We had a cellist for our graduation event. He provided excellent background music, and an elegant touch for the ceremony.

The flute/guitar duo was amazing. They showed up early, played all the songs we requested, and even a special song for the baby who was watching them very intently. Having live music made my dad’s 80th birthday so memorable!

I would like to thank Bay Area Strings & Brass for providing a musician to play the trumpet at my mother's graveside service. I'm sure this was an unusual request but Georgina was extremely helpful and David, the musician, was wonderful. The music was perfect and made the day very special for our family.

The group played at our wedding. The musicians were timely, professional and experienced. They worked with our soloist. Georgina was very available to discuss special arrangements over the phone and by text beforehand. The music was enjoyed by all, but especially by Jay, the groom, and myself. I was very pleased to have discovered Bay Area Strings and Brass because they provided exactly what I was looking for with a minimum of work on my part. I felt the price was fair, and I would hire them again.

Dan Rieter was an amazing cellist who performed at my 30th birthday. He sounded amazing and all my guest enjoyed him and his skills. I had a few songs that he never played before, but once he began you would think he played those tunes his entire life. Until the next time!! Thanks Bay Area all strings and bass for everything

About
My name is Georgina. I am owner and manager of Bay Area All Strings & Brass. My friend Annamaria and I formed our first string quartet in Budapest, Hungary over twenty years ago. When we moved to the U.S. we reformed our group and started playing for Weddings and Special Events.
Throughout the years I have worked with hundreds of clients and their various requests resulted in the expansion of my business. I now offer all kinds of instrument combination besides the regular String Quartet. We love the Strings and Trumpet combos and our Royal Trumpets. I work with professional musicians from the Bay Area. These players are very experienced musicians and have played on hundreds of Weddings and Events.
We are based in Mountain View, CA. Our musicians are performing for Weddings, Holiday Parties, Graduations, Company Events, Birthdays, Garden Parties
