Beautiful & Personalized Ceremony

We had an awesome experience with Adagio Strings! Matt was super responsive and helpful when we were inquiring about pricing and what they offer -- we were so excited to book. Our guests were complimenting how well the music set the tone for the day and how they loved arriving early to sit and listen to the prelude! The songs we chose for the ceremony were personalized and made the whole thing feel so special, and we were so excited they were able to provide a custom arrangement for our recessional. Thank you Matt and Emily! :)

Adagio Strings made our outdoor ceremony perfect!

Emily and Matt were amazing right from the start of the wedding planning process. They helped us pick our songs to create the most beautiful outdoor ceremony that truly reflected us as a couple. Adagio Strings was definitely a highlight of our wedding day and our guests were impressed with their talent and professionalism. We highly recommend!

The Absolute Best!

Both of them were amazing! We had them play pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour music and all of our guests couldn't stop raving about how great they were! Matt was easy to communicate with, adaptable and professional. They both contributed to such a beautiful atmosphere for our entire wedding.

We can't recommend Adagio enough!

We are so privileged to have had Adagio Strings play breathtaking music at our wedding. The duo delighted our guests by playing lovely string renditions of romantic songs at both our ceremony and cocktail hour. They even learned a custom song near and dear to my family’s hearts, an Italian classic.

We highly recommend Adagio for your wedding team – they were professional, responsive, and offered much advice to help us prepare for the big day. Thank you again for making our dream a reality!

Bridgerton Vibes!

Matt and Emily just played for our wedding ceremony this past weekend. They did an incredible job and the guests were raving about the music all evening! We were told that they gave off "Bridgerton vibes" which we thought was an awesome comment. Thank you two so much for the lovely music and making the ceremony go so smoothly despite the weather changes throughout!

Wonderful addition to our wedding!

I am so happy that we decided to have live music during both our ceremony and our cocktail reception. It truly was a very special touch. Matt was wonderful to deal with and made the entire planning process very easy! The personalization of our recessional song was very sentimental. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job. We would not have had it any other way.

The best soundtrack to our wedding

Matt and Emily are amazing! They are very skilled, and provided beautiful music for our ceremony and first dance. We weren't planning on having live music at our wedding, but I am so glad we did! They truly made our day even more magical - and having them play 'Symphony - Clean Bandit' for our first dance was so special.
They were also very easy to talk/plan with and were punctual and amazing!
Thank you so much!!

Incredible musicians made our ceremony magical!

Matt and Emily made our day extra special. This extremely talented couple were a pleasure to work with. Easy to communicate with timely replies. Our date was changed three times and they moved along with us each step of the way.
Their music blended beautifully with our day, and the special song request was delivered perfectly. Our guests loved the music Adagio Strings brought to our day, and were dazzled by their incredible talent.
If you are looking to add a special touch to your day I would highly recommend you consider Adagio Strings.
