Uptown Strings were professional, on- time, courteous and talented. Once I described the setting for the wedding ceremony ( under big oak trees draped in Spanish Moss) they offered ideas for the play list. The mellow sound of the instruments sounded so beautiful outside under the oaks. Well worth the money! I would certainly hire them again. Mary Martin Nordness
We hired a trio to play with my college roommate this weekend and they were extremely professional, showed up on time, and learned (or brushed up on) all of the songs we requested. I would definitely recommend them to play at your wedding.
We tried to make sure we took every measure to see that our ceremony felt classy and perfect, and uptown strings helped up achieve our goal! Uptown Strings was helpful every step of the way, and was something we didn't have to worry about on the wedding day. They emailed me every few weeks from the time I booked them to help plan out the music and give awesome suggestions. When the wedding party arrived Uptown Strings was already set up and playing prelude music. The church was beautiful, everything was in place, but the atmosphere would not have been as comfortable and relaxing without the music. The prelude music was something I really liked for the guests. It is not distracting, but it makes you feel like something is going on instead of awkwardly waiting in a church for a ceremony to begin. This trio was very professional and rich sounding. They worked off cues very well during the ceremony, and everything went off without a hitch. Thank you Uptown Strings!
Recently hired a violin duo for our wedding and they were perfect. They brought their own repertoire and were willing to play my arrangements as well, which they performed beautifully. They were professional and very nice musicians also.
Uptown Strings did a great job!
Uptown strings played for our wedding ceremony and it was just perfect. They played everything that I requested and it was just beautiful!
Excellent quality and variety of music, lots of talent, and musicians have fun personalities. Lots of requests to have them back for another concert from the audience. This was a classical duo - one violin, one cello.
