LOVE the International Strings!! Great energy, virtuosos of their instruments, nuanced playing (and singing). Plan to hire them again at all future events in my showroom!!
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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
