What Makes a Singer With Strings So Special?

You get the words and the orchestra at the same time. The strings build the emotion, the voice tells your story, and the goosebumps start.

This is our most dramatic ceremony option. Picture "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey or "Skyfall" by Adele, a live voice soaring over three string players, and not a dry eye in the room.

Between verses the violins take the melody while the cello hums deep under the voice.

When Do the Singer and Strings Perform?

Right through your ceremony, with a song you've chosen for every moment that matters.

Guests arrive to a live prelude, and the chatter drops to a hum. Then comes your processional, with the violins carrying the voice as you walk, and your recessional as newlyweds. Have one of those sung and it's the song your guests remember.

After the ceremony, keep us playing through cocktail hour. A mix of sung songs and strings-only pieces gives your first hour as newlyweds a real sense of occasion.

What Does It Need at the Venue?

The strings play unplugged. We bring our own sound system for the vocals, and we arrive up to 20 minutes before your booking starts to set up and tune.
For the singer, we need a power outlet within 10 feet. Our instruments can't play in rain, cold or storms, so give us a covered spot and plan an indoor backup.

How Much Does String Trio + Vocals Cost?

Your aisle song with its words, and three string players lifting it as you walk.

Who Are the Musicians?

We're professional, degree-qualified singers and string players from Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory and Juilliard, and some of us have performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Live since 2009.

We sing and play together every weekend, so the voice comes in right on your first step down the aisle, and the strings are already there under it.

COUPLES SAY STRINGS AND A SINGER MADE THEIR CEREMONY SO, SO SPECIAL

“Red Soda played at our church ceremony. We had a string trio with a vocalist, and they really set the mood and made the ceremony so, so special. The string trio is so elegant, and organizing the music was so easy.”
Sarah
“We had a string trio and a singer for our church wedding ceremony, and it was lovely! Walking down the aisle felt intimate with the classical music in the background. When the program suddenly changed, they adapted and even played extra songs.”
Anne
“Your strings group, and that magnificent singer, were some of my favorite parts of my wedding! The way she sang and the way you all played was just so, so special. Thank you very much!”

String Trio + Vocals: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a singer and string trio cost for a wedding?

String Trio + Vocals starts from $1,330 in Boston. Travel within about 18 miles of Boston is included. Venue distance from the city sets the final price, and if you book your reception music with us too, the package discount is applied automatically.

Who's in String Trio + Vocals?

Four of us: a singer, two violinists and a cellist. The violins carry the melody, the cello holds the bottom end, and the voice brings every word of your song to life. We play weddings together every weekend, so four of us sound like one voice.

Can we choose the singer?

Yes. Watch the singers in the Package Builder, listen for the voice that stops you, and choose the one you love. Your Band Manager confirms your singer is available before you book, then we shape your songs for voice and strings.

Is it good for a church wedding?

Yes, it's one of the most moving ways to fill a church. Hymns, Ave Maria and "Amazing Grace" sound beautiful with a voice and strings rising together, and it's often the moment the tears start. Strings play as your guests arrive and settle, then the voice comes in for your walk down the aisle, so every word reaches the last row. A sung hymn during Communion or the candle lighting is a lovely touch.

Do all the songs have to be sung?

No. You choose which songs are sung and which the strings play alone. A lovely way to do it: strings as your guests arrive, then the voice comes in for your walk down the aisle. Some couples save the voice for the one song that matters most.

What does the singer need?

A power outlet within 10 feet, and a covered spot out of the rain, cold and storms. The strings play unplugged, so they need no power at all. We arrive up to 20 minutes before your booking starts to set up and tune.

Can we have a singer with a String Quartet instead?

Yes, we can add a singer to our String Quartet. The viola fills the middle with an even deeper, richer warmth under the voice, which suits bigger rooms and churches. Ask your Band Manager and we'll put it together for you.
