    Highly recommend, very professional team

    We hired Oahu String to play Trio at our wedding ceremony. We communicated via emails before our wedding and they were pretty responsive. I started playing accordion since 4 so can tell in general if the musician is good or not. They appeared on my wedding on time, dressed properly and played the music I selected so well. They made our ceremony romantic, highly recommend.

    Dream Wedding Come True!

    We hired the string quartet and this was my final email to the team. —For context, I had hired them specifically to see if they could play “Danielle’s Wings”…a song from my favorite moment of my favorite movie, “Ever After.” They said they could arrange it, no problem. Very last minute I asked if they could arrange “Draw Me Close” which was again, no problem for them. I was married in a church with strict music guidelines and all of their music was approved and glorious!—

    Aloha,
    I wanted to reach out to thank you and the amazing quartet for their BEAUTIFUL music!!!

    “Draw Me Close” was perfect for the bridal party and I cannot articulate how MAGNIFICENT it was walking down the aisle to “Danielle’s Wings.” My son embraced me at the perfect moment in the song and it was…everything! I received so many compliments on the quartet. I had my dream wedding and the music helped enhance every part of it.

    I would also like to thank your team for being so professional and respectful during our ceremony. We had a live stream and at times the quartet are directly behind me in the shot. They were attentive while the priest spoke, bowed their heads during prayer, and never made themselves a distraction. Well done!

    Great musicians for wedding ceremony

    We hired a violin & cello for our ceremony. Both musicians played beautifully. They were prompt & professional. Communication with office manager was great; she was very responsive.

    Great Experience!!

    We are so glad we booked Oahu Strings! They added a unique and beautiful touch to our wedding. There is nothing like live music! It was amazing to hear some of our favorite songs being played among the wedding's beautiful scenery. The booking process was simple. The musicians were kind and professional. We definitely recommend the quartet!! Thank you Oahu Strings!

    Perfect Vibe

    Oahu Strings was great to work with from the very beginning. We had an outdoor ceremony at Halekulani Hotel in Honolulu. We hired a violin and cello duo from Oahu Strings to play at our wedding ceremony. They could not have done any better! It was exactly as I wanted and we received many compliments on their performance. We can't recommend them enough to anyone considering about having a live performer. We are 100% happy that we chose Oahu Strings.

    Wedding Ceremony

    We hired Oahu Strings for our wedding ceremony. They responded very quickly to our questions and requests. Our guests loved the string quartet. They haven't seen anything like it. The quartet was a beautiful and unique touch to our ceremony.

    An absolute dream

    The one thing I knew I had to have for my wedding was a string quartet. It is something I have always dreamed of, so I decided to have one for my ceremony music, and then switch to a DJ for the reception.
    I wanted a quartet that could play a classical song for the ceremony, and pop music for the one hour cocktail party after.
    Finding Oahu Strings was a dream come true. They delivered everything I had dreamed of and more. They even learned a song for me that I had requested.
    Hearing them playing my wedding song (Canon in D) before I began walking made me immediately tear up.
    I had so many compliments on how much beauty it added to the ceremony.
    Booking them was extremely easy and thee booking manager Rachel was very responsive and accommodating.
    If you also dream of having a string quartet I cannot recommend them enough.
    Thank you Oahu Strings!

    Music was one of the most important aspects of my wedding. Oahu Strings was amazing, very accommodating and fulfilled our requests and always promptly responding throughout the planning which is important when planning a destination wedding. They made suggestions and also came through with some last minute changes we had. All of our guests enjoyed the music. While watching the video their timing was impeccable! I was so happy with how my wedding turned out, the ambiance was perfect and I have to thank Oahu Strings for helping me tie it all together. Thank you so much Rachel! You and your team were amazing.

    I hired the Oahu Strings quartet to perform during the ceremony and cocktail hour for my wedding on the North Shore. As a musician myself (having studied music in college in Boston), live music was one of my top wedding priorities. I love music from various genres and Oahu Strings can play it all from classical, opera, top 40, jazz, Disney, movie themes, and even video games! My guests raved about how great they were and at different times even begun to sing along to the themes from Jurassic Park and Star Wars, which the string quartet played! During the cocktail hour, even my friend's 3-year old daughter started to sing along to the song from the Minions movie, "So Happy Together". When the quartet played jazz standards from Cole Porter, my husband's 90-year old grandmother couldn't help but dance!

    Surprisingly, the price for 2 hours of music by the string quartet was a lot less expensive than hiring a DJ, acoustic guitar/vocals, jazz group, or live Hawaiian music. Hire Oahu Strings for your wedding! Support live music and classically-trained musicians, especially when they can play music from all genres!

    Oahu strings did an amazing job for our wedding :-) they played for our whole ceremony and made it absolutely magical. We were so thrilled when they said they could learn how to play our song - there was no sheet music for it! But they created the sheet music from ear and played it flawlessly. I always dreamt of waking down the aisle to this song and they were able to bring it to life. You won’t go wrong choosing them for your wedding. They are professional, dedicated, and talented.

    Very professional, showed up on time, set up and played with no problems, music sounded great. Several guests commented that the live music was a great addition to the ceremony. We used a string trio for a wedding with 60 guests instead of a quartet for cost considerations, and it still sounded excellent. We were in contact with Mitchell before the wedding and he made sure that he had all the information necessary to make things run smoothly. Highly recommend them.

    This was a baccalaureate service / not a wedding.
    The group has a great knowledge of music. Be clear in what you want for your wedding - particular compositions? They will do a great job.

    Oahu Strings played for our wedding in April and I couldn't have been happier that we chose them! I was able to communicate via email before the ceremony and they were very responsive with everything. They have great songs to choose from and we even were able to have them play "our song". It was so special and they play beautifully! Everyone is still talking about it. Our wedding just wouldn't have been the same if we hadn't have had them there. It was perfect! Definitely recommend Oahu Strings!

    Our wedding was at the Halekulani's Garden Courtyard/Terrace, and we had a tough time finding musicians for the reception that would work with Halekulani's (non-amplified) music policy. We hired Oahu Strings for both the ceremony and reception and couldn't have been more impressed. They have a big repertoire of songs, and they all sounded great. We got a number of compliments from guests on how good our music was.

    Oahu Strings was just what we hoped for! We wanted a classic sound for our wedding, but with modern music, and they were able to perfectly mix the two. They helped us put together amazing songs for our ceremony, were very responsive and on time, nice and helpful, and played great music to set the mood for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. I have been to so many other wedding where the DJ played the wrong song during the ceremony, and was so happy that Oahu Strings beautifully played the exact songs we had talked about, and never missed a beat! Our guests very much enjoyed the music and we were so happy we found Oahu Strings. They were exactly what we were looking for and I highly recommend them!

    We're so happy we found Oahu Strings and hired their trio to perform at our wedding at the Halekulani Hotel. From the first contact to the very end, Mitchell was professional and helpful. The musicians showed up on time and were dressed properly. The music was absolutely beautiful and we loved that we were able to choose 1 song they composed especially for us. We were also able to choose our whole repertoire. It was the perfect touch to our dream wedding!

    Oahu Strings performed at my wedding ceremony and we received many compliments about their performance. One of our guests even said he wished they could've played longer! Their contact person Mitchell was very responsive and answered all my questions. I definitely recommend them!

    Sheryl from Oahu Strings was my violin soloist at my ceremony. She arrived early and was very professional. I had communicated with Mitchell from Oahu Strings about the pieces to be played including one contemporary song that they created a string arrangement for me. Sheryl not only played all my selections beautifully but her timing was perfect in matching them to the ceremony. Having violin accompaniment really added something special to the ceremony and was more than worth the price. Also, Mitchell was super easy to deal with and always answered my questions right away and helped me through the music selection process.
