Absolutely loved White Pines for my wedding ceremony. They were completely reliable, professional and talented. On top of it all, their music is gorgeous and the guests loved it!
White Pines performed at our wedding in September & they were so wonderful! They had plenty of song selections & Michelle was a joy to work with. We had so many complements from our guests. Thank you for being a special part of our day!!
White Pines was a lovely addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! The quartet filled the event with an extra special touch to our ceremony that many guests commented on positively!
My husband and I were really pleased with White Pines' already-existing repertoire--beautiful classical music, and really fun arrangements of popular songs (we never expected that we'd get to have a Sigur Ros song for our wedding party's processional!). When we were deciding on a song for us to walk down the aisle to, we requested an arrangement of a kind of obscure song that we both love and White Pines emailed us back almost instantaneously--they could get the arrangement (for a surprisingly reasonable fee!) and were happy to play it for us. That kind of service was above and beyond what we could have expected.
Michelle was incredibly lovely to work with--extremely responsive and informative, and dedicated to making sure the quartet was incorporated smoothly and stress-free into our ceremony. The planning stage was in-depth and thoughtful, which meant that, on the day of the wedding, Michelle and the other musicians were able to set up and get ready without adding an ounce of worry to our day. (We especially appreciated Michelle working with us and our officiant to make sure all of our questions were answered.) All of the musicians were extraordinarily professional--even when a couple of minutes of surprise rain interrupted our cocktail hour.
We couldn't recommend White Pines more to add a special touch to a ceremony!
We hired the solo cellist on our big day for ceremony and cocktail hour and we were not disappointed. She really transformed the space through music and set the romantic vibe we were looking for. Also, very responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole process, even with music requests!
White Pines Entertainment was the icing on the cake for our magical winter wedding. The string trio filled the room with beautiful music and our guests couldn't stop talking about how talented the musicians were. We had several custom requests and the trio performed each song perfectly. Michelle was responsive, thorough, and a joy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend White Pines Entertainment for all string duo/trio/quartet etc. needs. Thank you, White Pines!!
We had a string quartet for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, then a DJ for the reception. I would highly recommend White Pines for your wedding! They added such a nice touch, we did a hand fasting ceremony and picked an Irish song that was played lightly while each parent came and wrapped a ribbon around our hands. Every song started and stopped perfectly and they coordinated with our officiant so we didn't have to provide any instructions on cues etc. Our guests said they were impressed and enjoyed having live music to listen to during cocktail hour. Would highly recommend!
We booked White Pines for our wedding ceremony and reception. Our string trio was absolutely wonderful and we all thoroughly enjoyed the music! Throughout the planning process, Michelle was extremely responsive and clear with all the details we needed to set up for our big day. We loved having them be apart of our day and would highly recommend for anyone looking for musicians for any event!
We are so happy we hired White Pines to play at our wedding. We received so many rave reviews about the quality and breadth of music played. Michelle was a joy to work with and she didn’t even bat an eye when we requested the quartet play Star Wars and Harry Potter before the ceremony started. Their prices are extremely competitive too and Michelle is one of the most responsive vendors ever. Thank you again!
Booked White Pines for our backyard wedding. They were excellent, received so many compliments from my guests who enjoyed them so much. Throughout the process I worked with Michelle, who was great to work with. She was so responsive and nice. Their music was beautiful and added so much to the wedding. Highly recommend!
I hired White Pines Entertainment as my string trio for my wedding last year. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough! If you're thinking about hiring them, do yourself a favor and book them today! You won't regret it!
Backstory: I found White Pines in an unusual way. I had been working with a different group, Renaissance Strings, (RS) and they were extremely difficult to work with. (I only mention their name because I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through!) Long story short, I ended up having to fire RS two weeks out from my wedding date because they didn't listen to me and they weren't respectful of my opinion. I've literally never fired anyone in my life, but I was so sick of being treated badly. I found White Pines and literally hired them less than two weeks out from my wedding!
It was an amazing difference working with White Pines. They listened to everything I had to say, they gave me so many options for music, and let me completely customize my day. White Pines went above and beyond for me! I was shocked at how amazing they were. I was communicating with Michelle at White Pines, who was extremely nice, professional, responded to emails fast, and above all, I could tell that she actually cared about what I had to say, which was so welcome after having such a negative experience with RS. Michelle was very caring, supportive, and accommodating. What took me weeks to accomplish with RS was solved in one simple email with Michelle.
On the day of my wedding, White Pines played an absolutely beautiful set of music. Everyone complimented them. I got to walk down the aisle to my song, and it was pure magic. I can't say enough good things about Michelle & the White Pines team. I will be forever grateful that they were able to help me so last minute & that they did an absolutely phenomenal job! Please hire them for your wedding, you'll be so happy that you did!
Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with! She played the cello during my wedding ceremony and brought a wonderful pianist with her. The music from White Pines Entertainment was one of the things I was excited about most on my wedding day, and they delivered an awesome performance. They accommodated all of my song requests and their sound is breathtaking!
We had the violin and guitar duet for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and received many compliments! Michelle was always quick to respond, and helped me out by giving me recommendations. The online planning form kept all the details organized and I appreciated that the duet came prepared and did not require anything from me the day of. I liked having the flexibility of classical music, popular music, or even a mix of the two. I highly recommend them!
Simply AMAZING! So prompt in communication, professional, reasonable, and flexible. Our day was perfect because of them! Beautiful music and they even take special requests for a reasonable price. YES-Book then now!
Amazing customer service and professional musicians that will create and customize to your needs. The guests at my daughters wedding commented on the beautiful musical touch for her ceremony. Highly recommend.
One of the best decisions I made for my wedding!! I had the trio and they performed beautifully. I wanted a range of classical and popular music and they exceeded my expectations. I had so many people come up to me afterward to tell me how much it really added to my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. 100% recommend.
White Pines Entertainment provided an amazing string trio for our ceremony. While I didn't get to hear everything they played, I was assured that they sounded gorgeous during the prelude and ceremony itself. They were prompt, professional, and talented. I would recommend their services for anyone looking for ceremony music!
White Pines Entertainment was perfect and better than we even imagined for our wedding! Michelle was extremely professional and always responsive, even on Sundays! She even recorded a Coldplay song and sent it to us by email, to give us an idea of what it would sound like as a string ensemble! The musicians traveled all the way to The Toledo Zoo in the middle of a snow storm, we can’t thank them enough! The string duet was so beautiful, it made me ugly cry so much I couldn’t even walk down the aisle right away. If you’re thinking about booking live music, you HAVE to book them! I can’t reccomend them enough!
Very easy process. Even when our original violinist got sick a few days before our wedding, we were given another and he was able to play all of our song choices. Couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out.
Working with Michelle is so easy! She is on time, professional, and plays beautiful music. You can trust that her entire team is just the same.
My husband's #1 request for our wedding was a string trio or quartet for the ceremony. White Pines Entertainment's string trio definitely exceeded our expectations and made our ceremony an unforgettable fairy tale. In addition to being a fabulous musician, Michelle was very responsive and professional. The musicians traveled all the way to Mackinac Island and performed beautifully throughout the entire ceremony. Thank you again, White Pines Entertainment, for being such an important part of our ceremony!
A week before our wedding, we decided to add strings to the ceremony and cocktail hour rather than play music from the DJ. This change COMPLETELY transformed our ceremony and cocktail hour to a stunning and entertaining part of the day. I’m so happy White Pines was able to work with me to get a string trio last minute, and they were the perfect exquisite addition. The value of adding a string accompaniment to your wedding is unmatched, and we were receiving compliments well into the night for their performances. We asked them to play classical during the ceremony, and popular music during the cocktail hour. They even took requests from our guests! Such a wonderful addition and rounded out the beautiful day. Thanks Michelle and White Pines!
We hired a guitar/violin duet to play at our wedding ceremony. The music filled the room beautifully! Michelle responded to emails very quickly. She provided us with a list of contemporary and traditional songs to choose from. The musicians were very punctual and professional.
We wanted something unique for our ceremony and cocktail hour, so we decided to go with an ensemble for our music. White Pines Entertainment is absolutely amazing! Hands down the best ensemble in our area!
Michelle was quick with correspondence, responding almost immediately to any inquiries/questions/concerns I had. Their repertoires are extensive, including a well rebounded mixture of classical and modern. Plus they are affordable, we were able to stay within our budget. Our guests were impressed with the musical skills of the trio. Thank you for being a part of or big day!
Michelle and the White Pines team made our wedding so special. From when we first chatted in February to my big day in August, Michelle was very thorough and helped answer any questions. They played all the songs beautifully and made the ceremony and cocktail hour extra special. They have class, professionalism and are truly talented. Thank you!
The string quartet from White Pines Entertainment was perfect for our wedding! We had some very specific song requests and they were flexible with all of them! All of our guests thought they did an excellent job and made the whole event feel more elegant. Before the wedding, they were also super communicative and helpful, which was very appreciated as a busy bride! Would definitely hire them again!!
For my wedding, I had very specific music that I wanted to use for my ceremony. I was looking for a cello quartet and cello/piano duet, which was harder to find than I thought. But then I found Michelle and she was more than willing to make my dreams reality. I thought I had some really odd ideas and I wasn’t sure if they would even work out, but Michelle made it happen. I sent them specific arrangements for cello/piano duet and cello quartet and asked if we could make them work. Michelle was absolutely amazing and was more than willing to work with me. She even had a completely custom arrangement for a cello quartet arranged for us and it was absolutely perfect. Working with Michelle was seriously the BEST. She was so helpful and made something I thought could only work in my dreams a reality. I had absolutely no worries the day of my wedding or even leading up to it. Michelle was that good. On the wedding day, they looked great and sounded amazing and I was able to get swept away by their beautiful performances and truly enjoy my wedding. I received SO many complements. It was absolutely perfect and a dream come true. Thank you White Pines Entertainment! <3
I searched high and wide for a cellist to perform at our wedding ceremony. I live a large college campus so was hoping to get a music student and also reached out to two people who were friends of friends. Their lack of responsiveness and ability to deliver what I was looking for left me feeling a little panicked- until I found Michelle at White Pines Entertainment. I emailed her around 9 pm and before the night was over she had responded with a quote and song list. The next morning I had an invoice and agreement in hand. She was quick to respond to every question and was able to accommodate every song I asked for- including a duet with a friend of mine who sang Ave Maria by her side. The music was beautiful, and it was such a comfort knowing I could rely on her based on her responsiveness and attentiveness. Price was very competitive with other musicians that I found. Feeling at ease with Michelle was priceless. I whole heartedly recommend Michelle and her team at White Pines Entertainment!
We LOVED White Pines Entertainment. From start to finish they were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made our outdoor garden ceremony feel like an absolute fairytale. Our wedding was 6 months ago and we still receive compliments regularly on how fantastic the string quartet was. White pines truly took our ceremony up a knotch. We were blown away, the music made our ceremony feel so elegant and romantic. They have an amazing song list and their customer service is bar none. Our ceremony would not have been the same without them. We would highly recommend! In fact my grandmas 80th birthday is coming up and we are even talking about hiring white pines again for that as a surprise! LOVED LOVED LOVED the string quartet, thank you for making our wedding ceremony truly special :)
Fantastic value. We had White Pines for our ceremony musicians. They have a comprehensive list of songs available. They also included a song at our request- Isn't It Romantic. They were so easy to work with and were great to communicate with. We couldn't have been happier. We went with 2 strings. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

The quartet was amazing. I had them play for my wedding ceremony and they sounded amazing
I booked a violin/cello duo from White Pines for my friend's wedding ceremony after searching around quite a bit, and everything turned out perfectly. The musicians we're top notch (in tune, expressive, etc.) and handled a last minute morning venue change with no issues. They clearly knew weddings inside and out and made everything easy. Thanks Michelle!
Not only lovely to work with but they play beautifully and gave our guests a wonderful surprise when they played the Game of Thrones Theme song as the bridal party began to walk down the aisle. We also had a song composed and it was perfect! I honestly could not have asked for better! Highly recommend!!!
Our musicians gave an excellent performance during our ceremony and added to our amazing day. What made White Pines stand out, is their flexibility with the music choices. We asked for a song they had not played before and they recorded it, sent to us to review and it was awesome in the ceremony!
Beautiful music! Very professional. Would highly recommend.
Amazing! The trio was my absolute favorite part of our wedding. The music was beauitful and we recieved so many compliments! Michelle was a dream to work with, always responding promptly to all of my questions! I will be recommending white pines entertainment to everyone!
Michelle was a breeze to work with, responded to all emails within minutes, and the music sounded sublime.
Great to work with and great at what they do! If they don't have a song that you want played (which they have an extensive list) they'll work with you on creating an arrangement. So thankful to have had them on our big day!
Great music! Very easy to work with, responsive and professional!
String Quartet Accompanied by a Trumpet
White Pines Entertainment was a complete pleasure to work with. Not only are they professional and talented musicians, they are a very nice group of people. Michelle was very responsive with emailing, accommodating with the selections I chose, and just an all around pleasant person to work with. I gave them direction on where to play for the ceremony and reception before hand. They all showed up and moved from one area for the ceremony to the next for the reception without any more interaction or direction from me. They are completely competent and very able! Obviously very experienced with different kinds of events. I would recommend them to anyone and also to play at any future event that I host.

White Pines Entertainment was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. They were really nice to deal with, had a great repertoire of songs, and are very talented. I got a lot of positive feedback about the band from our guests.
We had a string trio play at our ceremony and they were absolutely fantastic! Not only was the tram so easy to work with throughout the planning process, but the playing was beautiful and exactly what we wanted!
The musicians arrived on time and were thoroughly prepared (they knew which songs we had requested for specific events during the wedding). They scouted out the indoor and outdoor playing areas and wanted to ensure their performance would go smoothly. The wedding and reception music was perfect. We received many comments from guests that they enjoyed the musicians and song selections; we left reception song selection to the musicians and they set a wonderful mood. The manager has excellent communication skills and quickly responded to any questions we had. Highly recommended!
We are the parents and owner of the venue, the Peacock Estate & Croquet Club. We used the string quartet from White Pines and were very happy with their professionalism, the process, their communication, and most importantly their performance. Our guests were all impressed and enjoyed the music immensely. They learned a new song with was special to us and played it perfectly.
I was thrilled with the performance of White Pines Entertainment. As the Mother of the Bride I wanted the perfect music for my daughter's wedding and that is exactly what we got. Michelle and the group were very professional. It was very easy to make the arrangements. I checked out their web site, listened to their work and did everything via text, e-mail and the phone. White Pines are versatile and exceptionally talented musicians.
I will definitely recommend them to others.
They did a beautiful job! Could not have asked for better musicians.
I was very very happy with my decision to hire White Pines Entertainment to perform at my wedding ceremony this past summer. They were extremely helpful and professional before the ceremony and answered all of my questions promptly. On my wedding day they performed flawlessly! I received so many compliments from guests on my music. I would recommend them to anyone who needs musicians for an event and especially a wedding. It made m wedding day even more special than I could have imagined.
They did an excellent job, and they were soooo easy to work with! Thank you!!
My husband and I hired White Pines Entertainment to play a string duo for our outdoor wedding ceremony. They were above and beyond fantastic. They really set the tone for our ceremony and left a huge impression on our guests - everyone loved them and raved about them all evening!
They were extremely easy to communicate with, knew exactly what we we were needed for our event, and even recommended a local band to play during our reception that matched the sound we wanted. They worked with us on all of our requests and were very professional. Most importantly, they are extremely skilled musicians that really know what they are doing.
Beyond their impeccable sound, they completely took care of themselves during our event. They understand that brides and grooms are busy on their wedding day and were self-sufficient in setting up, communicating with our officiant to coordinate cues, and packing up. They kept everything running smoothly and were incredibly stress-free.
I highly recommend this professional, talented and friendly company. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!
We hired White Pines Entertainment to perform as a string trio at our wedding. They arrived right on time and performed beautifully during the ceremony. They even stayed for a picture afterward!Couldn't be more pleased.
White Pines Entertainment was wonderful- very professional and talented! They made a beautiful arrangement of "Your Hand in Mine" for our ceremony processional. Our guests started tearing just from hearing the musicians play! We would definitely recommend this group to anyone looking for a string quarter or string quartet + acoustic guitar.
My wife and I asked White Pines to arrange a string trio for our wedding in Ann Arbor. Working with them was wonderful. They were responsive, friendly, courteous, and attentive to detail, and the trio played the music we requested beautifully, including pieces by Bach, Schubert, Faure, Handel and others. I recommend them to you highly.

We had a solo cellist play at our wedding ceremony. As a musician myself, I had very specific music requests. White Pines Entertainment was extremely accommodating to these requests, and the cellist was fabulous!
