About

J&K Strings is a violin/cello duo serving the NEPA area. We started playing together over 15 years ago - ever since we were budding string players in middle school. Now, as professionals, we've taken on playing weddings and other special events. We are versatile musicians who enjoy leaving the "classical comfort zone" and playing different styles of music. Most of our weddings are played together as a duet, but we can also add more players to the mix to create a trio or quartet if you're interested!

Nothing short of amazing!

Booking Katie and John was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still have goosebumps when I think back to our big day and hearing them perform while we walked out. The music was beautiful and they are very amazing at what they do. It seems like they truly enjoy it too - as everything was seamless from the beginning when we started communicating up until the end. We still get compliments on our ceremony, and I owe it to them. Having them their made our special moment so much more magical. I HIGHLY recommend booking these amazing people if you are thinking about it!

John and Katie were the best!!

John and Katie did a fantastic job on our wedding day. Leading up to the event John was very responsive and helped us make any decisions needed. They had a ton of songs to choose from and also said they would play songs that weren’t on their list. Both were excellent musicians and played lovely music during our ceremony. Thank You!!

A breath of fresh air

J & K strings were responsive professional and organized. Easy to work with and very friendly.
They showed up early and made our ceremony and cocktail hour so enjoyable! Guests are still complimenting them.
