Sweetwater Strings

Sweetwater Strings were absolutely amazing, we are so glad we chose them for our wedding day! I used to play Cello and have such a love for strings so I just had to have them for our special day! We chose 2 duos and 2 locations for our day They traveled quite the distance to my venue in Superior and Fountain Hills and tailored their playlists to my specifications and brought tears my eyes when I walked down the aisle to my favorite song "The Ludlows" my absolute dream come true since the first time I heard it and then kept the party going with contemporary hits at the reception . It was 104 -108 degrees between the venues and they weren't phased one bit. They were just wonderful and my guests were so moved by their performances.Talk about talent. I would recommend them to anyone!!! More...

I was presented the Sweetwater Strings as an option for our ceremony music by our amazing wedding planner. I did also have a choice of a few others, and I am definitely 150% happy with my choice. There website was fantastic, as unlike many others it really doesn't allow you to hear what different combinations of instruments would be like playing your pick of music. Very quickly we decided to have the violin and guitar and keep things simple. I can't tell you how AMAZING they were!!! Our guests kept asking us where we found them and couldn't believe how good they were. Honestly money well spent, and made for such a memorable ceremony. It sounded exactly like the songs we picked and even the cocktail music played afterwards was so perfect. Eily was so accommodating and responsive even until the very last minute even with song changes. I would so recommend Sweetwater over and over thank you!!!!!!! More...

I'm a big band person and I always knew that I when I got married I would want a string quartet for the ceremony and hors d'oeuvre hour. I always knew that I wanted it, but I never knew if it was something I could afford. Sweetwater Strings was a prayer to my answers. They have such reasonable prices and they do such a wonderful job! I received so many compliments about the string quartet and how wonderful they were and how they played so beautifully! Eily was so responsive to my emails and they played exactly what I had requested. If you are looking for a good string quartet, trio, or duo Sweetwater Strings is exactly who you want! Thank you so much for helping in making our wedding day just so much more special! More...

Sweetwater Strings did an amazing job at my wedding! They played beautifully and were extremely flexible. I was running a little behind because hair and makeup took longer than expected and then we had issues with my dress, but they remained professional and continued playing their beautiful music. Eily was great to work with. She was responsive and very helpful in answering my questions. I would highly recommend this vendor. Plus, their rates are affordable! Thank you! More...

We used Sweetwater Strings for our recent wedding at Gainey Ranch Golf Club at the end of September. Eily answered any questions I had during the planning and was really accommodating in my song requests for the ceremony. We selected Beauty & the Beast for the bridal party processional, Canon in D for the bride processional and We Found Love for the recessional. We utilized the string trio for a guest count of about 100 people, and they arrived on time. The group will also be in the attire of your choosing. We went with all black. The music was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned for our ceremony. We are so happy that we chose Sweetwater Strings for our ceremony music and would book this company again in the future. Thank you for being the sound of our ceremony! Krissy and Aubry More...

We used Sweetwater Strings for our wedding ceremony and cocktail reception music. Eily was very friendly with booking and flexible with our music options. We had a string trio and used mostly traditional music for the ceremony (we threw in Stairway to Heaven during the unity candle ceremony) and then modern pieces for our cocktail reception. It was very cool to be able to incorporate the music we like into soft, enjoyable music for our guests. More...

Having a string quartet at our wedding was such an amazing touch. Sweetwater Strings played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and did an amazing job! They had a long list of songs to pick from, and were very receptive to our special requests!

They stayed in the background, did their job amazingly, and guests kept commenting on how great they sounded! I would highly recommend Sweetwater Strings to all brides! More...

Eily was great. She was responsive and accommodating and so pleasant, as well as being a skilled violinist! She met with us a few weeks before the ceremony to discuss the overall tone and music style that we preferred. We wanted to use part of a pre-recorded song (The Prayer) and she made an MP3 of the portion that would be the processional as well as one for the recessional and then they played along with that recording. We were also impressed with her pretty extensive list of both classical and current music selections that they've commonly played at weddings. I make a point to review vendors, restaurants, and small businesses that are exceptional so I specifically asked her to send me a link so I could review her and her recommend her to others. More...

The violin and guitar duo created a perfect tone for our outdoors wedding. Eily made everything easy from picking the music to arranging the contract. Our wedding was in Arizona, but we were from Oklahoma, and I thought it might be hard trying to arrange everything from several states over. This could not have been easier and there were no last minute hassles to be dealt with. Wonderful timing and music. More...

I found Sweetwater Strings while searching for ceremony music in/around Phoenix. Their website is awesome -- it provides many samples of their work across all of the different instruments they have available. They were very quick to respond to my emails, and were great with suggestions for instrumentation based on the size of our wedding. We had a small wedding and ended up with a violin and cello duo. They were incredibly professional, and obviously had done many weddings before. I, the neurotic bride, had everything about the ceremony planned to the last letter, but I shouldn't have worried -- our musicians knew exactly what they were doing and when.

I know this is most likely the case with most brides, but my only regret is that as the bride I barely got to hear them! Our processional and recessional that I DID get to hear were beautiful, and I've had many compliments from guests that the rest of the ceremony as well and the pre- and postludes they played were lovely. They were easy to work with, showed up punctually, and did a beautiful job. More...

This was one of the best parts of our service! The violin music was beautiful and personal making people feel like they were enjoying a much more expensive, custom service. It was less expensive than paying the restaurant for a Sound system, but was TEN times better than plugging in an iPod. It was easy to communicate with Eliy via email to plan the wedding from afar, but she was right there on time and played throughout the agreed to time, generating more positive comments from my guests than anything else. Thank you Eily!!!!!! More...

This review is long over due. As with most brides, I had to work with a strict STRICT budget. I had a very informal wedding over at Papago Park and Sweetwater Strings upheld the class of it all!

Something goes wrong at every wedding and I was no exception. A good wedding band/musicians will play good music. An EXCEPTIONAL wedding band/musician will not only play good music but know how to "go with the flow"- this was the case with Sweetwater Strings. My wedding started an hour late and the whole structure of the reception got mixed up but they held it all together and made such a classy ambiance for my guests.

They were charming, presentable, kind, and affordable. God bless these people!! I had a violinist and guitarist - worked wonderfully.

Thank you, Sweetwater Strings!!!!!!!!!! More...

I cannot recommend Sweetwater Strings enough! We had the guitar/violin duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour at the Secret Garden. My husband is very particular about music. He is a musician himself, so when we found the guitar/violin duo we were looking for, he was very excited. He wanted to write his own music for part of the ceremony, and Sweetwater Strings allowed him to do that and played it PERFECTLY! He was so happy. The only thing I regret is not having a videographer so I could have heard the music myself. I did hear them play the Bridal March, and it sounded wonderful. My husband is also Chinese, and we requested a Chinese traditional song for the tea ceremony. Since both of our musicians also happened to be Chinese, they were able to recommend a beautiful song that was very fitting for that part of the ceremony. They are the best- I promise! More...
