Fantastic performers!

Your group did a beautiful job with everything for our Christmas music service at my church. I am very pleased with the performance, and the strings made such a huge difference! I will definitely call on you again in the future!!

Amazing!! Highly recommend

Steve's performance at my daughter's wedding was truly exceptional. Despite the last-minute request and the distance he had to travel, he willingly accepted and went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable. His talent on the cello left our guests in awe, and I received countless compliments about how he set the perfect mood for the ceremony. It's worth mentioning that he even played in chilly 54-degree weather without hesitation. I highly recommend Steve for any event, and my only regret is that I won't be planning another wedding anytime soon. Thank you, Steve, for making my daughter's wedding so special for everyone in attendance.

Steve was wonderful!

Summit Strings was amazing - Steve was super helpful and easy to work with. They even learned a new song for me that I have always wanted for the bridal processional. I'm so grateful we were able to have them play at our wedding and cocktail hour. It was perfect!
