I booked Krista Swider and her husband (they play as the Broadway Swider Duo from Sonorous Strings) to play at my wedding this fall. I met with Krista over the summer to discuss my options for music, and to help me portray a specific theme for my wedding. We went over pieces of music together, and she helped me put together a wonderful selection :) She even was able to incorporate "May it Be" by Enya into prelude music, and it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. She was such a joy to work with, so easy to talk to, and so happy to accommodate my needs. I highly recommend them, they are so talented at what they do, they really made my wedding absolutely beautiful :)

Response from Sonorous Strings:
Thank you so much, Anna, for your kind words! We are so happy that we had the chance to play for you. I loved meeting with you and working out all the little details and then watching it all come to life! Congratulations and many warm wishes from Sonorous Strings!

We booked the Sonorous Strings for our daughter's wedding this summer, and they were great. Many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how good the quartet sounded. They played with accomplishment, joy and style.
Krista was also easy to work with beforehand. She was enthusiastic and flexible, incorporating a non-traditional song into our other more traditional selections. During the ceremony they flawlessly rolled with program, including the (inevitable) unplanned change. They were hassle free - they set up, played and broke down with no help needed on our part, which was great since there was so much going on otherwise! I would book SS again with confidence.

Thank you for your kind words, Deena. We really enjoyed playing for your son's wedding! I had a lot of fun arranging "Zelda's Lullaby" from, "The Legend of Zelda" for string quartet. It was also lovely to work with you! Thank you so much for your positive feedback!

The music was absolutely perfect for the ceremony, the social hour, and the subsequent dinner. Countless guests commented on how impressed they were with the playing, the song selection, and the overall contribution of the quartet to the experience. My wife and I couldn't be happier.
