Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Music
My husband and I hired Mari for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. Leading up to the wedding day, Mari was very responsive, knowledgeable, kind and flexible. She answered our numerous questions and coordinated getting another musician (harpist Keri Zwicker), who was fantastic as well. The wedding day music was so dreamy and was done professionally. Our guests absolutely loved Mari and Keri and we got numerous compliments on the live music!

Wonderful music & person!
Mari is extremely talented and easy to work with. She provided music for my ceremony, and it added so much to my wedding. She learned about 4 songs for my ceremony, and it turned out so well. A lot of my guests commented on the music. I would highly recommend her for a wedding or any event!

Absolutely Beautiful!!
Mari was absolutely perfect! I knew I wanted live music for my ceremony from the get go and went through several different musicians with different instruments and all sorts of information but Mari stood out right away! Her work was incredible, she had so many options, and her prices were well within our budget! She was so patient and kind when I admitted I didn’t know how a Cello would sound alone and went through all the options she had, sending examples as needed! The music was absolutely beautiful and such an amazing addition to the day and really elevated the entire ceremony from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend her over and over again and loved being able to have such beautiful live music for our ceremony!

Beautiful Music
3Sisters was amazing for our wedding. They were prompt and professional answering questions during our planning stage and were our easiest vendor to work with. The day of our wedding they provided the most beautiful music. We got so many compliments from our guests who very much enjoyed the entertainment provided. We can’t thank them enough for helping to make our day special!

Played beautifully!
The professionalism of the three sisters was impeccable! We had to change the dates and times a couple times due to some planning problems on my end and Mari was so quick to respond and help. Unfortunately she was unable to play on the revised date but her sister Ina played instead and it was so amazing! It made our engagement party that much better and we received so many compliments. I highly recommend this group for any party or even that you have. You will not regret it!!

Incredible Value & Beautiful Music
Wow, I really can't say enough positive things about Mari from the 3 Sisters Trio. She was the only musician at our wedding in August 2023, and she was so professional, kind, and accommodating! After pricing out several cellists in the Bow Valley, she was by far the best value, and even did a beautiful job of adapting my husband's favorite electronic song to cello as a surprise for him. 10/10 would recommend to anyone :D
