Would you save a little money by asking your college roommate's brother (who has GREAT taste in music) to run the music for your ceremony off his iPhone, or put together a Spotify playlist for your reception? Sure!

But by doing so, you'd risk compromising the quality of one of the most anticipated celebrations of your life.

The way we see it, you're not just booking a string quartet and a DJ for your wedding day.

You're creating a soundtrack for once-in-a-lifetime memories you and your guests will revisit over and over again as the years go by. 

Our mission: Creating the

perfect

live soundtrack for your unique story.

And if those two things don't align perfectly, well...it would be kind of like watching the opening credits of The Notebook set to "Toxic" by Britney Spears. Yikes.

That's why we're committed to doing more than showing up at your venue with instruments in-hand. From day one, we promise to listen closely to your vision and pinpoint your story so that each segment of your wedding day looks, feels, and—most importantly—sounds like you.

This was the best money we ever spent!

“This was the best money we ever spent! The music made the ceremony! It was beautiful and people said they truly enjoyed listening to the before and after ceremony music as well. We asked for some songs they had to learn and they did it without hesitation!" 

-Beth, Bride

Wrapping ourselves around the details of your story helps us build the most personalized song list possible for your event. When it’s time to assign the musicians who will play your selections, we pay attention to personalities to ensure that every interaction between you, our musicians, and your guests feels effortless. 

You spent months obsessing over the decor for your wedding, and we want to complement your choices—not detract from them! If long black gowns are what you'd like us to wear, then by all means, let's do it. But if an event accented by pampas grass and shades of lavender is in the works, we're equally willing to tailor our wardrobe AND the color of our DJ booth to blend with your aesthetic. Just ask! 

After signing your contract, you’ll receive a questionnaire that encompasses all the logistical details of your day. Based on your preferences, we’ll send over a suggested song list for each section of your ceremony that takes the guesswork out of the selection process. We also take custom requests, and if you’re planning a religious ceremony, we’re more than happy to consult with your rabbi or priest. Our app makes it just as easy to pick your reception tunes by giving you the ability to quickly share favorite songs and a “do not play” list with your DJ.

Our private communication portal, HoneyBook, has a space for everyone—you, your partner, your planner, even your mom if you’d like to loop her in! Rather than bombarding you with random emails, we keep everything pertaining to your event contained within its own little world. You’ll even receive reminders as deadlines draw near.

Not based in Southwest Florida? Not a problem! The majority of our musicians play multiple instruments, enabling them to fill a variety of entertainment roles at your event. Bottom line: Our versatility keeps your costs low, and easily offsets travel expenses. Contact us to discuss destination rates!

Unlike a saxophone or trumpet, classical string instruments do not have the ability to project sound on their own. Because of this, we bring a high-quality instrumental amplifier to ensure our music carries through the crowd. If you choose to book a package that includes DJ Tommy, your event will also benefit from additional sound equipment, audio engineering, and uplighting. 

Our musicians have impressive resumes and extensive classical training, so it may surprise you to hear that most of us are in our early twenties! This gives us the distinct advantage of being able to say “yes” to almost any contemporary song request—something that’s not exactly common among the majority of string musicians. From Mozart to Maroon 5, we’ve got you covered.

Beyond the wedding day

proposals

Set the soundtrack to forever by surprising your soon-to-be fiance with strings! We'll stay in communication (secretly, of course) while you plan your proposal, and arrive at your selected location ready to create an intimate, romantic atmosphere for your engagement celebration. 

“My fiancé contacted Jade about a month prior to [his proposal]; She was accommodating, flexible, and generous of her time and knowledge the entire time. From helping him ensure his plans were big-day-ready; to learning a new, special-request song just one week before the planned proposal date; to rescheduling just hours before because of weather concerns, Jade really went out of her way—and beyond what my fiancé ever expected from any vendor—to make this a positive experience for my fiancé and a beautiful occasion for both of us. And, of course, this is all just logistics next to her exceptional talent, which truly filled the atmosphere of our evening with romance. We could not recommend her enough!" 

-Erin
