• Absolutely fantastic. The International String Trio played our wedding, and everyone loved them and commented on how great they were. Very professional and accommodating also! -- Michelle L, York, ME, 3/22/2008
• My wife and I booked the trio for our wedding and were blown away by their performance. We had an outdoor wedding and the trio played during our ceremony and subsequent cocktail hour. Our guests loved them and they created a wonderful atmosphere. They even learned a song that we particularly liked just for our ceremony and their rendition was wonderful. Highly recommended! -- Asher S, Essex, MA, 10/6/2007
• We hired the International String Trio for our rehearsal dinner, held in a theatre. The dinner was relatively formal, and our vision was for a festive yet elegant event. The International String Trio was the highlight. They exceeded our expectations, played a great variety of music (jazz and similar at cocktails, quieter at dinner, more upbeat for dancing afterwards) and helped make the event elegant, lively, and fun. We had 85 guests; the International String Trio would have been great for a smaller or bigger event. We received many compliments on the selection of the band, with several guests asking for the band's contact info and for recordings. Fantastic! -- Michael L, Rockport, ME, 9/28/2007
• Their music was outstanding! I was more than pleased with their performance and effect at our corporate event. I look forward to hiring them again. -- Chris K, Boston, MA, 8/7/2007
• Professional and entertaining in every way -- Ed M, Melrose, MA, 6/14/2007
• Amazing, incredible, and fantastic cannot even adequately describe their performance. All of my guests commented on how fantastic they are. Their selection of music in addition to my requests were perfect for the occassion. I would recommend them to anyone at any time. We were thrilled. -- Marlene W, Quincy, MA, 6/9/2007
• They were wonderful. Very professional, talented group. They did exactly what we asked. We had several guests rave about how great they were. -- Kelly D, Sturbridge, MA, 6/2/2007
• The International String Trio was one of the highlights of our wedding! THANK YOU!!! We are still hearing from guests who attended our wedding how much they enjoyed listening to their music as well. They were easy to work with, professional and seamless. -- Janelle T, Hampstead, NH, 5/26/2007
• This group was very talented and established a wonderful rapport with the audience. Their repertoire included many classical music- derived tunes done in a variety of styles. They were particularly effective in their renditions of various folk/ethnic tunes and dances. Their commentary on the music between numbers was interesting and entertaining and their style of relating to one another and the audience was relaxed and comfortable. This is toe-tapping, uplifting music, perfect for informal concerts, gatherings and parties. I highly recommend them! -- Gina C, Trumbull, CT, 12/2/2006
• Exquisite! They were fabulous musicians as well as being polite, on time, and extremely professional. They were very versatile with there musical offerings and delighted us with a variety of styles. A great show! The trio was suitable for background music, but it seemed a waste to not just stop and watch them. They are concert worthy! -- Kris S, Cohasset, MA, 11/18/2006
• The International String Trio was the perfect choice to accompany our wedding ceremony. Thank you so much!! -- Adam G, Freeport, ME, 8/26/2006
• These guys were awesome. All the wedding guests loved the different styles and loved the athentic and unique sound of the trio. Slava Tolstoy is a great band leader and wonderful guitar player. I can't say enough about how good this band is. -- William K, Hyannis Port, MA, 8/19/2006
• The trio was wonderful, I loved the sound and ecletic nature of the added classical guitar. They may the ceremony quite beautiful, as well as the cocktail hour. And they even stayed around for a little bit to aid in the delivery of our best man's speech. They were wonderful. -- Carie S, Jenkintown, PA, 6/17/2006
• Very happy with their performance for 3 hours at Bar Mitzvah reception lunch playing Klezmer, Jewish and related music. -- David D, Newton, MA, 12/24/2005
• My undergraduate society decided to host a Midwinter Masquerade party and needed a band that would perform unique live music. Fortunately for us, the International String Trio provided just this very service! Their original orchestration--violin, guitar, and upright bass--made for a delicious blend of music that was dancable yet refined, contemporary yet wonderfully vintage. In addition to quality muisc, the group was highly professional; I spoke with a band member directly on the phone, the band played precisely according to their very fair contract, and the musicians were amicable towards both hosts and guests. I highly recommend this talented group of professionals! -- Benjamin S, Hanover, NH, 2/18/2006
• We had a violinist and cellist perform at our wedding. Both were pleasant, professional, and outstanding musicians who played precisely what we wanted. They added immeasurably to the wedding, and we were delighted that we chose them. Thanks to all for making this happen! -- Thomas K, Boston, MA, 12/31/2005
• The group did a great job for us at our house party and concert for about 25 neighbors and friends. They played two sets with a short break between. The trio had a marvelously diverse repertoire: classical, jazz, world folk, standards. They played the specific pieces we had requested from their songlist and also picked some others that displayed their talents. I recommend the group highly! -- Doug H, Chichester, NH, 3/25/2007
• I was organzing a conference when we found out that the musicians we were planning on hiring has just disbanded, less than 1 week before our conference! i got in touch with the International String Trio, and was given a great price, and complete flexibility on what type of music we wanted (classical, jazz, etc). great communication, arrived exactly at their arranged time, and put on a great performance. in the end, conference was great, got a ton of compliments on the music, and will be using IST for all of our upcoming events. -- Kenneth K, Cambridge, MA, 12/3/2005
• They were so accommodating! Just for the event, they learned a song written by my brother in law as a wedding march. They were also very flexible in terms of time and all the guests said that they loved the music! -- Sarah K, Wellesley, MA, 6/8/2008
• They were fantasitc! They arrived early, were flexible and on top of all that- musically they were outstanding!!! They really got a sense of the crowd and even took a request! They made our event better, and we hope to use them again in the future. -- Gaiel T, Cambridge, MA, 6/10/2009
• Very professional. Quite talented with an endless songlist. Slava saw to every detail personally. Many thanks. -- Dan M, Newport, RI, 5/16/2009
• The Trio was superb. We couldn't have asked for a more professional and talented group of musicians. They performed during our ceremony and reception and the entire party was amazed at their ability to play classical and rock selections with style and enthusiasm. We are extremely happy and grateful that they were available for our special day. Barb and Bob -- Barbara C, Waterford, ME, 9/13/2008
