    Azure Strings. Excellence personified.

    I hired Azure Strings after interviewing 5 or 6 other ensembles for my niece's wedding. From the initial correspondence and phone conversations all the way up to and including the day of the wedding they provided prompt, thoughtful, and helpful responses to all of my concerns. Mary, the first violinist, took care of the venue choice and acoustic requirements therein, making for a seamless integration into the wedding ceremony. Further, she graciously helped out with the music selection across several genres of music. (They even allowed me to accompany them on several songs on guitar as requested by the bride.) And then the day of the wedding--The music was several orders of magnitude beyond exceptional. Outstanding, first-class, extraordinary beyond my wildest hope. The whole timbre of the service was raised to a much higher level. It was perfect in every way. I am so thankful to Azure Strings for making a special day even more special.

    Wedding

    Azure Strings was absolutely incredible! We asked to have a trio play at our wedding during cocktail hour which we extended for 2.5 hours and they were amazing. We had so many people come up to us and compliment us on the live music. It is such a special touch to your wedding day and they played everything we requested. Thank you again for making our dream come true!!

    Colombo Wedding

    Communication with Azure Strings was great throughout the planning process. The music they provided was absolutely perfect and added such a special touch to our cocktail hour. You cannot go wrong with Azure Strings for your event - their music made my daughter's wedding cocktail hour a beautiful experience, and all of our guests were so complimentary of them. It was a perfect addition to her reception!
