    Elopement Wedding

    We travelled from the uk to get married in San Francisco. As we weren’t local finding vendors was a little challenging however I am so glad I came across Amore Strings. The whole process leading up to the wedding was extremely simple and they quickly responded to any queries. Amore strings made our wedding ceremony even more perfect and I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic!

    Thank you for playing at my sister's wedding! You were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Everything went seamlessly and we got many compliments afterward :) I was impressed by how well you performed the special request song, even with only a month to prepare! It is my sister's favorite and it meant a lot to her to hear it as she walked down the aisle. Your lovely music was the perfect personal touch for this beautiful wedding.

    Cynthia and Bruce at Amore Strings jumped in when our ceremony musician didn’t work out unexpectedly in the 11th hour. They were so kind, went above and beyond, and incredibly professional. They truly saved my day and made it so much better than it would have been, so everything happens for a reason. I highly, highly recommend!

    Mallika - thanks for your kind words. Even though it was last minute, working with you and Jessica's team made it easy. It was lovely to meet you and I appreciate how gracious you were with us!

Yes we do! If you can't find that special song on our list of over 1000 songs, let us know. We'll research the availability of the music and provide you a quote. Prices can range from $30 to $200 depending on your ensemble and whether we have to write a special arrangement.
Yes we are. We carry liability insurance for $1 million per event and can list your venue as an additional insured.
The process is more alchemy than formula. You'll want to consider several factors including the number of guests, the location, desired ambiance, musical styles, and budget. For example, a solo violin doesn't really do justice to the spoken lyrics of Rap, but is a great fit for lyrical love songs. A string quartet is the OG ensemble with rhythm, harmony and a full musical texture. But a trio does nearly the same thing if you're on a budget. Amore Strings can offer an ensemble for every vision. Visit the Ensembles page of our website for more information and to compare audios of the different ensembles.
Typically musicians wear all black. But if your wedding has a special style or theme let us know and we'll be happy to accommodate.
Both! We offer one-hour packages for the ceremony, and longer packages that include the ceremony and cocktail reception. We can also add hours for a dinner as well.
