We had a fantastic experience with Royal Violins at our wedding! They traveled a long distance and even learned original music for the ceremony, which made our wedding feel truly special. During the cocktail hour, the quartet entertained our guests with a wonderful mix of classical and pop music. Not only were they incredibly talented and professional, but they were also affordable. We highly recommend Royal Violins for any event!
They played for our ceremony at Indian Trail club and it was beautiful! Thanks!
My husband and I first heard Royal Strings play 4 years ago at a friend's wedding. I remember thinking at the cocktail hour that I had to have them play at my wedding in the future. Once we started planning Steve was one of the first vendors I contacted and he was so easy and wonderful to work with. Our ceremony and cocktail music was absolutely perfect, and we loved the vibe of the guitar with the violin- it's a little more relaxed and absolutely beautiful. Cannot recommend Royal Strings enough!
My husband and I hired Royal Strings for our November 2018 wedding in New Hope, PA. Steve provided the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We originally hired Steve based on reviews and emailed with him to coordinate the timing for our wedding. Steve provided thoughtful advice on songs for our ceremony and helped us to select songs. Additionally, we asked Steve to learn a few Pearl Jam songs, as they are my husband's favorite band. Steve learned the songs and played them for our cocktail hour and it was a HUGE hit. We were floored with how great the music sounded and we loved how he was able to play all different genres. He was so easy to work with. We were originally nervous hiring someone we were not meeting until the day of our wedding, but Steve was on-time and extremely professional. We would certainly hire Steve again!
My husband and I hired the Royal Strings for our wedding in September of 2018. Definitely hire them for your ceremony and cocktail hour! They can play a variety of songs from the classics to modern hits. I chose a non-traditional song to walk down the aisle to and they nailed it. I can’t thank them enough! Steve was a pleasure to work with. As an added bonus, we were pleasantly surprised with the price. They are very affordable. I would recommend the Royal Strings to anyone for their special day.
Stephen was very attentive to the requests and wishes. With a classical music background, I was super concerned about the choice of music, acoustics, tempo, appropriateness to the venue etc. The resulting violin and guitar combo of classical and contemporary music was a win-win with both the bride and groom and me, the bride's mother. They brought their own sound system, adjusted it to the size of the venue. The sound was full, beautiful and the timing worked out perfectly for the processions!
I highly recommend! Music was the most important part of planning my wedding and I’m super happy we went with Royal Strings for our ceremony music. Steve was really accommodating and played several songs we requested that weren’t initially on his play list.
Royal Strings was OUTSTANDING! We got SO many compliments on them for their ceremony and cocktail hour music. I unfortunately did not get to hear them at the cocktail hour and I could hardly process anything that was happening at the ceremony, but I was so thrilled to hear from others that they did an amazing job. Steve was super easy to work with, didn't have to worry about them at all. They just got it. They got the romantic, rustic feel we were going for with our wedding with our summer Hudson Valley wedding and they delivered. It's very hard to select musicians for weddings and we could not have made a better choice having them for the ceremony and cocktail hour. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend booking them.
Royal Strings went above and beyond to make sure our ceremony and cocktail hour music was perfect! I knew that I wanted live music for part of our wedding day and we decided to hire a group for the ceremony and cocktail hour. I met with Steve, the main contact person, from Royal Strings and I think we had spent at least an hour, if not more, talking about music and various other things! Steve was very knowledgeable about music and how the flow of a wedding ceremony should go music wise. I felt very comfortable after meeting with him that Royal Strings would provide us the best for our wedding day. And sure enough they did! Steve was very easy to get in touch with through emails or phone calls and promptly answered me back. He answered any questions I had and told me his honest opinions about different songs to use. They showed up on time the day of our wedding, were professional, played awesome tunes, and sounded awesome! My husband and I had asked if they could play one of our ceremony songs again because we didn't get a chance to hear it and they had no problem playing it for us and even singing along to it! Royal Strings were overall awesome and I would use hire them again in the future!
My husband and I used Royal Strings for all the music at our wedding- including ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, and we were highly impressed and happy with them!
For the ceremony, the string duo play a variety of introductory/prelude tunes. They also learned a special song for the processional, which made my walk down the aisle very memorable. At cocktail hour, they played a variety of more modern and fun tunes. The one we got the most comments on was the "Game of Thrones" theme song. During the first part of the meal service, they started with more songs on strings and eventually switched to a DJ set of romantic classics and top 40 for dancing.
Steve was wonderful to work with before and during the wedding, from finalizing the playlists to taking DJ requests at the event. He was very responsive through emails and also available to talk to by phone. Steve has a laid-back and easygoing personality, but was a consummate professional. His partner on violin was also very pleasant and accomplished. Their experience and polish really comes across in their presentation and set a great tone for the wedding.
Royal Strings are a great value for their quality, and we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had them as part of our wedding!
Wonderful duo. Loved their variety in music and ability to mash new songs with strings. They are so talented. I used many contemporary songs during my ceremony and it truly made the ceremony. They also entertained guests during cocktail hour which was a nice prelude to the lively reception. LOVE THEM!
I spoke to Steve via email and phone several times before my wedding (4/19/14.) He was super attentive and helped me plan the perfect songs to play during my wedding ceremony - a mix of classical and modern. The wedding was held outdoors in the courtyard of the Olde Mill Inn. The setting was beautiful, and Steve's duo of guitar and violin just added to the beauty of the space. The minute I heard the music playing for my wedding party's entrance I started getting emotional, it just sounded so beautiful! Everyone commented on how wonderfully Royal Strings set the scene for our ceremony. They were fantastic and very affordable!
Royal Strings played for our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and my husband and I could not be happier with our choice. Steve was a pleasure to work with from the start, always responsive and professional. All of our guests, young and old, kept raving about the music and how unique the selection was. My father and I walked down to “In my life” by the Beatles and my husband and I ended the ceremony with “white wedding” ;) My maid of honor even mentioned that she was composed until the music started to play and her eyes filled up with tears, it was so beautiful. I highly recommend Royal Strings, They were absolutely fantastic!
My husband and I could not be happier that Royal Strings was a part of our wedding. The moment we met Steve we felt totally at ease with him. He understood who we were and he was willing to learn to play any song we wanted! We became so excited about the ceremony and cocktail hour music.
Steve did a fantastic job during my ceremony. He knew exactly what parts of the song to play for particular moments and I was truly emotional as I was walking down the aisle.
We got so many compliments from friends and family on what a great job Royal Strings did. Thanks for everything Steve!
Absolutely wonderful performance at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on December 27, 2011. Guests have complimented us on the high quality of music and great variety. The brides introduction, "Here Comes the Sun", made all of my bridesmaids cry and I LOVED their rendition of "Just Like Heaven" for the recessional. We would recommend Royals Strings without hesitation.
The Royal Strings did a great job! Everyone loved them at the cocktail hour. I hired them over the phone and couldn't have been happier.
We wanted the perfect blend of classic and modern for the music and our ceremony and Steve from Royal Strings totally delivered! The combo of acoustic guitar and violin was perfect. People are still asking us about the music at our wedding!
Steve and Boris are amazing musicians! I spoke to Steve on the phone a few times before the wedding and he was so helpful in assisting me with music selection and assuring me that everything would go well for the wedding. I even asked Steve to transcribe a piece of music for my ceremony. I simply sent him a youtube video of the song and the next day I recieved an e-mail that it was transcribed and ready to go! Sure enough, on my wedding day the song played for my bridal party's entrance and it sounded just like the recording. I was amazed. We recieved so many compliments on their musicianship and the wide range of songs they played during the ceremony and cocktail hour. They played pre-ceremony, ceremony, and quickly rushed into cocktail hour to play that too! The music added so much to the wedding and I am so thankful to them both. All of our guests loved them, too!
Royal Strings is awesome! I had found them through their website, which had such a variety of music, I was blown away! We booked them for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were extremely reasonable in pricing for the beautiful music you get in return! They literally will try to learn anything you want them to play. My favorite band is Coheed and Cambria, and for my cocktail hour, they played "Welcome Home". It was amazing! I was so happy! I would recommend them to anyone!
Only a violin and guitar but oh what a wonderful sound ! Look no further. Steve and Boris are the best. Money well spent. Great communication, very accomodating. Thank you guys. Would love to give you more than 5 stars
