    Professional, responsive, and easy to work with!

    We hired a string duo and DJ Gino through Save The Date and could not have been happier! Kitty was super clear and responsive to all emails and questions and the musicians were professional and so talented. I am a big Swiftie and they made sure to incorporate her music into our ceremony and cocktail hour. DJ Gino was also wonderful! We had a few phone calls with him before the big day to go over our favorite songs and discuss the timeline. On the day, he was personable and helped get everyone on the dance floor. I cannot recommend this company enough!

    We love DJ Gino

    We hired DJ Gino from Save the Date to play ceremony and reception music and he was wonderful! Hilarious and personable while we planned over the phone, and he was wonderfully accommodating to our very specific musical tastes while still being able to read the crowd and match the music to the energy. All of our guests absolutely loved him and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    We are so glad you were pleased with our services and thank you so much for providing your feedback! We understand that the event was absolutely wonderful in every aspect. Best wishes for many, many happy years together!!

    Great experience

    We hired a violin/cello/guitar trio for our wedding ceremony and it was a perfect choice! They were very professional and communicative. They had a wide range of music selections to choose from, and their performance was so beautiful! Especially we all loved the bride entrance song “salut d'amour” by Elgar. Highly recommended!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind review, Dasom! The trio (and I) are so pleased that the music was such a good fit for you and I understand it was a particularly beautiful wedding in the Aboretum. We wish you every possible happiness in your married life!

    Save the Date Music is Great!!!

    We booked Save the Date Music as a string trio for my daughter's wedding.
    It was an outdoor ceremony at the Botanical Garden.
    We were delighted with the quality of their music. Kitty was great to work with, she played what we requested and filled
    the rest of the program with her own excellent selections.
    I highly recommend them!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thanks so much for the review! It was such a pleasure working with you and being a part of the beautiful event! Our very best to the newlyweds and family!

    Ceremony music

    We reached out to save the date for ceremony music only! They were on time and played very well! While we only hired a violin and cello, they have several combinations of professional players to choose from. They played beautifully and we got a ton of compliments on them! The coordinator who manages this group was super responsive and they are priced very reasonably compared to others! I highly recommend coming from a May 2022 bride and groom!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thanks so much for your review! It was a pleasure working with you from start to finish! I understand that your wedding was a beautiful event! We really appreciate you taking the time to post about the music and wish you tons of joy as you go forward as newlyweds!

    Wonderful Trio

    We hired a trio from Save the Date Music to play during our pre-ceremony cocktail hour and during our ceremony and we are very glad we did! Their repertoire was extensive and we had plenty of songs to select from. They were prompt, professional and very talented. Their music was beautiful and we are so glad they were part of our big day. Thank you, Dave!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thanks so much for your review, Katya! The trio was delighted to be a part of your special day and it was wonderful to work with you. All best wishes and blessings for a long and happy union!

    DJ Gino!!!!!

    DJ Gino was fantastic!!! We had a few calls with him before the event...DJ Gino made sure that everything was spot on and was also very responsive with our coordinator to make sure our timelines matched up perfectly. We also got serval compliments from our guests (of different age ranges) regard how good the music selection was. We may have had only 40 songs request ahead of time and the rest was improvised by Gino...perfect shuffle! Special notes...Gino also came prepared with a whistle, triangle, and cowboy. He made the dancing portion of the night super fun!!

    Great ceremony musicians and DJ!

    We used Save the Date to hire both our ceremony musicians and DJ, which made things so easy! For our ceremony and cocktail hour, we worked with Chris Royce and had a guitar and violin. They played a variety of classic and contemporary songs. For our reception, we worked with DJ Gino. I told Gino that our goal was to get people on the dance floor, and he totally excelled! He played the perfect mix of tunes for our crowd. I highly recommend Save the Date for your wedding music needs!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thanks for your kind review. Our musicians and DJ loved being part of your special day! Everything was lovely, and we really loved seeing the fantastic photos shared by your photo/video team that really captured the beauty and spirit of your wedding!

    Beautiful Ceremony Music

    Due to COVID restrictions, we had to move our wedding ceremony a few months prior to our wedding date and were scrambling to find a string quartet. I reached out to Kitty at Save the Date Music and thankfully she had a quartet available! I am so happy I booked them! Kitty was very easy to work with and was quick to respond. Their performance was beautiful and I received many compliments about them!

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thank you for this review, Elin! It was such a pleasure to work with you and to share in the beautiful experience you created last week. The comments of some of your guests to us about the music was truly heartwarming. Wishing you many years of love and happiness!

    So talented and so flexible

    I hired Kitty to place at our ceremony and reception months before our wedding. She is quick to respond, organized, and helpful with anything you need. When COVID hit, we had to change our reception location and Kitty willingly set up the musicians to travel with us. Totally unheard of! So thankful we hired them. They know so many. Massive songs and modern songs. Their music is beautiful and was the classiest addition for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind review, Katie! You all created such a special and memorable occasion and were blessed with a gorgeous day and the obvious love and care of your family and friends. We were honored to be a part of such a beautiful event and wish you both every possible happiness!

    Cellist Ariana is Excellent

    We hired Ariana Dewar Macmillan with Save the Date Music to play as a cello soloist for our small wedding ceremony. She was wonderful and so easy to work with. She met with us to plan things out and recommended songs when didn't know what to chose, she also took the time to learn a new song on pretty short notice. She played beautifully during the ceremony. I can't recommend enough! I'm sure the whole group is just as good.

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    On behalf of Ariana (and Save the Date Music), thanks so much for your review and kind words! We are so glad Ariana could be a special part of your day in these unusual times! Sending all best wishes for a marriage full of happiness and fulfillment.

    Traditional and Modern Music

    We hired the string trio (violin/viola/cello) from Save the Date Music for our wedding ceremony. Kitty was very easy to work with and provided us with a wide-range of song selections to choose from. We selected a mix of both traditional and modern songs, which they seamlessly weaved together. Our guests enjoyed the music – especially when they recognized “All You Need Is Love” by the Beatles as our recessional!

    Very good experience

    We used Save the Date Music for my daughter's recent wedding and were very pleased. The violinist they provided was able to fill in for a 20-minute delay in starting the ceremony (transportation issues) and was very professional. DJ Gino was AMAZING - he was able to accurately read the crowd and make his set fit the flow of the guests and the flow of the party. He was also good in not making the music about himself, like so many DJs do. We really enjoyed his added percussion, too!

    Beautiful and elegant

    Save the Date was wonderful to have at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I had a few odd requests to play and they rose to the challenge and it was great! The owner Katherine was so sweet and always got back to me immediately with any answers to my questions. They were very reasonably priced for what we were asking them to do, and it was wonderful music! If you want some fun, mixed with elegance please book them, you can choose any kind of music!

    Thanks for your kind words, Rebecca! It was a perfect day, a beautiful ceremony and memorable experience! It was such a pleasure to work with you and we wish you every happiness!!

    Beautiful Music

    Save The Date Music supplied an incredible string quartet that played absolutely beautiful music. The live music added even more elegance to our outdoor venue. We did a lot of research for songs that Kitty made sure the team had including the song prior to our prelude.

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Such a beautiful wedding, Morgan! We so enjoyed working with you to ensure that you had any and all music that would make your special day all the more memorable. All our best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!

    Highly recommend Save the Date Music and DJ Gino

    I am the kind of bride who puts a lot of time and effort into researching each and every vendor till I find a perfect match. I rank my wedding vendors in an excel spreadsheet and Save The Date Music was my number one choice in the Music category. We had a quartet led by Kitty for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and DJ Gino at our wedding reception. Both Kitty and Gino were very responsive throughout the planning process and answered our many questions. They were punctual and professional. The quartet played beautifully while DJ Gino did such a great job with the song selection and got everyone out on the dance floor. We were very pleased with the quartet and DJ Gino and we really appreciate all of their help on our big day.

    Thanks so much for making our daughter's wedding this past Saturday over the top magical! I didn't get a chance to tell you personally, but your music was beautiful and everything we hoped for!! Thank you again from The McLambs

    Sentimental ceremony with "our" song

    "Our" song is that old 70's jam Come and Get Your Love by Redbone...a little too poppy to be our first dance song but I knew I had to incorporate it. When we found Save the Date, Katherine gave us amazing suggestions for bringing this to life as well as what logistically will be the best size/instruments for our venue (outdoors), number of guests, and instruments for the song itself. We had a guitar and violin duo who played the song not only for the bridal party, but after an appropriate pause, for my walk down the aisle as well (as I requested!). They arrived an hour before ceremony to be set up and prepared to play the 30 minutes prior as guests arrived in a series of recognizable/more modern songs. It was everything I dreamed of and Jon loved hearing our song for the ceremony (it was a surprise for him!)

    Absolutely amazing!! We had a string trio and DJ Gino at our wedding. The music was perfect. Kitty went out of her way to play every song we requested for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The trio even learned a song for us with no extra charge! Save The Date music was so affordable. DJ Gino was so kind and was in contact with us several times throughout the planning process. We would definitely use them again.

    Save The Date Music's reply:

    Matt and Rachel, thank you for the kind words! We were thrilled to be a part of your ceremony and thoroughly enjoyed providing the music and in particular the special requests for Dearly Beloved, the Star Wars Theme and Beauty and the Beast Theme! It was truly a wonderful event. We hope to have more opportunities to play at Cross and Main. Warm regards and hearty re-congratulations!

    Save The Date Music chose the perfect ensemble for the wedding at which I recently officiated. It was an outdoor venue by a lake. The bride wanted a classical group who could also play modern and show tunes. The groom’s sister sang a solo during the ceremony. The Save The Date trio came early to practice with her and it all came off without a hitch. It was a pleasure to work with professionals who put their heart as well as their talent into what they do. Great communication and a lovely presentation. Looking forward to working with them again.

    Very professional and extremely talented. I would recommend to anyone looking for a string trio for their wedding. Extensive selection of songs and very flexible to learn something off of their list.
