October 6, 2023AMAZING Instrumentalists!!!!
We hired District Strings to play music at our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. First of all, they were able to make a custom arrangement to be played during the recessional from a song by one of the groomsmen; his reaction when he finally realized they were playing his song so beautifully was amazing. They were amenable to our requests and worked amazingly with our wedding DJ to get everything perfect for our day. They withstood the heat outside in the courtyard as well as our delayed timeline and still stayed for our cocktail hour despite how long the ceremony took to start. Beyond being compassionate vendors, they also played AMAZING MUSIC, it was beautiful. We were very happy to have them and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND District Strings for any event that needs to add a touch of elegance :D

September 2, 2019District Strings Exceeded Expectations
District Strings performed impeccably at the church celebration of our golden wedding anniversary last month. They provided the musical prelude to our anniversary mass, and performed at key points during the mass itself. What was truly impressive, and a testament to their utmost professionalism, was that they played flawlessly some of the musical pieces together with the church cantor and organist, both of whom they met only at church for the first time. Their masterful joint performance without prior practice or preparation was quite delightful.
We are thankful to the District Strings for helping lift the hearts and enhance the joy of all our guests with their sublime music. In addition, Erin, the group leader, was easy to work with and helped us greatly in selecting an all classical music program. She was also quite accommodating to our rather unusual request for her to accompany on her cello our ten-year old grandson who played Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1 on his violin during the musical prelude.
In sum I would hire District Strings again without a second thought.

March 25, 2018Amazing musicians, beautiful performance
Wow! These are the best musicians I have ever worked with - and I've work with a lot of musicians in my long career. They were tasked to perform new music - some of which was very tricky - and they pulled it off beautifully.

September 21, 2026Everyone raved about the District Strings violin/cello duo!
The District Strings violin/cello duo played followed a playlist we provided of both Classical and Contemporary music to perfection and even learned a new song for the ceremony exit of the bride and groom to the outdoor cocktail party before the main reception.
Hired as: String Trio
