We want our clients to have a great time choosing music from the very start! We begin with an email chat or a phone call to the client just to bounce around ideas. From there, I have a couple of secret weapons that I share with my clients to help them narrow down selections for a ceremony, cocktail hour, or party for music that fits together seamlessly. My inbox is ALWAYS open for questions and ideas in the months before the event and I love bouncing ideas around. Rest assured, I will always tell clients what works, and what doesn't. Good music in the right place is priority one, and we feel we best serve our clients by keeping our eye on providing music our clients will not just like, but LOVE.
On the big day, with a quick set up we are ready to play. You'll find us wearing black because we want you all to stand out, not us. We keep our eyes out for cues and work with our venues and fellow vendor teams to coordinate the music with all the day's moments and keep things seamless.
At the end of the day, we hope all your guests will have heard a song they loved, or discovered something new, and that you will feel like the music was exactly what you wanted. Success!
We love what we do, and we think it shows!
Our musicians: Our performers are all professional orchestral musicians who are also go-to musicians for tours with great artists like Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli. We like versatility
Our repertoire: It would be easier to ask what we DON'T play! We have a fantastic collection of pop tunes, jazz standards, classics, and some some surprise genres you should definitely ask us about. We're really proud of what we have to offer. Go to our website's playlist to check it out!
Our clients: The Vanderbilt Strings are a fixture on the Naples event scene with over 150 events annually, and our work is mostly through word of mouth recommendation. You'll find us on the preferred vendor list of all the major area resorts, and some hidden gems, too.
Reach out and tell us about your event. We look forward to hearing from you!
*We are an acoustic group. Why? Because string instruments sound unbelievably good on their own, and most of our clients are all about celebrating outdoors in a natural environment and want the natural sound to go with it. Let us help you match the number of musicians to the size of your group and you'll have the right sound, the right way.
*We don't provide our own sound system for amplification, but since you probably already have someone running the sound for your event, you can let them know to put a mic on us for added fullness if you'd like, no problem!
*We don't use backing tracks. If you like the Vitamin String Quartet, you'll love our sound.
*We don't need electricity. Easy!
