Wedding•Reviewed on July 19, 2024•From Del Mar, CA
The group did a phenomenal job. They learned 3 new songs for our wedding and the execution was perfect. International strings is flexible, reliable, professional, and gave our wedding a sophisticated touch. We were very happy with each member and the feedback we received from guests was stellar. We would love to hire them for future events.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 21, 2017•From San Francisco, CA
I want to take this opportunity to tell you that the musicians were simply sensational last night. The venue for my birthday party is a rather intimate space and so the musicians were an integral part of the evening. There were times when I just wanted to listen to them and forget about my role as host for the Party. My guests could not stop commenting on how wonderful the music was. I believe music is a key component of putting together an evening like this and they truly exceeded my expectations. The variety of the song selections, the incredible musicianship and their accompanying my friend, Cecil, on What a Wonderful World, just brought the house down.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 16, 2017•From Escondido, CA
Our musicians were remarkable in every way. They arrived early, practiced with a vocalist who was a member of the wedding party, set up and played in the chapel, then quickly and discreetly relocated to the reception and dining area and resumed playing. They added two songs that we requested which were not on their playlist and performed them flawlessly. We asked to add a cellist and the group played as though they had been together forever. We cannot sing their praises high enough. Thank you International Strings. You made it a beautiful event we will all remember.

My husband and have to share they with all who are thinking of using Int. Strings-
We were extermely picky searching for a string trio for our wedding. They went above and beyond to to play songs that they didn't normally play. (when other groups flat out said NO)
The quality of their musicians that came, couldn't have been any better!
They sounded incredible and were very professional.
We were so happy to have found and chose them!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 24, 2012•From Agoura Hills, CA
I hired International Strings solely based on the reviews on gigmaster and they did not disappoint! They were highly professional (on time, looked the part, great email communication prior to the event) and played beautifully at my outdoor wedding in June of 2012. They even learned a special song that I want to walk down the aisle too. Several people commented on how great they were including friends of mine who are musicians. I picked all the songs I wanted for my ceremony but left the rest of the time (cocktail hour) to them by saying basically "keep it upbeat" and again they did a great job. I would not hesitate to recommend them or hire them again.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on December 10, 2012•From San Diego, CA
Our overall experience with International Strings was excellent! We requested that they play classical music for the first half of the contract, and for the seond helf to play a combination of contemporary pop hits. They rose to the occassion! Their professionalism was wonderful, the players met all of our needs, and most importantly, the music was amazing. Guests were very complimentary as well. I would definitely hire International Strings again, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a group that will deliver an extra element of class to their event.

This group was a pleasure to work with and we were extremely satisfied with their overall performance for our wedding and reception. They learned a new song for our wedding and played it just perfectly! They were professional in every way. They provided the perfect musical portion of the entire event for us. They have such a large and varied musical catalogue that they played perfect music at each phase of the event. I would definitely recommend them to others and would also use them again! Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding a dream come true!

I had the greatest experience working with International Strings for our wedding; they're amazing, talented, professional & so easy to work with - even though they were hired with only 2 weeks notice! They even seamlessly handled a special saxophone request for us with such style that I honestly was blown away. We've received so many compliments from our guests, & even our wedding coordinator (w/12 years of experience) was impressed enough to pull me from our photo session just to see & hear how fantastic they were. We truly and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM for all performance types. If we could get married again just to hear them play, we would do it in a heart beat!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 26, 2010•From San Diego, CA
International Strings did an excellent job. I needed a band that could play some typical ceremony music (Canon in D, Wedding March, etc.) and then seamlessly move to a jazz band for the reception. I was particularly concerned that the jazz portion not sound like elevator music with easy listening versions of "yesterday" or Bon Jovi.
International Strings were spot on. Very classy three piece sting for the ceremony turned into a 5 piece jazz band that everybody raved about.

International Strings was very professional, asked all pertinent questions up front so there were no suprises, and most importantly provided wonderful music for our ceremony and reception. They even played a couple of requests for a last minute decision to have a few dances. I highly recommend International Strings for your event.

The string trio was fantastic. I booked them based on
online samples and when I heard them playing at our
party I knew I made the right choice. They really went
above and beyond our expectations. Everything was
extremely professional. Many guests complimented their
talent and repertoire (from classical to
contemporary). We are very happy with their
performance and will not hesitate to recommend the
International String Trio for any event

They were absolutely wonderful! I'm so impressed with the International String Trio. They are true professionals and very accommodating with the various music that we requested for our party. We received great comments from all of our guests. When we are looking for musical talent for any of our future events, the International String Trio will be at the top of the list!
