November 14, 2022MAGICAL
I still have no words, the BEST decision we made was to hire Serenade Events for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It elevated the whole experience and everyone was shocked when they heard them play. We cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful day, thank you!

July 16, 2022Really beautiful music, super professional team
We absolutely LOVED the music for our wedding. We gave only small requests for the ceremony and the music they played for the reception was perfect. Our guests all commented on how classy the event felt. Would hire again in a heartbeat, and the cost was reasonable. They also provided us with a mic for the ceremony at a fraction of what the venue was trying to charge us. Highly recommend!!
Hired as: String Trio

July 6, 2026Disappointing
Very Disappointed. The song choices we had were not played very well. Lots of pauses. Some of the bridesmaids walked down to no music. I didn’t hear any music while guest were settling in for the ceremony. Then one of them packed their stuff up in the middle of cocktail hour. All information was given to them beforehand. However I had to reach out and verify. They never reached out to me on anything. Very disappointing.
Hired as: String Quartet
Serenade Events
We reached out and exchanged 11 emails with you and gave you all the music planning material. There are pauses in live music as the ensemble changes the sheet music for the next song and we played for the full contracted time of 4:00-6:00PM, this is being disputed for having multiple false claims in it. Thank you.

What can I expect after booking?
We are so excited to be part of your big day! Once booked, we will send over our large music list and for Weddings we will send over our Vendor Form and request your Venue/Coordinator info. For Wedding Ceremonies we make a set list and usually play for Entrances, Exits, and any Special Moments. For any Background Music in Wedding Preludes, Cocktail Hours, Dinners, Events, etc we can play from a list or if you give us genres/artists you have in mind we can play from our book in that style.
We can also play requests outside our book as long as there is sheet music available and we have a short list of the most popular song options available upon request. For Weddings we look to finalize the list one month out from the Wedding date.
Please note that during Wedding Season and on Weekends we may require 24-48 hrs for responses and music planning requests
