About Modern Strings

Modern Strings

Co-Owners of Modern Strings

We are a husband and wife team located in New Haven, Connecticut who have played over 1000+ weddings and hire professionals from the top orchestras in New England. As a modern couple ourselves, recently married in May of 2021, we are very familiar with the process on both sides. Modern Strings offers a variety of ensemble choices for your budget that range from a solo violinist, to an electric duo, to full string quartet. Whether you are wanting to stay classic or try something unique, our music library can offer you classical, pop, religious, film, jazz music, and more!

We believe that the modern couple, should have modern musicians that can take play in a variety of styles in order to create a personalized experience for their event. Planning a wedding is an exciting time, and you'll have not one, but two people to assist in complementing your musical style to your wedding.

    From the moment we booked Modern Strings, their communication was attentive and responsive. They took the time to understand our musical preferences and curated a gorgeous set list that had our guests raving about the beautiful music all night long. With their extensive song choices, we were able to easily select the perfect songs to make our wedding truly special. Modern Strings went above and beyond to ensure the music was a highlight of our celebration and we couldn't be happier with the value they provided.

    Modern strings was absolutely incredible. I was never the bride that imagined my entire wedding growing up but one thing I did want was a violinist for the ceremony and they completely exceeded my expectations. The planning process was made simple with Modern Strings and the ceremony was perfect. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

    Modern Strings was the perfect choice for the music at our wedding ceremony. From our first interaction, Celine and Ben were prompt, thorough, and effective in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. Their elegant, timeless, and cohesive performance upscaled the vibe of our ceremony in a way that felt truly special. Celine and Ben were also very accommodating and made themselves available to us on short notice, which we greatly appreciated. It was the perfect touch for our ceremony, and I'm so glad we didn't skip out on having them there.
