They even learned songs I had requested that were not in their repertoire. Everyone loved them, they were one of the most talked about topics of the day! No one could stop raving about them! Thank you Alex and the rest of your musicians for giving me a wedding we'll never forget!-Jacalyn

Extremely talented group of musicians. Very professional, followed up with me to make sure they had all the information they needed without me having to chase them, learned a new song for my processional and managed to make it sound amazing using only a string duet. Al of my guests were impressed with the quality of the ceremony music. Alexander, the group leader, is very easy to deal with and accomodating. I would highly recommend Art-Strings and hope to have a chance to hear them again sometime soon!

Alexander and the Art-Strings Ensembles played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were absolutely phenomenal!!! We received many compliments on their music, and everyone that we spoke to agreed they are incredibly talented! One reason, that stands out in particular, that we were so glad to have the Art-Strings play at our wedding was that they saved the day when our limo driver got lost. When I got a phone call from our limo driver and realized that our ceremony would be significantly delayed, the only reason I didn’t completely panic was because I knew that the Art-Strings would be at our church and that they would treat our guests to a beautiful concert while they waited – which they did, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was! Alexander was by far one of my favorite wedding vendors to work with, he was very professional, responded immediately to my many questions and e-mails, and made the process of planning for our wedding ceremony music extremely easy. The musicians were very professional. Despite some last minute changes to our ceremony program they adapted flawlessly on the spot. Moreover, they accommodated all of our requests and played the bridal processional exactly the way I had requested!

We had our wedding on May 1st, 2011, and we had an amazing experience with Alexander and his team. We had their quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and had string with piano for the entire reception. The music throughout the wedding was so romantic and beautiful and impressive! We felt extremely lucky to have them in our wedding, because their music amazed all my guests, and they are extremely professional and friendly and very easy to work with. A lot of my guests comlimented our music after the wedding. My husband and I are so happy to have Alexander and Art-String and we highly recommend them for your upcoming wedding or event. I hope to work with them again in the near future.

Alexander and Art-Strings were extremely easy to work with. I came to them based off a recommendation from a friend who used them for her wedding. We were so happy with their performance, their prompt and easy communication and their extreme professionalism. We received so many compliments on their performance and I am so greatly appreciative to have had them as part of our special day. A great ingredient to our perfect wedding. Thanks to Alexander and Art-Strings! We hope to have the chance to use your services again! Highly recommend them and hope to post a video of them performing in the near future.

We had our wedding on Oct 10,2010 and felt so lucky to have Art-Strings to perform at our wedding. We can't thank Alexander enough to bring so many beautiful music to our wedding and everybody attended the wedding are highly appraised the musician as they noticed the differences.First, Alex has been very cooperative and always quickly response to our questions and requests. He had been working very hard to answer our requests or accommodate our needs.Second, since my wife and I are both from Asia, we had some different traditions to perform our own music at the wedding. I asked Alex if they can perform the music of our own in the wedding, and most important, to perform our own music as Bridal Processional Music. Alex said yes. We find score for him and needless to say, a little concerned, especially the music was oriented from piano. But when we received the sample of violin performance from Alex, we were so happy! The performance was just outstanding! Alex and his partner actually played 3 music that we chose from our own culture, that they probably never heard of, and their performance are all phenomenal. The music at our wedding is one of our best memory and I am sure we will enjoy to watch our videos again and again with the background music played by Art-strings!

I called several performers and I had a good feeling when I spoke toAlexander from Art-Strings. He spent a long time speaking to me on thephone about my options and I just felt comfortable with him. Every timeI called or emailed he was very quick to get back to me. The day of mywedding I heard the music (harp & violin) as I was getting ready to walkdown the aisle and I became a little emotional because it sounded sobeautiful! There's something about 'Canon in D' being played live thatalways gets me. Overall I would definitely recommend Art-Strings. Theywere accommodating, reasonably priced, and sounded great!

There aren't words profound enough to describe how happy we are with Alex and Art-Strings. They exceeded our every expectation. The only regret we have is not hiring them for longer!!! We will absolutely recommend them to everyone. Our guests could not stop talking about not only how wonderful they sounded, but what an elegant and classy touch they provided. They raved about the music and how perfect the sound was. Thank you Alex, you are amazing!!!Michelle & Dennis McCrady07-30-2010

"I was very pleased with Alexander and the Art-Strings Ensemble. He always returned my calls and my e-mails were answered promptly. Everyone loved them at my daughter's wedding on May 22nd, 2010. I would very much recommend them for anyone who is looking for a very professional string quartet. Lois Calamari"

Art Strings was extremely helpful and accommodating in performing music for our wedding ceremony. All of the music had to be from a specific selection, and needed to sound like the originals, and everything sounded even better than I could have imagined. Alexander's communication was excellent. Since the wedding, everyone at our wedding has raved about the music. Thank you Alexander!"

Absolute professionals! Alexander was so very helpful in choosing songs for the ceremony and was also wonderful in choosing the repetoire during the cocktail hour. My guests raved and we both were very happy with their service. I would recommend them to anyone and will most definitely use them again if the occasion ever calls for it!

Alexander and his team are excellent musicians. They played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He helped me in my music selection for the processional and recessional parts of the ceremony. Their music added that poignancy to our wedding.

"Just wanted to thank Alexander and Art Strings for doing a great job at my wedding. The professionalism and performance was excellent. It was a pleasure working with Alexander to put together a setlist and he was accommodating to a special request. To have a live orchestra at the wedding was a wonderful suprise for my wife who was expecting to walk down the aisle to a CD and the actual Art Strings performance itself made it even better. Thanks."

I hired Art-Strings to play at my surprise proposal, and they did an absolutely perfect job! They were very accommodating, played beautifully, and helped to create an unforgettable experience. Once we set our wedding date, one of the first things I did was book them again for the wedding!
