Feedback
- They were fantastic! I had them come play privately for a surprise dinner where I proposed to my girlfriend and they were above and beyond my expectations. Not only did they play beautifully, they also showed up exactly when I asked them to in order to surprise her and were willing to take any requests we had during the dinner performance. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat. -- Dave J, Arlington, VA, 2/24/2011
- We hired International Strings to play at the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding. It was an utter pleasure working with the band from the moment we contacted them. Very responsive and accommodating, International Strings was able to learn/arrange and play a song that was not in their repertoire. Aside from their beautiful sound (we've been receiving rave reviews from guests), the band's professionalism left us completely confident that everything on the music side of the wedding was under control. Other than briefly touching base with the musicians upon their arrival, they were completely self sufficient and did an all around fantastic worry-free job. Thanks!! -- Tara L, Sandy Spring, MD, 10/23/2010
- International Strings did a wonderful job at my wedding cocktail reception. I have a classical music background and so I have very high standards for musicians and I could not have selected a better group. We also received rave reviews from our guests for their music. They were the perfect touch to the perfect day and I highly recommend them to anyone. -- Jill E, Alexandria, VA, 10/8/2010

The International Strings was wonderful and made our special event perfect. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism. They showed up ahead of time, did everything I had requested and completed the job perfectly. It’s rare to come across such a wide range of styles delivered by a string group. Our guests absolutely enjoyed their music! I would highly recommend them for any kind of event. -- Matvei S, Alexandria, VA, 4/17/2010
- My experience was very pleasant, the performers were on time and very accommodating. We discussed the type of music prior to the event and I asked for suggestions to keep the music within the mood. -- Michael W, Brandywine, MD, 4/24/2010
