Fantastic string trio! They played our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was perfect! The music fit the feel, was at just the right volume that it provided beautiful ambiance and background. The musicians never missed a beat, there were minimal gaps between songs, no sour notes, it made our day special. Great musicians, an easy to work with company, who helped us keep on top of the schedule and requests to them, with multiple calls and communication initiated by Golden Scrolls. So easy to work with, we absolutely would go with them for another event -

We hired Golden Scroll Soloists to perform at our wedding and we could not be more happy with their performance and professionalism.
GSS has a very extensive and diverse repertoire to chose from (with links to sample performances!) so you can tailor your music selection to your liking depending upon the event. Their online library selection is full of great options from modern contemporary pieces to classical and everything in between. The day of our wedding, their music was beautifully done and performed to perfection. I mean, live music is always fun but we were simply blown away at the talent Kevin and his group have. We received many compliments during and after the event from our guests about how lovely their performance was; the sound quality was perfect and their execution was flawless. It made the day even more special and elegant.
If you are thinking about hiring a string trio/quartet, or honestly any live music for your event, I would 1000% recommend Golden Scroll Soloists. They are worth every penny, I promise - you will love them! I would give them 6/5 stars if I could, seriously.
They also often have concert performances and events of their own, so if you want to sample their live music before hiring them, or even just want a lovely date night, go see them in concert! You will have a blast! -

The team was fantastic! They were super communicative and easy to work with. Their music library is so diverse and has so many songs. This made choosing the must plays that much harder to decide on, however that is the best kind of struggle to have. We would totally use them again. Our guests have been raving about the quality of the songs played. Thanks again Kevin & team! -

When my wife and I saw the catalogue of music that Golden Scroll Soloists had available, I had a good feeling that they'd be flexible enough to handle the requests I had in mind. The truth is that, given the enormous song list they've got, I didn't have to make that many requests, but Kevin took up my requests eagerly all the same (by the way, he was extremely easy to work with and very accommodating). The end result was a rich, full sound that was even better than my wife and I had hoped for. GSS played our prelude, processional, recessional, and cocktail hour music. The air of luxury and sophistication that their music provided was a critical component of the overall vibe we were looking to accomplish, and GSS did it flawlessly. The music was at a perfect volume for our guest count and the space, too. GSS is comprised of real professionals and it shows, from Kevin to each individual musician. Without them our wedding would not have shone as brightly as it did.

Mackenzie L. Sent on 12/27/2023Exactly how I dreamed I would walk down the aisle...
First off, working with Golden Scroll Soloists was incredibly easy! Kevin was my point of contact, and he was always responsive and made the planning process simple with an online questionnaire and a planning phone call several weeks in advance of the wedding day. The library of songs that you can choose from is MASSIVE and spans so many different artists and genres. I thought that Golden Scroll Soloists was an incredible value for what they offered, especially after watching some of their videos and hearing how talented their musicians are. What I especially loved was that I had the option to pay a small additional fee for a custom string arrangement. My favorite Taylor Swift song, "This Love", has always reminded me of my the beginning of my relationship with my husband — 1989 came out the year that we met, so it holds a special place in my heart. I thought it would be a beautiful song to walk down the aisle to... I asked Kevin if they could do a custom arrangement, and he said yes. What he delivered was beyond my wildest dreams (heheheh). I could hear the quartet playing from where I was standing before the ceremony, and they sounded amazing. As I walked up and they began to play "This Love", I was so overcome with emotion. It was the perfect song to walk down the aisle to, and I cannot thank them enough for making this moment so special for us. The recessional song, "Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga, was also perfectly played and an amazing, uplifting way to end the ceremony. Though I sadly was not able to make it to much of the cocktail hour, all I heard were rave reviews from our guests. I am so happy to have worked with the Golden Scroll Soloists, who truly set a romantic tone for our wedding day! -

Lydia D. Sent on 12/11/2023Perfect Music!
Kevin and the Golden Scrolls team were so helpful to our wedding - having them as the ceremony music was fantastic and they made the whole thing personal to what music we wanted. We had a violin and a cello and picked out songs for different parts of the pre-party music, including a song that (for a nominal fee) they set up and learned for us!! Of course day of the wedding not everything goes to plan, and the ceremony was a little delayed - no problem they continued to play the backup songs we discussed and all worked out ! They were easy to communicate with and I was so happy we booked them (you will be too!). -

Christina D. Sent on 01/28/2024Amazing experience with Golden Scroll Soloists
Kevin and his team at Golden Scroll Soloists were amazing at our wedding on October 21, 2023!!! I had first heard of Golden Scroll after seeing them perform at my brother's wedding. After input from my brother and reading reviews online, we reached out to Kevin asking if we could book a quartet. Kevin made the entire process of working with him very easy with how organized he is and how straightforward the process for booking him and his team was. The online song form was very helpful with helping us think about what songs we wanted when, and Kevin was very flexible with making song choices for us for the pre-ceremony music when we were having a harder time coming up with options. He had a lot of prior experience working with our venue which also was very helpful in making the wedding a success. My bridal processional song was A Thousand Years and it was truly beautiful. For our recessional song, my husband and I both wanted something that reflected our common interests so we chose the Legend of Zelda Overworld Theme. It was AWESOME!!! We had lots of guests coming up to us afterwards saying how much they loved hearing Golden Scroll, especially the Zelda theme. We still have guests talking to us several months later about how much they loved the string quartet! Kevin and Golden Scroll Soloists were wonderful and we wholeheartedly recommend them!!!Golden Scroll Soloists's reply:
Christina, we love that you chose the Legend of Zelda "Overworld Theme". It's such a fun, funky, catchy recessional song. I hope our performance of this song has made it into your wedding videos so that you may enjoy it forever. If not, you can revisit us playing Overworld Theme on YouTube at anytime in the future. Many happy wishes to you both! -

For A Wedding Ceremony, The Perfect Touch
You will not regret adding a string quartet from the Golden Scroll Soloists to your wedding ceremony. From our initial call with Kevin to the outdoor, day-of ceremony at the Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, CT, working with the Soloists was fun, efficient, and hassle-free. Most importantly, the music sounded beautiful, adding an elegance and serenity to our ceremony that was absolutely what we’d hoped for. We asked Kevin to arrange two songs that were not in the Soloists’ repertoire (yet), including the entrance song. He did so perfectly. From a more practical perspective, Kevin was professional and responsive over email. We recommend the Soloists without reservation and, if we had to do it over, would choose the Soloists again.Golden Scroll Soloists's reply:
Hi Christina - Magic by Coldplay was an amazing choice for the processional. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to add it to our repertoire. We'll play this arrangement for many years to come, and remember your special day at the Wadsworth Mansion. Also, thanks for including this photo! Your ceremony looks so classy and exquisite with the mansion as the backdrop. You had quite the special vision for your wedding day, having it in front instead of behind the mansion. Love it! Best wishes to you both -

A K Sent on 10/09/2023Lovely ceremony music
We had a string trio from Golden Scroll Soloists play at our wedding ceremony. My now-husband didn't have strong opinions about ceremony music, so I definitely commandeered this aspect of wedding planning ;) And I'm so happy with how it all turned out!
*Kevin was organized and professional leading up to the big day, and his wife (Elinor) sounded wonderful on the cello...I walked down the aisle to a Bach cello suite.
*They also arranged a new song for our recessional! And while the groom was a bit too tunnel-visioned at the time to notice my cheeky musical surprise, the other Bostonians in attendance (including his brothers/groomsmen) got a kick out of "Dirty Water".
Thanks for providing a wonderful soundtrack to some of our most special moments! -

Andrew S. Sent on 09/12/2023Awesome, Flexible String Quartet!
Kevin and his musicians at Golden Scroll did an amazing job at our wedding! We had them play rock & pop music with some Taylor Swift at the beginning of our ceremony and during the cocktail hour. But as a musician myself, I also threw some custom arrangements at them - they played Cody Fry's "I Hear A Symphony" and Disney's "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" beautifully for our bridal party processional and bridal procession and then flipped a switch and brought the energy for Vulfpeck's "Animal Spirits" during our recessional. I agreed with other musicians in attendance at our wedding when they said our string quartet was fantastic!Golden Scroll Soloists's reply:
Hi Andrew and Christie- Thank you, this is high praise coming from a fellow professional musician! Thanks for introducing us to Vulfpeck's Animal Spirits. Many happy returns to you both! - Kevin and Elinor Bishop + the GSS team -

Nicole D. Sent on 01/08/2024The perfect addition to our wedding ceremony
A quartet from Golden Scroll Soloists provided the music for our wedding ceremony and it could not have been more perfect. We were lucky in that GSS had played in the chapel before. But I believe they would have been wonderful even without that previous experience. It was very easy to select music and communication throughout the process was very easy. They were already set up when we got there and did not cause any stress on the day - they just took care of everything. And the music was beautiful! We highly recommend GSS for any event! -

Megan Sent on 11/20/2023A perfect day!!!
We had Golden Scrolls perform at our August 2023 wedding. I would give them 100 stars if I could. They are so talented and created a wonderful atmosphere and ambience to the day. All of our guests commented on how wonderful they were. Kevin was so easy to work with and made everything seamless. Their volume of music is endless and they can play any genre. They truly made our wedding day perfect.
