Our wedding on January 17, 2026, at The Wave Hotel in Orlando, Florida, felt like a living fairytale. The soul-stirring music of Sweet Harmony was the heartbeat that made every moment unforgettable. From our very first Zoom call to the final shimmering notes that lingered in the warm Florida evening air, this quartet didn’t just perform; they transformed our day into pure magic! Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but Sweet Harmony made it effortless and joyful. Kasia Dolinska was an absolute dream to work with, warm, brilliantly organized, and genuinely excited about our vision. Her quick responses, thoughtful suggestions, and deep understanding of how music shapes emotion took all the stress out of the process. Their pricing was not only competitive but an incredible value for the level of talent and professionalism we received. We were especially blown away by their vast, beautifully curated song list; everything from timeless classics to modern indie favorites, which let us create a playlist that felt completely, authentically “us.” My musician husband even had the chance to discuss possibly performing alongside them, and Kasia’s enthusiasm made us feel like true collaborators rather than just clients. On the wedding day, Sweet Harmony arrived perfectly on time, elegantly dressed in classic black, adding an air of refined sophistication to our outdoor garden ceremony. But it was their sound that left us breathless. Rich, vibrant, and impossibly crisp, every note floated on the gentle breeze like liquid gold, wrapping our guests in warmth, romance, and pure joy. You could feel the emotion in the air, smiles widened, eyes glistened, and people swayed gently as the music wrapped around us like a loving embrace. The seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was flawless: they simply turned their chairs and continued playing without missing a single beat, keeping the elegant atmosphere flowing effortlessly as guests mingled and celebrated. The absolute pinnacle of our day, a moment we still get chills thinking about, was their breathtaking rendition of “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last during our processional, walking hand in hand down the aisle. The music was delicate, light, resonant, and so deeply moving that I instinctively slowed my steps, wanting to savor every exquisite note. It felt like the entire world paused; the strings poured out love, hope, and forever in a way that words can never capture. That single piece turned the beginning of our forever into something transcendent. We can’t wait to relive it in our wedding video. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels intimate, elegant, and emotionally unforgettable, Sweet Harmony is the only choice! Their extraordinary talent, heartfelt passion, and flawless professionalism elevated our day in ways we never imagined possible. Kasia and the entire quartet truly gifted us the most beautiful, memorable day of our lives. We recommend them with every ounce of our hearts! They don’t just play music; they create magic! Thank-you! Más & Vin

Overall, we had a good experience with our DJ. He arrived on time, was professional throughout the evening, and kept our guests on the dance floor for most of the night. The music flowed well, and everyone seemed to have a great time. That said, I did spend a lot of time carefully selecting songs that were meaningful to us, and I was a little disappointed that many of those selections weren't played. Some of our requested songs were included, but I had hoped more of our playlist would be incorporated into the evening. The only other issue was that, just before our grand exit, he approached us to mention that he hadn't received enough food. We had paid for a vendor meal for him, so I wasn't sure what had happened, and it didn't feel like the best time to bring it up while we were in the middle of such a special moment. Despite those concerns, he was friendly, punctual, and our guests clearly enjoyed themselves. If having a lively dance floor is your top priority, he does a good job creating a fun atmosphere.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen.

They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

Molly was the very first vendor we booked because we knew from the start we wanted to bring her to Chattanooga. My husband and I wanted an epic dance party without the reception being focused on alcohol. That is not a guarantee for most groups of people, and we knew Molly would help us create an amazing vibe through the music. Molly listened to our intentions and gave us professional and experienced feedback, which really helped as we were in the beginning stages of planning without a wedding planner. On the day-of, she was prompt and efficiently coordinated with the space and helpers. During the reception, she knew how to stick with the plan when needed and shift on the spot when appropriate. She worked with our crowd and took appropriate requests that matched our intended vibe, as discussed in our planning meetings. Her set up and clean up were simple and smooth. She truly went above and beyond, and I would recommend her for any wedding!

We hired DJ Ryan for our wedding in early May 2026 at Rumbling Bald at Lake Lure, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our entire day. My wife and I both have extensive musical backgrounds, so finding a DJ who could truly collaborate with us on the music was incredibly important. Ryan didn't just meet that bar; he blew right past it. From our very first phone call through the last song, Ryan was exceptional. He handled our pre-processional music, processional, ceremony audio, cocktail hour, reception, and post-reception dance party with the same level of care throughout. We didn't have an official wedding planner, so Ryan went above and beyond by reviewing our day-of plans, serving as a sounding board, identifying potential timeline issues, and helping coordinate with our other vendors. He took an enormous amount off our plates. Working with Ryan felt less like hiring a vendor and more like collaborating with a creative partner. We discussed the exact atmosphere we wanted and gave him playlists, must-plays, like-to-plays, and absolute do-not-plays. He nailed all of it. One of our favorite moments happened when my wife and I stepped away for sunset photos. Many family members hadn't seen each other in a long time and were catching up. Rather than fight that energy with upbeat music, Ryan recognized what was happening and shifted into softer songs from artists he knew we loved. When we returned, he read the room again and brought everyone right back onto the dance floor. Later, he played “Love Train” and got everyone into a Conga line. Kids, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between joined in. It was one of the highlights of the night. Ryan also handled our outdoor ceremony flawlessly. We were right on the water with a steady breeze and occasional strong gusts, yet there was no noticeable wind noise or feedback. He made sure both our officiant and I were properly miked and adjusted the processional levels perfectly. As our MC, Ryan introduced the wedding party, announced toasts, and cued our dances and bouquet toss without a hitch. We have a big, loud, rambunctious family, and he kept everything moving without ever making the night feel rushed. He even handled a venue snafu during the cake cutting. When he realized the venue hadn't put out plates or utensils and our cake-cutting song wouldn't last through the delay, he calmly explained the situation and offered solutions to bridge the gap. What could have been an awkward moment became a total non-issue. And then there was the dance party. I can say with complete confidence that Ryan is the best wedding DJ I have ever experienced. His song selection and ability to read the room were perfect all night. At most weddings, someone has a complaint about the DJ. At ours, everyone—from kids to grandparents—agreed Ryan was phenomenal. Ryan and Remix Weddings were also completely upfront about pricing. While other vendors surprised us with additional costs, Ryan and his team were clear and honest from the beginning. Given the talent, professionalism, and care he brought, he was extremely reasonably priced. A wedding is a massive investment, and choosing Ryan means you get to actually enjoy your day instead of worrying about it. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and will recommend him to every engaged friend we have in the Asheville area. We cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Ryan, for helping make our day so incredible. We are forever grateful.

  • Serves Shelby, NC

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Upstate Strings Trio is a wedding music company that is sure to create a delightful soundtrack to your day. This group has performed at over 300 weddings throughout the last eleven years. Jada, the owner, graduated from Furman University with a music degree. I currently freelance all over NC and SC and stay home to care for my beautiful infant daughter! Services Offered: We can provide live music for any occasion. Our instruments can include violin, viola and cello, harp, guitar and piano for ceremony and/or cocktail hour and piano, saxophone, upright bass, and guitar for reception and/or cocktail hour.

Upstate Strings was absolutely amazing! Having live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour elevated the entire experience and made everything feel so elegant and timeless. They played a mix of Bridgerton-style covers for the cocktail hour that our guests loved, and for my walk down the aisle, they performed an Ed Sheeran song that was special to us — it was the song playing the first time we met. Because they were live, they were able to time everything perfectly, and the transitions felt so natural and emotional. So many guests commented on how classy and beautiful the music was. I can’t recommend them enough!

So, I came to Ryan through rec from a friend with very good taste. She told me he was great at creating a vibe, and that was all I needed to hear. I didn’t look into anyone else once Ryan let me know he had my date open. He sends out a pretty comprehensive questionnaire to get a feel for what you want, and he 100% delivers on it. Our wedding was pretty low-key (no official organizer) and Ryan was chill about making announcements, etc. when we checked in with him in the moment. Should I ever need a DJ again, I’ll absolutely hit him up. If anything, I’d probably just let him have more free reign next time. The man knows what he’s doing.
