Julie was awesome. Such a great musician. Very professional and did a great job of guiding and coaching us to make the event so memorable.
Julie and Danut played absolutely beautiiful music for our ceremony. We had so many great compliments about the music they played. Julie played everything we wanted! The only regret I hVe is that I was not able to hear all of their Prelude music, because I had to be so far away until it was my entrance time! Their music brought tears to my groom and guests!
Due to extenuating circumstances I had to book a cellist for my wedding very late in the process. Every Occasion Strings took the gig, put together 30 minutes of pre-ceremony music and played our ceremony pieces exactly as requested. Communication was always clear and easy. I would gladly hire Every Occasion Strings again.
Response from Every Occasion Strings:

I am a professional cellist with over 40 years experience performing for Weddings, concerts and events. We played as a string quartet for Judge Judy's Daughters wedding, Jake Long of the Miami Dolphins wedding, Delta Burke's Wedding and several other high profile weddings. Judge Judy sat and gave us her undivided attention at the cocktail reception. She approached us to tell us that the music selections were lovely , we played them beautifully and it was a perfect evening.
We provide the highest level music to make your wedding or event truly memorable.

You can trust my judgment to put together a beautiful selection of music according to your taste and genre for Prelude and Cocktail Reception. If there is a piece that is especially important to you for your wedding ceremony that is not on my list, if it is available, I can purchase it and arrange it if necessary for an additional fee.
We need a flat bottomed, armless chair for each musician at each site where we will be performing. We need microphones if you wish to have music other than accoustic natural sound. We provide everything else we need.
