We had Canterbury strings play for my wife and me at our wedding on May 11, 2024 and were very pleased! We primarily worked with them through our wedding planner. We greatly appreciated their communication, can-do attitude, and appropriate timetables in the run-up to the event. They already have a very broad repertoire of songs they can play, which is great to see. For our processional, my wife and I each selected songs that were not in their typical repertoire, but that was not a problem at all for Kate and her musicians. We gave them our desired songs in YouTube form, the cues for when we desired to come to the chuppah, and Canterbury made it happen. Our wedding party loved the touch of the particular processional songs being played by a string trio.
We had given Canterbury some music selections to play while guests were seated. But one group was late in arriving at the hotel. The trio was able to vamp and keep playing through that delay. They filled the time and were ready to play our requested music when all of our guests were seated. Everything they played sounded brilliant!

Beautiful music for intimate wedding
Canterbury Strings was a pleasure to work with. We booked them prior to changing our wedding into a family micro-wedding, and they were very accommodating with the change in plans and following social distancing guidelines. Kate is very responsive, gave excellent recommendations, and they have an extensive repertoire. Their music was beautiful and it made our intimate ceremony and family cocktail hour feel very special.
