Sterling Strings

ny. We went through several postponements and the group were so accommodating and understanding each and every time. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, accomplished quartet to make our ceremony special. Thank you so much, Sterling Strings!

about having a classical and pop music portion of my wedding. It was amazing to find a group who was very capable of both, and boy did they deliver!! In addition, the DJ I hired was running extremely late and they even were able to step up and cover some of his responsibilities as well. I would highly recommend them for any event!!

of our wedding day and we booked with them almost immediately. Eric was so kind and made the booking process so simple. Even though we had to delay our wedding due to the pandemic, we were elated to know that they would still be able to attend. We were able to select songs from a very large library of classic and modern music and had so much fun deciding on the setlist. They played a bit before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and the cocktail hour. They even let my parents pick one final song to dance to at the end of the cocktail hour when the other guests were heading over to the reception. Everything was just so perfect-- they made our day that much more special.

priced as well.

irst saw them years ago that I would want them to perform at my wedding. Sterling Strings is professional and super easy going. Many of our guests said they love the Quartet. The Quartet group themselves were lovely and couldn't have asked for a better group to perform our ceremony and cocktail hour. I would hire them for all events if I could.

nd if you're going to have any piece of NY with you, Sterling Strings is it. They played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and not only was the quartet beautiful, energetic, and balanced - they were SO memorable. We are still receiving compliments about how amazing the strings were and what a heartfelt touch they put on the evening. I walked down the aisle with my parents to their wedding song (Can't Help Falling in Love) and exit with the wedding party to one of our favorite songs (Hold on, We're Going Home). The mix of classical, oldies, and contemporary was perfect and it was enjoyed by everyone there. Working with Eric to plan the songs for the night was wonderful - he is so kind, accommodating, and wants to ensure the music is everything you dreamed of. And it was.

ional and responsive. After one brief convo he knew exactly the vibe we wanted for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They blew it out of the park. We received so many compliments. I can’t recommend Sterling Strings enough!!

d transformed the vibe with their amazing music renditions. My guests still can’t stop talking about how much they were moved before the ceremony and lit with the music played during cocktail hour! Also it was excellent working with Eric. He understood my playlist and vision from start to finish and with extra time was even able to arrange a song for my bridal entrance. They also have incredible range, their setlist includes classical music, rock, hip hop, R&B, pop, movie themes and more. Whoever picks them next is going to have a blast, I highly recommend them!

g on how awesome they were, and a few asked for their contact information. Eric and the team were also professional, kind and easy to work with, even when we asked them during our wedding to stay beyond the time we had originally planned (because we were running late). We had them play for our ceremony, cocktails and through the end of dinner (until the dance party got started), and it was the perfect way to have super-fun and interesting music that really added to the atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough.

lo musicians but were concerned with how they would play together. I was in contact with Eric who was incredibly responsive to all of my questions. He was also very patient – it took the groom quite some time to determine what song he wanted to walk down the aisle to. (I think this mostly speaks to the fact that the list of songs they will play is quite extensive!) The group arrived at the agreed upon time and looked great! Our wedding was on one of the hottest days of the year and they brought blazers so they would look appropriate for the event. The groom and I agreed that the blazers were not necessary, but I appreciate that they were even willing to wear them upon request. We had a delay with the beginning of the ceremony, and Eric and team were very accommodating. They did a great job when they played, and I really couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re local to the NYC area, please consider them to be your ceremony musicians, you will not be disappointed!

ple entranced by their sound and arrangements. Their range of music is extensive and they can do just about anything you ask. We hired them to work our ceremony and cocktail hour and they more than delivered. Our guests were awed by them and it was such a beautiful way to start our wedding before kicking off the party. We would book them again in a heartbeat!!!

were able to plan out over the phone and discuss my ideas with Eric and his team. Despite this year; with a restricted amount of people, I was able to get married with the woman of my dreams and Sterling Strings was able to do an outstanding performance.

nd will for years). They were poised and professional when it started to rain in the middle of our ceremony and maintained high spirits all through the night. During the reception, they deftly navigated the evening, mixing classical songs with our contemporary favorites, and kept the group moving when it was time to dance. We’ve since recommended them to family, friends and friends of friends and cannot wait to work with them again for our next celebration. They’re truly wonderful artists and were equally wonderful people to have with us. We’re lucky we found them!

ecause I was so excited and could not wait to see them in person. We initially booked SS to provide music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Appx one week before the wedding we decided to add a violinist to play during dinner. Our guests absolutely loved the music. Eric was so easy to work with. Days leading up to the wedding we scheduled a call to go over some ideas I had for my entrance song. When I called, the band had just finished rehearsal. As we talked about what I wanted, Eric put me on speaker and the band played a sample of what we talked about to make sure it was what I wanted. This was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

is amazing (every genre, classical to pop) but they're willing to learn a new song if you wanted. They arrived on time. Set themselves up. Worked everything out through our day of coordinator. It was competely stress free for us. They played for an hour and it was absolutely incredible, including for my wife walking down the aisle. They were by far the hit of the wedding and would highly highly recommend them.

the halls as I was walking to work. I knew I had to have them at our wedding, and luckily my wife went along with my recommendation! They definitely were impressive and worth it. My wife and I highly highly recommend. They played for 2 hours during our wedding reception and it really set the tone for the evening. They can play a wide range of music which is awesome, especially all of today's hits, and their sound is so unique and helps generate a very elegant ambiance even if they're playing a strings rendition of a hip hop song. Many of our guests thought it was the coolest part of our wedding, and we would agree.

ible to our needs. We’d definitely recommend and would use them again if we could!

he global pandemic. At a time when everything was stressful, he supported us switching venues and coming up with an intimate ceremony and cocktail hour. As we had several restrictions, guidelines and safety measures in place his team arrived on time, with the highest level of professionalism and maintained all protocols in place. The musical choices were flawless including renditions of “All you need is love” by The Beatles and “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton for us in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Having the element of a string quartet will bring tears to each and every guest and bring a level of elegance you could only dream about. The Sterling Stings are by far the best in the business and their level of talent is like no other. I promise from the initial call or email with Eric to the actual event will be a flawless experience with one of the most knowledgeable band leaders in the business and an event everyone will be talking about for years to come. Whether a 300-person wedding or a 30-person outdoor event, The Sterling Strings will deliver each and every time and there is only one choice for a string quartet. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day one for the books!

lown away. Thank you so much!

rthodox request to perform virtually for guests. Leading up to our event, Eric joined our virtual run-through to help trouble-shoot any issues and even performed a few different versions of our songs to help decide which sounded best over Zoom. Eric was so easy to work with and really helped our virtual wedding feel like an incredibly special and elegant affair. Our friends and family were so delighted at the surprise performance -- it really helped set the mood that this wasn't just another video call! I hope we're able to work with Sterling Strings again in the future for an in-person performance, but we're so grateful we were able to support these talented artists and create a special moment for our unconventional wedding.

rling Strings played while our guests entered and mingled and they even learned our favorite song. They were a lovely addition to our celebration.

to go for it. I will never forget them playing as I walked down the aisle and my guests will never stop raving about the amazing talent during cocktail hour. It was so memorable and I highly recommend them. They are easy to work with, very responsive, and insanely talented!

very responsive and we worked together to figure out a perfect budget and timing for the event. They absolutely understood and heard what I wanted to do with the music and beautifully executed it. A month before the wedding I asked for a popular song and Eric was able to make it happen! I received so many compliments from the guests at the wedding. Sterling Strings was the perfect addition to our event. Our only regret is that the cocktail hour wasn’t longer so I could hear them perform more.

d knew we had to have them for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I first discovered them 3-4 years ago when they were playing at the Bedford avenue train station and said to myself if I ever have a wedding I need to book them. They are incredibly talented and their catalogue is massive. Guests raved about them and I'm so mad I couldn't enjoy them myself during cocktail hour! They were punctual and weren't in anyones way at all. I highly recommend hiring them as they will put some serious classical swag into your wedding. If you want to set your wedding apart from everyone else's you need to hire Sterling Strings!

easy to work with and was very responsive, even going out of his way to meet us at a local coffee shop before we agreed to move forward (we wanted face time with our vendors to ensure we connected). Leading up to the wedding, we selected a variety of songs that we wanted and they killed it the day-of. We highly recommend using Sterling Strings at your wedding if you want an unforgettable evening <3

sponsive and attentive throughout the whole process.

opular songs and were so amazingly talented. They were wonderful to work with and created some of the best moments of my wedding. I will never forget listening as I heard Beyonce's crazy in love play with the quartet. Everyone sang their highest praises and I would NOT hesitate to use them for any event we have in the future. This group deserves all the praise and bookings!!! Not one problem with them. Just smiles all around from everyone on an incredibly hot summer day!

with from start to finish, and they even put together a custom arrangement for my professional song which was so special to me. Our guests all RAVED about them, many said they were the best wedding music they’d ever seen or heard! If you are at all on the fence about hiring live music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or whole wedding, DO IT and make sure it’s Sterling Strings! They will undoubtedly add a unique, personal flare to your event that you and your guests will never forget. Thank you to Eric and his whole crew for making our day so memorable!

ll talking about how amazing the music was! Eric worked with us every step of the way and was so involved and patient. He was also able to work with us making several of our song choices happen even with a duet when they are usually performed by a quartet. Days before the wedding he even helped me arrange for a surprise arrangement to accompany a reading I was surprising my husband at the ceremony. We hands down 1000% recommend going with Sterling Strings!!!

d as a guest, they were my favorite part of the whole wedding. They started with classical music so I thought they were your typical wedding quartet, but then they started playing modern songs and that was a game changer. It was so special and unique that I had to book them for my own wedding. They were responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process and arrived early for my ceremony. I requested a very complicated and special song for my walk down the aisle and they nailed it. At cocktail hour, my guests raved about their performance and loved every minute of it. If you want your wedding to feel modern, fun and personal - book Sterling Strings. You won’t regret it.

communication which put us at ease for the big day. Definitely recommend these guys!

pon our request, they played more traditional music during the ceremony and switched over to contemporary music for the cocktail hour. It was a hit with us and our guests. If you book them for your event, you will not regret it. You'll likely be like us and will be looking for other events to hire them for.

than we expected! Our guests LOVED them. So upbeat, vibrant and fun! Eric was very helpful in the planning stage, made things super easy. If you want original, talented, kind musicians at your wedding Sterling Strings is the best possible decision. Hire them!

lled. My only complaint is that I didn’t get to fully experience as we had to take pictures! Would definitely use again!

nd after the event. I saw them perform in the subway on my morning commute and knew I had to have them for my wedding - and they did not disappoint! My guests were in awe and all have let me know it was a truly unique addition to my cocktail hour. I would totally recommend them without a doubt in my mind.

utifully. Absolutely wonderful and so glad we booked them.

as stunned and didn't even realize they were there until the cocktail hour. The music was so perfect that she thought it was a recorded CD. Thanks again for making our day so memorable.

versatile and they played each song to perfection. It really helped make our day so special. Not to mention, they were the definition of professional throughout the entire planning process. I highly recommend working with them on your big day!!

with Eric leading up to the big day was so stress free- he was very accommodating, reasonable and super easy to work with! They played SO beautifully together at our wedding and it sounded amazing in our venue. All our guests kept telling us how much they loved the strings and how it was such a fun experience getting to watch and hear them play!! They had such a great music list as well. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to use Sterling Strings at our wedding. Thank you all SO MUCH for making our day so special!!!!

ey can come up with an arrangement for any requests. Highly recommended.

eat group and so so so nice and accomodating. Our guests were so impressed!

from guests on how beautifully they played. Eric was amazing to work with from the beginning, very responsive, and open to learning a song we wanted to hear during our cocktail hour. They pulled at my heartstrings for sure. I could listen to Sterling Strings ALL DAY LONG. Hands down, amazing all around.

evate their wedding or event. My guests were so impressed. It’s months after our wedding at this point and they are still talking about how incredible the string quartet was! Thank you so much, Sterling Strings, for making my wedding so incredibly special.
