My husband and I hired Art Strings Ensemble to play during our wedding ceremony. We were amazed at their talent, professionalism and enthusiasm. We selected a mix of contemporary and classical pieces and all were played flawlessly. Our guests even commented how they completely rocked out during the contemporary pieces! Art Strings exceeded all expectations and made our wedding absolutely perfect. I highly recommend hiring Art Strings for any special event. I will be sure to recommend them to family and friends. -Jessica G, 10/22/2011, Wedding Ceremony, Millington, NJ |

When I found Arts-Strings, I was so wowed by them that I knew I just had to have them at my wedding. At the day of the wedding they looked very professional and played beautifully. As we started to walk down the aisle, I heard them play for the first time, it was so beautiful. It was just everything I expected to hear and more. I remember feeling so proud for having them at my ceremony. It was perfect! They set a very romantic and elegant tone for my ceremony. My guests loved them and said my ceremony was one of the best they've ever been to. I could not have made a better decision. Thank you so much arts-strings. You really made my wedding a dream come true. -Aldrin A, 7/15/2011, Wedding Ceremony, Woodbury, NY |

Alexander and the Art-Strings Ensembles played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were absolutely phenomenal!!! We received many compliments on their music, and everyone agreed they are incredibly talented! Alexander was by far one of my favorite wedding vendors to work with, he was very professional, responded immediately to my many e-mails, and made the process of planning for our wedding ceremony music extremely easy. Despite some last minute changes to our ceremony program, the musicians adapted flawlessly on the spot. Moreover, they accommodated all of our requests and played the bridal processional exactly the way I had requested! -Agnes F, 5/22/2011, Wedding Cocktail Hour, Ringwood, NJ |

My wife Ruth and I were looking for music that would complement the theme of our wedding: "Simple Elegance". We could not have been more pleased with the quartet for our wedding. They worked with us on a playlist (which was varied) that fit the needs of our special day and performed masterfully throughout the event. Guests came to us after the wedding and said "Where did you find these musicians?" "They are phenomenal". Living in China and planning a wedding in Yonkers was not easily accomplished, but with the help and expertise of Art-Strings Ensemble, it was a wedding that we and our guests will always remember as a day of simply elegant music.

If you had a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 = highest, that still would not be high enough for our rating for Alexander and his Art-strings ensemble. They were just amazing and marvelous. I just wished I hired them for the entire wedding. Not to put down my daughter's DJ, they too were very very good, but the chamber music was stunning. All the guests just simply loved them. I will certainly remember to hire Alexander again for any future venues we host. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I would like to thank you for the beautiful job of performing at our wedding. We had so many compliments for the music played awaiting the ceremony. It was the perfect extra touch of class that I wanted for the ceremony. I will definitely recommend you to others.
Leanora & Angelo Rivera - Yonkers, NY
Alexander, I think the pianist and violinist did a great job and we both received many positive responses from our guests. I was skeptical when Maura suggested us to use a violinist/pianist, but it was a very nice part of the ceremony and fit perfectly into a beautiful day at a beautiful location. I would recommend Art Strings to anyone inquiring about musicians for their wedding. Thank you!

Hello Alexander,
We just wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful music played at our wedding ceremony. We received so many compliments on your performance from all of our guests. I only heard a few songs but I wish I could have heard more but I was not allowed to go outside prior to walking in with my father. Once again we commend you for the elegant performance and would highly recommend you to other newlyweds. I will also keep your information in case I need to hire a classical performer with the utmost talent - both your violin and pianist were fabulous and we wanted to thank you for making our day absolutely perfect!!!! Thanks again and best of luck to you and "Art Strings" in your future endeavors.
Jacquelyn and Philip Ferro - Eatontown, NJ
Dear Alexander, I was very pleased with the string trio's performance at the wedding. Each piece flowed into the next one in such a seamless way. Thank you for playing. I didn't get the chance to hear the pieces you played as guests were coming in, but I did here the Bach Air piece, Pachelbel's Canon, Simon Tov Mazel Tov and Vivaldi's Autumn. They were absolutely perfect for the mood that I think my brother and his wife wanted: romantic, tranquil and warm.
Thanks again,
Laura Gourdine - New York, NY
Alexander, Your group was outstanding!! Dave and I were very impressed. Michele (Spinning Wheel Banquet Coordinator) had told us the night before at our rehearsal that your group was fantastic--she remembered that you had played there a few weeks before. In addition, several guests commented to us, and some more to my parents, about how wonderful your performance was. We thank you very much for making our special day that much better!
