Extremely talented!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Columbia River Strings at the Art of Weddings Venue Crawl and I cannot say enough great things about them. Everyone at the event was constantly remarking on how incredibly talented they are. They were amazing to work with and I would recommend them to anyone who needs music at their wedding.I recently had the pleasure of working with Columbia River Strings at the Art of Weddings Venue Crawl and I cannot say enough great things about them.

Fantastic musicians
These folks were wonderful! Booking was easy, their repertoire is vast, and their performance was just perfect. For a small fee they even learned a song that they didn’t already have in their options and we got the most beautiful performance we could ever dream for!These folks were wonderful!

Fantastic Experience with CRS
Columbia River Strings was an amazing vendor to work with. We used them for our pre-ceremony music and during cocktail hour. The booking process was easy and payment on their site was very straight forward. They have a wide selection of songs but were also able to add and learn two new songs that we wanted as well. For our songs to walk down they aisle, we had specific start and stop times and they were able to adapt very easily. We had a black tie optional event and they were dressed to match. They added an elegance to the day and were exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend to anyone needing string music.Columbia River Strings was an amazing vendor to work with.

Incredibly talented and professional
From the beginning, working with Columbia River Strings was wonderful. Rebecca helped us decide on a package, and always responded quickly and professionally to any questions we had leading up to booking. We unfortunately were running around too much to have gotten the chance to say hello to the musicians day of, but we got so many compliments on their playing and what we were able to hear of the prelude + the ceremony music was amazing. They also arranged a song for us, which came out beautifully. I would absolutely recommend Columbia River Strings to anybody seeking musicians for their wedding.From the beginning, working with Columbia River Strings was wonderful.

Lovely addition to our wedding!
Columbia River Strings was easy to work with and performed beautifully for our wedding ceremony. The site is a little confusing and you have to be the one to reach out to them to ask questions and make sure things are clear, but they respond quickly. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quartet for an event - they are reasonably priced, professional, and play very well!!!Columbia River Strings was easy to work with and performed beautifully for our wedding ceremony.

Highly recommend Columbia Strings Musicians
It was a pleasure working with Columbia Strings. Rebecca responded quickly to my emails and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We received lots compliments from family and friends attending our daughter's wedding on how much they enjoyed hearing live music as opposed to a DJ playing during the ceremony. The musicians added a touch of class to our event. Thank you.It was a pleasure working with Columbia Strings. Rebecca responded quickly to my emails and answered all our questions in a timely manner.

Like the movies
Columbia River Strings was the easiest decision we could have made. We had an outside garden wedding and having a quartet provided the perfect touch of class and magic to our big day. If youve ever seen a movie with a wedding where there was a quartet and you thought you might consider the option, id stop thinking about it now and book Columbia Rivers Strings right away!Columbia River Strings was the easiest decision we could have made.

Awesome Musicians and Easy Booking
I heard Columbia River Strings at a wedding venue crawl back in early 2020 and tracked them down when we decided to do an intimate outdoor ceremony in August. We hired a string duo (cellist and violinist) through Columbia River Strings and they sounded fantastic! It was very easy to book the musicians and was a good value. They had a variety of classical, pop, and jazz songs to pick from on their website to design our own playlist. We would definitely recommend using this company to friends and family!I heard Columbia River Strings at a wedding venue crawl back in early 2020 and tracked them down when we decided to do an intimate outdoor ceremony in August.

Perfect Addition to Our Wedding
Having this quartet at our ceremony and elopement brunch was absolutely beautiful. The quality of the musicians is unbeatable and the intake form for songs to prepare for our day was easy and very helpful. The musicians were professionally dressed and delivered a high quality ambiance. Working with the coordinator was a pleasure and they were flexible as our timeline changed slightly. I would definitely book with this group again, and hope to do so when we have our full wedding celebration next year!Having this quartet at our ceremony and elopement brunch was absolutely beautiful.

Classy wedding at Gray Gables Estate-String Quartet
I was a professional pianist playing high society gigs for 30+ years, so when my daughter was married, we wanted the very best, and knew what that meant in music. Excellent music makes or breaks your event, and Columbia River Strings are at the top of the game. I am quite a critic, and can tell you, they were perfection itself! Their “book” is broad offering all kinds of repertoire and the players are amazing. I expected to play 50% more for what we got.I was a professional pianist playing high society gigs for 30+ years, so when my daughter was married, we wanted the very best, and knew what that meant in music.

Absolutely Amazing!
These guys are literally THE BEST! Everyone absolutely loved them. They're extremely professional and very talented musicians. Beyond what we could have imagined and probably one of our favorite part of our wedding. They really turned the big day into a classy, traditional wedding all while playing songs we all knew and loved. Worth every penny.These guys are literally THE BEST! Everyone absolutely loved them.

Great musicians
Hired Columbia River Strings to play my sisters wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on September 28, 2019 at the . I provided music from my end and played guitar. I was happy how quickly and proficient the musicians were after 1 hour of rehearsal with the full group. Highly recommend the group. Chris was our lead musician and was excellent. I was blown away by their ability to improvise and jam along with our 4 chord guitar pop songs without sheet music in front of them. These guys play at a professional level. When I get married I will hire them again for my wedding ceremony. Highly recommended.Hired Columbia River Strings to play my sisters wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on September 28, 2019 at the .

August Wedding
Booking the Columbia River Strings quartet was one of the best decisions we made for our outdoor wedding. Our only regret is that we should have hired them for a longer session, as they were just fantastic! There’s a great variety of music to choose from and you can’t beat the price. From the beginning, it was apparent they have a very high level of professionalism and Rebecca had some very appreciated suggestions for us as this was our first time planning what scores we wanted to have played during the pre-ceremony. Columbia River Strings added a classy yet fun element to our wedding, and honestly we would look for any excuse to hire them again.Booking the Columbia River Strings quartet was one of the best decisions we made for our outdoor wedding.

Absolutely worth it!!
I am so glad I chose to have this string band come to our wedding. They were fantastic. They were very easy to book and pay for online, they showed up on time and dressed professionally. But best of all, they played BEAUTIFULLY! I had them play for the welcome 30 minutes before ceremony, the actual ceremony and then the cocktail hour after. They were seriously the best. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. My guests loved them and it was really a nice and intimate touch to the ceremony. I can't wait to get back the video of the wedding so I can hear them play again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!I am so glad I chose to have this string band come to our wedding. They were fantastic.

Great Choice for Our Special Day
As those planning a wedding know, during this high stress time it is extremely important to have open communication with your vendor and to feel confidence in their ability to deliver. Every correspondence was answered, and when the big day came the trio played beautifully. Their talent was such a sweet touch at our ceremony and greatly appreciated by us and our guests. I will never forget walking down the aisle to my now husband as the song I chose colored our memory. If you need timeless music and reliable professionalism, look no further.As those planning a wedding know, during this high stress time it is extremely important to have open communication with your vendor and to feel confidence in their ability to deliver.

Setting the Mood
These guys really set the mood and were one of the most talked about additions to the our wedding. Their play list was vast enough to cater to the old classical lovers as well as the young pop kids.These guys really set the mood and were one of the most talked about additions to the our wedding.

I could not be happier with the professionalism and talent that Columbia River Strings had to offer. From my very first email to the last song at our wedding I was blown away by the prompt responses, the answers to my silly questions, the talent of the musicians, and the available song selections. Columbia River Strings was able to arrange my husband and I's song so that I could walk down the isle to it and they completely set the tone for our intimate but elegant wedding. Our guests all commented on how amazing they were and were very excited to hear contemporary music mixed in with wedding classics. Skip the DJ and go with live music. I promise you will not be disappointed!I could not be happier with the professionalism and talent that Columbia River Strings had to offer.
