March 2, 2023I attended a wedding that Southern Strings was playing at and I was incredibly impressed with how beautiful the music was. Their song selections were perfect and made the wedding and cocktail hour feel like magic. If you are looking for the perfect group to play for any event, you are in good hands with Southern Strings. I can't wait to hire them for my own personal event some day!

We'll work with you to create a unique setlist for you and the different people in your bridal party so it's truly a once in a lifetime experience. We have lots of suggestions for recessional songs, too! Oh - and ask about our cocktail hour add on!
Hi! We’re Kristi and Claire!
We’re Nashville string players who met through a mutual colleague and instantly became fast friends. It only took one wine + charcuterie night to realize we both love weddings, have a passion for music and performance, as well as experience running our own respective businesses to decide to join forces!
Through years of being orchestral string players in Nashville, we’re grateful to know the most talented string players middle Tennessee has to offer. Our dream is to partner with you to bring a joyful and timeless string experience to your Wedding or Special Event.
We are so proud to present Southern Strings to you and we hope you look to us to provide the perfect ambiance for your special occasion!
All we ask for is a plan in case of rain, extreme cold, or extreme heat. We can talk more specifically about this need depending on what time of year your wedding or event is, but we always come to an agreement with couples!

With over 900 songs in our repertoire of all varieties, every setlist we create with couples and event managers is different. We play traditional weddings with hymns and classical music, we also play modern contemporary weddings looking for that Bridgerton vibe, and we can provide a mix of the two if you prefer!

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
Make You Feel My Love - Adele
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
My Girl - Temptations
Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
Accidentally In Love - The Counting Cows
