Reviews & Testimonials

“We chose Montalvo Strings to play for our wedding ceremony. Right from the start, they communicated very well and took time to understand what and how we wanted our ceremony music to be, with multiple check-ins throughout the planning process. We chose non-conventional songs that they specifically created custom arrangements for. the day of the wedding, our music flowed beautifully and seamlessly. We are so pleased to have worked with Montalvo Strings for our special day! They are incredibly talented!”

“We had a string trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and everything sounded beautiful. We picked a few non-traditional songs and they arranged them perfectly. The transition from the ceremony into cocktail hour felt seamless, and the music really set the tone for the day. Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding.”

“Montalvo Strings played beautifully at our wedding in Sonoma! Even though we started our ceremony 20 minutes late, they filled in the time and basically played a very nice private concert for all our guests as we waited to get started. They were also very organized, very pleasant to work with, arrived ahead of schedule on the wedding day, and looked and sounded great. If you need music for your wedding or another event, I would highly recommend Montalvo Strings. They will not let you down!”

“We are so happy Montalvo Strings played at our wedding ceremony! Not only are they professional and extremely talented, but they also learned three new songs just for us. Being able to have the songs that are special to us played during the ceremony made everything come together perfectly. Montalvo Strings helped make a beautiful moment more than memorable.”

Before the ceremony

As guests walk in and get seated, we enjoy playing light classical music for a pre-wedding prelude.

Here, we play the classic Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by Bach!
