Kind words from our lovely couples!
"I feel extremely lucky to have found Kate to perform our wedding ceremony music. She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Kate was very informative and willing to help me plan out music for each part of our ceremony. She was very open to my ideas and offered her opinions which I really appreciated. Wedding planning can be so stressful and having someone like Kate to work with really helped ease my mind. She was easily my favorite vendor! We received so many compliments on the ceremony music and I could not stop singing her praises." |

"Katherine and her team were amazing! I had emailed them in a bit of a panic about a week or two before my wedding and they responded immediately. Booking the Melodious Strings Quartet for my wedding ceremony ended up being one of the most stress free things of my wedding. I was able to plan each piece of my ceremony, as they have a huge selection to choose from, and Katherine was very on top of things. Having them play as our guests arrived and during the processional and recessional really added something special- I would definitely recommend them!"
-Elizabeth, bride at Boathouse at Rocketts Landing in Richmond, Virginia
"We chose Melodious Strings for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in Mcgaheysville, VA at The Columns at Six Penny Farm on June 4th, 2017. Kate is great to work with and makes the entire process simple. Their set list is better than any other in the area and we got so many compliments on her and Michael's violin duet performance at the ceremony and again during the cocktail hour outside on the patio. If you really want to wow your guests with amazing outdoor ceremony, you've gotta have live music and Melodious Strings is an unbeatable value. They are very experienced and very professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Blue Ridge Mountains."
-Craig, groom at The Columns at Six Penny Farm in Mcgaheysville, Virginia
"Professional and talented. Flawless and beautiful.
Will call on them again."

"Melodious Strings is a wonderful ensemble and perfect for your wedding! In fact, I had requested that they play my all time favorite song from Amelie - and even though it was originally composed for piano, they arranged that piece for violin and cello! Highly recommended!!!" |

"The quartet with Melodious Strings performed a wonderful top-notch job for our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception. They were extremely professional in their performance and could adjust on the fly to the flow of the wedding ceremony itself. We are very pleased with their service and recommend highly."
-James Reinhold, groom at Big Spring Farm
