Elmer and Mosaic Strings are absolutely wonderful to work with. World class musicians, professional, and kind. The arrangements they made for string trio were glorious, and they made our ceremony truly magical. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how great they were. They are absolUTEly worth the cost. Hire them!

Having a live musician for our cocktail hour really elevated the entire environment! Elmer got back to us right away when we sent an inquiry. The contract was clear & easy to read ...
and the prices were reasonable. His company provided a repertoire of popular songs to choose from and we were able to curate a personal playlist for our wedding. We were also able to select the musical instrument(s) we wanted for the event. We decided to go with a cello and we had multiple guests ask who the musician was! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our wedding day special.

I cannot recommend Mosaic Strings enough - they truly made our day unforgettable!
