So glad we had Penn Strings at our wedding!

We are so glad we had Penn Strings as part of our wedding day! Susanne was very responsive and answered all our questions leading up to the day, and picking out our playlist was so much fun. We had a string duet of violin and cello and Chris and Aggie were amazing! They added the perfect dreamy soundtrack to our beautiful day. We highly recommend them!

Beautiful music for our ceremony

We loved working with Penn Strings! They were very professional and the music was perfect for our ceremony. We loved that we could choose the music, ask for recommendations, and in some parts of the ceremony we chose to let the musicians decide what music to play. We think they did a great job with everything, and we would highly recommend!

Beautiful music and easy to work with

We had a great experience hiring Penn Strings to play during our pre-ceremony refreshments and cocktail hour. The guest commented on how beautiful the music was. Susanne was super responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.
