Wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music

Live Oak Strings were a wonderful addition to both our ceremony and cocktail hour. We had the string duo play for the ceremony and the jazz trio play for our cocktail hour. They have an extensive repertoire of songs they can play. We handpicked a couple songs for the ceremony, but otherwise wanted them to pick songs that they felt would be fitting for the ceremony and it was perfect! The jazz trio also set the perfect tone for cocktail hour. Highly recommend!

Best Ceremony Strings!

We were absolutely thrilled with the performance of Live Oak Trio at our wedding. Their music added a touch of elegance and sophistication to our special day, making it truly unforgettable. They worked with my Aunt, who sang live during the ceremony and it was truly perfection. Here’s why we highly recommend them:

Musical Excellence: The trio's performance was nothing short of exceptional. Their repertoire was extensive, covering classical pieces, contemporary hits, and even special requests we had. Each piece was played with such finesse and emotion, it felt like a private concert. The music beautifully complemented our ceremony and reception, creating a magical atmosphere.

Professionalism: From our initial contact to the final performance, Live Oak Strings was the epitome of professionalism. They were prompt in their communications, clearly outlining their services and pricing. On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to set up and ensure everything was in place, which put us at ease.

Customization: One of the highlights of working with Live Oaks was their willingness to accommodate our specific needs and preferences. We had a few unique song requests, and they arranged and performed them flawlessly. Their flexibility in tailoring the music to fit different moments of our wedding—such as the procession, signing of the register, and cocktail hour—was greatly appreciated.

Presence: Beyond their musical talent, the trio also brought a charming and elegant presence to our event. Dressed impeccably, they added a visual element that matched the grace of their music. Their friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for being part of our celebration made a positive impression on us and our guests.

Value: The quality of music and the level of service provided by Live Oak Strings offered great value. We felt that their pricing was very reasonable considering the high standard of their performance and the personalized experience they delivered.

In conclusion, Live Oaks played a significant role in making our wedding day perfect. Their beautiful music and professional approach contributed to a memorable and enchanting atmosphere that we and our guests will cherish forever. If you are looking for a talented and reliable string trio for your wedding, Live Oak Trio is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!
