    Dolce Vita Strings was hired to play for my 50th Birthday Masquerade Ball. How awesome. My guests enjoyed having the violin played during cocktails. It was very different than what they are accustomed to and they cannot stop talking about it. Nadia was absolutely amazing. Not only in her performance, but also in her demeanor and making sure that the party was a success. I would hire them again without thinking twice.

    I hired Nadia to play the violin for my 50th birthday masquerade ball. She was amazing. She kept in touch with me prior to the event, was more than on time, very professional and extremely pleasant. She has a great personality and makes you feel extremely special. I would re-hire her without question.

    I had Nadia perform at my ceremony and it was amazing, I couldn't have chosen a better violinist! She kept in touch with me leading up to the wedding and coordinated with my DJ on the music. I would absolutely recommend Dolce Vita Strings - Nadia Khodakovska.

    Thank you,
    Josie

    I engaged the Dolce Vita Strings for a surprise 50th Anniversary party of about 25 people in a private function room at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, New York City. The group's performance was exceptional and very professional. I had requested that the group perform a combination of classical and Broadway music in different musical sets over the course of a 4 hours. They played during an initial reception and during after dinner. We had another musical group, a group of three tenors, which also performed in between the sets performed by the Dolce Vita Strings. The string quartet was very flexible and a joy to work with. Nadia, the group's leader, helped ensure that our evening was very memorable. I'd definitely engage Dolce Vita Strings again. You can't go wrong with this great string quartet.

    Dolce Vita Strings was amazing! I am so glad to have worked with Nadia. I first heard them at a friend's wedding and loved the take on contemporary music on the strings. Very beautiful. I knew I wanted them to be a part of the special day for the ceremony and cocktail reception. My husband and I gave her a list of songs from their repertoire (very good and diverse list). I also thought they were very affordable given the quality of the musicians. Best part of it all? All of my guests enjoyed hearing Coldplay and U2 during cocktail hour! Thank you Nadia and Dolce Vita Strings, brava!

    During the planning of my wedding I had originally hired a different string vendor, however as it became closer to my wedding day the original vendor could not get what was promised to me. I was lucky enough to be able to book with Dolce Vita Strings so close to my wedding which was in June and is a very busy time for the wedding season. I do believe this had to happen for a reason because the music was relaxing, flawless, and beautiful. I had so many compliments from the guest at my wedding. I would recommend Dolce Vita Strings to anyone going for a classic and timeless look and feel to their wedding. Thank you again !!!

    Nadiia was a key element to our Central Park wedding, and we often look back on our day and remember how special we felt to have such a truly talented musician play for us. Nadiia was not only punctual, but she was very patient in waiting for our wedding party to arrive due to traffic. Our family members still talk about the beautiful violinist who truly made our wedding magical. Thank you so much!!

    Dolce Vita Strings's reply:

    Thank you, Ashley. I'm honored you have chosen me to play for this most memorable moment of your life.

    I asked Nadiia to perform at our wedding and she was absolutely fantastic. Nadiia is a very very talented violinist. She also worked with us from the beginning, allowed us to choose our favorite classics albeit she has a wider selection, she and her cellist set themselves up before our ceremony started and absolutely nailed it. I can not thank her enough for being a part of our wedding. If I conduct an event, I would definitely ask Nadiia again.

    Dolce Vita Strings performed during our
    ceremony and cocktail hour and they were great. They had a wide variety of music to choose from and also fit into our budget nicely. Would highly recommend.

    Dolce Vita Strings were perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better engagement/proposal night and the background music that they provided was certainly the best part! I gave them specific directions to be in the hotel room outside on the balcony facing the door and to have the music playing as we entered the room and they did not miss a beat. Their selection of music was great! It even started to rain and they still continued to finish the song before we all decided to go inside! I would highly recommend them for any event that you are planning. From a simple proposal setup to cocktail hour music to wedding musicians Dolce Vita Strings will make your event a classy affair!

    This is my second time working with Nadia, and we were thrilled to have her and the group at an event with us again. The music was superb, and they worked with us to play outside during the ceremony despite the cold. They are very professional, friendly and enhanced the event.

    Working with Dolce Vita was very easy and convenient. Extremely accomodating, flexible, understood our vision for the party and made appropriate music suggestions. They were responsive and professional. I would highly recommend them.

    These ladies were amazing!! I gave them almost no guidance (just asked them to play certain songs while we were walking down the aisle) and they played beautifully. They were not scheduled to play during cocktail hour (because I didn't think there would be time), but my ceremony ended earlier than expected, so they just set up shop on a couch and continued playing!! I received numerous compliments on how great they sounded and how fun it was to hear modern songs being played by a string trio. Thanks so much!

    Dear Reader! The date of service was actually October 1, 2011 and I totally forgot to leave a review!

    Nadia and her peers were hired by my spouse and I after reading many incredible reviews and after much research on them! They were kind enough to travel to the Berkshires of Massachusetts to accommodate our needs and they were nothing less than SUPERB!

    My wedding was an intimate setting on an Estate with ELEGANCE as the theme and they followed through!

    They also linked up to our hired Soprano and practiced in the city prior to the wedding.

    I recommend Dolce Vita Strings to anyone who wants a perfect experience, stress free, knowing that everything will be fine. I'm a perfectionist so there was a very high standard that was met!

    In closing - you get what you pay for. Music above all, makes the event - everything else is secondary!

    Dolce Vita String was amazing! My sister and I both hired them for our weddings this year and we were so happy. They were professional, reliable and most of all, amazing musicians. They provided such beautiful music at our wedding. Thank you for making our wedding memorable!

    With all of the quartets and string ensembles to choose from in NYC, I was fortunate enough to have a friend recommend Dolce Vita strings. Uber professional in every way and aspect imaginable. Nadia was super easy in contracting every decision and request I needed. Lastly, they are the at the top of they're game musically. They're performances are of the utmost caliber. I've been to a thousand events where the strings ensembles were mediocre(I'm a musician as well and hate hearing music being played by out of tune strings), not Dolce Vita. They are the best of the best and an excellent value for their cost. I highly recommend them with full confidence that will make any event they play, extra special.

    Dolce Vita Strings's reply:

    Andrei, thank you for your kind words. You and your wife were the rock stars! And you guests were super cheerful too. It was fun playing at your wedding! Thank you for having us.

    Dolce Vita Dtrings were excellent at arranging the music with us and always very responsive and kind. They sounded beautiful in the church and played all of our requested songs. They also played our cocktail hour which was great. They were dressed very nicely and were punctual for everything. Great choice for a wedding or any event where you want to have a beautiful performance of talented musicians.

    Nadia and Dolce Vita Strings were wonderful!
    They were a pleasure to deal with; professional and friendly.
    As musicians, their playing was of the highest caliber. The biggest thrill (and surprise) for me was my bride singing to me at the ceremony accompanied by the strings. One of the most beautiful moments in my life. They took the time to rehearse with my wife before the wedding. We are eternally grateful. Both my wife Andrea and I highly recommend them!

    Dolce Vita Strings's reply:

    Dear Jeff,
    Thank you so much for the great review and your kind words. It was very a delightful ceremony. I very we'll remember looking at Andrea while acompanying her singing. I was nervous she would have tears, because that moment was so touching that I could barely hold mine. It was incredible. Thank you for making us part of your most memorable moment.

    Excellent musicians! Dolce Vita Strings did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. An added bonus was that the musicians were all very nice looking and dressed very well. Can't ask for more.
