Southern Strings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding and cocktail hour! They took all our requests and played a beautiful ceremony and cocktail hour for us. When we didn’t get to hear one of our cocktail songs we had requested because we weren’t out yet, they even played it again for us so we could hear. So many people raved about how wonderful they sounded. I’d highly recommend them for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour! They sounded amazing and were so kind to us.

I have nothing but the utmost high regards about Southern Strings. They were absolutely amazing for our big day and our guest have continued to rave about how beautifully they played even months after our wedding. We booked the String Trio for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and it truly added an element to our big day that elevated it tremendously! They have such a wide song selection to choose from ,so there is definitely something for everyone. We couldn't recommend Southern Strings enough, you truly won't regret selecting them for your big day.

Our wedding planner found Southern Strings and I'm so glad she did! Southern Strings was so communicative during the whole process whenever we had questions or wanted their suggestions. They had a HUGE list of songs to choose from. They were on-time and played beautifully. I would recommend them again and again. We were SO pleased and it made our wedding so special having them play for the ceremony.

The Southern Strings trio we hired for my wedding ceremony was absolutely perfect! They have a vast and diverse repertoire of songs to select from, and even offer to learn a song if it’s not already included on their list. We had a meeting over the phone to establish song choice and day-of details, and Southern Strings was professional, easy to work with, and communicative throughout the whole planning process. They did a wonderful job on the day-of and I would highly recommend!
