Unparalleled sound and professionalism. A+++

Sweetwater Strings gave a wonderful performance at our wedding. The music was amazing, and the selections plus overall sound were perfect. I'm not the only one who feels this way; my new wife, and countless guests, were also very, very pleased. Despite some last minute changes due to the weather, my wife and I enjoyed a perfect wedding due in large part to Sweetwater Strings. In addition to their beautiful sound, I can't say enough about their flexibility and professionalism. I hope to have another opportunity to hire them for future celebrations, and I strongly recommend them to anyone searching for impeccable performers.

Wonderful Music

We had their solo violinist play during the ceremony of our micro wedding. They were professional and easy to work with during booking--and also had great pricing. They were able to work with us for our specific song selections. The music was played beautifully and elevated our ceremony into an elegant experience.
