About Golden Scroll Soloists

Golden Scroll Soloists

Northeast's most loved string ensemble for 20 yrs

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

Want to walk down the aisle to your favorite Taylor Swift Song? Or would you prefer something from Legend of Zelda? Do you want your cocktail hour guests to be surrounded by timeless Crooner classics? Or do you prefer the current Top 40? Do you like Jazz? Bollywood? Anime? Elvis? Maybe a walk down the aisle to the theme from Pokemon, The Office, or Charlie The Unicorn? Do you want to the entire soundtrack from Bridgerton for your reception? Or maybe you prefer the classical wedding standards? A string ensemble is THE MOST VERSATILE musical ensemble in the world. Yet, every familiar song will be approached complete elegance.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Golden Scroll Soloists did a fantastic job at our Newport wedding. They were professional and easy to work with throughout the planning process and accommodated our requests for the ceremony music. On the big day, the music was beautiful, with numerous guests complimenting what a nice touch having the string music was. They have our highest recommendation.

    Outstanding!

    Golden Scroll Soloists made planning our wedding day so easy from start to finish. They were incredibly responsive and offered thoughtful suggestions that really shaped our vision. On the day of the wedding, they did something we didn't expect—they completely faded into the background while their beautiful music filled every moment. Our guests were swept up in the sound, and we could feel it transforming the entire celebration into something truly special. The quality of their work was excellent, and they delivered far more value than we anticipated. We couldn't have asked for a better choice.

    Best decision ever!

    Golden Scroll Soloists made our wedding day feel truly special. From start to finish, they were efficient and thorough in their communication, offering thoughtful ideas that we hadn't considered. Their quartet played beautifully before the ceremony, during the vows, and throughout cocktail hour, creating an elegant atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. Our guests kept mentioning how the music set the perfect tone for the evening. We felt confident in their hands and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for live music that actually makes a difference.

    Extremely friendly AND talented!

    Apparently, my now-husband is extremely picky when it comes to string quartets. When looking for a string quartet for our wedding in June 2026, we listened to recordings from every available vendor in the Rockland County/Westchester area. Golden Scroll were not only the best sounding, but also were incredibly friendly, organized, and accommodating to our requests. Their song list is MASSIVE and yet they included learning two new songs at no extra charge to allow our playlist to be even more meaningful to us. Kevin was extremely responsive, and was less worried than we were about the 15% chance of rain on the day of the wedding. The performance itself was amazing and our guests raved about it all evening. They didn’t flinch when our robot flower girl came straight towards them! Couldn’t recommend hiring Golden Scroll more for your special event!
