First and foremost:

Rest assured your event will not be outsourced to high school/college students (common practice!). When you book Harmony Strings, you are booking degreed, classically-trained professionals from Juillard and beyond who have been performing together for over 15+ years. The person you speak with will be one of the musicians performing at your event. Here at Harmony Strings, we believe in upholding the integrity of our profession.

We are a string quartet, not an agency. What this means is you will speak directly with the musicians who will be performing for your event. There is no "middleman." Therefore, no information will get lost in the shuffle. It is common practice for agencies to send in random musicians without adequate preparation. We are dedicated professionals who are passionate about performing flawless wedding music for your wedding.

We've won 32 industry awards based on client reviews, including the Hall of Fame, Gayest & Greatest, Couple's Choice, & Best of Weddings!

When it comes to weddings, we are experts at tailoring the music to the moment. Our experienced professionals will time each song accordingly so the music ends at the nearest cadence at just the right moment. We've all heard horror stories of live music suddenly screeching to a halt, disrupting an otherwise beautiful wedding ceremony. Your wedding day is much too important to put in the hands of an inexperienced group of amateur musicians. With Harmony Strings, you can rest assured that your wedding music will flow seamlessly from one song to the next, and it will sound as if each song was composed for just that moment in time.

We are passionate about learning new music and performing the music that you love! Our repertoire consists of hundreds of classical & contemporary songs and is constantly expanding! We also have a gift for you! We offer to learn 2 new cover songs free of charge for each event, so be sure to let us what you have in mind when you request a quote! (2 months prior notice required)

We truly care about each event. We love what we do and are grateful to be a part of so many beautiful memories. To the clients who took the time to write such kind words in online reviews and in handwritten thank-you cards, we are forever grateful. It is because of them that we have won 32 awards since our inception, and we are truly honored.

Last but not least: We are perfectionists! We are known for being meticulously detailed when it comes to performances, and we spend countless hours prepping, practicing, and preparing for each and every event. Here at Harmony Strings we take our job seriously, and we will always arrive early and prepared.

Contact us as soon as possible. Our calendar quickly fills up months/years in advance. Book early to ensure availability.

Our string quartet will perform ANY song you like. We perform all genres: modern music as well as classical music. Go to our Audio Page to hear a wide variety of music - over 65 song samples! We even have Bridgerton songs and Star Wars!

Note: Our string trio and duo have a strictly classical repertoire only.

If you have a special request, feel free to let us know!  We want to perform the music you love.

We have hundreds of songs in our repertoire. Here are pdf files of our Modern Repertoire and Classical Repertoire.

Listen to a mix of favorites here!

String Quartet: 2 Violins, Viola, & Cello. A string quartet will give the fullest sound. Similar to a choir, the quartet will cover the soprano, alto, tenor, & bass lines.  

String Trio: Violin, Viola, & Cello

String Duo: Violin & Cello

For most weddings, 1 hour of booking should suffice. This will include 30 minutes of prelude music (as your guests arrive) + 30 minutes for the wedding ceremony itself.

Of course, the length of your ceremony depends entirely on the person officiating your wedding. If your officiant likes to talk, then your ceremony will last quite a bit longer!

We require 10 feet x 10 feet for our string quartet, 8 feet x 8 feet for our string trio, & 6 feet x 6 feet for our string duo. We sit in a semi-circle formation in order to maintain eye contact to start/end each song together.

We have found that attending the dress rehearsal is unnecessary.

We do not charge for set up time.

We will arrive 45 minutes prior to performance start time to set up, tune our instruments, warm-up, and talk through cues with your coordinator.

Our standard attire is professional, performance black. Our aim is to let the music shine, and we want the spotlight to remain on you and your event (not on our outfits).

Tipping is optional (never expected) and typically falls in the range of $25-50 per musician.
