I am so happy they played at my wedding!!!

I have always dreamed of walking down the aisle to live music. The Sister Strings really made that dream into a reality.
I mostly communicated with Jewel, and she made selecting music a breeze. I really did not know how things were going to work out on the day of, but it was beautiful nonetheless. They were very professional, and prompt. I highly recommend them for any event!!!
Thank you so much!

So professional and talented!

We had Sister Strings perform at my daughter's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They are awesome. So talented and professional and easy to work with! We had a couple glitches and they covered us while we figured them out. If any of my other children get married in the area they will be performing!! Thank you two!

AWESOME duo!!

We had the wonderful experience of hiring Sister Strings for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they blew us away! Very easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable about song arrangements, and very professional. Their rendition of Can't Help Falling in Love With You as I walked down the aisle was the highlight of the ceremony. We highly recommend them!
