    Bridgerton and modern music on strings!

    We absolutely loved having live strings at our wedding! They created the most beautiful atmosphere for our cocktail hour and brought our vision to life perfectly. We wanted something romantic and elegant, but still modern and fun, and their Bridgerton-inspired arrangements were exactly that. They also were able to play POV by Ariana Grande as I walked down the aisle :) They were wonderful to work and made the process super easy. They had a library of songs to pick from but you can ofc request anything else you'd like. Our guests loved it!

    Beautifully Played

    From my first conversation with Amore Strings, I knew I had made the right choice in booking for our wedding . They answered every question we had and stayed in touch throughout the planning process, which made us feel confident and supported. On the day of our wedding, AS musicians arrived on time and delivered exactly what we hoped for! They played beautifully!! What really stood out was how kind and genuine the musicians were; they introduced themselves and even showed me the music sheet of the song I requested them to play that want apart of their playlist. I appreciate their willingness to learn a new song for my husband and I’s big day. We will never forget the care they brought to our special day, and we would absolutely book them again for future events. If you're looking for a string ensemble that combines professionalism with warmth, Amore Strings is the answer.

    Perfect ceremony ambience with Amore Strings!

    Working with Cynthia and the Amore Strings team was one of the easiest and best decisions I made for my wedding! From the beginning, Cynthia was very communicative and promptly answered all the questions I had and made it very easy to make song requests that weren't on their current song list. At the ceremony, the trio played beautifully and followed every instruction we had given them. They set the perfect ambience and we received many compliments from our guests who loved their performance as well. It was a true pleasure to work with Cynthia and Amore Strings!

    Magical Evening

    We booked Amore Strings for our evening dinner party wedding and they exceeded every expectation we had. From our first email, their team was responsive, professional, and genuinely warm, qualities that were most important to us as a queer couple looking for vendors who felt like true allies. They understood exactly what we wanted: elegance mixed with a fun, welcoming atmosphere. On the night of our wedding, their performance was nothing short of magical, transforming our dinner into an unforgettable experience with their musicianship and presence. Every guest commented on how the music set the perfect tone for the evening. We cannot recommend Amore Strings highly enough for any couple wanting to add that special touch to their celebration.

    Amore Strings Now and Forever

    Let Amore Strings serenade you: I reserved the Mayors Balcony at SF City Hall and wanted to find a reputable music group for our wedding. From the day I inquired about acoustic musicians to the day of the wedding, Cynthia was available to answer any questions big or small. Choosing our song list was easy because their website was easy to navigate. What really sets them apart from other businesses is their wide catalog of music. They even let us choose a few songs not found in their catalog for a reasonable price. We were ecstatic! My fiancé and I chose a harp/cello duo. Kristin and Gabriel were exceptional! They arrived early, we’re very kind, well-prepared, quality musicians. They played all of our songs beautifully. The wedding ceremony was a bit unorthodox as my fiancé and I are not familiar with weddings… at all but watching Kristin and Gabriel communicate and pivot so well when we moved to the next phase of the ceremony was impressive. Amore Strings gave us such a romantic and elegant wedding experience I am booking them every year we visit SF to celebrate our anniversary. SF now has a special place in our hearts and I thank Kristin and Gabriel for contributing to that.

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.
