Overview
Whether a wedding, private party, or your grandmother's 90th birthday, you can impress your guests with live chamber music. We have years of experience organizing wedding music, as well as music for other events including art gallery openings and brunches, dinner events, fundraisers, batmitzvahs, funerals, recordings, and (you guessed it) 90th birthday parties. Choose from a large assortment of music: classical, pop, ragtime, or opera and showtune favorites. Special requests can be arranged, given enough time, for a $15 fee per song. We are happy to work with vocalists and church music directors. Short notice is not a problem!!

October 15, 2023Elegant & Entertaining Duo
So grateful to Rebecca & Karen’s performance at our daughter’s wedding. They played a medley of traditional and contemporary music that was beautifully performed and appreciated by our guests. Very easy to work with when arranging the gig and after we gave them initial input we just let them go! They get it and absolutely nailed the music to make this special day that much more extra. Definitely highly recommend!

October 1, 2022Absolutely Perfect!
I have no experience with hiring musicians. For my upcoming garden wedding ceremony we hired Arreaux Strings for the day. What a great choice. From the very beginning Rebecca's communication was excellent, she made the process of choosing music easy. She is an expert at her craft. We got more compliments about how wonderful the ceremony music was and it really made our day so memorable. I would highly recommend Arreaux Strings for your next event!! You will not regret it!

September 11, 2022Wedding Ceremony
Arreaux Strings delivered on my big day. They added that extra touch I was dreaming of on my wedding. As I was waiting to enter the hall, I had my ear pressed up to the door listening to the prelude they provided with the string trio. Very professional, phenomenal skill, and a beautiful addition to any big event. Couldn't be happier with choosing Arreaux Strings. Would definitely recommend!

May 16, 2022A beautiful and moving performance - perfect in every way!
The Arreaux String Quarter recently performed at a Memorial Tribute Concert and Celebration of Life Mass for our dear daughter, who passed away in 2020. The music selections for the concert were beautifully performed - many of the attendees remarked they felt such an emotional connection that they were moved to tears. The accompaniment with our Cantor for the religious music during the Mass was absolutely outstanding. Their performance made this a special day for our sweet daughter and I cannot thank them enough!
