We could not have wished for a better experience and cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding dreams come true! We highly recommend Pizazz Strings for anyone planning a wedding!!

We had Pizzazz Strings as our music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They let us choose the music for both, which was nice, and they music they played was a lovely addition to the day.
My only complaint is that their transitions between pieces often seemed long and awkward.
