    Great music without much notice

    We contacted Vermilion with only a few weeks before the wedding. They were amazingly responsive and helpful. The list of available songs was great and the music in the courtyard was perfect.

    Joel Martinez - Violinist

    Joel Martinez was amazing at our wedding. He played for my ceremony and our first dance he did an instrumental version of our song. Not only was it everything I asked for, but more and working with him was a BREEZE. Anything I changed or asked for he accomplishes and accomplished. He was the easiest person to deal and the sweetest. BOOK HIM!

    Beautiful Ceremony Music

    The ceremony music played by Vermilion Strings was beautiful. We were able to find a good mix of classic string music and some pop renditions on their repertoire list that worked perfectly for our wedding. Working with them leading up the wedding, they were kind, efficient, and flexible.

    Magical, Memorable Music

    Vermilion Strings was over and above my expectations for our daughter's wedding. Lauren was so accommodating and easy to work with. The music suggestions they made to my daughter were spot on. So many guests commented on how beautiful the church music was.
    Thank you Vermilion Strings!

    Highly Recommend!

    Highly recommend Vermilion Strings! We had the violin and cello duo covering modern pop/romantic songs and it was a really special touch. They were very flexible and accommodating as plans continued to change and it was one of the highlights of the day. Thanks Vermilion Strings!

    Professional & Talented

    We hired Vermillion Strings a week before our wedding because the first company we hired was unresponsive. They were able to squeeze us in for a cello/ violin duet for our ceremony. They showed up on time, performed beautifully, and we received many compliments from our wedding guests.
    They were a lifesaver!! Thanks again!

    An absolute must for your wedding!

    I hired Vermillion Strings for my wedding back in August and am so happy I did. My husband and I knew we wanted live music for our reception, but wanted something simple and elegant for a dinner style reception. We looked into hiring a violinist or a cellist, but ultimately decided a cellist when we listened to samples from Vermillion’s website. We were able to choose from so many great options to have played during our reception and even could request a special song for our first dance. The music was so beautifully played as well! Looking back at videos from our reception, I’m so happy we decided to go with Vermillion Strings. All interactions I had with them were professional and our cellist the day of was so talented and sweet. I can’t thank her enough for the beautiful touch she added to our wedding.

    Vermilion Strings's reply:

    Kayla, thank you so much for the kind words and I'm so glad your reception turned out the way you envisioned. Best wishes in your married life!

    Dreams & Vision Became Reality

    Words can't express my boundless gratitude to Vermilion Strings. I married the love of my life on 12.31.19 in Jena, Louisiana (which was about 2 hours away from Lafayette, LA). When other company's said no to my event being NYE Vermilion Strings said yes without a doubt. No only did they perform on a holiday but also two hours away from their home base. Emma G with Vermilion Strings was a Godsend and was very easy to work with. She offered several ways to provide payment without me even have to leave my seat. They were even accommodating when I decided a month prior to the even to add an additional instrument. Vermilion Strings performers were prompt and very timely. Although I provided them with a time line of the ceremony events they filled in exactly when and where needed. They sounded angelic, magical, and whimsical. Vermilion Strings added a very elegant touch to my wedding day and made it truly a day that my husband and myself will remember and cherish forever. Vermilion Strings has been the talk of my small town event for nearly the past 2 weeks. I cannot thank Emma and Vermilion Strings enough and thank you for helping me bring my fairy tale wedding to reality.

    Great professionals to work with

    Great professional company to work with! I own a venue in Youngsville, La and Vermilion Strings is always my go to when booking my All Inclusive Weddings. We regularly hire these musicians because they are always professional, prompt and follow different agenda specifics we setup on timelines.

    They ask for just a few requirements in their contract and they are willing to follow any timeline; this makes it so easy to work with this group of musicians.

    Vermilion Strings's reply:

    Thank you for this lovely review, Sandra! We love working at Cajun Mansion with you. It's a lovely venue and the attention to detail is refreshing!

    High Quality Music and Professional Musicians

    As a classicly-trained violinist, music is extremely important to me. I wanted to ensure the music for my wedding was beautiful, and that is why I hired Vermillion Strings. From the beginning, Mrs. Lauren was prompt and professional with her replies. She helped me choose pieces that were both classic and unique. I had so many people compliment me on the music and ask who I hired. Looking back, my husband and I would not change one single thing. I highly recommend Vermillion strings to anyone who needs exceptional music and muscicians for an event.

    A dream to work with!

    Vermilion Strings not only played beautiful classical music at the start of our outdoor wedding ceremony — they also learned three custom songs (ranging from UGK to Dave Matthews Band) to play with precise timing during our processional and recessional! It was such a pleasure to work with them, and we were so excited to hear the custom performances come to life on our wedding day!
