I still have no words, the BEST decision we made was to hire Serenade Events for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It elevated the whole experience and everyone was shocked when they heard them play. We cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful day, thank you!

Response from Serenade Events:
Thank you Riley! We were happy to be part of the big day and congratulations again on a beautiful Wedding!!
We absolutely LOVED the music for our wedding. We gave only small requests for the ceremony and the music they played for the reception was perfect. Our guests all commented on how classy the event felt. Would hire again in a heartbeat, and the cost was reasonable. They also provided us with a mic for the ceremony at a fraction of what the venue was trying to charge us. Highly recommend!!

We had high hopes for the violinist we hired from Serenade events for a small intimate wedding ceremony but we were gravely disappointed. At first, everything seemed great when we started talking to them and they were very responsive. But after we paid the deposit, things started to go very badly. Serenade events became unresponsive for 2 weeks as we desperately tried to contact them to organize logistics for the wedding. Only after threatening to dispute with the credit card companies did they finally respond. When we asked about what the violinist would need for the wedding, they said only a chair (which turned out be a lie). They also would not tell us the full name of the violinist either.
When the day of the event came, things didn’t go well. First, as it turns out the violinist had an electric violin which required a power source. We were not notified of this before. We had to scramble to find long extension cords to power the violin. When he started playing, it was clear that the violinist was not experienced at all. He kept looking up the notes for the song he was playing and the quality of his playing was very poor. There were a lot of gaps in between the songs and when we moved inside for dinner, the music was incredibly loud and we could barely hear the violin. Then after he was done playing and we were at dinner, the violinist was supposed to leave but he was waiting by the exit for almost an hour. Turns out he didn’t even have a car! He literally Ubered 100 miles from LA to Palm Springs and was struggling to find an Uber back to the city. We felt so bad for him my father gave him $100 and drove him somewhere more convenient to get picked up. This put a sour end to an otherwise beautiful wedding.
We were all buzzing from the beautiful ceremony but seeing the violinist with no ride made us feel negatively. Also, the violinist indicated that he had no point of contact upon arrival and he had difficulty finding the venue, this is after we provided the main coordinator’s contact info to Serenade Events. We do not blame the violinist but Serenade Events, the company that hired him. PS I had a terrible feeling about them from the beginning but gave them a chance because they seemed so responsive in the beginning.

We hired Serenade Events to play for our guest arrival, ceremony, and for the social hour. Their string quartet was beautiful, they made a request for me they didn't have in their music, and they played a bunch of our favorite songs during the social hour. We absolutely would recommend them, the whole thing was very easy and beautiful.

Professional, patient, and incredible music. He was amazing and not only am I going to use him again if possible, but would recommend him to anyone looking to make a dinner, an engagement, a wedding, any event special.

We booked serenade events for our wedding, it was very unconventional more like just a large dinner party. We paid for 4 hours and gave very clear instructions on the only 2 special requests. They MAYBE played for two hours out of the four. Took so many breaks in between every song. They decided to take over an hour break to eat (which we had to pay for) and every time they would start to play they would stop after 90 seconds and talk (?). Our wedding planner had to remind them over five time to please just keep playing. This was our largest and most disappointing expense for our wedding. I reached out multiple times for them to refund at least a part of the cost, and they have never responded. Please choose a different strings company so you are not disappointed like my husband and I were.

Now nothing can be more magical than having Santa and Mrs. Claus at your event...but if you have a chance to add to the magic, please book Serande events. This was the cherry on top! The music and presence of this group is another form of magic. Just to hear it in person at any event would be phenomenal. Just takes your breath away. Your heart truly sings to the harmony this group magnify. Sounds of Angels. 10 Stars

I hired Serenade Events in January 2023 for my wedding in April ‘23. I was in communication with Jeff throughout the process. I specifically chose to forego other wedding expenses so we could have live music for ceremony and cocktail hour using music that was special to us- it was my top priority and what I was most looking forward to. Right before the ceremony we realized the cellist hadn’t shown. We tried calling and no answer. I received an email from Jeff less than an hour before they were supposed to show saying their cellist was ill and that they’d tried to find another musician but would be unable to make it and that they would refund our initial deposit and the total we paid that week. That’s it. What?? Seriously? That is an absolutely INSANE thing to do to someone on their wedding. We had to delay the ceremony an hour so I could make a playlist, find adapters, set up speakers, and ask a guest to play youtube videos in the right order for our cues. 100 guests were just waiting out there. It was a nightmare and everyone was so stressed out. Cellist was scheduled for cocktail hour too so we had to have a guest play random music off of my laptop for that as well. Far cry from the curated playlist I spent weeks developing and months spent ensuring they could provide it. I wish I could go back in time to hire literally anyone else.
I’m still in disbelief of how this was handled. Not even a call- an EMAIL less than an HOUR before the ceremony. If they had given me even two hours notice, I could’ve asked my musician father to bring his guitar. I could’ve asked SOMEONE to bring SOMETHING. Instead they chose to ruin someone’s wedding. I’m sure we would’ve loved their musicians- it saddens me to see so many great reviews knowing that’s what we would’ve had. If Jeff had time to email me then he had time to come on down to the wedding himself to replace his musician, and he definitely had time to inform me in the morning instead of right before the ceremony.
Directing this at Jeff since he never responded to me: You gave me zero time. What bride do you know is checking her email before they walk down the aisle? You should’ve refunded more than what you did for how much grief you caused us. Maybe I should’ve been the one requesting a deposit from you so you would’ve had any incentive to send SOMEONE.
Oh, and I responded to Jeff’s email by telling him how their actions impacted the wedding and how this was a truly awful thing to do someone on their wedding day after hiring them months ahead of time. Didn’t even get a response.
No hard feelings to the ill cellist. I’m sure he’s a great musician and hard worker. I hope Serenade Events feels a semblance of shame but it doesn’t really seem like it.

Cannot put into words how grateful I am for having Serenade Events’ String Quartet at my wedding. The amount of guest that told me what a beautiful touch it was to have them at the ceremony is beyond me. Thank you a millions times, I would definitely recommend and book again.
We had booked Jeffrey Strand in July to come perform for a marketing event we titled An Afternoon at the Opera to take place in September at our independent living community for seniors. Our residents were so excited to have such a high caliber performer coming to sing for us. We advertised this event for two months. The day before, we reached out as we always do for any scheduled performer to reconfirm. We did so via phone, text, FB Messenger AND email, but oddly did not get any response. The following day at 10:47 AM (the event was set to start at 3:30 PM, and we had a full house coming including a number of RSVPs from potential leads) we finally got an email response from Jeff. It read, "Thanks for checking in, unfortunately I have been sick the last few days and not able to sing today. Our apologies, we were looking forward to it. It looks like we did not collect a deposit or anything like that to return but if you would like to reschedule in the future please let me know. Thank you, Jeff" Needless to say, we were less than thrilled. This event was booked months ago. Jeff sent us his W-9 form when we booked, and we had his payment via check issued and ready to hand him as we had discussed (no deposit was requested). Of course, we understand that people get sick, and we hoped he felt better soon; but to not even have someone from the company personally reach out via phone to talk to us about the matter seemed very unprofessional. Also, the fact that our performer was sick for several days and never called to let us know there may be the potential for a cancellation was also very unprofessional. It is our understanding that Serenade Events has a number of talented performers, so it would have been nice if they would have offered to send a substitute singer or set of musicians--We in fact replied to the email and called to see if there was any way something like this could be worked out so that we could salvage this important event, but we got no answer. It was such a disappointment for our seniors and a very bad look for us with our potential leads to have to cancel with no notice. And honestly, it did not seem like we were really a priority at all to this company given the way the entire situation was handled. From what we have seen in videos, Jeff Strand is an amazing performer, as are many of the musicians that Serenade Events offers. I'm sure we would have thoroughly enjoyed a performance by him or any one of the musicians from this company had we been given the opportunity. It's quite a shame that did not happen. :(

We hired serenades to play for a friends backyard wedding. They were easy to work with and professional. The harpist was so sweet and so nice. Her harp was absolutely beautiful and very classy for a wedding. She plays all different kinds of songs. I didn't have to tell her what to play because she hit every song on the nose. I will be sure to hire them for another event.
Thank you!

I thought this was a trusted company in the wedding industry. I was so excited to do a mashup of songs to surprise my husband as I walked down the aisle. The pianist did great! However, I was not allowed any contact with the pianist, nor would they give us a sample of our song because the pianist is “too busy”.
In addition, we requested a specific pianist, and were told we would have him play on our day; when we got to the wedding, we had another pianist.
When I tried to contact the owner, he would respond every 2-3 days. We were only a couple of days before the wedding and the owner would not reply, so we requested the contact of the pianist to ensure they were still coming. He did not reply until the day before.
I truly do not recommend this company unless you are okay will low communication and only have one song in mind for them to play. They will not allow you to hear them play it prior though. So disappointed and was the only vendor that caused stress for us ):
Pianist
Response from Serenade Events:
Hello Tessa, we take all our communication seriously and we are disappointed to see this situation so misrepresented in this review. We answered all your messages and calls, often times within a couple of hours, and at most within 48 hrs. During peak wedding season we may take up to 24-48 hrs to respond but we never left you waiting on an answer later than that.
We had also informed you our Pianist Katie would be playing. We have several Pianists, Katie being one of our wonderful, and regular Pianists. We don't share their personal info but we do work with them and the client to direct the music. As noted, Katie played beautifully, which we know she always does, and the music was exactly as requested. We strive to make every client happy but we are disappointed to see this situation being so misrepresented in this review. We would be happy to talk further, as well. Thanks again, we were happy to be part of such a beautiful wedding!

I hired Serenade Events to play at a surprise proposal for my now fiancé. Jeff was always prompt and highly professional with responding to emails and phone calls, and has great attention to detail. He is kind and polite, and he made me feel comfortable knowing that everything would go well. The violinist, Sierra, traveled an hour to Sedona to perform. She played beautifully, despite it being in the 40's outside (the proposal was outdoors after the sun went down). She even played an extra song for us. When I have another event (e.g. wedding), I will be sure to hire them again. I highly recommend Serenade Events to anyone looking for great performers, excellent customer service, and complete peace of mind. Thank you, Jeff and Sierra!

We can book events that are weeks, months, or even years away - In order to hold your date and time on our calendar we ask for a deposit and the remaining balance can be paid up until the week of the Wedding/Event. We can send you an invoice for a credit card, check, or Zelle.
Please visit our Contact Page or email us at Info@SerenadeEvents.com to book your date.

What do we require for set up?
We bring everything we need for our set up, all we require from the venue is one chair per musician (preferably without arms) and shade or an umbrella if performing outdoors in sunlight or in inclement weather. We will arrive 30 minutes early and finish our set up 15 minutes before the start time. Please make sure to loop us in with your Coordinator or our Point of Contact for our arrival prior to the big day. Typically, the Coordinator or Point of Contact will show us where to set up, provide any cues needed for song timing, and provide information for load in, parking validation, and more.
If there is no additional Coordinator or Point of Contact, please provide us with that information prior to the Wedding/Event.
