StringSource

StringSource was one of the highlights of our wedding. The ceremony strings and cocktail hour jazz trio were unique and appreciated by our guests. Kanako was by far one of the easiest vendors to manage ahead of time and was always super quick and clear with each response.

Thanks for making our Daughter’s Wedding Day magical and special! Our guests really enjoyed all of your selections. We are so appreciative of your talent and professionalism and for making David and Raegyn’s wedding ceremony and cocktail hour flow flawlessly! We highly recommend StringSource Cincinnati for your special event!

Shortly after we got engaged, my parents saw StringSource perform at a family friends wedding. They called us the next day and could not stop raving about the beauty and elegance StringSource brought to the wedding! We immediately reached out and hired them to perform at our wedding! The detail, talent, and skill they play with is memorizing! It elevated our ceremony and cocktail hour in the most magical and lovely way. My aunt performed a song during our ceremony and StringSouce learned the song to perform with her--it was such a beautiful touch that I will forever cherish! I can't recommend StringSouce enough! Kanko was an absolute gem to work with and we could not be more grateful we had them as part of our day :)

StringSource was awesome to work with - I truly gave them the bare minimum of information to work off of (because wedding planning on top of working a full time job with a side hustle gets to be a lot 😅) and they executed everything so professionally! I told them the 3 songs that we wanted to be played: 1 that my husband wanted his grandmas, and him with his parents to walk down to, 1 for me and my parents to walk down to, and 1 for our recessional. Before the ceremony, we didn’t have a preference of songs, but I requested classical. And during cocktail hour, we requested pop renditions. The feedback we got from our guests said it was like being in Bridgerton and it was a nice touch to our wedding! Highly recommend!

Beautiful "Bridgerton" style music for my daughter's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Kanako assembled a 7 piece ensemble of strings, flute, keyboard and drum to play Taylor Swift songs with a symphony classical feel. AND they helped us out by continuing to play for some of our reception when the power went out. So grateful!

Stringsource was the first vendor I booked after booking my wedding venue. From the very start, Kanako was extremely communicative and easy to work with. We booked a string duo and a pianist for our cocktail hour and pricing was very reasonable. People came up to us after the wedding and raved about the music. Highly recommend!

Super great company to work with. Kanako was always very responsive and kind. The music for our ceremony was incredible! We loved it so much and our guests keep telling us how much they loved it. I would definitely recommend Stringsource for your wedding. You will not be disappointed and neither will your guests. Words can’t explain how great of an experience this was for us.

We had a duo perform at our ceremony and it was amazing! We shared the songs we had in mind for the different parts of the processional and they played them no questions asked. They also played as our guests were arriving, we didn’t give specific songs for that and based on guest feedback, they chose excellently. The string source team was easy to work with, very open with communication. Everyone loved the music! It really elevated our ceremony. Highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVE string music and think that when done well, it adds such an elegant touch to any wedding. Kanako, at StringSource, was super easy to work with and offered a wide array of classical and popular music options. Amelia and Jonathan's violin/cello duet was amazing. The bride and groom were super happy with the result, and we received so many compliments from guests. I highly recommend StringSource!

The quartet was the perfect addition to our day and let us walk down the aisle to some very special songs but their elegant counterpart. There wasn’t a song I asked for they couldn’t do and they were so organized when planning for the ceremony. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

I first heard StringSource when my partner and I attended a Candlelight Concert: A Tribute to Adele. The music was so beautiful and the musicians were just incredible. Recently, when planning our wedding, I couldn't stop thinking of StringSource and how beautiful it would be to have them perform our ceremony music. I reached out to Kanako and she made it happen! StringSource played the 30min prelude and ceremony music. They also played the cocktail hour at our reception. We wanted music that meant something to us rather than traditional classical pieces. She let us choose all of the music which were mostly contemporary and acoustic pieces. They even accompanied our daughter when she sang a song to us at the reception. It was all perfection! Kanako made it so easy to book, to plan and to pay. The musicians were so personable and professional. Hiring StringSource was one of the best decisions we made and having a playlist of all the songs that comprised our wedding and reception is just priceless!

They were such a pleasure to work with and did an amazing job at our wedding! Would recommend to anyone that wants to elevate their event with strings!!

The trio of musicians at our wedding were phenomenal! From start to finish, they were a breeze to communicate with and incredibly responsive. Their extensive repertoire was impressive; they knew every song we specifically requested, making our day truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!

StringSource did an amazing job for our wedding reception. We had their string duo play our reception. They were easy and quick to communicate with in the lead up, they were very friendly and easy to work with on the day, and they did a wonderful job playing!

Highly recommend! We had a String Trio at our NYE Wedding during the ceremony and cocktail hour in The Loft space at The Alcove by Madtree and they were absolutely perfect! StringSource was able to accommodate all of our song choices. They kept the vibe fun and poppy during cocktail hour and played everything from “Invisible String” to Mac Miller “2009” and then “Can’t help falling in love with you” for our ceremony. We can’t thank you all enough!

We loved every part of using String Source for our wedding! The music was amazing and they were so easy to work with. We couldn't be more pleased! Highly recommend!!

Amazing communication. Amazing talent!! Overall, a great experience for us and our guests during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They played everything we asked for and it was so, so beautiful!! Couldn’t recommend them more!!

String Source's performance during my wedding reception dinner was nothing short of magical. They played a variety of fun pop music, but also went absolutely above and beyond to learn my late father's own music. It was a touching and profound experience, bringing an indescribable sense of peace and comfort to my husband, me, and our loved ones. String Source's beautiful renditions and care to learning and playing his music provided a gift as close to having him there as possible. Each of the musicians' ability to breathe life into the notes and melodies transcends technical skill—they play with emotion and love. Beyond that, their kindness, graciousness, and professionalism throughout the planning process were truly appreciated. We will be reminiscing about our wedding reception dinner music forever. I can confidently share that booking String Source was the most thoughtful wedding decision we made throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend String Source enough to couples getting married or those planning special events.

String Source was magnificent. All aspects of our experience were led by Kanako with professionalism and efficiency. The charm and emotion of the ceremony was matched by the quality of the musicians and vocalist provided by String Source. Choosing String Source was one of the best decisions made to meet the joy and love of this once in a lifetime evening. Thank you !

Kanako and StringSource Cincinnati are INCREDIBLE performers. My partner and I had been to a few of their Candlelight Concerts before we got engaged and absolutely adored them. After we got engaged, we ended up using not just them for our ceremony but the same venue we had seen them play in several times. Our wedding day quite literally wouldn’t have been what it was without them. They are responsible for memories of mine that now last a lifetime, and I couldn’t possibly thank them enough.

String source was incredible! Everyone raved about the music at my ceremony. It was so surreal to walk down the aisle to live music that was so beautifully played. They were professional and so easy to work with. Choosing music was easy and their social media is a great way to find samples of their work. If anyone asks me about music for their ceremony, I do not hesitate to mention string source. 10/10!

Prior to even being engaged, I knew I'd love to work with String Source for my wedding day. They made our ceremony absolutely PERFECT! They set the tone for the most perfect day. Our guests loved their performance; hearing them in person made many feel emotional because thy are so talented. We highly recommend String Source, they make your wedding day so very special!!!

StringSource was amazing for my wedding! They were professional, extremely talented and very accommodating - they even ask your wedding colors to dress to match! I heard so many great things from our guests at cocktail hour and they made my ceremony vision perfect. Couldn’t recommend a vendor more than them!

StringSource is the best there is in the city! Kanako was a joy to work with and made planning our ceremony music so easy. She was very flexible and provided us with great suggestions. The music itself gave my chills just before I walked down the aisle. It was the most perfect touch to our wedding ceremony, I would recommend them over and over again to anyone looking for music.

String source added such an elegant beauty to our ceremony- they played Taylor swift songs and sounded absolutely enchanting. This was such a special element tto our wedding. They are so seamless to work with, and talented. Look no further!

StringSource was a joy to work with! Kanako was so sweet and professional, and she was so responsive throughout the entire process. The music was beautiful at the ceremony. They were willing to learn songs for us but they didn’t even need to be used their song list was so expansive!! Highly recommend!!

String Source are THE MOST beautifully sounding, kindest, professional musicians!! And Kanako is a gem of a human being to work with! They were on top of everything leading up to the day and made me feel taken care of and understood. They helped create the ceremony of my dreamssss and made walking down the isle one of the most special memories❤️ I couldn't image the day without them and would recommend them to anyone!!!!! If you're thinking about hiring them, do it - you'll never regret it. They are worth every penny!!!

We used the String Trio for our wedding prelude and ceremony and the Jazz Trio for our Cocktail Hour. StringSource was wonderful to work with. They were very responsive to our emails and extremely helpful in narrowing down our music choices. We had a lot of positive feedback from our guests as well. We would highly recommend them in any venue as they are very adaptable to your surroundings and music selections.

String Source was the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony for live music! We used them for our wedding in July of 2023 & they were absolutely amazing! Our guests still talk about how beautiful the music sounded! Kanako was amazing with planning our music & throughout the wedding planning process! I HIGHLY recommend String Source!!

Stringsource was so wonderful to work with! Our guests loved it!

StringSource was the perfect addition to our wedding! We had a string quartet play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were so talented! They played all of the songs that I requested and added in others for the prelude and cocktail hour that fit the atmosphere that I was trying to create. StringSource was always quick to message me back and was super helpful in planning this part of the wedding. I can't say enough great things about StringSource!

I cannot say enough great things about String Source! Kanako is amazing to work with, and the string quartet for my daughter's ceremony was absolutely beautiful! We also used a jazz quartet for the cocktail hour thru String Source, and they were also amazing! We are using String Source again for our other daughter's wedding in May! Highly recommend!

We booked StringSource for our ceremony and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They totally set the vibe of the day, and had my guests in awe as they walked into the ceremony space. Not only did they sound amazing, but they were super easy to work with. They were able to play all the songs I requested, which made the day feel so special. I had even mentioned how I was a huge Taylor Swift fan, to which they played a ton of her songs while guests were arriving! I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Such a fun experience! Second line parade at my wedding the other weekend and it was such a unique and fun experience! Such sweet people to work with! Thank you!!

We used the string source duet to preform during our wedding ceremony! They were so easy to work with, and played the songs we picked wonderfully, they made our ceremony exactly how we envisioned

I cannot express enough gratitude to Kanako and the StringSource team. We had them perform at our wedding cocktail hour and they were an absolute delight to work with from beginning to end. Kanako's responsiveness and assistance throughout the process was outstanding, and their performance added the most special touch to our day. Without hesitation, we highly recommend them for any event you have!

String Source was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding! They are extremely quick to respond via email. They are very talented and did exactly what I asked for, from their attire to the playlist I wanted to hear. They were even able to play a few specific songs that are less common. I can't wait to get our wedding video back to hear the music again - our guests loved it. I would absolutely book them again for another event.

StringSource was the perfect addition to our wedding day! Not only did they provide amazing talent for our ceremony and cocktail hour, but they helped us choose songs that fit our wedding day vision and provided input to ensure our ceremony timeline was well planned. Cannot recommend them enough!

Working with StringSource was a dream! We were so thrilled with the music that they played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. StingSource definitely brought a touch of magic to our special day and would HIGHLY recommend!!

StringSource was a joy to work with every step of the way! Not only were they able to play everything we requested — from The Beatles to Nirvana to Elton John — but they blew us away with their performances. I can't say enough good things!

We absolutely loved String Source. We booked Naomi, one of the Cellists and she had no problem with playing our unique choices of song, and she performed them PERFECTLY. We had an outdoor wedding and the sound carried perfectly. It was truly Magical. Thank you for being a part of my dream wedding <3

StringSource played for my wedding and cocktail hour and it was everything I every dreamed of!! The trio was so perfect! They captured the vibe I was looking for and took the songs that I new I wanted to hear and picked other songs that fit the vibe! Kanako was so helpful in planning the music for the processional and gave me options to make sure that I heard what I wanted to hear of the song when I was walking down the aisle! Kanako was a great communicator and answered all our questions promptly and thoroughly! I would recommend them to anyone!

We had StringSource perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding and were absolutely blown away! We had a trio of violin, cello, and piano (keyboard). Kanako was so wonderful to work with and was very quick to respond to our email communications. StringSource was able to play every song we requested and also provided an extensive list of suggestions for weddings. We had a great experience with StringSource and highly recommend them!!

StringSource is an extremely talented group of musicians that are professional, courteous, and fun! The communication is timely, swift, and punctual. We could not have asked for a better trio for our special day! I have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year. They truly made our ceremony and cocktail hour so special.

String Source did a beautiful job for our wedding! We absolutely loved having live music for our ceremony. The strings added such elegance to our special day. String Source was communicative and super easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone interested in live, romantic music for any special event!

StringSource played at our wedding and it was perfection! From the wedding planning process to the actual wedding day, Kanako made it all seamless. 100% recommend!

My husband and I love the "pop goes classical" playlist on Spotify - we will put it on for dinners and try to guess which song it is. Once we had our venue and date picked for our wedding, we knew we wanted to have great music and create a similar experience for our guests - pop music on strings! Our coordinator sent us a few suggestions, and we knew immediately that we wanted to use StringSource for the ceremony and cocktail hour. I had heard of their candlelight performances and seen them on social media. Kanako was fantastic to work with! She provided excellent advice and suggestions. We debated a string trio vs. a quartet, and she helped us determine what was best for us! She also understood the vibe we were looking for with the music, and the songs they played were so perfect! She was very professional but also personable! Kanako was very responsive and thoughtful in all communication. I cannot recommend StringSource enough. Honestly, I was so jealous of all the guests who listened to them play before I walked down for the ceremony! I loved their performance so much I will be going to all their shows now and can't wait to hear them perform again!

StringSource put on an absolutely phenomenal performance at our wedding last Saturday! We had seen them several times around Cincinnati and decided after seeing their first show that we needed to have them play at our cocktail hour for our wedding reception. Not only are these folks super talented musicians, but they were a joy to work with setting it up and our guests absolutely LOVED them - we got so many compliments about the awesome job they did. StringSource, thank you so much for being so great and for helping make our big day that much more special!

String Source is exceptional! They performed at my wedding and I couldn't imagine my ceremony, or cocktail hour any other way! They are so helpful when it comes to choosing songs and going through ideas for a set. Also they are so easy to work with and accommodating. Kanako communicated with me right away to see what I envisioned for my wedding! She was so open to my suggestions I had that they even learned a whole new song for my wedding! I am honestly blown away with how kind and professional they are. I loved that they cared so much to reach out to me and take time to get all the details together. I highly recommend using them for any event, wedding, and/or celebration you have! They really set the tone for a wedding. They made it super classic, and timeless. Thank you for the magical memory String Source!! You made my wedding extra special. <3

We were elated with our experience working with Kanako and her incredibly talented String Source instrumentalists! Kanako made everything seamless in planning my daughter's wedding music from timely response with communications, expertise with music selections and an impeccable musical performance during her wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. Kanako also sent video of the instrumentalists performing during the wedding which was a sweet surprise and most treasured keepsake! I highly recommend Kanako and String Source for their exceptional musical talent and performance, customer service and overall outstanding experience working with them!

If you are even remotely thinking of using a string quartet you have got to book StringSource! They are amazing! I truly can not say enough good thing. Having them took the ceremony and the cocktail hour to the next level!! Don't hesitate to book them!

If you are looking for a String Band to play at any of your events look no further! String source was absolutely amazing to work with and made my dreams come true! Not only are they very kind but they are very accommodative! I received so many compliments at my wedding about how beautiful it was and that having the trio I chose made it so much even better! Thank you guys so much for everything you have done and I hope to catch one of your concerts someday soon! Especially one of your Taylor Swift ones!! You guys rock!! 🤩🥰💕

I absolutely can not say enough wonderful things about Stringsource, their performance at my wedding ceremony, and Kanako. Kanako was so great during the entire wedding planning process. Me and my husband had to move wedding dates and she was more than understanding and ensured that we still had everything that we wanted. Hearing the strings and piano perform Skyfall at my wedding ceremony while I was waiting behind the curtain was a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life. They truly made our ceremony special. Nearly all of our guests talked about how impressed they were with the quartet. (So many of our guests loved hearing the Halo theme song 😭 So cool!) It’s too bad that I blacked out from nerves while walking down the aisle… 😂 but the video that I received from them of Colors of the Wind while I walked was stunning. Just amazing. Thank you so much to Kanako and the other performers who made our ceremony unforgettable. I will recommend them to everybody I know, particularly to brides who want to elevate their most special moment. THANK YOU, STRINGSOURCE!

StringSource was absolutely lovely! You can find them on Instagram and listen to their beautiful music. They were extremely professional from start to finish. Email response was prompt and they reached out to us a few weeks out to make sure we were all set. They even asked what our wedding colors were so that they could coordinate, what more could you ask for? They are very reasonably priced and I recommend them to anyone looking to put a "special touch" on their special day! They have different price options based on how many strings you want, as well as prices for ceremony only, or to add the cocktail hour. Wedding planning can be stressful, but StringSource was a vendor that we knew we could trust! Bravo!

We had StringSource play at our wedding ceremony and we couldn’t have been happier to have them be a part of our day! From start to finish they were an absolute pleasure to work with- always incredibly responsive and helpful in anyway they could, including giving us a wide list of song options to choose from. Their performance at the ceremony made for the perfect setting and added a special touch to the wedding ceremony. We would highly recommend them for any event!!!
