    Looking for an amazing musician? Look no further!

    Emily with Beau Son Strings & Ensembles was amazing in every way. From the very beginning, she was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly, which made the entire planning process stress free. On the day of our ceremony, her music was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect tone. Beyond her talent, Emily is such a kind and sweet person, and that warmth truly showed in everything she did. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician for our wedding ceremony and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special.

    Wonderful violist!!

    Working with Beau Son Strings & Ensembles was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Emily, the owner, was professional, warm and friendly throughout our entire planning process. She was so easy to work with and truly gifted at what she does. Emily made my daughter's dream wedding come true with her stunning musical performances. Her violin playing was elegant and enchanting, perfectly complementing the rustic church setting of our country venue. Emily is the best of the best, and I cannot recommend Beau Son Strings & Ensembles highly enough for any couple looking to make their special day truly unforgettable.

    So Talented Worth the investment!

    I saw Emily playing Violin at a Wedding show and fell in love and had to have her be a part of my wedding day! She was amazing to work with and met with us multiple times to make sure we had all of the songs we needed for each component of the wedding ceremony. She helped us with song recommendations and guided us though the whole process. She had great communication and professionalism. She made our wedding ceremony more elegant than if we were to play recorded music. We received so many compliments how beautifully she played the violin, and we loved the experience of having live music. Hearing the live music on our wedding video is so special. I would highly recommend hiring Emily/Beau Son Strings! If you are on the fence about booking DO IT!
