Vermilion Strings

incredibly talented musicians, but their professionalism and flexibility made working with them a delight. Communication was always quick and easy. Thank you Vermilion Strings for making our day even more memorable with your beautiful melodies! Five stars doesn't seem enough to express our gratitude. Highly recommended for anyone seeking live music for their wedding!

r hiccup, and I admit that was our fault, but it was the start time. They thought my wife was going to walk down the aisle at 5:00PM, our mistake for giving the wrong time, but they waited until 5:20PM for her to walk down the aisle. To that we do apologize, but they were extremely understanding and I assume that happens often at weddings. I would highly recommend this trio, they made everyone cry when my wife was walking down the aisle 🤣.

sat for the ceremony as well as then playing for the entrances of the wedding party and myself. The whole team was extremely professional and helpful at every turn and I can't recommend them enough!

very easy. From helping with the music selections, to already being acquainted with our small church way out in Mowata (WOW), I cannot have been more pleased with the total experience I had. That was probably the easiest piece of the wedding by far and it was only because Lauren was so great to work with. And the music was just PERFECT!!!

ning and the music she provided was beautiful and appropriate. We would highly recommend Vermilion Strings for your event!

r string duo sounds wonderful at our small courtyard (Court of Two Sisters) wedding.

d a large repertoire of songs to select from, and they also learned a few additional songs that we requested. They were SOOO good!!!!! The musicians were extremely friendly and professional. Would recommend them without a doubt.

! As someone who is classically trained in piano, good music was a must for my wedding ceremony. Vermilion Strings was definitely the right decision. My only regret is that our church sat them in the choir loft, so we didn’t actually get to see them on our wedding day. Regardless, I promise you won’t regret booking with them!

easy to work with and I love listening to their repertoire on the website. Makes choosing the music much easier, and yet harder because every piece is beautiful. We cannot recommend them enough.

to work with, thank you vermilion for everything.

, I did the 3 strings + vocalist, and OMG , such a pretty sound! Love them!

Strings.

to emails and gave great recommendations when we asked for advice. My only regret was that I never had a chance to thank them! Would highly recommend Vermillion Strings!

ommunicate with and work with! We highly recommend Joel and Vermilion Strings for any wedding or event you may have!

ing. Booking was so easy and they were incredibly responsive. The music sounded amazing and truly elevated the romantic atmosphere.

his music! We had so many compliments about how beautifully he played. We even had a song that was not very well known for the groom's walk down the aisle and he nailed it!! It was a surprise for the groom and his groomsmen and the smiles when Joel started playing the song, were priceless! What made it even more special, was how gracious and sweet Joel was throughout the entire planning and the day of the wedding. We LOVED him and so will you!!

s because of the professionalism and overall perfect performance. Was happy to give them the info, it was well deserved. Happy I decided to go with Vermillion strings, it really tied everything together!

o was a lovely addition to our wedding! Vermilion Strings provided the perfect, classy atmosphere we wanted for our wedding and we are so appreciative! We would highly recommend them for any event!

website has an amazing selection of music to work with, and their music will add such a beautiful element to your special day. I highly recommend working with Vermillion Strings if you are getting married in the area. Thank you for a beautiful day!

. They showed up on time, performed beautifully, and we received many compliments from our wedding guests. They were a lifesaver!! Thanks again!

modate our request with advanced notice. I appreciated the reminder about providing the band a covering well before our wedding date so we could have everything ready for them to go. Very easy to work with and a great addition to our ceremony!

erfectly for our wedding. Working with them leading up the wedding, they were kind, efficient, and flexible.

t for a dinner style reception. We looked into hiring a violinist or a cellist, but ultimately decided a cellist when we listened to samples from Vermillion’s website. We were able to choose from so many great options to have played during our reception and even could request a special song for our first dance. The music was so beautifully played as well! Looking back at videos from our reception, I’m so happy we decided to go with Vermillion Strings. All interactions I had with them were professional and our cellist the day of was so talented and so sweet. I can’t thank her enough for the beautiful touch she added to our wedding.

we hoped for.

as plans continued to change and it was one of the highlights of the day. Thanks Vermilion Strings!

ocktail hour. I asked that they play the faster pop tunes that are listed on their repertoire. The musicians did not seem as comfortable with these pieces as they were with the classical ones. Overall, Emma was very easy to work with. I would hire them again for sure. I would definitely ask that the musicians coming be familiar and comfortable with all of the repertoire.

e beginning, Mrs. Lauren was prompt and professional with her replies. She helped me choose pieces that were both classic and unique. I had so many people compliment me on the music and ask who I hired. Looking back, my husband and I would not change one single thing. I highly recommend Vermillion strings to anyone who needs exceptional music and muscicians for an event.

nce all the way to songs from the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars soundtracks at my wedding! It was gorgeous and made the wedding a dream.

ire these musicians because they are always professional, prompt and follow different agenda specifics we setup on timelines. They ask for just a few requirements in their contract and they are willing to follow any timeline; this makes it so easy to work with this group of musicians.

perience. I cannot recommend them enough!

and) to play with precise timing during our processional and recessional! It was such a pleasure to work with them, and we were so excited to hear the custom performances come to life on our wedding day!

like pulling teeth trying to get a hold of them. Out of every person we hired for our wedding these were the only people who didn’t respond and gave us a hard time. We were married at the Riverview room in New Orleans. On 5/14/2021. The 3 musicians all showed up late. Once they got there they said it was too hot and sunny to play and they needed shade or they will cancel and not perform. Keep in mind it was a spring day in New Orleans. 79 degrees and partly cloudy. No covering for any of us. None of us broke a sweat or even complained about it being hot. And it was too hot for them? They claimed it would ruin their instruments because it was too hot. The manager at the Review view room was in shock and couldn’t believe what they were doing. She said in all the years she’s been there this has never happened and she couldn’t believe how stuck up and snooty they were acting. The manager even went as far to chase me out while I was leaving to make sure to get the name of this company. She wrote it down and said they are not welcome there anymore and will tell their future clients to not use them. My best man ran around town holding up the ceremony for about an hour to find an EZ Up. No stores close by had any so he had to bribe a street vendor by giving him $100 and his ID to rent it for an hour. Once we got the tent set up the musicians started playing. They played a total of 3 songs. None of them fully. And 1 of them they messed up on. My wife had to tell the wedding coordinator while walking down the isle to tell them to play the correct song. They stopped abruptly in the middle of the song and started playing the correct song. It was very embarrassing. They played for a total of about 5 minutes. Maybe less. And charged me $850. Then once I contacted the owner she put all the blame on us. She pretty much called me a liar and that her musicians were telling her the truth. And she believes them over the 25 guests there and the handful of workers at The Riverview Room. She even went as far as to say no they played the correct song but we didn’t recognize it. She even blamed my wife for the musicians holding up the ceremony. When she was waiting the whole time in the bridal suit and was told several times to wait because the musicians weren’t set up yet. Then she claimed that they never threatened to cancel. When I heard it, my friends and family heard it, and the workers and manager all heard it. Even coming up to me saying they don’t know what to do because they are threatening to leave. And never experienced this before. Come on. What a joke. I really do not know how they received good reviews. But if I were you I would not risk hiring this company. They ruined my wedding day. And they do not care. I have had several conversations with the owner and every single one is of her saying we are wrong she is right. Even though she wasn’t there. Please, please, please do not let them ruin your special day like they did mine. Not only did they ruin my wedding day but they scammed me out of $850. I will be filing a dispute with my bank and possibly taking them to court for my refund. Do not let this happen to you. Do not risk even the slightest chance of having this happen to you. Do not let them do to you what they did to me and my wife.

as such a great way to personalise our wedding as their song selection was massive! We would certainly recommend them to anyone for their wedding without hesitation!!

ecially for intimate ceremonies.

e wanted. They have a great selection of classical and pop. They even improvised another tune during the ceremony when there was a time that we had failed to plan a song. They played outdoors on a cold January afternoon without a problem. It was perfect!

t, and we have had many compliments on how amazing the music was. Would recommend anyone to use them!

the privilege of hearing her play many times. Her music is perfectly beautiful and spiritual and restorative. Five star.
