From a music snob, don't hesitate to hire these ladies!

We got married in October 2023. My husband is an excellent saxophonist and I have over 15 years experience of opera training and a lifetime of classical music exposure, so from the get-go, music was an important aspect of our wedding.

The Soenen Sisters were a recommended vendor from our venue, Cranberry Creek Gardens. They were lovely, professional, and helpful from the planning process as well as the day of. They graciously accommodated a song request from a Korean drama OST for my walk down the aisle with my father and offered a variety of repertoire to choose from.

The music performed for the prelude, the processional, the congregational hymns, the signing, and the recessional was absolutely stunning.

Side note - it was quite cold the day of our outdoor wedding ceremony that it was hard to keep their fingers warm, but by the way they sounded, you wouldn't be able to tell and we did not hear a single complaint either. Truly consummate professionals!

We were truly blessed to have The Soenen Sisters be a part of our special day. They were such a highlight in our wedding ceremony and exceeded our expectations! Thank you ladies.

Julie was amazing Cello player for our cocktail hour!

Thank you so much again Julie for your beautiful cello music! The guests absolutely loved it and it was such a great addition to our cocktail hour! I would highly recommend you at any event!!
Thank you for being so responsive and taking us in just a few days before our wedding too! It was so last minute and you were still willing to play for us! We appreciated that so much!

Hopefully next time we can hear the trio play one day, we've seen some videos and you are all so talented! Keep up the amazing work!!

A wonderous group to have for any event!

Absolutely remarkable experience with them at our wedding. From the beginning of communication up until the day of, they were just a great group to work with. They were able to find all of the music that we wanted to have played and worked with us every step of the way. They even fostered our daughters love of music and taught her a few songs and allowed her to play. If you do not go with The Soenen Sisters for your event you are missing out!

The best addition to our wedding ceremony!

Julie and Rose played the harp and cello at our wedding in June and it was absolutely everything I imagined and more! The guests loved the live music and it made the ceremony feel that much more special and intimate. I would HIGHLY recommend adding these lovely ladies as part of your special day! They are extremely talented and a joy to work with!

Amazing!! I can’t say enough lovely things

I’ll admit, I was a needy bride when it came to the music! They were amazing with getting back to my many emails, they were able to reschedule when we changed our wedding plans to a completely different date, they worked with me on a song that we couldn’t find sheet music to (so they had to become imaginative with a bare bones version of the sheet music), they played the songs I had chosen absolutely beautifully, and not to mention, they were so pleasant and lovely to speak with throughout the entire process!!!

Can’t recommend these ladies enough. If they aren’t already booked up (because they’re so amazing) then these are your gals!!

Pure Magic

We are thrilled with our experience with the Sonen Sisters as part of our November 2022 wedding. We hired Julie (Cello) and Rose (Harp) for our ceremony & cocktail hour at a downtown Toronto venue. Their communication was excellent, responsive and accommodating. They were able to incorporate all of our contemporary song requests for to be played including a Bright Eyes song and Bittersweet Symphony for the processionals. They took our event to the next level! We received so many compliments from our guests and it really added magic into the ceremony, exactly what we were hoping for.

Wonderful!

We were looking for string musicians to play our ceremony and it turned out even better than we could have dreamed! It was truly beautiful having the harp and violin play for our ceremony. With the help from Julie to choose our music and then when they played our dream song at special request it truly made our day even more special! Thank you so much for making our day so special!!

The best of the best!!

The Soenen Sisters Trio played for our wedding ceremony and dinner music for our reception. I couldn’t recommend them more!! Their music created this beautiful, magical atmosphere for our special day! As a musician myself, I couldn’t have been more impressed with with their incredible talent and professionalism! They played a wide variety of genres, at our request, and were happy to learn new songs too! They are the best of the best!

Simply Incredible!

I feel so lucky we were able to book these sisters! What an incredible team. We hired Julie and Lisa to play harp and cello at our wedding and we were blown away by their talent and the graceful and moving atmosphere they created with their instruments. They were also open to learning a niche song I requested from Studio Ghibli, and they played it so beautifully I was in awe. Many of our guests commented on how lovely their music was and it added such beauty to the ceremony. From the beginning they were great in communication and I will hire them again in the future when I have another big event in my life. I highly recommend them!
