Verified reviews from real couples

We were absolutely blown away by Harold our wedding violinist! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about his craft. The music was beyond beautiful—it created such a romantic and elegant atmosphere that our guests are still talking about today!! What really stood out was how seamlessly he coordinated with our DJ to make sure everything flowed perfectly. That level of attention to detail made such a difference and took so much stress off of us. He didn’t just play music—he played with passion that really elevated the entire experience. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely amazing at what they do, I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you again!!

We had Harold & Jacob play violin & cello at our wedding at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Harold was our main point of contact leading up to the event, and he was super quick with communication and very flexible for planning meetings. We had a couple unique requests, with the Wedding Waltz from FF6 as one of the songs and Wild Mountain Thyme as our aisle song, and they found some sheet music, reviewed desired tempo with us, and did a great job on the day of. They are more than worth their fee - as part of the overall wedding expense I'm SO glad we booked them and kind of wish we got all four of them to play! If you're on the fence just go for it. They're great and really elevate the ambiance.

From the moment they began playing, they brought such elegance, warmth, and professionalism to my special day! We even had some crazy windy weather (which involved us last min. nee...

ding a tent and re-arranging everything), and they managed to pull it off perfectly Their music set the perfect tone for the ceremony and cocktail hour and added such a magical atmosphere to the entire day. I cant thank you enough! We had a customized playlist, and they were able to accommodate this request which we found out a lot of people won't do. It’s not easy to make something as stressful as a wedding feel seamless, but they truly made it look (and sound) effortless. If you're looking for musicians who are not only talented but also reliable, kind, and a joy to work with—these are your guys. I can't recommend them enough

We were on a tight timeline to accomplish our wedding since we had to cancel our plans for a fall wedding next year. I’ve always dreamed of having a string quartet at my wedding, b...

ut thought it would be impossible to find one with less that two months to plan. Not only did Aries Music Group deliver on the best quartet I’ve probably ever heard, they were able to play songs we specifically requested, and the one I requested for my aisle procession was not a commonly known song. Not only did I almost cry as I walked down the aisle, but guests told me the beautiful string quartet just added a beautiful, poetic emotion that no DJ or canned music could ever replicate. It was raw, passionate, meaningful, heartfelt…and perfect. I got the wedding of my dreams, and even in such little time, Aries Music Group delivered a perfect ensemble of strings that made mine and Shelley’s wedding day perfect!!! 12/10 recommend them for your wedding or event in the future!!!

My wife and I hired Aries Music Group to perform at our wedding and we could not be more happy with this decision. We went in to this process with high expectations. Not only did t...

his group meet these expectations, they completely blew them out of the water. From beginning to end they displayed a professionalism and an impeccable attention to detail you don't often see with wedding vendors. They worked with us closely to ensure that each piece of music matched exactly what we desired at each and every moment of this incredibly important day. Beyond professionalism, their musical talents are unmatched. Despite heavy winds and weather challenges on the beach during our big day, Aries Music Group ensured the entire performance went off seamlessly. The production quality was equally as astounding, despite these challenges. I would, without a doubt, hire them again and recommend them to anyone who is in need of outstanding live music. They're prices are reasonable and worth every penny. 10/10!
