Harmonia Strings performed at our home wedding in Park Slope. They were wonderful in every way, a 5 out of 5 in every category. We had very specific requests and a specific program of music for the ceremony and every request was met. The music performance during the ceremony was perfectly coordinated with the presider and our vows.
I highly recommend Harmonia Strings in every way.

If you are redaing this and trying to decide who to hire - look no further! I can't even begin to say how happy I was that I chose Harmonia Strings!
Being musicians ourselves, I wanted to surprise my fiance by having live music for the ceremony. As most people are, we were on a pretty tight budget and had planned on using recorded music. Though it was beautiful, I knew it just wouldn't be perfect. When I found Harmonia Strings and saw that they already had our processional music in their portfolio I decided to email Djeina to see if they could also add our unity candle music. Together, we found a beautiful arrangement. When Djeina went above and beyond to make that happen I knew I had made the right choice.
In order to keep the surprise they had no rehearsal and were still able to fit seamlessly into our ceremony. The surprise was a huge hit with my fiance, family, and guests.
They play beautifully, are true professionals, and are so easy to work with! Seriously, hire them, you will not be disappointed!

Harmonia Strings played last weekend at my daughters wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were wonderful, and made our wedding so special. The music was beautiful and everyone commented how they enjoyed the strings. Djeina was great to work with and so helpful with our music selections. Honestly, I wished they could have played all night.....

We hired a Harmonia Strings duet for our ceremony and cocktail hour after hearing them at a friend's wedding. They sounded great at our friend's wedding, and people seemed to really enjoy hearing modern songs played on string instruments. For our own wedding, we took pictures during the cocktail hour, so we didn't really get to hear them play. All of our family and friends said they were wonderful, though. Additionally, they were fantastic to deal with throughout the planning process. Can't recommend Harmonia Strings enough.

Harmonia Strings played at my ceremony and cocktail hour on Sunday afternoon, August 14th. In a word, they were AMAZING. Despite the inclement weather, and the distance traveled, they showed up early, and ready to play. The ceremony was indoors, and they gladly played in a cramped (but dry) space. They easily moved outdoors for the cocktail hour (under an overhang). At all times, they were extremely professional, and they played all our requests.
Our guests commented on how amazing they were. Harmonia Strings really made our wedding so special. I wish they could have stayed longer, but they had to leave for another wedding elsewhere.
THANK YOU !!!

The two main themes I'd like to stress about Harmonia are quality and Flexibility. THe music they performed at our ceremony added an element and excitement that would have been sorely missed and they sounded beautiful. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful it was. When we ran over our scheduled time, they played through and didn't make a big deal about it, simply emailing us about it after. This was wonderful as it took the stress and business out of the day. I can't say enough about how glad we were we went with music and more specifically with Harmonia.

Harmonia Strings played for our son's wedding on Saturday , 6/11/11. They were incredible and provided beautiful music at a fair cost. They were able to tailor the music for our special requests and all of our guests thought they were fabulous. They added so much to the ceremony and the cocktail hour and we highly recommend them!

Absolutely wonderful! We decided to go slightly off the traditional wedding music route with our selections and Harmonia Strings had everything we wanted and made our ceremony that much more special! We had a violin and guitar duo as I love violin and my husband loves acoustic guitar. We chose Moon River for the bridal processional and it had everyone in tears, myself and father included. We also chose Come Rain or Come Shine for our unity candle lighting and Here Comes the Sun for our recessional. EVERYONE commented on how beautiful and personalized our ceremony was and that due in part to the gorgeous music. They are true professionals and artists and you won't need to worry about your ceremony music even for a second if you book them! Highly recommended!

Harmonia Strings were great to work with. I booked them 2 weeks before my wedding. Djena was very responsive and accommodating. On the day of my wedding the duo I hired were total professionals. They played beautifully and added another layer of beauty to my ceremony. I totally recommend them and would hire them again for a party or event in the future.

We booked Harmonia Strings for our daughter's wedding ceremony and were very pleased. Quick email responses to questions, helpful with music selections. Showed up early at the church, impeccably dressed, talented and professional. The performance was beautiful. Guests were impressed, our daughter was so happy. The perfect touch of class to make any special occasion even more memorable. Would book again. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure having Harmonia Strings play at my daughters wedding at Jericho Terrace on Oct. 23, 2010. I found them to be very pleasant & professional. The guests were quite impressed with their music. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Who knows...I have a son who's still single. I would definitely hire them for his wedding. Thank you again for such a wonderful job! Mary Johnston

We were very pleased with Harmonia Strings, and would definitely recommend them! We had some last minute song changes, and they were flexible and did an amazing job! They accompanied singers they had never met before and worked with another musician they had never met before. Everything was wonderful!

Harmonia Strings performed at my ceremony and cocktail hour. The guests at my wedding commented to me that they forgot there was a live quartet playing at the cocktail hour because the music sounded so amazing and professional. Their performance was perfect and sounded beautiful. The ceremony was outside and they were perfectly fine with that. In addition, the guests loved the variety of music that was played. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Harmonia was amazing.
They played my ceremony and cocktail hour. For the bridal procession, they learned and arranged a tune I requested using only a youtube video I sent them. It sounded fabulous. Djeina was also very helpful with suggestions for other music for the ceremony, all of which was played wonderfully.
As for the pre-ceremony seating music and music for cocktail hour, I basically left it in Djeina's hands and it turned out great.
We had no professional coordinators nor any venue managers to help out, so I, the groom, was in charge of a lot of things, including the music. Harmonia had great attitudes and were a pleasure to work with. They showed up with plenty of time to prepare and were very patient with the hectic scene around them. We had a small venue and so we had to arrange things just right. They were a great help in terms of arranging their instruments and equipment without needing my input on all the details, allowing me to attend to my guests and enjoy the day.
I think our wedding may have been considered a somewhat challenging event for a string group, but Harmonia pulled it off wonderfully!
