Arreaux Strings did a wonderful job with the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were easy to work with throughout the planning process, reasonably priced, and executed everything we asked for beautifully.
We had plans in place for both good and bad weather, and when rain became a concern they adapted seamlessly. They were able to play from inside using their own sound equipment and coordinated the rain plan perfectly, so we never had to worry about the music being compromised by the weather.
The ceremony music was beautifully played and coordinated, and their selections during cocktail hour were wonderful. We wanted the cocktail hour music to create an elegant atmosphere without feeling stuffy, and they set exactly the right tone for the beginning of the evening.
Professional, talented, flexible, and very easy to work with. We were extremely happy we chose Arreaux Strings.
I had always dreamed about walking down the aisle to the romantic sound of a single violin at my wedding someday, and thanks to Rebecca and Arreaux Strings my dream became a beautiful reality last month! I booked Rebecca as a solo violin with an amp and a custom arrangement in mind for my big moment. Rebecca was extremely easy to work with leading up to the big day and was enthusiastic and receptive to my ideas for the song I wanted to walk out to. They have a very impressive music catalog that guests happily listened to as they arrived. I feel awful I didn't get to actually speak to her on wedding day (busy day for the bride lol!) but that's a testament to how professional and trustworthy she was. We didn't need to go over any last minute details and I had one less thing to think about on wedding day! She had worked with our venue before so she was knowledgeable in when and where to arrive, where to set up, and what she needed to work. I would recommend Arreaux Strings to anyone looking to give their wedding ceremony a special touch from kind, trustworthy, and talented musicians.
