I absolutely loved working with Janie + Vanderbilt Strings. From the very beginning, I was excited to work with these talented musicians. Their portal of different songs I could ch...

oose for my ceremony was awesome, but even more so, I had several songs that were not a part of their library that they crafted and perfected for my big day. I had so many guests saying how nice and how cool it was to hear some of their favorite songs played during the ceremony in such a beautiful way. Thank you, thank you for making our day so special!

Such beautiful music! They have a great set list already and when I requested a few songs not on the list they had NO problem learning the songs. Everything was so beautiful and th...

Without a doubt the best! Super flexible, laid back, beyond talented, and very easy to work with! Within one day of submitting our request, Janie was able to find sheet music for a...

song we wanted (even though it wasn't on their list). After our ceremony, the trio filled the remaining time with the PERFECT music to fit the vibe of our wedding- no direction needed. Like all beach ceremonies, the weather was a factor (until about 30 minutes before we walked down the isle)... Janie was super flexible and very reassuring that things would work out- which they did. They accommodated some last minute changes and were an absolute pleasure to interact with (only wish we had more time to do so). No need to look any further- this group will deliver everything you expect and more! Our wedding would not have been the same without them- truly talented musicians and a joy to work with.

tale. There are numerous songs to choose from, and Janie helped me through that process. Every part of the process ran so smooth and I never had to worry or question a thing. They made my wedding day so special.

I could go on and on about how wonderful the Vanderbilt Strings are. I had a quartet of 4 wonderful ladies play for my beach wedding ceremony on Sanibel Island. My fiance and I had...

always wanted a quartet on our special day and we found the right group to make it all the more magical. They played music that I sent (sheet music) and they understood my vision. They played wonderful music and Janie was very helpful. She made everything clear and easy for me! It was a destination wedding for us but she made it a breeze for us to coordinate. My family and guests all loved the music and still talk about it. I am so happy with the outcome and so happy to have it all on video (graphy) so I can enjoy it for years and years. Thank you Vanderbilt Strings for everything.

We had a trio play during the ceremony on the beach and the music was absolutely lovely. It was a hot day but they preservered and the music sounded just wonderful. There was a s...

light hiccup with the payment before the wedding - apparently we had accidentally made the check out to the Vanderbilt strings and that wasn't what they had expected, but we didn't have any problem with them leaving during the wedding or anything like that. They seemed very professional and did a very nice job.
