We had a cellist and violinist perform for our wedding - they played before the ceremony and throughout the following cocktail hour. They were SO great, they added elegance and joy to the day. We’re so glad we hired them! And the planning process was smooth sailing. Thanks so much, Natalie.

Response from Upstate Strings:
It was a honor to celebrate with you-- thanks so much and CONGRATS again! :)
Upstate Strings did an amazing job providing cello music for our wedding ceremony. We got married in a historic chapel, so a single, unamplified cello was perfect for the acoustics of the room. Natalie, the cellist, was easy to work with, communicative, and took our preferences and requests into account. Best of all, for the beautiful music, the price was incredible. Compared to other options we looked at, Upstate Strings had the best prices by far.
