Silver Strings Ensemble

Silver Strings was such a wonderful edition to our dinner party. They were professional, the music was beautiful and it was just the right sound level for conversation and enjoyment. I would most definitely use them again for an event.

Really enjoyed Mariya’s performance. She was easy to work with, showed up on time and learned at least one new piece that I requested. Thank you Mariya!

Mariya and her team executed the songs so perfectly and both my fiancé and I were in tears hearing the songs. My fiancé didn’t have a song to walk down the isle to initially, but when he made a quick last-minute decision to have one on the day of the wedding, both Mariya and her cellist were on it and figured out a song to play gracefully within minutes. It was so beautiful to have Silver Strings play at our wedding. They even playing during our cocktail pie and every song was beautiful. I highly recommend having both a violinist and cellist 🤩 I would hire them again if I had another event. Their attention to detail was incredible. Thank you!

Hired Mariya for a violin performance in the park (engagement proposal). She accommodated my requests for dour different songs across different genres including country and pop songs from the 50s, 2010s and 2023. She was great at communicating and flexible when needed. Would highly recommend her.

Mariya is professional, talented, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her if you need a violinist!

She was on time, kind and played beautifully.

She was lovely, communicated well, made sure she was on time, and made our event so special! We will definitely request again for other events :)

They were accommodating and helpful with music selection. I was too busy to talk with them about timeline stuff the day of, but they were very professional and adaptable. Finding a violinist was one of the hardest parts of wedding planning, but the price and more importantly the quality was all worth it.

I am appreciative that Mariya could compliment our event with her live music, she has a big selection of songs and the flexibility of playing music of your preference with her violin.
It's always a more genuine gesture to have a live musician for your event that brings a more emotional and romantic tone to any occassion. In our case, it was for our wedding!

She's great at responding and love that if there's a song you want specifically, she will learn it.

What a pleasure to have such a prompt and professional performance on such short notice!

I hired Mariya to be a solo violinist for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and am SO thankful I did. Her music was beautiful, and her range of songs she can play was awesome. No matter what request I threw at her, she could do it. I was able to have all my special songs played for my big day, and she was so professional and talented; we got lots of comments from guests at the end of the night about what a great job she did. Mariya was also very kind and patient as I struggled with song selection until the last minute - who knew it would be the hardest choice of all?? But she took it with grace and brought my vision of a perfect romantic ceremony to life.

I hired her for my wedding! My guest loves her! She was professional and gave my wedding the romantic touch I was looking for. In recommend her 100%

We planned our wedding in less than 2 weeks. We were so happy that Mariya was available on a very short notice. She has a great selection of classic and modern wedding music, and was very accommodating to our specific requests on prelude and postlude. Given that we didn’t have much time to plan, she made great recommendations for background music without us worrying about anything other than the prelude and postlude. She was punctual and very responsive throughout the process. Would love to have her for any even event in the future!

Mariya provided lovely music for my daughter's wedding! Thank you!

I would highly recommend hiring Mariya for your event. I hired her for my mountain elopement as a surprise to my future husband. She was willing to travel to the location and was very communicative throughout the process. She was willing to learn some of our favorite songs to play on the day! She showed up on time and was even willing to hike with us a little bit to get to the perfect spot. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we had to cut the time short as it was raining and freezing cold, but we absolutely enjoyed the time that we did have. Mariya is a talented violinist!

Mariya did an amazing job playing at our wedding. She is so knowledgeable and her music was phenomenal. From the planning process all the way up to the day of the wedding, she exceeded our expectations. She even hiked with her gear up the trail! Her music really set the mood and environment for the ceremony and we could not be any more grateful.

We had the pleasure of having Mariya play at our mountain top wedding. It was the perfect touch to a magical day. She was punctual, professional and played everything exactly how we planned it. Our wedding would not have been as wonderful without her.

Thank you so much for providing exactly the right musical addition to what turned out to be a perfect day. With little direction, you performed wonderfully for the event!

Mariya was amazing! She made the ceremony just feel so intimate and so romantic! Thank you so much!

Mariya hiked 2 miles round trip with her instrument and supplies for our intimate wedding ceremony. Try to find an artist who will do that! It’s not easy to find, probably because it’s not a small ask! Mariya did it without complaint and made our event perfect. It’s just what I always pictured. Thank you!

I would give 6 stars if I could. Mariya did an amazing job at our wedding. Not only was her performance flawless, she was also easy to work with and had excellent suggestions. We could not have been happier. I would recommend Silver Strings Ensemble for any event, big or small.

Mariya and Erika did a beautiful job for our party. They arrived early and started right in. There were many that attended that evening that commented on the wonderful music. Thank you so much for adding that touch of specialness to the night!

Easy to work with and great performance! Wpuld definitely recommend to others for any occasion.

Mariya and her team are absolutely amazing when we worked together on my marriage proposal. I had a specific song that I wanted played and Mariya handled everything from finding the sheet music, to sending me a demo recording so that I could hear what it would sound like when played.

Communication was top notch and everything went exactly as planned. I highly recommend Mariya and would definitely work with her again for future events.

Mariya was amazing, she played our little elopement/wedding at the Stimson-Green Mansion on Saturday and she plays beautifully. She worked with my, now wife, and I to put together our processional and recessional songs and played a bunch of songs we requested afterward while we ate cake and visited. Then we had our first dance to a favorite Beatles song and it was absolutely perfect. Her timing is just right for all of these different cues and changes through our event. It was so lovely to have violin music in this beautiful old mansion while we got married in our vintage-modern clothing, the perfect touch to our event!

Hired to play for my wife and I to commemorate our engagement, and showed up even when we couldn’t get food delivered due to a sudden 4inch overnight snowfall! Thanks for making the event amazing!

She was enthusiastic, helpful, and communicative. She came out for our marriage proposal (in the middle of the 2021 Seattle Blizzard) - and performed beautifully! She played all the songs requested and blended them brilliantly, highly recommend!

Mariya surprised my girlfriend at home with her violin playing for a marriage proposal. Mariya was flexible with last minute changes and provided the perfect ambiance for a special night.

The music was perfect, the duo were professional and we received several compliments throughout the night. Our special requests were played with zero issues and their timing was always excellent. We had an amazing evening made all the more bet tree r by the music that they played.

Mariya was everything we expected. Communicative, flexible, talented and a pleasure to have at our wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Highly recommend.

Mariya was able to make my parents anniversary a really sweet and special one. They had to celebrate alone due to the current events of COVID-19. She agreed to go to their house, stand at their driveway, wear a mask, and play them romantic melodies from their past. They absolutely loved it and appreciated her keeping her distance from them. Will definitely rehire for future events.

Silver Strings Ensemble did a great job and they worked with me throughout the entire process of my marriage proposal. Mariya contacted me directed and was very professional. Even though I couldn't physically be present at the start of the proposal, they were able to work with my friends and everything went perfect. I look forward to working with Silver Strings Ensemble again for future events.

Mariya was very professional, easy to work with and very communicative. I would highly recommend her as a strolling violinist.

I hired a solo violinist for my wedding ceremony this past weekend. I instantly heard from Mariya of Silver Strings Ensemble . She had excellent communication with and me. I never hired a musician before so I didn’t know if they needed music to learn or how the process would go. All of my questions she answered and put any uncertainty away. We had met in person just once before the wedding and she informed me that she would just need to know which songs to play a few days before. A few days before the wedding I let Mariya know what songs to play. ON the day of the wedding without much if any guidance at all (certainly none from me-I was too busy getting ready) Mariya sat down and beautifully played all the songs in the exact order I asked. Myself and all of my guests as well as my officiant were so impressed and thought she was amazing! So all I can say is thank you to Mariya for making my day even more special.

I was planning a surprise wedding proposal and they were the missing piece that I was looking for!
They respond promptly. Show up on time. Chose great music. Flexible to work with. Good people who care about doing a good job.
I will definitely not hesitate to recommend them to anyone that I know!

Everything was perfect, they arrived on time and for a studio session.

We are very happy with the string quartet that performed for our wine and cheese client event. Our attendees and staff had nothing but great things to say about them. They were very professional and easy to work with. They arrived on time, prepared and were the perfect addition to our event. I would highly recommend them!

Communication was prompt. Details were Thorough. Professional all the way through the process. The performance was truly lovely. The perfect background music for a very special day.

They showed up promptly and performed fantastically. Next time we will definitely book more than just the duet. Wonderful to have them!

They arrived on time, and performed better than expected. Great sound! The only issue was that they caused damage to the floor with one of their instruments that they had to place the end on the floor. Unfortunately it is hard wood, and the damage will remain. However, we did not notice until afterward, and I should have seen it during the time. Hope they will make sure to be aware of it in the future. To be fair, we did not bring it up to them, mainly because we did not notice until after they were gone. We will contact them again for this years party!

We had three members of District Strings perform for our group of senior citizens. They were very talented and professional!

They were perfectly professional , charming and extremely talented with a wide repertoire for me to select the music from...

We first met Mariya our violinist a few months before our event. She was prompt and curtious and very adaptable. When we were struggling selecting our wedding ceremony selections she didn't hesitate to send us a large variety of music pieces she was familiar with. The biggest surprise came from us wanting special custom songs to perform and she was able to nail all three!! Everyone at our wedding couldn't stop talking about how beautiful she sounded. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to all our family and friends seeking a violinist. Great experience and the price was reasonable!

Silver Strings Ensemble exceeded my expectations. Mariya was wonderful. She was prompt and professional and demonstrated just that as she provided entertainment for our Mother's Day Tea Event. Our guests were very pleased with Mariya's graceful performance and the music that waltzed off her Violin. I would strongly recommend Mariya for anyone looking for a Violinist. She helped make our event a memorable one. Thank You Mariya.

I hired them for a surprise destination proposal at Chateau Ste michelle outside seattle. Im from texas so i have a lot of arrangements to make and they made it so easy. Great communication. A perfect touch for the special day. I highly recommend them!

This group was a joy to work with! They came to our rehearsal (on a Friday @ 5 pm, in Kirkland area and was early!) to familiarize themselves with the layout & flow of the ceremony.
Wedding day they were there early, set up and performed beautifully. Mariya was an expert when it came to helping us choose music for ceremony & cocktail hour. Thank you for being there!

We hired Silver Strings to play at our daughter's wedding and were really pleased with their work!
They're very helpful and easy to work with and are very flexible.
The music was beautiful and we'd recommend them to anyone!
Great job!
