June 14, 2026Incredible String Musician
Summit Strings was very easy to work with and played beautifully on our wedding day! We requested they play a piece that was written by our close friend and they prepared the peace wonderfully and even offered additional equipment in a time of need. Thank you and I would be very happy to work with them again!

Summit Strings provided the most perfect, seamless music experience for mine and my husband’s wedding. Any questions I had were promptly answered and I felt very taken care of. They were adaptable with changing weather and met all of our requests with ease. I definitely recommend!

April 20, 2026Celebration of Life Service
They say music can be healing, and in this case, Summit Strings proved it. You usually think of a String Quartet for a wedding, but in this case, it was for my brother's Celebration of Life Service. They had a playlist with a wide variety of choices. Even though there was one song we wanted that wasn't on their playlist, they added it for us, and we appreciated their flexibility.
The music was so beautiful, and each song held special meaning for my brother. The last song played, "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N ' Roses, was the icing on the cake. We asked them to rock out on this song, and they did not disappoint. It was perfect. I cannot give Steve, and Summit Strings high enough praise. They made my brother's send-off one to remember. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Laura McKaskel

October 7, 2025Summit Strings was wonderful!
We had Steve Holman on the guitar and Joy Pritz on the violin from Summit Strings to play for our wedding ceremony prelude, the ceremony itself, and the cocktail hour. They provided amplification which worked nicely. They were also very accommodating to our song requests. I even had a specific song they hadn’t done before for the groom to walk out to, and they found the sheet music for it and did wonderfully playing it without a hitch. I, of course being the bride, didn’t get to hear any of the prelude, but the music I did hear was beautiful and, granted I wasn’t listening for any, I never heard any hiccups. Everything was so smooth and made for the perfect, elegant background music during cocktail hour. They are quite versatile with the ability to play more traditional songs as well as more modern songs. If I ever had questions throughout the planning process, I could just text or email Steve and he got back promptly each time. They both were very friendly once I finally got to meet them in person, as well! Overall, a great experience and all for a very reasonable price!

September 22, 2025Beautiful and Moving Music!
We loved having Summit Strings play for our ceremony! Their playing was beautiful and many of our guests commented on how lovely the music was. Steve was wonderful to work with, from learning two special songs for our processionals to his professionalism in our interactions and planning. I cannot recommend Summit Strings enough for your wedding or special event!
