Feedback
- very professional and entertaining -- Lori J, San Diego, CA, 2/4/2008
- 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! -- Jessica Y, Pasadena, CA, 2/3/2008
- 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 -- Joey F, Malibu, CA, 1/26/2008
- We were in a bind the week of the wedding since we did not have anyone booked to play the ceremony. We found the International String Trio online through Gigmasters and I was thankful I received a very quick response from the Director, Slava Tolstoy. He was very helpful through this whole process and we were pleased with the result. I would recommend them and this site! -- Trisha K, Los Angeles, CA, 4/12/2008
- 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!! -- J. R, Irvine, CA, 4/23/2011
- flawless,captivating. -- Louie O, San Pedro, CA, 12/4/2010
- 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. -- Randolph R, San Diego, CA, 4/17/2010
- I hired International Strings for my wedding ceremony and they were great! I highly recommend them. -- Noemi P, La Mirada, CA, 4/10/2010
- I couldn't be happier with International Strings. They were easy to communicate with, affordable and talented. My guests were very impressed with the music and all around performance. I had a special request that was easily accomodated. They were also very respectful during the wedding ceremony. -- Catherine B, Long Beach, CA, 3/20/2010
- 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. -- Timothy M, Newport Beach, CA, 8/1/2009
- very good, completely happy with the performance -- Charlie B, San Diego, CA, 5/23/2009
- They did a wonderful job at our wedding at the Oviatt Penthouse. Extremely professional, punctual, relaxed and accomplished. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment. -- Jeremy R, Los Angeles, CA, 5/17/2009
- I was impressed by the group's professionalism, selection of pieces, and musicianship. Many of the guests at our wedding raved about them, too! Would highly recommend them to others! -- Christine W, Temecula, CA, 10/1/2011
- 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!
