    Amazing Experience

    Working with Lorel was great! She was very quick to respond with any questions, and helped with deciding what songs. Having her play at our beach wedding was amazing. All the guests loved having her there, and it was just the extra touch we needed to make our day even more special. Highly recommend working with Lorel!!

    Hire her! You will be so happy!

    Laurel is simply amazing. She quickly responded to my inquiry and was extremely easy to work with. I hired Laurel for my ceremony that took place at Wilde Memorial Chapel, which has no speaker system. She assured me that would be fine and it definitely was. She played beautiful music before, during and after my ceremony. My guests raved about her performance, it was beautiful! When I booked her (at an extremely fair price!) she sent a contract with a list of common tunes she plays. I went through the list and crossed out which ones I didn’t care for, but wasn’t sure how to put them together or which songs should be played when. She was so kind in giving me guidance on what would and wouldn’t “work”. What a pleasure to work with! Thank you so much Laurel, our wedding would not have been so great without you!!!! If you’re looking for a violinist for your wedding, she is the person you want!

    Lorel was amazing

    We cannot say enough positives about Laurel with North Light Strings. Our ceremony experienced a delay with the start time, she continued to play filling the wait time seamlessly. Family members approached her with requests and she accommodated in a professional and friendly manner. Our ceremony was everything we could have imagined and we could not picture it without Lorel.

    Thank you so much for being a special part of our wedding day.

    Love,
    AJ and Alicia

    Amazing experience with Lorel!

    We were so pleased to have Lorel play violin at our wedding ceremony at the Samoset Resort in Rockport. We had decided on this type of entertainment last minute and Lorel was so quick to respond and accommodating. Communication was great and her talents are unmatched. Pricing was also fair. We would love to have another event that we could invite her to. Highly recommended!

    Absolutely amazing!

    We were fortunate enough to have Lorel play at our wedding in Kennebunkport. Lorel was extremely professional and responsive from the start. Lorel was accommodating with our requests and the music was beautiful and exactly what we hoped for. I recommend Lorel to anyone looking for a violinist at their wedding.

    Great Violinist!!

    Lorel Nazzaro provided the music for our outdoor wedding at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. She is an excellent musician and a delightful, friendly person. Being from out of state our destination wedding could have gotten easily sidetracked, but Lorel was very thorough with her preparation (learning many new songs for us), prompt in all communications, very flexible by conforming to our needs as far as timing and location—all around a joy to work with. With her music she truly added more beauty to an already beautiful setting and ceremony.

    Excellent!

    It was wonderful working with Lorel for our wedding! She was helpful and responsive throughout the whole planning process, and she was able to accommodate us with no problem when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid. Lorel played for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and her music was absolutely perfect, just what we wanted! We would highly recommend Lorel to anyone looking for a wedding violinist!

    Daughters wedding

    Lorel was amazing! Responded promptly and with great ideas of music for my daughters wedding. I was worried that one violin wouldn’t be enough for the large church my daughters wedding was in. Lorel assured me that the acoustics in these older cathedrals would be enough to carry the sound. She was right. It’s was beautiful and classic. She also worked with a young girl that sang the Ava Maria and together the created the most beautiful music I had ever heard. People are still talking about it. Her prices are reasonable and she’s very flexible. I highly recommend her!!!!

    Lorel was wonderful

    Lorel really completed our perfect wedding ceremony. She was great to work with in advance, had a large selection of music including classical pieces and more modern songs, and even was able to learn our requested song, as it was not in her repertoire previously. Her music is absolutely beautiful, and our guests said she was a true compliment to the sentiment of our ceremony. I would hire Lorel again in a heartbeat -- you won't regret it! Thank you for everything!!

    Beautiful Ceremony, Smooth Planning

    Lorel and team were great in all elements of the process. We had a trio perform at our ceremony, and they did a fantastic job with the performance, timing, and logistics. They were able to be a bit flexible with songs despite already having a robust selection list, and the communication/planning was reliable along the way. It's hard to pick holes in the experience we had with the Northern Lights Strings group.

    I hired Northern Lights Strings for my son's wedding on August 11. The group handled the music for before and after the ceremony and the processionals in and out of the church. They then went from the church to the venue and performed while guests were arriving, before the DJ took over. The quartet was wonderful and added a touch of elegance to the wedding. Prior to the wedding, they were very responsive to my emails, and they were flexible. The quartet was well worth the money spent.

    Northern Lights Strings was wonderful to work with for my wedding. They were very flexible with the pieces I wanted to be played and were willing to learn a new one as well. Many of my guests commented on how nice the music was! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

    We hired Northern Lights Strings to play during our daughter's wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour that ensued. We were so very pleased with the wonderful performance and the quiet elegance of the talented musicians.
    Lorel Nazarro, as our contact person, was professional from day one. We were provided a brilliant repertoire from which to choose the music- it offered a nice blend of classical and contemporary selections. We were thoroughly touched by the melody and magic of the day, and it was our absolute pleasure to have the Northern Lights String trio make the beautiful Grey Havens Inn that much more special!

    Lorel was fantastic at getting right back to me and was so wonderful on our special day in Phippsburg. It was exactly what I had hoped for and I loved that we got to choose from music samples on their web site. The guests loved it and brought joyful tears to many! Thank you so much!

    Northern Lights Strings was just fabulous! They were great to work with in the planning and have a tremendous repertoire from which to choose. Their playing before and during our ceremony created the perfect feel for us and for our wonderful venue. They provided more beautiful music during the reception and were very much enjoyed by all our guests. I give them the highest recommendation.

    Lorel is a wonderful musician and very easy to work with! They were able to learn new selections that we gave them, and the performance was top notch. We were so appreciative of their flexibility when the weather became an issue for the ceremony...our special day would not have been what it was without the talent of Northern Lights Strings! Thank you, Lorel :))

    Lorel was a dream to work with from beginning to end. She easily figured out the mood of the wedding and helped make everything even better with her present and beautiful music.
    We would be happy to have Lorel come share her music at another event.

    We had Northern Lights play at our wedding at Blair Hill Inn in Greenville, Maine. They did an exceptional job. They are very talented and a pleasure to work with. We initially spoke over the phone about the job and their availability. We immediately received a sample CD with a beautiful variety of music. They normally play as a quartet, and we requested a Trio. A few of our choices were on the CD were recorded as a quartet and for some they were able to improvise for the trio. They were well organized and on time. Our only regret is that we wished we could have had them play longer. We very much enjoyed hearing them play. They did a spectacular job and made our special day even more perfect !!!

    Lorel was wonderful to deal with throughout the whole planning process. She made it very easy for us to choose the music we wanted by providing us with a CD sampler. The ceremony music was beautiful as was the background music they played during the cocktail reception. Their professionalism added to the beauty of the entire event.

    Northern Lights Strings played music for my wedding ceremony last month. While I don't remember much of my actual wedding ceremony, the glimpses that I do recall were filled with lovely string music, courtesy of Northern Lights. They have more options of music than the samples on their website, and Lorel was so accomodating and easy to work with in the planning process. A week after the wedding, she even wrote my mom a thank you note for the gratuity - I think our feelings of gratitude were mutual! I definitely recommend NLS for those brides looking around. These ladies are down to earth and know their craft.

    very nice group, played well, followed the program exactly as written. I would use them again if needed for another wedding. Wide selection of pieces to chose from and arrived on time and quietly left.
