"Nevin Dawson is awesome. Hugely talented, versatile, charismatic yet humble. Our wedding ceremony featured Celtic harp, viola, guitar and piano. Nevin was brilliant during his solos and equally riveting when accompanying the other musicians. Afterwards he serenaded us on viola and violin throughout the reception. He's a true professional with a big heart and soul."
- JoAnn Fairchild & James Wood

"Nevin and Betsy are AMAZING! Extremely flexible and responsive, Nevin was awesome at accommodating us on our big day. They learned the music from the movie "Up" for us and it was beautiful. All of our guests raved about them! Thanks so much for contributing to such an awesome day!"
- Ashley Duckman, Bride

"I just wanted to thank you and the ladies for your beautiful music at Kara and Derek's wedding. It was absolutely wonderful! Everyone enjoyed your playing and it was just so special to have you with us at the wedding and reception. As I was talking to people at the cocktail hour, I would catch one of your tunes and think how different it was to hear pop from a string ensemble!! Very impressive! Everything was just beautiful. I know Kara was so pleased as she has always wanted strings to play at her wedding and she got her wish! A pleasure working with you!!"
- Diane Nave, Mother of the Bride

Viola and violin lessons are also available.

Nevin and his incredible musicians created the perfect environment for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! They had so many amazing musical selections (both classical and pop), were very helpful in offering advice, and so responsive throughout our planning of the big day.

Nevin was fantastic at really figuring out what I wanted for the processional, seating music, recessional and cocktail hour. He had a wonder pianist with him as well and together they really made our wedding super classy! Would recommend to anyone!
