Their extensive repertoire had every song we’d envisioned for the event. I won’t soon forget hearing their string trio’s beautiful renditions as I walked down the aisle. Thank you Sunset Strings!"

  • "Phenomenal! We hired Sunset Strings (quartet) to play at our wedding ceremony—our only regret is not having them stay to play the reception as well! Their repertoire is amazing and it was a breeze working with them to figure out the feel for each stage of our ceremony. We picked some specific songs but let them decide the rest, and it was just magical. Highly recommend."

    Laura, Bride, Sunken Gardens - St Pete

Thank you so much!!"

  • "Sunset Strings did an amazing job at our wedding on May 6th at Sunken Gardens. They were easy to work with in selecting our ceremony and cocktail hour music. We even asked them to play the Mission Impossible Theme when our security agent ringbearer walked down the aisle. It was a hit! They showed up on time and our guests were so impressed. Thank you, Sunset Strings, for being a part of our beautiful day!"

    Susan E, Bride, Sunken Gardens - St Pete

  • "Our string duo from Sunset Strings was incredible, and the perfect touch to our wedding. My husband and I were recently married at The Vinoy and wanted string musicians who could match the classic and elegant feel of the hotel. However, given the younger crowd at our wedding, we also wanted string musicians who could play string music with a modern twist. The incredibly talented musicians at Sunset Strings were able to seamlessly transition from classic music for our ceremony to more modern songs for our cocktail hour. Our string duo were very easy to work with, showed up on time, and played absolutely beautiful music for our wedding. Thank you to Erica and team at Sunset Strings for adding the perfect touch to our wedding!"

    James M, Groom, The Vinoy Renaissance Hotel - St Pete

    Caitlin S, Bride, The Barn at Crescent Lake - Odessa

We requested a special song for us that wasn't in their repertoire and they accommodated us. We appreciated it so much!"

    Amber M, Bride, Tampa Bay Watch - Tierra Verde

  • "Words can't describe how incredible our wedding ceremony was. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the quartet performance sounded and how classy it was having strings play before and during the ceremony. We married on May 6th at the Ringling Museum in front of the Cadzan mansion. It was such a seamless and effortless process working with Erica and the Sunset Strings Team. They were very professional and responsive as they assisted me in creating the perfect song selections that were romantic and timeless. Another major plus was the team has a vast selection of songs in their catalog. We were super excited to see certain songs listed. We chose some classical pieces as well as contemporary songs and the transitions were smooth and everything was perfectly timed. I felt so secure and overjoyed with happiness as I walked down the aisle completely immersed in the music and looking at at my smiling husband. It was truly and honor and a privilege to have such talented musicians perform at our wedding making it an unforgettable event. Our guests gushed that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Book this team for your wedding, you will be glad that you did. They are spectacular!"

    Patricia H, Bride, Ringling Museum - Sarasota

Every single song was beautiful, the sound was top notch, very professional, best of the best hands down. All my family members were completely mesmerized with how beautiful the violin music was. They brought an electric violin and amplified sound system and it was just perfect. Made my wedding so memorable. Very professional and on time. Look no further, THIS IS IT!"

    Lindsey R, Bride, Museum of Fine Arts - St Pete

  • "A perfect touch! I’ve always known that I’ve wanted a string performance at my wedding. Right off the bat, Erica was so easy to connect with via email and I was immediately intrigued by their long repertoire available. We even asked them to play a song that wasn’t on their list, and they were able to accommodate it with no problem! I had a string duo for both ceremony and cocktail hour and it was absolutely beautiful. I really wish I could have enjoyed it more myself but as a Bride I was off taking pictures. However, I received multiple compliments on them and wouldn’t change a thing! It was such a nice touch having them and really added a a relaxing and romantic vibe. I highly recommend Sunset Strings!"

    Alexa C, Bride, Mixon Fruit Farms - Bradenton

    Chris R, Father of the Bride, Armature Works - Tampa

  • "Absolutely amazing! We ended up having to postpone our wedding about 40 days out due to covid, but still did a small minimony. Erica was very easy to work with on switching dates and we also hired her for our minimony. She was absolutely wonderful even though our day was a bit chaotic and we did not have a day planner to give her direction. 100% recommend."

    Shatasha B, Bride, Sun 'N Lake Golf Club - Sebring

  • "Amazing - Totally enchanting! We couldn't be happier with the music selection and professionalism of Sunset Strings. We walked down the aisle to songs we hand-picked and it was very special. Erica was very responsive and answered my calls the moment I had any questions. The payment process was simple and very upfront. No hidden fees. They played all the modern upbeat songs we asked during cocktail hour. It made our event sophisticated yet trendy. Would recommend anytime! I can't tell you how many people asked about the strings after the wedding looking to book them for upcoming events. It was a great experience."

    Sarah R, Bride, Westshore Yacht Club - Tampa

  • "Amazing for an Intimate Wedding! I am so glad that we hired Sunset Strings for our intimate wedding this past month. Alvaro, our violinist, did an outstanding job playing music for our guests. He played everything we had requested, and then threw in some other songs as well. He even stayed to play some music so we could have our first dance! He went above and beyond to make sure that our intimate wedding was everything we could have hoped for. Sunset Strings was also very flexible with our timeline and any changes we had to make to follow COVID guidelines. I would 100% recommend them for your wedding or even intimate ceremony!"

    Kelly C, Bride, Sandpearl Resort - Clearwater

  • "Sunset Strings was INCREDIBLE!!! If you are looking to have live music/strings at your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception, I would highly highly recommend them. My husband and I got married in Sarasota last weekend and booked a duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They arrived promptly on time, looked extremely professional, and sounded amazing. Everyone complimented me on their performance and sound. Our wedding size was around 65 people and the duo was perfect for sound. Before the wedding, everything was seamless working with Erica. She was so friendly and helpful and always responded quickly. I requested three songs for our ceremony that weren't in their list of songs, and Erica was able to find sheet music for all three of them. I did have to pay a small fee for the editing one of the sheets but it was totally worth it to have the song I envisioned! I am so glad I chose to extend my time with them to have them play during cocktail hour as well. It was beautiful and created the magical vibes I had always dreamed of :) totally worth every dollar I spent! Again, HIGHLY recommend them!!"

    Megan B, Bride, Powel Crosley Estate - Sarasota

  • "Amazing the second time around! Two years ago we hired Sunset Strings to play at our wedding. They played flawlessly and perfectly complemented our ceremony. My only regret was that as the bride I really did not get to hear them play. Fast forward to our two year anniversary two weeks ago, my sweet husband secretly scheduled Sunset Strings to play a private concert just for us. They played all the songs I was unable to enjoy at our wedding. It was the most amazing night and such a treat listening to the beautiful music they played two years ago... the best night of my life."

    Travis F, Groom, Davis Islands Garden Club - Tampa

  • "Beautifully Memorable! The music was beautiful and perfect at our wedding. Having a violinist at our wedding was one of the few "must haves" in our planning. I have been playing myself for several years, so it was very special to me. Working with Erica and Sunset Strings to setup our arrangements was a simple and pleasant experience. The online portal makes it easy to communicate and she provides several options to personalize your special day. The music on our wedding day is something I will never forget the sound of. It added such an intimate element that made every moment during our ceremony even more significant. For what a rush of emotions you feel that day and your mind being so busy, I can honestly say I remember hearing every hum of the violin strings and it brings a very calming and happy feeling to my heart. I highly recommend Sunset Strings to any Bride or someone planning a special event. They will provide the most lovely and beautiful sounds to your event. I am thrilled that we did!"

    Alexis S, Bride, Hotel Zamora - St Pete

  • "Book this vendor, you will not regret it. I must say we did not book Sunset Strings for a wedding but an anniversary celebration in our church. Their playing was wonderful, the music selected was perfect for our event, I could not be more pleased. Everyone in attendance was blown away & still talking about the performance (which was May 7, 2016). The musicians were lovely, gracious, professionals. Punctual (very important) & ready to perform in minutes. I would certainly book again for future events."

    Ashlyn B, Bride, Kapok Events Center - Clearwater

  • "Erica and Dan are both amazing. Erica helped us every step of the way to select our music, made recommendations and was extremely flexible as we came under wedding pressures and had a hard time deciding between a trio vs. quartet and instrument combination. She was extremely patient and responsive as well - I never had to worry about her not getting back to me and it quickly became clear our ceremony was in great hands. ​ I would say they were the highlight of the ceremony - the samples of the music on the website sounded great but the live performance can not be compared! It created the perfect ambiance of elegance during ceremony, while also being able to add upbeat, contemporary songs as we transitioned from ceremony to happy hour. We actually asked Sunset Strings to perform our first dance as well as Mother / son dance which was a no brainer. Although they have not performed the song we selected for our dance, they had no issue learning the tune and did a phenomenal job performing it! ​ They have a lot of flexibility, a very diverse song list and are always happy to learn a new piece. Hopefully it is obvious from my review, I am a huge fan of Erica, Dan and Sunset Strings and would recommend it to any couple looking to add live music to their Big Day."

We are definitely recommending you and will be calling for our next big event."

I had a traditional Catholic wedding, so I was at first nervous about using outside musicians. But Sunset Strings was familiar with the sequence of events and was able to flow seamlessly with the church organist and cantor. Having them play my entrance song was a great choice since I tend to walk fast and they were able to watch the whole time and perfectly time it out for the ending to happen right when I reached the altar. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for live ceremony musicians!"

  • "You all were wonderful and the music was lovely. Our guests very much enjoyed it, and you all really created a beautiful vibe for us!"

    Michele L, Bride, Resort at Longboat Key Club - Longboat Key

  • "You can't hire a better string group in the Tampa area. There are so many vendors out there that do music as a side job. Sunset strings are professional musicians as a career and all have college degrees in music. These guys are top-notch. They might be a little pricier but their sound is a world apart better than the next vendor. Their knowledge is extensive. They can accommodate almost any song and will learn new music if you request something not on their repertoire. They are of the highest caliber and it shows. Your guests will be impressed and if you have guests with a music background they will be delighted with the excellence of Sunset Strings."

    Laura H, Bride, Opal Sands Resort - Clearwater

  • “Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Very easy to work with and adding live music to our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. I would highly recommend this group!”

    Murray M, Groom, Ritz-Carlton - Sarasota

  • “He was amazing, I had 4 specific songs I wanted him to play at my wedding he learned and nailed it, so if you want different or traditional this is your guy.”

    Mari C, Bride, Coquina Beach - Bradenton

  • “Highly recommend the musicians at Sunset Strings! The booking and planning process was so easy and the music was such a beautiful and perfect touch for our ceremony. If you are on the fence about it, do it!”

    Linda B, Bride, Barrington Hill Farm - Dade City

  • “Hiring the quartet was all I could have ever expected and more. The music filled the garden concourse and was magnificent and soothing all at the same time. The five flower girls under 5 walked down the aisle to Cinderella's A Wish, and I think the music really worked on them because they were all completely wonderful and calm. They then played for cocktail hour and the sounds reverberated through the expansive hall, making it an elegant and warm affair. As I requested, they played some Queen tunes, some Bruno Mars, but I was running around and with pictures, did not have as much of an opportunity to experience the music as our guests, but I know everyone loved them. My daughter the Bride was so happy I insisted on the quartet. Our DJ was wonderful for the reception dancing, but the ceremony could not have been more special thanks to Sunset Strings. The Bride said it was an amazing touch. From the first email with Erica, communication was excellent. If I could do one thing differently, it would have been to hire them for an additional hour to play through dinner so I could have heard them more before the DJ. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend. If you have to cut corners on the cake or the flowers, do what you have to do to hire these amazing musicians.”

    Nannette W, Mother of the Bride, Museum of Fine Arts - St Pete

  • “I had a small simple wedding and they made it so magical! The violinist played a song of my choice and was so friendly! After the ceremony he stepped it up with some lovely bluegrass! Highly recommend for any special events!”

    Ashley M, Bride, Edgewater Park - Dunedin

  • “I had such a great experience finding the right musician to play the violin. Very professional and the price was reasonable. I used around 2 hours between ceremony and cocktail hour. All my guests were very pleased with how beautiful the music was played at my wedding.”

    Rebecca W, Bride, Treasury on the Plaza - St Augustine

  • “My daughter’s elegant oceanfront wedding was complete thanks to Sunset Strings. They were flexible and easy to work with. The ambiance their performance added to the event was perfect for the type of elegance we wanted to add to a beach wedding. They were flexible and even worked with another musician I had hired. They played requested Disney love songs, classical favorites and current pop hits too. It was surprising to hear Mozart and then John Legend. It was simply wonderful. I can never fully express how much them being there really made this wedding complete. Our guests said it was their favorite part. Don't hesitate one second when making this decision. It's the best money we spent hands down. Dan and Erica were wonderful.”

From the time we contacted them to the end of their performance we were thrilled with the professionalism, attention to detail and, of course, their talent, which was amazing. It was important to us that the songs we wanted for the procession of the bridal party and the Bride were on point and in sync with our vision. As with everything else, the musicians executed our desires flawlessly. We would highly recommend Sunset Strings for any Bride and Groom searching for the perfect string performance. If anything, I wish I booked them for not only the hour before, during and immediately after the ceremony, but for the cocktail hour as well. Kudos to this vendor who delivered more than we ever expected!”

    Lisa R, Bride, Palmetto Riverside B&B - Bradenton

He was a great resource during the planning process and always responded to my emails. On the day of our wedding, he was prompt and was dressed professionally.

Besides being a gifted violinist, he is a gentleman and we were blessed to have him as part of our wedding day.”

Erica was our point of contact for booking and was incredibly professional and assisted with any questions I had throughout the process in a timely manner.
