I absolutely recommend The String Girls to anyone looking for that additional special touch to their wedding! Not only are they extremely talented, but also a breeze to work with which is so helpful within the whirlwind of wedding planning. They and their music brought such beauty to our ceremony and cocktail hour; plus they have a strong song repertoire to choose from, from beloved classics to charming modern covers. Having them was genuinely a dream come true.

Their instruments comprise violin and cello, and they are available to set the tone for rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, and cocktail hours. The String Girls want to bring your wedding vision to life with beautiful and memorable live music. They can elevate your event by adding an element of elegance.

ll us how beautiful it felt walking in to hear them playing and how fun it was to guess the songs. They were so easy to work with and had us choose a fun variety of songs from their repertoire list and even played two custom arrangements. We cannot recommend them enough!

ul! The music was beautiful and I'm so happy we chose to hire them to play for our ceremony. There's just something about live string music that makes a wedding even more special! They have a long repertoire list too so we were able to choose lots of beautiful songs for the ceremony. And they were so nice and waited for us to finish our photos so we could meet them in person! Would definitely recommend them!

We had the pleasure of having The String Girls, Olivia and Bridie, perform at our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with their beautiful music and exceptional service. Fr...

om the moment we first contacted them, Olivia and Bridie were incredibly kind and accommodating, making the entire process a breeze. They were not only professional but also genuinely passionate about ensuring our wedding day was nothing short of magical. One of the highlights was their willingness to learn and perform a song that held special significance for us but wasn't part of their usual repertoire. Their rendition was simply beautiful and added an extra layer of emotion as we walked down the aisle, so much so that we were inspired to order a recorded track from them to include on our wedding highlights video. Their services are worth every penny and then more, especially considering the quality of their performance and the personalized touches they provided. The String Girls were undoubtedly the perfect addition to our special day, elevating the atmosphere and creating memories that will last a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend The String Girls to anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and warmth to their event. Thank you, Olivia and Bridie, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

songs to select but also providing their expert recommendation. Birdie and Olivia worked with us and our budget, which was super refreshing especially during the wedding process. They were super flexible on the day when we had to quickly pivot due to the rain. I'm so glad we went with them! They really delivered a warm and delightful experience (our guests were raving about them!) and I was so happy that they brought my Taylor Swift / Adele vision to our ceremony.

oices to choose from on their repertoire, and they even played one that wasn't on their repertoire for me "Tale as old as time" as I walked down the aisle. It was such a special touch having string instruments during the ceremony. If you're torn between DJ or strings during your ceremony, this is your sign to do strings!

remony to start! We joked with them that our only regret as bride and groom is that we didn’t get to sit in the woods and listen as they played too! Haha Walking down the aisle as they played was a magical experience! We wholeheartedly recommend these talented ladies for your next special event!

selections. I was so impressed by how natural and seamless their entire set was. We received so many compliments from our guests on the ceremony music -- you won't regret adding this special touch to your day!!
