A Note from Ariana
Don't know where to start? Don't worry! I go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect and exactly as you've imagined.
When you book Ariana Strings, I'll be your one and only coordinator and help you every step of the way. Over the years, I have fine-tuned my way of organizing all the details and helping my couples plan.
I make your planning fun and easy. I'll incorporate your style preferences and personality so our sound fits in with your overall wedding vision.
Behind the scenes, I also work closely with your vendor team, so everything will be perfectly in place for your wedding day.
All the Hits from 1645 to Today
Our 1000+ song library is filled with classical music favorites, modern pop songs, classic rock, Disney, Broadway, jazz, and more. When we play Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" and The Beatles "Here Comes the Sun," you're hearing music that was tailored especially for strings. That means you're getting a beautiful instrumental cover that truly compliments the original song and artist.
Like Vitamin String Quartet, we perform modern pop string quartet covers of your favorite music and, yes, we definitely have Bridgerton!

Testimonials
"Hiring Ariana Strings was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! She was professional and prompt from day one. She made music suggestions for our big day and we're so happy we listened to her expert advice. She is a true professional and knows her stuff! We wanted a truly magical moment as guests arrived to our historic venue and Ariana Strings made that happen with beautiful string music as soon as guests walked in. The guests were raving about the strings and how romantic and magical it made the day. Hiring Ariana Strings was one of the best decisions we made for our big day!"
- Jack, Groom
"Ariana is by far the sweetest person I worked with throughout my entire wedding. She really got to know Greg and I before the big day, and got a feel for exactly what we wanted/expected. I can't imagine how hard it is timing live songs with a ceremony... but Ariana and the trio KILLED it. We had about 30 people come up to us saying how beautiful their performance was. They were absolute perfection and made me the happiest bride!"
- Alyssa, Bride
