Performed beautifully and were very easy to work with! Would give more stars if we could!!!
Dan from Sunset Strings was absolutely amazing for our wedding! We got so many compliments from guests on how beautiful the music was. I even asked him to switch a song the night before the wedding, and he did it without any hesitation—so accommodating and professional. He made everything feel seamless and special. If you’re thinking about hiring him, do it! You won’t regret it.
Amazing performance, lovely, on time. Thank you!
Dan and his team were AMAZING! I knew live music during cocktail hour and the ceremony was important to me and they delivered. We did a duo during the ceremony and electric violin for cocktail hour and I felt both were the perfect choice. When our outdoor ceremony got rained out they were very accommodating. I would absolutely recommend them!
Sunset Strings quartet was absolutely beautiful for our wedding at Simpson Lakes! They have a fantastic repertoire to choose from and absolutely delivered. 10/10 recommend!
Very professional vendor. Bride provided music selections for procession, father/daughter entrance and exit with groom. Music was soft and beautiful. Musicians were very friendly and worked well with the venue. Would definitely recommend this company.
Communicated well. Open to whatever special requests we had. Expert musicians and all around nice people.
I had a strings duo play for my wedding ceremony and they were perfect. Great communication, professionalism, and the music was beautiful. Overall the experience was great. I highly recommend!
Erica was very professional and easy to work with. Booking was very easy and we loved that we were able to listen to samples of their performances on their website. We hired Sunset Strings to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They did an amazing job and really contributed to making the day so beautiful. Cannot recommend them enough.
Erica was wonderful to work with during the wedding planning. The 2 performers we booked for day of were professional and excellent. I had quite a few comments about how nice it was to have live music as a part of the day.
Sunset Strings provided the perfect touch to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Communication throughout the planning process was prompt and clear. Their extensive repertoire had every song we’d envisioned for the event. I won’t soon forget hearing their string trio’s beautiful renditions as I walked down the aisle. Thank you Sunset Strings!
What an amazing team! Sunset strings was such a nice touch to our amazing wedding day! We got SO many compliments on how amazing they sounded and how it was such a great addition to our special day. Customer service is also AMAZING!!
The violin added such a classic feel to the wedding, thank you so much for everything, I really recommend Sunset Strings for any of your occasions, thank you Erica
Sunset Strings made our son’s beach wedding so special and meaningful. The bride said that’s all she heard walking with her dad on the beach to meet my son. And my son said ‘that was a really nice touch, mom’. Worth every penny.
Sunset Strings was Fabulously talented and great to work with!
They communicated promptly and were always courteous and pleasant to work with! They were such a wonderful addition to the wedding! I would highly recommend this group.
Erika and her team were great. Professional, helpful, and super easy to work with/book with. Even the payment process was easy. Although my ceremony still feels like a blur, I couldn't have imagined it without them. Highly recommend!
My husband and I recently had our wedding in April 2023 and loved having a solo violinist from sunset strings play during our ceremony! They were very responsive and understood exactly the experience we were looking for! I would definitely recommend using them for any live musical needs
Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her ensemble made our big day that much more special. She was also kind enough to help coordinate a surprise song for my husband on the beach. He was blown away, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. A truly one-of-a-kind group that I'd gladly work with again!
We hired a single violinist to play music for my husband and I’s wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Erica was our point of contact for booking and was incredibly professional and assisted with any questions I had throughout the process in a timely manner. Dan was our violinist for our wedding day and his performances were absolutely beautiful!! For the ceremony we had requested special songs and he played them wonderfully. Hiring a live musician gave our ceremony and cocktail hour such a romantic feeling. I would highly recommend Sunset Strings and am so grateful they contributed to making our dream wedding a reality.
We hired a violinist for our outdoor garden ceremony and it was the perfect touch! Sunset strings has a quick and easy process to book where you can even listen to songs before you choose them. Highly recommend!!
We hired Sunset Strings for our wedding ceremony and couldn't have been happier with our decision! They played beautifully and elevated our ceremony experience so much. They were also timely, communicative, and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!!
Erica was always very communicative and we’re so glad they could accommodate the songs we requested! We chose the violin and cello duo and it was great.
Everyone still talks about the Violinist. It was the perfect touch to our wedding. Sunset strings was truly amazing. It added perfect touch of romance.

Words can't describe how incredible our wedding ceremony was. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the quartet performance sounded and how classy it was having strings play before and during the ceremony.
We married on May 6th at the Ringling Museum in front of the Cadzan mansion. It was such a seamless and effortless process working with Erica and the Sunset Strings Team. They were very professional and responsive as they assisted me in creating the perfect song selections that were romantic and timeless. Another major plus was the team has a vast selection of songs in their catalog. We were super excited to see certain songs listed. We chose some classical pieces as well as contemporary songs and the transitions were smooth and everything was perfectly timed. I felt so secure and overjoyed with happiness as I walked down the aisle completely immersed in the music and looking at at my smiling husband. It was truly and honor and a privilege to have such talented musicians perform at our wedding making it an unforgettable event. Our guests gushed that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Book this team for your wedding, you will be glad that you did. They are spectacular!
Sunset Strings did an amazing job at our wedding on May 6th at Sunken Gardens. They were easy to work with in selecting our ceremony and cocktail hour music. We even asked them to play the Mission Impossible Theme when our security agent ringbearer walked down the aisle. It was a hit! They showed up on time and our guests were so impressed. Thank you, Sunset Strings, for being a part of our beautiful day!
They did a great job working with us to build and refine the music we wanted included during our wedding and cocktail hour, and they totally delivered. I would highly recommend Sunset Strings and their wonderful sound for other weddings and events.
Our string duo from Sunset Strings was incredible, and the perfect touch to our wedding. My husband and I were recently married at The Vinoy and wanted string musicians who could match the classic and elegant feel of the hotel. However, given the younger crowd at our wedding, we also wanted string musicians who could play string music with a modern twist. The incredibly talented musicians at Sunset Strings were able to seamlessly transition from classic music for our ceremony to more modern songs for our cocktail hour. Our string duo were very easy to work with, showed up on time, and played absolutely beautiful music for our wedding. Thank you to Erica and team at Sunset Strings for adding the perfect touch to our wedding!
Sunset Strings was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were incredibly flexible with all the additional songs we asked them to play and were very quick to respond to all our questions. The musicians did a beautiful job and I would recommend them to anyone looking to add live music to their wedding!
The day is blur to me, so my review is mainly based off of feedback from my guests! They raved about the string duo and commented on what a special touch live musicians provided to the ceremony and cocktail hour. The planning process with Sunset Strings was also extremely easy and organized. I highly recommend!
We hired a string duo to play before and during our ceremony. It was such a beautiful touch to our wedding. The string players were prompt and professional and played beautifully. I loved getting to enjoy their warm-up rehearsal while we were taking wedding party photos before guests began to arrive. We requested a special song for us that wasn't in their repertoire and they accommodated us. We appreciated it so much!
We had such an amazing experience with Sunset Strings! We booked a cellist and violinist for our cocktail hour and had a seamless experience both pre-wedding and day of. The music was absolutely gorgeous and played a part in making our day so perfect!
The string trio was the perfect addition to our destination wedding. It kept the vibes intimate, romantic and classy! It was so beautifully played throughout the evening and all our guests raved about it!
Erica was great! Very organized, easy to work with and the music was lovely ! Would def recommend :)
Sunset Strings did an amazing job at our wedding on December 31st. They were very responsive, easy to work with and their selections were beautiful. Our guests enjoyed listening to them pre-ceremony and during cocktail hour. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to use a quartet for their wedding and/or other event!
Sunset Strings performed at our wedding ceremony and did a fantastic job! They were easy to coordinate with, were prompt for set up, and the music was beautiful. It added such a special touch to our day and we're so grateful we chose them.
Our violinist for our small outdoor ceremony was just wonderful! Everyone loved her and her beautiful music!
Thank you so much, Sunset Strings!
Sunset strings was a wonderful addition to our wedding! We used them for our small covid ceremony and again for our larger wedding. They were very easy to work with-respond quickly, show up on time, play beautifully, and have a ton of songs to choose from. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone!
Great & easy communication. I gave details of what I wanted, picked songs, gave some of the setup requirements (beach venue) and they took care of the rest. I used a single violinist who was on time, sounded great, and played on que.
Although I couldn’t hear the violinist while I was hidden away before the ceremony my guests all said that it really complimented the venue. Why I did hear was my favorite song being played as I walked down the aisle, it was beautiful and everything I dreamed of. Erica is great to work with, and the song catalog is extensive!
The string quartet MADE our ceremony and cocktail hour! I want to say thank you so much to Sunset Strings. I requested FOUR songs (I provided the sheet music) for our ceremony, they played each one perfectly. They also played beautifully during cocktail hour, where we chose to have them play top 40s. Thank you again!
Played beautifully at my wedding!
Erica and her team are amazing! The violinist made my ceremony so magical! He was able to execute each song eloquently. They are also very professional and responsive. COVID-19 messed up my original date but they were so accommodating without hesitation. I highly recommend!
Wonderful, professional!
Amazing! The string quartet played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a beautiful job. Very professional and excellent musicians. Erica was a pleasure to work with from the start. She was very responsive and professional
in her communication and the booking, payment, and song selection process was super easy and convenient. Many guests commented on how great the quartet was! Thank you Sunset Strings!
Sunset Strings was amazing to work with and made my day sound beautiful! Erica was super easy to communicate with and I never went more than a few hours without a response. I had a traditional Catholic wedding, so I was at first nervous about using outside musicians. But Sunset Strings was familiar with the sequence of events and was able to flow seamlessly with the church organist and cantor. Having them play my entrance song was a great choice since I tend to walk fast and they were able to watch the whole time and perfectly time it out for the ending to happen right when I reached the altar. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for live ceremony musicians!
We reserved sunset strings to play for our wedding ceremony last minute and they delivered! The process of reserving them, picking songs and the day of was quick and easy. As the bride, I didn’t get a chance to listen to the beautiful music and was so disappointed. However, we received so many shining compliments during the wedding and after regarding sunset strings and their amazing ensemble. My only regret, I wish they could have played longer for us!!! I would recommend them in a heartbeat, they took away any stress or concerns we might have had regarding the ceremony music. I just knew we were in great hands!!
Sunset strings was amazing to work with! They did a wonderful job at our wedding and the music was beautiful!
Sunset Strings did a wonderful job. They are very professional and was able to create a fantastic ambiance for our dream wedding. They also were able to play a song not on their list for me to walk down the aisle to. I highly recommend Sunset Strings
We had Sunset Strings for our wedding on Longboat Key on Feb. 27, 2021. Erica was fantastic to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Her team was even able to play Coldplay and U2 song requests we wanted to be played at certain times throughout the ceremony. The music was beautiful and we received many compliments from guests. Highly recommend Erica and her team for those looking for string music for their wedding!
Erica and Sunset String made for the most perfect touch to our wedding day. My now husband and I knew we wanted a violinist to be a part of cocktail hour, and Erica was so easy to work with that it was a no-brainer when it came time to book. She was quick to respond, made payments easy and was very informative. On our wedding day, the violinist arrived so promptly, was dressed professionally tying in with our wedding theme and most importantly, performed flawlessly. I received many compliments after our wedding on the beautiful touch of the violinist and am so glad we decided to book with Sunset Strings. I'd HIGHLY recommend them to anyone even thinking of it.
Erica/Sunset strings was amazing!!!!!!! She was so easy to work with, was responsive, payment portal was easy and best of all, she took the time to understand my wedding vision perfectly. I would recommend Sunset Strings to anyone. They played beautifully for our ceremony/ cocktail hour and helped my vision come to life
My husband and I knew we always want to have live music for our ceremony and for our cocktail hour with the sunset as our backdrop. We felt it was the only way to do it and as soon as we began our search and as soon as i found sunset strings, it was a no brainer. Erica was so professional and kind and got back to me so quickly and was happy to accommodate us and help us through the process. It was so easy. All of our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful it was and how talented they were. It was seriously perfect and we recommend them 1000%!
Sunset Strings was INCREDIBLE!!! If you are looking to have live music/strings at your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception, I would highly highly recommend them. My husband and I got married in Sarasota last weekend and booked a duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They arrived promptly on time, looked extremely professional, and sounded amazing. Everyone complimented me on their performance and sound. Our wedding size was around 65 people and the duo was perfect for sound.
Before the wedding, everything was seamless working with Erica. She was so friendly and helpful and always responded quickly. I requested three songs for our ceremony that weren't in their list of songs, and Erica was able to find sheet music for all three of them. I did have to pay a small fee for the editing one of the sheets but it was totally worth it to have the song I envisioned!
I am so glad I chose to extend my time with them to have them play during cocktail hour as well. It was beautiful and created the magical vibes I had always dreamed of :) totally worth every dollar I spent! Again, HIGHLY recommend them!!
Erica, I just want to say a great big thank you for everything. Your husband and the Cellist were so good & professional, all of the music & timing was perfect. I can't say enough. Thank you for helping making my daughters day special. 5 stars!!

Sunset strings was AWESOME. We were communicating with Erica and she was always quick to respond. They arrived on time and dressed to match my wedding attire (black tie). It was a pleasure working with them! They are so talented.
Sunset strings was one of the best decisions we made to add to our wedding ceremony. All of our guests had something great to say about their music. They are so easy to work with and are there to answer any questions and help you make your wedding beautiful!! They made our wedding ceremony complete!!! Highly recommend
A M A Z I N G!
Hire Sunset Strings for my wedding on Saturday and there are simply not enough words to explain how great the music was. Every single song was beautiful, the sound was top notch, very professional, best of the best hands down. All my family members were completely mesmerized with how beautiful the violin music was. They brought an electric violin and amplified sound system and it was just perfect. Made my wedding so memorable. Very professional and on time. Look no further, THIS IS IT!
My husband and I had such a great experience with Sunset Strings performing at our wedding! They were so helpful and kind throughout the planning process. I was able to choose which songs fit best to make the ceremony most personal and it gave our outdoor ceremony such an elegant touch. With choosing a more boho style wedding I wanted to be sure it was still elegant and classy and they were such an important piece to creating that feeling at our ceremony and cocktail hour! I would absolutely recommend them to any other brides looking for strings at their wedding!
I had a sunset string quartet for my ceremony and the electric violinist for my cocktail hour and all were incredible! They played great music and added such a romantic feel to our big day!
Absolutely amazing! We ended up having to postpone our wedding about 40 days out due to covid, but still did a small minimony. Erica was very easy to work with on switching dates and we also hired her for our minimony. She was absolutely wonderful even though our day was a bit chaotic and we did not have a day planner to give her direction. 100% recommend.
