District Strings

This is the 2nd event for which I’ve hired District Strings. They are very professional in their communication, attire and performance. They always make sure they understand exactly what you’re looking for and then deliver. The best!

Couldn’t have asked for a better duo for my surprise proposal. They are so professional, they played all the song requests I had even the ones they didn’t know. 100% recommend

Even when scheduling of wedding had changed they adapted seamlessly. They sounded great! Everyone loved them

District strings was great. They had a good mix of classical and contemporary songs in their repertoire

We had District Strings Guitar and Cello duo play for our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely magical! Working with Erin throughout the whole process was so easy, she was very responsive and answered our many questions. We ended up having them play songs from their list, as well as asked for a few arrangements. They even were able to play a specific section of a song for right when we kissed and walked back down the aisle. It was more than we could ever ask for- and I am forever grateful for the music and musicians that made our day so special!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The violin music charmed everyone

I wanted to take time to let everyone know how amazing our cellist and violinist were. We requested a Godfather song, and they played it perfectly. Erin was so sweet and very detailed orientated. This was the most stress-free vendor you will ever have. They were on time and dressed for the occasion. Again, I would highly recommend. This was the perfect piece to my wedding, everyone loved it and we received so many compliments!!! If you're thinking about it ....DO IT, you will not regret hiring them for your special event!!

Erin was really amazing. Offered a great list of songs to pick from and even learned a new song for me :) (Lover by TSwift). It really really made the wedding ceremony special.

We hired District Strings to play music at our wedding ceremony and couldn't be happier with them! They played beautifully at our wedding and we are so glad we hired them. Erin was great to work with—we had an idea of what music we wanted to hear, but needed a little help thinking about style and a cohesive set list. Erin was great at providing suggestions, as well as taking into account stylistic requests for certain pieces. For example, the piece for the bridal entrance could easily have come off as to whimsical or too melodramatic. They played it JUST RIGHT! We are so appreciative of the care, consideration, and talent District Strings put into making our ceremony music special.

We were out of the room while Fistrict Strings performed but received several compliments from guests. In preparation for the event they were responsive and accommodating.

I recently hired District Strings (Erin on Cello, Rebecca on violin) to play for my mother's 90th birthday. I gave them just a few ideas for a playlist, and they did an amazing job of hitting those requested pieces as well as selecting others from their repertoire. They arrived on time and were pleasant and professional throughout.

We hired District Strings for our daughter’s wedding,and they were spectacular. Our guests raved about how they played modern music with such style, verve, and talent. Thank you District Strings!!!

The two musicians that came to our event were wonderful. Their talent was obviously showcased but they were also kind, personable and courteous. Logistics were also straightforward and easy. I will definitely use them again.

This group firmly set our wedding into the 'glamorous' category. One often forgets how powerful it is to have acoustic live musicians during a service and at a reception. It is a stunning addition that really sets the event apart. This group was responsive, extremely talented, could read the room's mood, and was perfect with its timing. Very grateful.

District Strings provided beautiful music on our wedding day! We had a cellist and violinist, as well as a soprano that we asked they select.

The team was flexible and accommodating, arrived on time and even provided extra music after the recessional during the family photos.

Erin is very easy to communicate with and prompt with her responses. We would absolutely work with them again!

The interactions in setting up the performance were easy and efficient. The actual performance was lovely - will certainly book them again!!! Thank you District Strings for a beautiful event.

We held a concert for my Dad's birthday. District Strings' string trio were great. They accommodated all of our many musical requests and helped us make the event a safe space. The players were professional, on time, and friendly; the music itself -- a mix of classical and Christmas -- was lovely.

The trio performed at our Co-Op building last week and it was absolutely wonderful! They performed outside under a tent for our residents on the deck and those listening from the balcony. One of our residents even asked if she could book them for her upcoming Wedding. The music was lovely, calming and so well performed. Thank you so much for serenading us all!

I had the pleasure of booking District Strings for my DC wedding and they exceeded my expectations! They were friendly, organized and were really experienced with my wedding location (and weddings in general). I requested special arrangements that they absolutely nailed, it was perfect! Also, I had to adjust/reschedule my wedding due to COVID and they were very accommodating and understanding. This is a group of very talented people who clearly love what they do. I had a string duo (Erin & Sandy) and it worked perfectly for our ceremony. Highly recommend!

We hired district strings for our wedding and it was perfect. The music was lovely in the greenhouse setting and all of the guests fawned over the quartets reverberating sound. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect chamber group. They were so professional and wanted to cater to my every need. Would definitely hire again without a doubt!

We booked District Strings for our wedding at the DC War Memorial. Erin and Sandy were professional in every sense, and their music really made our wedding feel intimate and special. Erin was super delightful and easy to work with and very knowledgable. She helped tremendously by putting together our requests into a thoughtful and cohesive sequence. We couldn't be happier with the gig!

We had Erin at our elopement as a solo cellist. She greatly added to the ambiance during her time there and knew when to time her playing to the appropriate parts of the ceremony without any direction. She was also very understanding of the timing we needed for our first dance and changed her playing to accommodate for that. We highly, highly recommend Erin and District Strings!

We booked District Strings for an hour of outdoor Baroque string music to celebrate my dads 70th birthday. Arranging the event with Erin from afar was easy and everyone who attended the event loved it. We attended via video conference so couldn’t get the full live experience, but it was a perfect gift for a classical music lover who hasn’t been able to go to the symphony due to Covid19.

Highly recommend District Strings for your event!!

Erin was absolutely wonderful! She talked with me before our event about our music selection and delivered a great performance. She arrived on time and was ready to perform as agreed.
I would without hesitation use her again!

Music was for my son's wedding ceremony. Muscians arrived on time and played beautifully and were so easy to work with. Was a wonderful experience. Would hire again.

Erin, from District Strings, was amazing. Erin played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was beautiful and she even was able to loop the music and exceeded our expectations. All our guests were impressed. Highly recommend hiring for your event.

My wife and I just loved working with this company. We booked District Strings for our wedding day and the service we received was everything we hoped for and more. We booked a cello and violin duo and they sounded exactly like the audios that were available on the website. Also, all of the songs that we selected from their long catelog list sounded great. They let us arrange the exact order for both the ceremony and reception. Everyone who attended our wedding noted how romantic it was and many attributed that to the musicians. Thank you so much for being exactly what we hoped for. It made our wedding day that much easier to enjoy.

The District Strings performance was great! A tight ensemble playing a variety of music, including classical music that was familiar to the crowd as well as tasteful arrangements of popular music. They were on time. They were flexible about when to break, working with the program. They played continually—Did not take long breaks between pieces. They really worked hard! Very pleasant and professional women.

We highly recommend District Strings for reasonably priced live music for your ceremony or cocktail hour in or around DC. They were one of the few music providers who didn’t bat an eye at our ceremony location on the Mall at the DC War Memorial (read: no parking). They were also very fairly priced and easy to work with. They offer recommendations for music if you are not sure and had an extensive song list. They do require coverage for inclement weather, which was a good thing for us since it poured during our ceremony. They were very laid back about having to play underneath the Memorial and kept the ceremony moving along. Our guests really enjoyed the music!

District Strings were super responsive throughout the planning process. They were the perfect ceremony music and then turned around and played during our cocktail hour. Our guests loved their music selection.

Our experience with District Strings was exceptional. The String Quartet added that special touch of beautiful music for everyone.

We lean on District Strings a lot to help with our wedding ceremony, and they were amazing! They worked with us to make the whole thing easy, and were responsive, professional, and calm during our very hectic wedding day!

I can't recommend them enough!

District Strings did an awesome job on our wedding day!! The added such a romantic touch to our wedding ceremony. They have a huge list of songs to choose from and will give you advice if you have any questions. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with through the whole process. I am so happy that we chose them for our ceremony.

Erin was awesome and played beautifully.

Played requested songs, sounded great, and were on time. Made the night very special!

Great performance.

Katelin, Alexa and Erin played beautifully at our daughter's wedding. Their instrumentation was masterful as they mixed classical with contemporary selections. We asked them to accompany the church pianist and singer on The Prayer and they lifted this beautiful song and created a memory for us (with only a few minutes practice with the pianist). I highly recommend District Strings for any memorable event! 5 Stars!

The audience was captivated, engaged and intrigued displayed by applause and gasps of gratitude. The duo violin and piano with a splash of opera was a perfect paring for the occasion.

I manage a non-profit, and hired District Strings for a fundraising event. They were professional, friendly, dressed nicely, and played a wide variety of songs. My guests were very impressed, and complimented the music all evening! Their pricing is very reasonable as well. I will absolutely use these musicians again for upcoming events!

The trio from District Strings was exceptional. Our wedding was on 9/19/15 at Maggiano's in Friendship Heights and the music provided by this trio was perfect for our wedding. The crew was always responsive, professional, and highly talented. They played some wedding favorites as well as honoring our own requests. The greatest moment of my life was seeing my beautiful bride Angela walk to me to join my hand to our request of "I can't help falling in love" by Elvis. Thank you ladies for enhancing this memory that will live on forever.

We had two of the members of District Strings perform for our group of senior citizens. They were extremely talented and talked about the pieces they were playing and answered questions at the end of their performance. I would definitely book them again!

They were amazing! Very professional, extremely talented and VERY enjoyable! I am very please that we hired to perform for our group!

It is hard to capture all of the positive things I have to say about District Strings, specifically Erin and Kaitlin, who were hired to play for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in this short review. I was at a bit of a loss when it came to who I wanted to play during the ceremony and I am beyond lucky I found District Strings. Kaitlin was professional and prompt in all of her communication, the group was affordable, and they were so easy to work with. I gave them very little direction in terms of what songs I wanted played and they were able to create their own playlist and play beautifully with very little guidance from me. I received numerous compliments about the music from my guests after they finished playing. I would highly recommend District Strings!

The district strings arrived on time, set up and played the perfect music for the party we had. The music was perfect, just the right volume and added exactly the touch we wanted to the event. If you are looking for a string trio, look no further. Excellent music, totally professional and easy to work with.

We had Kait and Erin from District Strings play the music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on 5/9/15 and they were outstanding! On top of being very affordable, they learned a song specifically for the bridal entrance and performed it fantastically. We could not have asked for better musicians for our special day and would recommend them to anyone!

I have only wonderful comments regarding these three lovely and talented women! They were on time; they played exquisitely; our guests thoroughly enjoyed their music and the ambiance they provided; and most importantly, they added that "special touch" to our daughter's intimate outdoor wedding.
They were pleasant and professional to work with before the wedding. All questions were answered promptly.
Have no hesitation in booking them for your event!!!!

I had a unique request and Kaitilin did a great job of listening to my needs , addressing my concerns and providing feedback from the initial request to post performance. She delivered a great performance that was enjoyed by all and I would definitely use her services again and refer her to others.
