My husband and I sadly didn’t get to enjoy them as much since we missed our cocktail hour to take photos but our processional in and our first dance were wonderful and all of our guests had nothing but good things to say! Communication was seamless and Katarina answered every question I had! Song list is extensive as well. Would definitely recommend them for any event!
Luna Strings was super professional and a pleasure to work with! They made our ceremony even more beautiful. I worked with Katerina in the months leading up to my wedding and she was attentive, responsive, and helpful. They have an extensive list of songs on their website to select from, and they even learned a couple other songs for us that weren't in their list. Their music was beautiful and they're super talented. Thank you again!!
This is the second time our family has enjoyed the music from Luna Strings, and we were so pleased to have them play at our daughter’s wedding recently at The Piedmont Room. They are very professional and have a wide selection of music available from traditional classical selections to jazz to folk to pop/rock music. My daughter chose to surprise her fiancé on their wedding day with music selections that reminded him of their competing college allegiances. Only a string trio can pull that off during a solemn wedding ceremony. Thank You Erica and Luna Strings!
Luna Strings were awesome. They have an expansive playlist of classical and modern songs, and were super professional and easy to work with. They made our ceremony very special despite COVID. I would highly recommend them.
Luna Strings played at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I chose them because they play such a wide range of songs on strings, classical, rock, movie theme songs... you name it. My now husband wanted Journey - Don't Stop Believing to be our recessional song and they played that beautifully on strings. They helped make my wedding even more elegant & classy and also fun. Also very reliable to work with and responsive to e-mails. I loved them. Book them now :)
Luna Strings played for our daughter's ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful! They were easy to work with, on time, and played along with the church organist. Erica was my contact person and I could not recommend an easier group to work with. They added a beautiful touch to the ceremony! thank you Luna Strings for making our day a special one!
Luna Strings was such a wonderful addition to my wedding ceremony. With minimal guidance, they set a beautiful and upbeat tone for the guests' first impression of the ceremony while they were being seated. Additionally, Luna Strings worked with me to compose a string rendition of a specific song that was not originally in their repertoire, for me to walk to down the aisle to (at a fair additional cost). I especially appreciated that Luna Strings has a large repertoire from which I was easily able to pick the additional music for the ceremony and felt supported in picking music that would flow together well. My emails were returned quickly and professionally and my day of coordinator informed me that she had a similar experience. All three members of Luna Strings arrived on time, dressed professionally and appropriately, and seamlessly set up/broke down their small amount of equipment. I highly recommended Luna Strings!
So pleased with my choice to book Luna Strings! They customized a piece for my wedding and they made the ambiance so beautiful! They are such a nice touch to any ceremony!
Luna Strings was so lovely to work with. They played the most beautiful ceremony music and they had a wonderful list of options. Working with them was so easy, they always responded quickly and gave me recommendations when I needed them. They really completed my ceremony and made it feel special and unique; everyone talked about how fabulous they sounded. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!!
We hired Luna Strings for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour, and the were absolutely amazing! They are so talented and easy to work with, and we received so many complements on the music. We had a church wedding ceremony, and they know a great deal of classic songs (which was very important to the church and my parents), so they did a wonderful job. Highly recommend!
Kat and her team were so great! Kat gave us great recommendations too. I I wish I could give them more than 5 stars, excellent!
We were so pleased with the decision to have Luna Strings perform at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Erica was always prompt to reply to emails and they were early to the wedding to begin setting up and know where to move for cocktail hour! Their repertoire of music was great and they were able to accommodate all of my wishes! The music was beautiful for our ceremony and they were able to play all the upbeat music I wanted for our cocktail hour! We couldn't have been more pleased! Thank you, Luna Strings!
Luna Strings was one of the first vendors I booked after signing an agreement with Kimball Hall. I appreciated being able to hear classical versions of new songs on their website to help make my choices. Katerina was fast to respond to my questions and was patient in guiding me to choose the music for the wedding and prelude for guest arrival. Our guests thought it was a fun touch and we really appreciated their professionalism. - Tori and Jason Link
Luna Strings was incredibly easy to work with - they have an extensive repertoire and made excellent suggestions and recommendations for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were also able to accommodate our special requests... and they killed it. It was perfect in every way, and we would recommend Luna Strings a thousand times over.
If I'm honest, I didn't actually get to hear much of what Luna Strings played since I was hiding in a bridal suite for most of it. The little I did get to hear during the ceremony was perfect and our guests said they really enjoyed the music that was played. I can tell you booking and working through the details with Katerina was easy and fun. We had an unusual processional...no bridal party, but there was a kid parade and she helped make sure that at least the musical side of things was perfect. If you need a string trio around Atlanta you've found them. Book Luna Strings!
We hired Luna Strings for our outdoor wedding. It was a Jewish ceremony, and they recommended just the right songs to make everything beautiful and traditional. They showed up on time, and were very professional. The music was beautiful and guests commented how it really tied everything together. Highly recommend!!
Before the wedding everything was ok, the communication was fast and the contract came right after. In the day of the wedding they immediately looked for a shadow and sat behind the chuppah, so the guest had difficult to listen. They didn't play the first music I choose for my family "Amazing grace", which supposed to be a surprise to my family. I already emailed them and nobody answered me back! Very unprofessional.
Positive: -good communication before the wedding
-good song selection to pick from
-user friendly website
Negative: - expect us to pay for EACH vehicle at the venue
-did not step up where we wanted them to be so they were visible to guests
- did not play as guests were arriving like agreed upon in the contract
- went to a family member of the bride and groom and demanded they pay an extra fee for the wedding running late
- couldn't hear them very well
- poor communication day of the wedding
- emailed them my frustration and unappreciation of their professionalism and they never emailed back
We signed a contract and held up to our end of it. They did NOT!
Katerina and Luna Strings were great at my outdoor wedding and inside cocktail hour. Would highly recommend them!
We were so pleased with their flawless performances at our wedding this past weekend.
I listened through the collapsible wall to the solo, and the soloist's work was so good and so dedicated, especially because I asked for a fast tempo Bach partita.
I am so glad Luna Strings was available for the event, and we will enthusiastically offer our recommendation here and in person to people looking for a professional and talented trio.
I had selected Luna Strings to play live classical music for our wedding ceremony at Park Tavern. I communicated with Katerina directly to make song selections and design our ceremony. She was always very responsive and answered all my questions. But I want to be honest because I don't remember hearing any of the music I selected because no one tells you as the bride that you will feel so overwhelmed with emotion and excitement the whole experience feels somewhat out of body but I have heard from my guests that the music was beautiful. Note to future brides that if you select Park Tavern as your ceremony location please ask the musicians if it is possible to use microphones. It is a real possibility that you will be competing with football marching bands that will ruin the sound of your beautiful string trio.
Luna Strings was an amazing vendor to work with! Before the wedding they were easy to get in touch with and were able to accommodate my special request. Also, they have a wide variety of songs and genre to choose from!
On the actual day of the wedding they arrived on-time, set the mood beautifully before the ceremony, played everything perfectly as the wedding party walked down the isle, and were a great touch during the cocktail hour.
You couldn't ask for more when looking for a string trio!
Luna Strings was the perfect touch to our ceremony. They provided a perfect ambiance as our guest arrived as well as leading up to and during the ceremony. We couldn't have been more pleased with the professionalism they showed leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. We would highly recommend Luna Strings to anyone! They did a beautiful job!
I could not have asked for more from Luna Strings! I worked mostly with Katerina and she was so helpful in helping me choose the music for our ceremony - I knew kind of what I wanted overall, but definitely knew what I wanted my husband and I to walk out of our ceremony to - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", and Luna Strings delivered! (pun intended) They also played during our cocktail hour and I was so excited they could do some "hip hop" and classic rock songs that everyone loves. Overall we were extremely pleased with Luna Strings - if I had an excuse to hire them again for event I would in a heartbeat and I recommend them 100%!
I am so glad we hired Luna Strings to play music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. I received many compliments afterwards from my guests on how much they loved the music. I primarily worked with Erica. She helped guide me on choosing a set list based on some primary songs that I knew I wanted for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Everything went off without a hitch!
These ladies are awesome. They did an amazing job. People are still commenting on their beautiful music.
Luna Strings was perfect for our ceremony. Their music was elegant and added a wonderful touch to our special day. We had a friend of the family that wanted to sing at the wedding and they said no problem. They even scheduled a rehearsal with him to insure everything was perfect for our day. Thank you Luna Strings for helping to make this memory unforgettable.
I had the best experience working with Luna Strings. My primary contact was Katerina and she was so awesome. They have a huge repertoire so we had a lot of options when it came to making song choices. They arranged one piece for us and it was beautiful.
They really gave us a great opportunity to demonstrate our personalities during the ceremony.
we had 3 songs to request outside of their repetoire and they arranged the music themselves!
