Vivace Live String Quartet

I hired Vivace Live for my wedding ceremony and reception. In a challenging room with virtually no sound deadening, they immediately played the perfect volume to bring life to the room without intruding on conversation. Their selection of music was both elegant and intriguing. They made beautiful compositions of a few songs we had requested. Their demeanor and communication was outstanding. 6 out of 5 stars if I could.

Vivace was everything we could have hoped for to make our cocktail hour unforgettable. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the event and played everything we asked for while filling in with other songs that fit our style. We got multiple compliments from wedding guests about how good they were and added a different feel to our ceremony and cocktail hour that made it stand out in comparison to other weddings. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their special day even more special.

We're so grateful to have been able to work with Vivace. Sara was really easy to work with from our first introductory call all the way up to our wedding day. The Fiddle & Fray duo brought the Bridgerton vibes to our wedding at Hershey Gardens, and we really appreciated how Vivace worked with us to make sure our first dance was a special song choice at the right tempo! If I could give any advice to future couples or people looking for string musicians, go with Vivace for an easy, flexible and high-quality experience.

We had Vivace come and play at our wedding reception (dinner and dancing) and they were absolutely incredible! They were very professional to work with, they played beautifully, and were able to set the perfect mood for our elegant reception. They also offered emcee services that kept our reception flowing smoothly. 10/10 would hire again!!

Vivace was very responsive and easy to communicate with, helping me to decide exactly what was the perfect fit for my special day. They were the key ingredient to creating the elegant atmosphere I wanted for the ceremony!

We had Vivace at our Excelsior wedding in October and they were fantastic! Their team was very easy to work with, giving links to songs for my wife to listen to prior to the wedding so we could make selections and get a feel for the music. For the ceremony, there were many tears shed, including my own. The music was amazing and perfect for our wedding. They also played during dinner, again setting a great tone while everyone was eating. Thank you for being part of what made our day so special!

We discovered Vivace Live at the recommendation of our venue, The Cork Factory Hotel. The string quartet was perfect for our classical / traditional ceremony, then we added the percussionist for contemporary music during cocktail hour. Our guests loved it and it was simply beautiful . This is a group of highly trained, experienced and professional musicians and I highly recommend !

Vivace Live Strings truly brought the romantic ambiance of our wedding to live and moved my husband to tears! We got married on 11/25/23 at Excelsior and Vivace was the perfect addition to our elegant wedding. They did a custom arrangement of one of my husband's favorite songs for me to walk down the aisle to, and when they started rehearsing it while we were doing family photos, we couldn't hold back the tears! They are just magical and bring so much to the emotion of a ceremony. Our guests loved their cocktail hour music and we just are so grateful to have had such stunning music for our wedding day. As someone who has worked with many musicians as a wedding vendor myself, it's no coincidence we chose Vivace. An absolute MUST HAVE!!

I decided later into the planning process that I wanted live music, but as soon as I did, I found Vivace Live. I used them for ceremony and cocktail music. From the start, Sarah and the team were extremely responsive and easy to work with. The team is very transparent with prices and procedures, which I really appreciated. Their repertoire is phenomenal, they truly had songs for everyone . On the big day, the team was FANTASTIC. They sounded phenomenal and my guests could not stop raving. I could not recommend this group more!

Vivace Live was an absolute highlight of our wedding day! Having live music was at the top of our priority list for our big day, and the package they offered fit our needs perfectly. We were in communication with Julianna during the planning process, and she answered all of our questions and provided us with a well-organized system to share our song requests. One of the things that really stood out to us was the large selection of songs across different genres. We really appreciated the flexibility of being able to choose both classical and more modern songs for each part of our event. This was a major plus for us as we wanted our wedding music to be representative of and meaningful to us. We really wish we had more time to enjoy Vivace Live’s performances as much as our guests did! Thank you for adding a special and personal touch to our wedding day with your professionalism and talent!

If you're looking for live music for your wedding or event Vivace Live is it! Vivace Live string quartet performed during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and was everything we'd hoped for! The music was absolutely beautiful and they allowed us to chose the set list from a long list of song options. They were able to play a wide variety of music and the musicians were so pleasant to work with! They have a great website that makes communicating easy and stress-free, we absolutely recommend!

We hired Vivace Live to play during our ceremony at Wyndridge Farm. They were incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests. The weather forced out ceremony to be inside, which is really disappointing at Wyndridge, but Vivace Live helped make the ambience beautiful and romantic. I love how I was able to pick each song I wanted from their long list of choices. They have so many options, that I didn't find myself wanting songs they didn't already have on their list. We payed them to learn Taylor Swift Invisible string and they nailed it!

We hired Vivace Live to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were fantastic! We revived a ton of compliments for them, they are super talented! We had our wedding in June and they were troopers playing through the heat. Everyone really enjoyed their music! It’s very romantic and beautiful.

They were absolutely amazing and the guests were obsessed with the music they played. From start to finish, the communication was amazing and they even learned a piece for our wedding. They were so kind and helpful with the decision making process.

Vivace Live was so perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour! They sounded absolutely amazing and everyone was raving on how much they enjoyed it! They were very organized and responsive leading up to the wedding and played exactly what I requested and were very friendly!

From our very first interaction to the very last song played at our micro-wedding, Julianna and the Vivace Live team made the entire process seamless. If you’re looking for the best live musicians around, stop what you’re doing and book them NOW! Vivace Live made our day pure perfection, and it’s hard to put into words how truly amazing our experience with the String Quartet was. Julianna's experience was recognizable from the start as she guided us through the planning process, answered all our questions, and gave recommendations that made our small celebration unforgettable. She provided us with a well-organized portal that allowed us to find all our details in one place and even checked in frequently to provide help as needed. Within a few emails, our wedding day was planned and ready to go, with no issues whatsoever OR any worry in my mind. We got married on a Thursday, and this fit into Vivace Live’s availability! The day of our wedding, the musicians arrived early to set up and coordinated with our wedding planner without hesitation. They provided prelude music before the ceremony began as guests arrived and were seated. All our requests were met without question- we requested special Groomsmen music during our ceremony and extended our contracted playing time. For the cocktail hour, we sent in the genre of music that we enjoy the most, and the musicians created the most perfect playlist to play- not having to create the any type of full playlist lifted a huge weight from my shoulders (as the bride)! The musicians were also dressed professionally, and their equipment was extremely well-kept. To my surprise, Julianna was a musician that day and greeted me with big smiles and kind words. The entire team expressed their gratitude for spending our special day with us and that alone spoke bounds to my husband and I. The Vivace Live musicians are extremely talented musicians, we still have friends and family talking about them. We cannot thank Julianna and the entire team enough, we would recommend The Vivace Live String Quartet to everyone a thousand times! Thank you for playing such a special part in making all our wedding dreams come true! P.S. I work at a wedding venue and Vivace Live is a preferred live music vendor- for every obvious reason! I could not imagine working with anyone else except Vivace Live! 😊

We hired Vivace String Quartet to provide music during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we were extremely happy with the service they provided. They were very easy to work with and professional. Vivace asked for a song list for our ceremony in advance and were able to be accommodating with our choices and make recommendations based on our wedding party size. Overall, they were great, and we highly recommend them for your events and weddings!

Vivace Live's string quartet provided ceremony music for my August 2022 wedding, and we got SO many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the music was! Julianna was super helpful and easy to work with during the planning process, and everything flowed seamlessly on the day of the wedding. The string quartet totally transformed the ceremony, and we are so glad we hired Vivace Live!

Love their resume of music! I actually had such a hard time picking because there were so many options! They did a beautiful job, even on a hotter than heck day outside!

Vivace was absolutely incredible from booking to the end of our wedding!! Their portal for pre event details & instructions is super easy & informative & was so helpful leading up to our wedding. A few weeks before our wedding, we were regularly in touch about small details & Vivace always made sure I knew what was going on. We also requested to add a few songs & Vivace was quick to let me know the pricing & of course it was perfect & ready for our wedding! We received SO many compliments on the live music- it is truly one thing I am so so happy we decided to do. Could not recommend Vivace more!

Vivace Live performed for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They played my selections perfectly. I got so many compliments from all of my guests. Thank you!!!

We hired Vivace Live for our ceremony music and had a great experience. They had a vast repertoire list for us to choose from - including all the songs we already had in mind! Julianna was very easy to work with and the ceremony went smoothly. Thanks Vivace Live!

Vivace was simply amazing for our wedding day! Julianna was so incredibly easy to work with and helped us from start to finish. They even created (3) more songs for us, which were so incredibly perfect. They made our day that more special and I would recommend them a million times over.

Vivace really adds that WOW factor to your special day. We had hired them to play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was absolutely beautiful and our guests raved about it! They are super accommodating and made the song selection process super easy! They made our wedding vision come to life!

I had seen a group from Vivace Live at a wedding years ago, and was so impressed that I HAD to have them for our wedding! I was initially sold by their repertoire selection - I loved the idea of having popular music played by instrumentalists. From the beginning, Julianna was very communicative, professional, and friendly. I was impressed by their extensive repertoire list, and so excited by all of the song options! The entire planning process could not have been easier - the portal they use to plan is very user friendly, and any questions I had were answered quickly and clearly. As the date got closer, I was concerned about the weather and temperature for the day, but they were very flexible and communicative so we could come up with a contingency plan. We didn't end up needing it, and Vivace was such a welcome addition to our day! They played before the ceremony, for the walks down the aisle, and during cocktail hour, and all of our guests were very impressed. I am SO glad we included Vivace into our wedding, and can not recommend them highly enough!

Vivace Live was wonderful to work with. My daughter and her husband have differing tastes in music - Disney to Country - and Sara and the quartet were able to seamlessly merge the two. The quartet sounded beautiful and added just the right amount of elegance to the wedding.

I am soo happy I decided to hire Vivace for our wedding!! They were amazing to work with leading up to the wedding and on the day of, they sounded absolutely amazing. They were the perfect touch to our ceremony. I would recommend them over and over!!

Absolutely loved working with them! They were so reliable and responsive to any questions or tasks that had to be done. Their music is absolutely beautiful and they will take any requests! It made my day more magical and special as I got married in a church with beautiful string music that everyone loved and complimented on!

We were married on October 1st, 2021 and Vivace Strings quartet played during our Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. I always knew that I wanted a string quartet for our wedding ceremony, but wow I could not have been more impressed and I am SO happy that Vivace Strings was a part of our day. Their repertoire offers an extensive range of genres stemming from classical music to pop and everything in between, the song selection process was such a treat! Vivace was beyond accommodating, I had a very specific song I wanted to walk down the aisle to and they were able to find the sheet music and learn it for our wedding (it was a dream come true). Our wedding day was truly magical, and Vivace Strings played a huge role in making it that special. All of our guests raved about their performance as well. We cannot thank them enough!

We felt so lucky to be able to work with Vivace Live for our intimate garden wedding. Not only were they amazing through the planning process, they also worked with us on two custom arrangements (Crazy Love by Van Morrison and Forever Young by Bob Dylan) to make the day feel so personal. On top of that they were able to accompany my very talented sister in law when she sang Make You Feel My Love. They added so much grace, lightness, and art to the day—and just helped make our ceremony feel that much more meaningful and sacred.

We absolutely loved the violin and cello duo from Vivace that played our wedding ceremony. They arrived well before expected and greeted our guests with beautiful renditions of some modern pop songs we love. They say the best services are the ones you don't even recognize are happening, but make the day better. This was our experience with Vivace. All of a sudden, there was perfect string music filling our venue! We would highly recommend Vivace Live to anyone who asks.

Hiring Vivace Live for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We had a beautiful, incredibly talented string quartet play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. For the ceremony, the quartet played classical music that wowed everyone there and added an intimate touch to the garden we were married in. For cocktail hour, we changed things up and had them play a mix of movie and pop songs. Our guests told us that this was one of the highlights and said they loved hearing their renditions of some of their favorite songs. With COVID, we had a last minute change in plans and Vivace Live was so extremely supportive and accommodating. Thank you so much for being a part of the team and adding some real magic to our wedding day! I will be recommending you to everyone I know looking for musicians for any occasion.

Vivace Live was one of my favorite parts of my entire wedding day. I walked into my venue before guests arrived and heard them playing and could have cried - it was SO beautiful!!! Their music took our ceremony to another level and I am so happy they were a part of our day. 10/10 recommend!!!!

Everyone needs to have Vivace at their wedding! They played our ceremony music as well as our cocktail hour music. No one expected we would have live music and everyone was blown away by their talent! They even learned the Friends Theme Song to play for me as I walked down that aisle!!! Sara was also always quick to respond to any email (which there were quite a few due to the ever changing COVID orders)!

If you are thinking about having live music for your ceremony you NEED Vivace! We had a string quartet for our ceremony and everything was absolutely beautiful. They were so easy to work with and let you completely customize your set list. And have a large selection to choose from. When we saw the game of thrones theme song we HAD to have them play it while guests were getting seated and everyone loved it!! I’m so thankful we had people record our ceremony so we will be able to hear the beautiful music over and over whenever we watch.

We LOVED our experience with Sara and her musicians -- they're insanely impressive and were a huge reason why our night was so magical. We highly recommend the group. Trust us -- you will not be disappointed. The next time we have an event, we'll without a doubt use them again.

We hired Vivace for our ceremony and cocktail hour music and they were absolutely beautiful. Truly added such a special touch to our special day! We had two violins, which was perfect and they played beautifully. Sara was very responsive from the very beginning and answered any questions I had. It was easy to pick songs we love from their extensive repertoire. The musicians were dressed nicely and were prompt and professional. Thanks Vivace for helping to make our special day one to remember! I would highly recommend Vivace for any special event!

INCREDIBLE!!! We used Vivace Live for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Such a wonderful addition to our perfect day. They are professional and SO good. You won't regret this beautiful addition to your wedding day. Book them now!

This group did a wonderful job for the ceremony and cocktail hour at my daughter's wedding. The offer a huge variety of music, play beautifully and with such energy and passion. They were a beautiful addition to the day and helped to set a great tone for the entire event. I found them to be very professional and easy to deal with.

We had our wedding at Wyndridge Farm with an outdoor ceremony so we knew we wanted ceremony music that would fill the space. When we discovered Vivace we were very impressed with their repertoire - they have a very vast range of musical styles. Sara Irvine was so great to talk with and listened to an entire playlist of songs I sent to her to potentially use for the wedding. It was obvious that she takes the job very seriously and genuinely wants to make everything perfect for your special day. One of the main reasons we chose them is because they were willing to arrange/learn a few new pieces for us and they added a guitarist and did an amazing job with the song. She also let us know when they were going to be playing and even tried out the new piece when we went to see them at Tellus360! The guests really enjoyed hearing them play and we are so thankful that we chose them! They are extremely talented.

I will never forget, after my husband and I were engaged and started our wedding planning, before we chose our venue or anything else, he came up to me with the laptop and said "this is my one request." And that was how I first learned of Vivace Live. We spent the rest of the night listening to their sound clips on their website, and I wondered, "do you think they sound as good in person?" Flash forward to today and I can tell you having Vivace Live at our wedding was one of the best decisions that we could have made. It was a wedding gift to ourselves and our guests; their beautiful music added an elegance and magic to our rustic venue that made the day truly special. We had guests of all ages (from under 2 years old to 90) and backgrounds; Vivace Live was loved by all!! Their music is timeless with a great selection of songs ranging from classical to contemporary, celtic, film, religious, jazz...something for everyone! Sara and the other musicians themselves were friendly and professional; very easy to work with and a pleasure to have at our wedding. Highly, highly recommend!!

I had the opportunity of hearing Vivace Live at my friends wedding. I knew immediately after hearing them, that I wanted to book them for our wedding. Sara was very helpful in assisting us to choose songs for our wedding. We booked Vivace Live to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and guests are still talking about how amazing the live music was. They played every song that we asked them to play and they even collaborated and played a song with our Dj! Vivace Live was such an absolute joy to work with! They responded promptly to my emails and never hesitated to help me in any way that I needed them! I would highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a live string quartet.

Having a string quartet play during our Catholic Mass ceremony was always my dream for our wedding. Vivace Live made that dream come to life with their impeccable professionalism through the entire wedding planning process. I booked Vivace Live about a year in advance for our June 1st wedding and i am so happy that we did. Sara was amazing with getting back to me by phone and email and answered all questions I had no matter how crazy they sounded. She was very informative about how the ceremony would go especially since we were having them play in a Catholic Church which has guidelines to what can and cannot be played. They also were communicative between the music director of the church which made the ceremony music go even more smoothly. We also used them for our cocktail hour and added the percussionist and, boy, was it the best decision. The cocktail hour vibe was fun and enjoyable and my now husband and I were there for the whole thing ( we took this time to greet and thank our guests, we also wanted to enjoy the music and food at our own wedding). Guests were raving about the live music and the song selections. I would HIGHLY recommend using Vivace Live for your event!

We had a great experience working with Sara to plan our ceremony and cocktail hour music selections. We first listened to many of Vivace's songs online and were very impressed from the start. We met Sara (and other musicians from the group) in person at a wedding expo and continued to be impressed hearing them perform live. We selected a string duo for our event (violin and cello) and Sara provided us with their repertoire list for this type of duo. My mom and I created a list of our song preferences for both the ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by a conference call with Sara where we reviewed the song selections and discussed the best way to order our songs. We had a combination outdoor and indoor event, and Sara was extremely flexible with where they set up their instruments for both parts of our wedding. As the bride, I only got to hear my processional song and the recessional song. They were beautiful! I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear all of the ceremony prelude music and all of the songs during cocktail hour :-) Vivace Live is beyond talented; they can perform from most genres of music, as you will see from the repertoire lists. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

We loved having Vivace Live at our wedding. It really added a special touch to our ceremony and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the String Quartet. Sara Irvine was amazing to work with from the very beginning. She was so responsive to all my questions and gave thoughtful suggestions for our ceremony music! Definitely book!

Sara and her crew were just plain fantastic. All of my guests loved the music. They definitely have added so much charm and magic into my wedding. I could not be happier with them.

Beautiful music; kind and patient; very easy to work with... and thoughtful -- they added one extra song at the end of cocktail hour (just because!) and it ended up being a really special moment. It's clear that they love with they do. Would definitely hire them again.

We hired Vivace Live for our wedding in October 2018. Not only was their performance at our wedding amazing, but they were a pleasure to work with. They helped us choose our music from their expansive repertoire and they even added a song to their repertoire for us which was important for my husband. They had to set up in two different areas (for the ceremony and the cocktail hour), and it was seamless. Our guests were so impressed and are still telling us how much they enjoyed the performance for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour. If you choose to book them for your event, you will not be disappointed! I cannot recommend Vivace Live enough.

Professional, so responsive and made our wedding day so rememberable! So grateful we choose them for our wedding ceremony! They played so beautifully!

Vivace Strings was WONDERFUL for my wedding ceremony! Sara was so helpful in helping me plan the perfect selection of songs and the best instruments for my setting (we went with an electric violin and he was incredible!). She even sent me a video of the violinist playing the song I was thinking of for my bridal march. I didn't really know what I wanted except that I wanted it to feel modern but bridal and Sara came up with the perfect selection of music for leading up to the ceremony, for the processional and recessional. There prices are reasonable too. I cannot say enough good about my experience.

I always knew that I wanted a string quartet for my wedding ceremony, and I am SO GLAD THAT I FOUND VIVACE LIVE!! Communication with Sara was easy and always informational. The vast options of music to choose from was amazing and we even had the option to choose songs that weren't in their repertoire. Sara went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect on their end and it was! Thank you all so much for the lovely music and for making our day that much more special.

Having Vivace play for our ceremony was one of the best decisions we made during our whole wedding planning process. Sara made the booking and planning period so easy for us and offered such helpful insight while choosing our music. The quartet was so professional yet easy going the day of, and played beautifully. You can tell that they not only love what they do, but enjoy being with each other as well. What an amazing difference that makes in the way that they play! Their music captured the exact ambience that my wife and I wished for our ceremony. We would 100% recommend them over and over again to anyone who is looking to have live music as a part of their wedding day. We can't thank them enough for the tremendous job they did.

So easy to work with and their sound is incomparable! Our guests got to enjoy them way more than we did. They have such a wide range of songs to choose from as well. Sara was awesome to work with and everything was absolutely seamless! Highly recommend them!
