A perfect addition!

Austin and his team were wonderful to work with! Their talent and breadth of music compositions to select from were amazing. They were a perfect addition to the wedding day, providing music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. So many guests commented on just how beautiful the music was. Thank you Austin for making such a special day that much more wonderful!

Hired as: Classical Ensemble

Excellent!

Could not have been more perfect. Coastal played during our daughter’s wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour and we could not have asked for a better pair! Loved the violin/cello and they played exactly what my daughter had wanted. We received many compliments on their behalf. I highly recommend having them at your next event. They communicated well with us and we appreciated the fact that they asked for a play list.

Perfect Choice!

Austin and his team truly made our daughter's ceremony special! They are friendly, professional, and so eager to accommodate! Communication with Austin was always timely and effective. He was so flexible, helping us navigate a Covid reschedule, a last minute decision to upgrade to a trio, and a very last minute rain/cold plan! The questionnaire he sent helped my daughter and her (now) husband determine the tone they wanted for the ceremony. They chose contemporary selections and Coastal Chamber Musicians played them beautifully. Their performance truly enhanced the light, happy, and celebratory mood of the day! I received many comments from guests regarding how beautiful and uplifting the ceremony music was. Most of all, the bride and groom were so happy with every aspect of the day, and especially their ceremony music, thanks to Coastal Chamber Musicians. Thanks Austin and team!

Perfect

Austin arrived at the agreed upon time, amid a few last-minute changes, and setup quickly for a surprise proposal. It went perfectly! I could not have been happier with the service, and my fiancée couldn’t have been more taken aback by the atmosphere and music provided by the cellist. Thank you!!

What to expect

Looking for a Bridgerton vibe for your event? Or just looking for some classy and unique? You’ve come to the right place. Having live string music is the best way to give your wedding or event that extra special something that sets it apart. We play classical music, but we also love playing pop covers of everything from Lady Gaga to One Direction to Guns and Roses. We have a vast repertoire, but if we don’t have your favorite song we will get it! We work hand in hand with you to curate the exact musical experience you’re trying to create for yourself and your guests.

About

Based in Charleston, SC, Coastal Chamber Musicians has been playing for weddings, dinners, and other special events throughout South Carolina and Georgia for 15 years. In addition to hundreds of wedding performances, we perform for clients such as Wells Fargo, the Sprint Corporation, the SC Medical Assocation, the Coastal Community Foundation Major Donor Dinner, and the US Air Force.

We perform as string soloes, duos, trios, quartets, or even as a string chamber orchestra if desired! Our repertoire spans everything from Bach to Taylor Swift, and if we haven’t played your favorite piece, we will learn it just for you! We provide acoustic ensembles as well as amplified ensembles. We can also do the PA for your ceremony.

We love what we do and hope to bring our excitement for music to your event!

Additional booking notes

We can play indoor or outdoor. If playing outdoor we require shade and a sturdy covering in the case of rain. We require a chair for each musician performing. We have the ability to perform acoustic and amplified ensembles. Our amplification equipment is battery powered so we do not require access to a power cord. We can also provide a PA system if needed.
