    Played the space perfectly

    I hired Vivace Live for my wedding ceremony and reception. In a challenging room with virtually no sound deadening, they immediately played the perfect volume to bring life to the room without intruding on conversation. Their selection of music was both elegant and intriguing. They made beautiful compositions of a few songs we had requested. Their demeanor and communication was outstanding. 6 out of 5 stars if I could.

    Great live music for ceremony and cocktail hour

    Vivace was everything we could have hoped for to make our cocktail hour unforgettable. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the event and played everything we asked for while filling in with other songs that fit our style. We got multiple compliments from wedding guests about how good they were and added a different feel to our ceremony and cocktail hour that made it stand out in comparison to other weddings. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their special day even more special.

    Bridgerton vibes at Hershey Gardens

    We're so grateful to have been able to work with Vivace. Sara was really easy to work with from our first introductory call all the way up to our wedding day. The Fiddle & Fray duo brought the Bridgerton vibes to our wedding at Hershey Gardens, and we really appreciated how Vivace worked with us to make sure our first dance was a special song choice at the right tempo! If I could give any advice to future couples or people looking for string musicians, go with Vivace for an easy, flexible and high-quality experience.

    Phenomenal !!!

    Highly talented and professional group. As a former touring musician I can say that their level of musicianship is incredible. Their arrangements of contemporary songs were amazing. Upbeat and fun, they kept the dance floor packed with their take on songs from Bruno Mars to Michael Jackson and beyond. We went in expecting to hear boring chamber music, and came as fans of Vivace Live. Highly recommended and great choice for any wedding reception!!!

    Vivace Live String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Keith! This means a lot to us, especially coming from someone with so much experience. We’re so glad you enjoyed the music! Keep in touch!

    Excellent quartet for full reception

    From the first phone call with Sara to the last note played at our daughter’s wedding reception, Vivace Live exceeded our expectations! They are one class act in every aspect - extremely professional, exceptionally talented, excellent communicators and flexible to our desires for the reception. Vivace helped to create a beautiful, unique, and fun atmosphere at the reception! We appreciated that the drummer also functioned as an excellent emcee for the evening. Our desire was to have live classy music that was danceable and many of our guests enjoyed dancing under the stars to Vivace’s extensive song repertoire. We are so grateful to have contracted with them and you will be too!

    Vivace Live String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much for having us! We really enjoyed the evening, It’s one we will never forget! Such beauty with the mountains behind and the open sky. Plus you had such a great crowd. Hope to see you again soon!

    Talented, Creative, Adaptable, and Fun!

    At our wedding this past weekend, Vivace created a memory I will never forget. Our nephew's favorite song is the Hot Dog song from Mickey Mouse Club House, and after hearing my Sister in Law hum the tune, Vivace gave a perfect rendition of it so our nephew could have a dance party! This quartet could not have fit our wedding any better. They were professional, talented, and read the room perfectly from volume to actual music played. They expertly played requests of songs and created a beautiful and vibrant atmosphere all while adeptly balancing the fine line of not blending too much in the background to not be heard, and not playing too loud to drown out conversation.

    One of the Top Highlights of My Son's Wedding

    The Vivace Live String Quartet gave an amazing performance for both my son's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I'm so glad we decided to have them perform with a drummer at the cocktail hour as it really enhanced the sound to a fun, lively, entertaining atmosphere. They played all kinds of popular songs that had been selected by the bride and groom. The guests raved about their sound and talent.
    They were very professional and easy to plan with as they answered all of my questions and provided good suggestions when asked. I received soooo many inquiries and compliments about this group.
    Thanks to Vivace Live as they were truly one of the main highlights of the wedding!

    Wedding Guest Review!

    I had the pleasure of experiencing this band as a guest at a wedding in late October. They had a stunning performance that fit the venue and the couple so well, playing covers that had the whole guest list laughing and snapping along. The party was a blast with the band fitting so easily in and really lifting the atmosphere! I will 100% recommend them again and again!

    The best string quartet

    I decided later into the planning process that I wanted live music, but as soon as I did, I found Vivace Live. I used them for ceremony and cocktail music. From the start, Sarah and the team were extremely responsive and easy to work with. The team is very transparent with prices and procedures, which I really appreciated. Their repertoire is phenomenal, they truly had songs for everyone . On the big day, the team was FANTASTIC. They sounded phenomenal and my guests could not stop raving. I could not recommend this group more!

    Melissa & Jonathan’s review

    The minute we clicked on Vivace’s website we knew we wanted them for our wedding. They are so talented and provided such a unique experience with the combination of strings and DJ for our reception portion. We are so thrilled with the outcome of the evening and all the guests commented on the music! Five stars. Sara was so great to work with and took a lot of time to speak with us on the phone to make sure our evening was exactly how we envisioned it. They knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend them for events and weddings.

    Stunningly beautiful music

    Vivace was not only easy to work with but provided incredible music for both my ceremony & cocktail hour. They played a variety of different genres, etc. with ease. It was so special to them on my day. If you’re looking for live music in any capacity for your day I highly recommend them!!

    Vivace is the vibe

    I cannot recommend Vivace enough for your event. Everything with them was seamless from initial proposal to signing the agreement, music selection, and day-of coordination. Julianna is a dream to work with. They were so amazing I’ve had several guests commenting on how that was one of their favorite touches on our wedding!

    A Highlight of Our Wedding

    Vivace Live was an absolute highlight of our wedding day! Having live music was at the top of our priority list for our big day, and the package they offered fit our needs perfectly. We were in communication with Julianna during the planning process, and she answered all of our questions and provided us with a well-organized system to share our song requests. One of the things that really stood out to us was the large selection of songs across different genres. We really appreciated the flexibility of being able to choose both classical and more modern songs for each part of our event. This was a major plus for us as we wanted our wedding music to be representative of and meaningful to us. We really wish we had more time to enjoy Vivace Live’s performances as much as our guests did! Thank you for adding a special and personal touch to our wedding day with your professionalism and talent!

    Looked for a wedding band and then different piano players for parties in my home and all were friendly, professional and amazing musicians

    I appreciate the professional and very responsive communication when planning. The musicians were very friendly and extremely professional! We will continue to hire musicians from Vivace Live and recommend them to anyone!

    An awesome addition to our wedding!

    We had Vivace for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they did a spectacular job. Sara was great to work with and the whole process was very smooth. They had a solid repertoire to choose from; we did end up requesting 2 special songs and they executed both perfectly. We are so happy that we had Vivace for our wedding!

    Amazing experience!

    Working with Vivace Live was an amazing experience from start to finish! They were very easy to work with and great with communication! They had a wide variety of songs to choose from as well! They were the perfect touch to my ceremony and my cocktail hour! I highly recommend using them if you’re looking for a sting quartet!

    Vivace Live String Quartet is the BEST string ensemble around!

    From our very first interaction to the very last song played at our micro-wedding, Julianna and the Vivace Live team made the entire process seamless. If you’re looking for the best live musicians around, stop what you’re doing and book them NOW! Vivace Live made our day pure perfection, and it’s hard to put into words how truly amazing our experience with the String Quartet was.
    Julianna's experience was recognizable from the start as she guided us through the planning process, answered all our questions, and gave recommendations that made our small celebration unforgettable. She provided us with a well-organized portal that allowed us to find all our details in one place and even checked in frequently to provide help as needed. Within a few emails, our wedding day was planned and ready to go, with no issues whatsoever OR any worry in my mind.
    We got married on a Thursday, and this fit into Vivace Live’s availability! The day of our wedding, the musicians arrived early to set up and coordinated with our wedding planner without hesitation. They provided prelude music before the ceremony began as guests arrived and were seated. All our requests were met without question- we requested special Groomsmen music during our ceremony and extended our contracted playing time. For the cocktail hour, we sent in the genre of music that we enjoy the most, and the musicians created the most perfect playlist to play- not having to create the any type of full playlist lifted a huge weight from my shoulders (as the bride)! The musicians were also dressed professionally, and their equipment was extremely well-kept.
    To my surprise, Julianna was a musician that day and greeted me with big smiles and kind words. The entire team expressed their gratitude for spending our special day with us and that alone spoke bounds to my husband and I. The Vivace Live musicians are extremely talented musicians, we still have friends and family talking about them. We cannot thank Julianna and the entire team enough, we would recommend The Vivace Live String Quartet to everyone a thousand times! Thank you for playing such a special part in making all our wedding dreams come true!
    P.S. I work at a wedding venue and Vivace Live is a preferred live music vendor- for every obvious reason! I could not imagine working with anyone else except Vivace Live! 😊

    PERFECT for our ceremony and cocktail hour

    The string quartet was INCREDIBLE!! I loved that we were not limited to a specific genre. My favorite part was our dogs walking down the isle to the concerning hobbit song! Ditch the DJ for you ceremony and cocktail hour and use Vivace Live Sting Ensembles!

    Highly recommend

    We hired Vivace String Quartet to provide music during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and we were extremely happy with the service they provided. They were very easy to work with and professional. Vivace asked for a song list for our ceremony in advance and were able to be accommodating with our choices and make recommendations based on our wedding party size. Overall, they were great, and we highly recommend them for your events and weddings!

    Perfect Ceremony Music

    Vivace was an incredible addition to our ceremony. We had a violin duo for our ceremony music. My only regret is that I wasn't a guest at my own wedding so that I could sit and listen to them. Our guests all commented how lovely and professional they were!

    The Dream Team

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Vivace, where to begin? Signing on with Vivace was easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day this past July. Sara provided such clear communication throughout the entire process and even through my various postponements - handled every amendment with grace and professionalism. Ever since I was a little girl dreaming of my wedding day, I knew I wanted to perform the Ave Maria at my ceremony. Sara openly welcomed the opportunity to come rehearse with her and her team in her very own home to ensure that we all felt comfortable with the performance and to ensure that it would be nothing short than absolute magic on the big day! Leading up to my wedding day, Julianna oversaw the day-of logistics and the transition between them both was seamless. Julianna was a pleasure to work with and on the day of my wedding the strings honestly added such a magical touch to both my ceremony and cocktail hour. Their repertoire is honestly SO expansive it was actually quite hard to hone down on which songs we wanted played! But just in case you can’t find your special song on their list - Vivace is more than happy to purchase the music and learn it before your event! They are the DREAM TEAM. I couldn’t have asked for a more talented + sweet group. You’ll regret not booking them for your special event!

    Pure magic and beautiful talent!

    As a wedding planner and fellow wedding vendor, I knew I needed Vivace for my wedding. I have worked with this talented group many times at other weddings so I knew the amazing talent they would bring for my own day. Our favorite part of the process was looking their large repertoire to pick out the songs that would make our day extra special. We had Vivace perform our ceremony processional and recessional music along with cocktail hour. My husband and I were honored to have them part of our day and would hire them again!

    Excellent quartet!

    We hired Vivace Live for our ceremony music and had a great experience. They had a vast repertoire list for us to choose from - including all the songs we already had in mind! Julianna was very easy to work with and the ceremony went smoothly. Thanks Vivace Live!
