Art-Strings Ensembles

I FOUND ART STRINGS ON GIGSALAD WEBSITE. I'M VERY SKEPTICAL OF HIRING OR PURCHASING ANYTHING ONLINE. BUT I WENT WITH MY GUT FEELING AFTER LISTENING TO ART STRINGS ON THE SITE. I MET WITH ALEXANDER AND WAS CONVINCED I FOUND THE RIGHT ENSEMBLE FOR MY WEDDING. THEY PLAYED FOR BOTH THE CEREMONY AND COCKTAIL HOURS. THEY WERE FANTASTIC. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL, EASY TO WORK WITH. ALEX TOOK THE TIME TO WORK ON AND INCLUDE MUSIC THAT WE LIKED, BUT WERE NOT PART OF THEIR REPERTOIRE. HE LISTED AND KEPT IN CONTACT WITH SUGGESTIONS AND HELP THROUGHOUT THE WEDDING PLANNING. I'M SO VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. EVERYONE, AND I MEAN EVERYONE WHO ATTENED THE WEDDING RATED ART STRINGS ENSEMBLE ELEGANT, FIRST CLASS, PROFESSIONAL AND AMAZING. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BOOKING ART STRINGS FOR MY 5TH ANNIVERSARY. THANKS AGAIN ALEX WE WERE THRILLED WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE. EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT YOUR PERFORMANCE.

We had an amazing experience with Art-Strings. We would highly recommend them. They were extremely professional and easy to work with. They played for our entire wedding reception and all of the guests enjoyed their performance. They were FANTASTIC!!!!!

Alexander and Art-Strings were extremely easy to work with. I came to them based off a recommendation from a friend who used them for her wedding. We were so happy with their performance, their prompt and easy communication and their extreme professionalism. We received so many compliments on their performance and I am so greatly appreciative to have had them as part of our special day. A great ingredient to our perfect wedding. Thanks to Alexander and Art-Strings! We hope to have the chance to use your services again! Highly recommend them and hope to post a video of them performing in the near future.

I called several performers and I had a good feeling when I spoke to
Alexander from Art-Strings. He spent a long time speaking to me on the
phone about my options and I just felt comfortable with him. Every time
I called or emailed he was very quick to get back to me. The day of my
wedding I heard the music (harp & violin) as I was getting ready to walk
down the aisle and I became a little emotional because it sounded so
beautiful! There's something about 'Canon in D' being played live that
always gets me. Overall I would definitely recommend Art-Strings. They
were accommodating, reasonably priced, and sounded great!

"art strings was amazing! from the immediate responses via email, to learning music for our wedding, to the utmost professionalism. GREAT JOB!!!"

Art-Strings Ensembles was a hit at our ceremony! Everyone I spoke to raved about how wonderful their performance was! I will not only refer them to friends/family, but also will not hesitate to hire them again for an event of my own!

There aren't words profound enough to describe how happy we are with Alex and Art-Strings. They exceeded our every expectation. The only regret we have is not hiring them for longer!!! We will absolutely recommend them to everyone. Our guests could not stop talking about not only how wonderful they sounded, but what an elegant and classy touch they provided. They raved about the music and how perfect the sound was. Thank you Alex, you are amazing!!!

"I was very pleased with Alexander and the Art-Strings Ensemble. He always returned my calls and my e-mails were answered promptly. Everyone loved them at my daughter, Christine's wedding. I would very much recommend them for anyone who is looking for a very professional string quartet. Lois Calamari

We were delighted to have Art-Strings play at our wedding at Vineyard Caterers in Aquebogue, NY. We chose an assortment of classical pieces for our ceremony and they played with such incredible beauty, it was absolutely wonderful. We were so happy with our choice to use Art-Strings!

"Alexander was very accommodating, sending samples of specific songs and musical pieces. The performance was fantastic...gave me chills. I WILL recommend Art Strings to everyone I know. They truly had an impact on the feeling of our ceremony."

Absolute professionals! Alexander was so very helpful in choosing songs for the ceremony and was also wonderful in choosing the repetoire during the cocktail hour. My guests raved and we both were very happy with their service. I would recommend them to anyone and will most definitely use them again if the occasion ever calls for it!

"Just wanted to thank Alexander and Art Strings for doing a great job at my wedding. The professionalism and performance was excellent. It was a pleasure working with Alexander to put together a setlist and he was accommodating to a special request. To have a live orchestra at the wedding was a wonderful suprise for my wife who was expecting to walk down the aisle to a CD and the actual Art Strings performance itself made it even better. Thanks."

I hired Art-Strings to play at my surprise proposal, and they did an absolutely perfect job! They were very accommodating, played beautifully, and helped to create an unforgettable experience. Once we set our wedding date, one of the first things I did was book them again for the wedding!

"Art - Strings Ensembles was hired for our cocktail hour and we got positive feedbacks from our guests. Everyone enjoyed their performance. We were able to listen to them and we definitely liked the music they played. Mr Alex Abayev we thank you for your time we truly enjoyed the music you played. This will be truly memorable for us. We highly recommend you for your great professionalism."

Alexander and his ensemble were absolutely fantastic

Alex and the group were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were responsive to emails, professional and punctual. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for making our day even more special!

Mr. Abayev was incredibly professional. He went out of his way to find and play the music I had requested. In addition he found a trumpet player who provided the perfect touch to Wynton Marsalis's version of Eternal Source of Light Devine. The quartet played beautifully. All of my wedding guests complimented their professionalism and talent.

"What a wonderful ensemble! They not only played well, but energetically and with great flair. They were truly a joy to listen to. I would recommend them to anyone!"

Art Strings was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. They are extremely talented, a complete joy to listen to. Other than 2 songs, we didn't have specific selections we wanted played, and left it up to Alex, who did a wonderful job. Our guests commented on how wonderful an addition the music was to the whole day. We definitely recommend Art Strings to anyone looking for an elegant addition to a social event. They're fantastic!
