Tera vista strings did a great job communicating leading up to the ceremony. Before the ceremony it began to rain and the quartet had to move further away under an overhang in orde...
r to play. We were grateful that they quickly recovered from this unexpected event. However, during our ring warming ceremony a member of the quartet had to signal the other musicians how far along the box warming ceremony was (in order to know how long to play). This member was yelling so loudly that it could be heard very clearly during a very quiet and peaceful moment of the ceremony. This happened twice where the musician shouted “they’re about halfway done!”. It really killed the moment which was supposed to be a heartfelt part of the ceremony. Me and my wife felt like if we could have done things differently we would not haven chosen them.

We hired a string trio from Terra Vista Strings for our March wedding in Austin. They were super easy to work with and have a wide catalogue of music (available on their website - ...
take a look!). They will also learn new songs for an extra charge. We didn’t have them learn a new song since we were happy with the music already available in their catalogue. They were responsive over email and super professional, and helped us out with suggestions (number of songs for cocktail hour, what songs to play before the ceremony, etc.).
On the day of the wedding, they sounded great! They started each new song at the exact right time for the different parts of our ceremony. I only wish I could have heard more of them (but alas, as the bride, I couldn’t sit on the porch and listen while guests were arriving). I would absolutely recommend them!

nockouts! We had a rain storm (!) during the cocktail hour and they swiftly moved under cover and continued to perform flawlessly - truly, consummate professionals! As other brides have said, they have an extensive catalog of traditional and contemporary music, including 90s and 2000s hits - and they performed some unconventional choices at our request - such as Zelda’s Lullaby and Born to Run! Having a live string trio of such amazing musicians elevated the entire event and made it unique and memorable - book them ASAP and you will be glad you did!

o work with, and so many compliments from our guests! Only regret we had was that we didn’t get to enjoy more of their music ourselves since we had to be away taking photos during cocktail hour. (Funny enough, the music did carry through the venue and we got to hear it when we were outside, providing a kind of movie score feeling for us as we were taking pictures beneath the trees. A very special memory I will hold with me!) Couldn’t be happier!

ly, as the bride, I had to hear the praise from my guests and didn't get to hear it all myself since I was being paraded around for pictures. I only got to hear the music during the ceremony and it literally transformed the ceremony into the most magical event!!! I requested Canon in D and when I walked down the aisle, it brought tears to my eyes. The investment in a string trio was well worth it as it elevated the entire event and added such elegance that I am SO happy we chose them. Music is subjective but I can't recommend them enough, if you're thinking about adding strings, go with Terra Vista!

. One note is that you're required to provide a space heater if having an outdoor wedding where the temperature is 55 degrees or below - I completely understand why but wanted to flag this for others (a sudden cold front came in the weekend of our wedding, so we were scrambling a bit).

They were very responsive to all our inquiries and absolutely did their best to fulfill all our requests, even when they were a bit unusual. Their music selection is quite large, and we loved that there were popular classical as well as contemporary music selections available. It was very easy to pick songs we wanted for our ceremony (we were provided an example list and we just went through the songs on our own), and we just wanted any kind of contemporary music from their list played for the reception and dinner – which they did beautifully! We highly recommend Terra Vista Strings if you want strings music at your wedding/event!!

(it was beautiful out) and I guess were a bit snippy with her. I'm sure they just had a bad day, but it was incredibly disappointing after the great service we received in preparation for our day. This is our biggest regret from our wedding. :( It's really sad since we specially chose songs for them to play (and they even arranged some for us!). I'm sure it's not their fault, but it just didn't work at all and it really bummed me out that my husband didn't even hear the song I was surprising him with walking down the aisle.

We went with a string trio for our ceremony music and Terra Vista was the best choice we could have made.
They played beautifully, but also accommodated our requests for more 'off ...
the beaten path' music like Zelda, Final fantasy, LOTR, etc. Whatever you can dream of, they can play it.
While our guests were being seated, they offered to just "play to the crowd" with string renditions of contemporary and film music. They did an amazing job, and several of our guests excitedly came to us to say they'd heard a string version of a beloved song.
Terra Vista was also great value for money, and I would highly recommend to anyone as well as book again for any future events.

g Crazy Rich Asians I KNEW I wanted to walk down to "Can't Help Falling in love" 😍😂😏 Well Terra Vista Strings made it happen!
We are in San Antonio and originally wanted to hire Cello Vida, but they were booked since we waited the last minute 🥺 Then we tried booking another Strings company and they were so rude to us and charging over $200 than was in our budget. Finally, we heard about TVS (I think through a FB bridal group) and had nothing but pleasant experiences in all our interactions 😀
From the first email, they were so quick to respond and professional. Once we booked, we got set up for a consultation phone call to go over song selections and since we wanted contemporary music, they sent over suggestions and also have some samples on their website to listen to!
At consultation, I had an idea of what songs I wanted and 2 weren't on their suggestions or website but they still accommodated me 😀 Anthony said they have a sheet music library they can pull from, but if you request a song that isn't in that you'd just have have pay for the sheet music too.
They were also extremely flexible since I changed a few songs around once or twice or maybe three times 🤭 lol They never got upset or said no, they made it work and were happy to help! Amazing customer service!💯
On the big day, you can imagine everything is a blur and very fast paced. I will never forget walking down the aisle with my parents and the strings playing so beautifully 😍💕😭 I also remember halo playing as we kissed and the recessional! My hubby absolutely loved it and we were jealous of the guests for being able to hear the whole set, pre ceremony music/bridal party+family walk/recessional and all! We hope we'll get videos from videographers of all the music because from what I heard it was beautiful beyond words 😍
Thanks so much for being a part of our day, and you definitely won't regret booking them!
