About Modern Strings
Modern Strings
We are a husband and wife team located in New Haven, Connecticut who have played over 1000+ weddings and hire professionals from the top orchestras in New England. As a modern couple ourselves, recently married in May of 2021, we are very familiar with the process on both sides. Modern Strings offers a variety of ensemble choices for your budget that range from a solo violinist, to an electric duo, to full string quartet. Whether you are wanting to stay classic or try something unique, our music library can offer you classical, pop, religious, film, jazz music, and more!
We believe that the modern couple, should have modern musicians that can take play in a variety of styles in order to create a personalized experience for their event. Planning a wedding is an exciting time, and you'll have not one, but two people to assist in complementing your musical style to your wedding.

Dream Wedding
Modern strings made my dream wedding a reality! From the initial conversations, to help with picking out ceremony music and them even composing a mash up for me to walk down the aisle to! Celine was so kind, quick and easy to work with. The compliments I got from guests about how beautiful the ceremony and cock tail hour music was were endless!! I would work with them again in a heart beat!
Don't hesitate!
We are so happy we chose Modern Strings for our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour. They were great to work with from start to finish. Our guests absolutely loved their string trio and it added such a special touch!
Hit The Perfect Notes For Our Library Wedding
For our library wedding in Newport, RI, we knew from the start we wanted strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Modern Strings felt like the perfect find, with a library of classical and modern songs to choose from. They were incredibly organized throughout the process and, when the day came, flawlessly set the romantic tone we had in mind with their trio. Family and friends talked about how much they loved sitting in the ceremony space, surrounded by books and beautiful classical music, which Modern Strings perfectly matched to our processional and recessional song choices. We had some latecomer guests to the ceremony, but you wouldn't know it from the cellist who continued playing my song seamlessly for the moment I walked in. Cocktail hour was a dream, too. We asked for upbeat, Bridgerton-style pop covers and they delivered, along with one special request. For the last song of cocktail hour, we asked our trio to play Clair De Lune for our first dance. It was the perfect, dreamy prelude to doors opening in reveal of our dinner space. I can't say thank you enough, and can't recommend Modern Strings enough.
Elevates your guests experience
My experience with Modern Strings was wonderful. My violinist arrived to my wedding early and spoke with me asking if I had any last minute requests or changes. He was kind and played such beautiful music that really elevated the experience of my wedding. My guests were blown away!
