Photo of Finneas Violinist Finneas Violinist "We hired him for our wedding ceremony, and he did an incredible job! He is super easy to work with and communicate with. He has tons of songs to choose from. He was exactly what we were looking for and he helped bring our wedding dreams to life!" Based in Sherman Oaks, California 4th June 2026 Leah - Wedding Ceremony Photo of Bollywood California Bollywood California "We had Katie and Wess from Bollywood California play for my sister's milestone Birthday. Right from planning till execution, Katie was on top of things. She helped me with the contract terms and conditions, adjusted the timing, song list to my choice. On the day of the event, both Katie and Wess knocked it out of the park. All the guests were pleased by their skills of playing all genres and especially the flawless playing of Bollywood songs. They both were so professional and did a commendable job. Some of the guests came back after the event to let me know how fantastic Katie and Wess played the violin. Thank you for giving us a great experience, Bollywood California. I would recommend you in the blink of an eye. Kanika" Based in San Francisco, California Kanika - Private Photo of Mercury Strings Mercury Strings "The Mercury String Quartet was beyond accommodating and professional. Even prior to booking there is a sense of personal detail. They will work with you and discuss the precise preferences needed to fulfill your event. Not only did they take on learning unconventional songs for our wedding, they performed them perfectly, and arrived well over an hour prior to their scheduled performance. Highly recommend if you're looking for professional musicians who aren't afraid to step outside the box!" Based in Los Angeles, California Jay N - wedding Photo of The Green Ensemble The Green Ensemble "Our violinist was wonderful. She arrived early and played through our ceremony and photos and our dinner. She played beautifully and played every song that I had on my request list. She was very friendly and professional. I was planning all of this from the U.S and they made everything so easy to plan. Thank you guys so much you were amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼" Based in Rome, Latium, Italy 24th October 2026 Samantha - Wedding Photo of String Duo Lefka Ori String Duo Lefka Ori "Absolutely incredible from start to finish! They created such a beautiful atmosphere for our wedding ceremony and truly brought my vision and ideas to life. It had always been a dream of mine to walk down the aisle to a live string rendition of our song, and they made that moment even more special than I imagined. You guys deserve all the credit for creating such a memorable part of our day. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend you without hesitation. Wishing you both all the best, and thank you again for being part of such a special day." Based in Chaniá, Crete, Greece 16th September 2026 Rebecca Knight - Private Wedding Photo of Skapa Skapa "I discovered SKAPA at another wedding and was immediately sold, so we knew we wanted them at our own wedding too. They took care of the live music during our church ceremony and truly added an extra dimension to the atmosphere. We’re so happy we had them as part of our beautiful day. Their music made the ceremony feel even more special and memorable." Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium 8th September 2026 Sarah & Philippe - Wedding
