For nearly a decade offering quality string music to weddings and events in the Northwest Florida!
We had the violinist play for our beach wedding. It was the perfect addition to our intimate first look and ceremony. I recommend him 100% to help create an a lovely atmosphere and take your event to the next level.

Absolutely amazing! Super professional, remained in contact and responded promptly. All of our requested songs were played beautifully. Guests commented on how impressed they were! Thankful for their help with our wedding!
Fortissimo Strings made our wedding so special. They're great to work with, very responsive, and accommodating! We had a cello player and a violinist. It was perfect for our guest count around 110. Thank you Fortissimo Strings!
Response from Fortíssimo Strings:
Thank you! We love making our couples happy 😊
I wish I had gotten to hear more of the violin music! As the bride, I was hiding in the room until walking down the aisle, but all the wedding guests were soooo impressed! The song he played during the ceremony was so beautiful! Thank you so much for the playing at our wedding!!!!
Made our ceremony feel so sweet and special with a violin playing! Loved every min of it
He made our small family wedding even more intimate by playing specially requested music. He also jumped in with continuing Here Comes The Bride when more time was needed to get down the isle due to the wind and a veil issue taking longer than the record music. He made our day perfect! I would highly recommend him and plan to use his services for future entertaining.
Response from Fortíssimo Strings:
Thank you Kim, your day was truly special and I was honored to be there for it!
They were very professional and did a magnificent job. Will have them again, at an event.
My company, Sweet Harmony, hired Fortissimo Strings to play for one of our bookings on Florida's Emerald Coast. They did a terrific job! The client was very pleased.
Throughout all the changes with Covid and hurricane Sally, Matheus was always willing to alter plans and do what he could to accommodate. He played along with a guitarist at my wedding and it could not have been better! I would recommend him over and over again! They played some classics along with some new contemporary songs!!
