About
Caprice Strings melds the beautiful melodies and harmonies of violin, viola, and cello for your special event. Caprice Strings is a locally owned boutique wedding music ensemble based in San Diego, California. We play for weddings and other special events throughout Southern California, including San Diego, La Jolla, Del Mar, and Temecula. With almost 40 years of experience playing across San Diego County at wedding ceremonies and receptions, we have entertained and delighted thousands of patrons, and their guests.
Caprice Strings performs extensively as a string trio, but can easily form a string duo or quartet. Solo violin is also an option for more intimate gatherings. We are professional and highly trained classical musicians who play across San Diego and Orange County. Our musical styles range from traditional classical, popular standards, to songs currently on the radio. In one weekend, Caprice Strings can be found playing on the lawn at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, the chapel at Fairmont Grand Del Mar, and the courtyard at The Prado. We have performed at virtually every major hotel in the San Diego area. Consider us for preludes, ceremonies, cocktails, rehearsal dinners, receptions, gala events, birthday parties, or celebration breakfasts.
Caprice Strings is dedicated to creating exactly what you need, and helping your event run as smoothly as possible along the way. For this reason, Victoria will be glad to assist you by email or over the phone with not only your music needs, but the rest of your event as well. Having played thousands of weddings and other occasions, ranging from traditional to the most unusual and original, Victoria is happy to share the insider tips she has picked up on the way.
Caprice plays in a wide variety of venues from yachts, wineries, private residences, to stunning hotels. We are pleased to play in just about any location you desire!
Caprice plays musical engagements ranging from solo violin to larger chamber orchestras. Our most requested ensemble is a string trio, comprised of violin, viola, and cello. This perfect combination allows the melody of the violin to soar above, viola fills in the harmony, and the deep bass lines of the cello centers the group. Caprice Strings plays many special string trio popular arrangements exclusively commissioned for us by our wonderful popular music arranger.
Solo: Violin, Cello
Duo: Violin-Cello
Trio: Violin-Viola-Cello
Quartet: Violin-Violin-Viola-Cello
Quintet: Violin-Violin-Viola-Cello-Double Bass
Chamber Ensembles of mixed instruments for special events
Caprice Strings has been performing special events and weddings in Southern California for almost 40 years, and we rarely have special music requests in which we cannot find. If you would like a specific song that you do not see on our song list, it is very possible we have it! We can purchase new popular sheet music for a nominal cost, or have special arrangements made by our talented arranger Jeff, for an additional cost.

Reviews of Caprice Strings
Professional Network & Endorsements
I had the pleasure of working with Caprice Strings this past weekend. Francesca was great to work with - before the event, she was quick to respond through email and we worked together to make sure that the timeline for the ceremony was right. To ensure the best performance, she made sure that the trio arrived on time to set up and to hold a practice with the Father of the Groom who was going to perform a song with them. On the day of the event, the trio provided beautiful melodies as the guests started to arrive. They were professional and very talented. Francesca and her team are all so sweet and friendly, truly a pleasure to work with!
