We hired Chris to be our DJ at first and he walked us through the process of what we needed to do and how they were going to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding! Later down, I asked about an MC for our wedding because I felt there was so much going on and I wouldn't have time to make sure everything was in order with vendors, timelines, and I didn't want to ask my family to do it for me. Chris assured me he would take care of all the details so all I had to do was arrive at my wedding, focus on myself and have the most amazing time. Chris truly went above and beyond, everything was handled, and I didn't have to panic over my vendors or timing, he was right there reminding me where I needed to be and if things were good to go ahead.

We booked Thomas to DJ our wedding at Kai Kai Farms almost two years in advance, based on recommendations from other vendors, and he was everything we hoped for and more. Thomas went way beyond just DJing—he helped guide the whole night, keeping our timeline on track and adding so many personal touches. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in his work. Thomas checked in with us every few months leading up to the wedding, making sure we knew he was always available if we had questions. He even gave us a heads-up when he’d be on vacation, so we’d not worry if we did not get a quick response. We had an interfaith ceremony, and he handled the hora perfectly, working closely with our rabbi. Thomas’s professionalism and warmth made our wedding unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. He truly made our night special.

We had Mike from AHE Productions as our wedding DJ, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen anyone better! His setup was one of the best I’ve ever seen—modern, sleek, and the killer lights matched our black-and-white theme perfectly. From the moment we had our planning call a few weeks before the wedding, I knew everything would run smoothly. Mike made the entire process so easy, and on the day of, everything was flawless. All the music followed our requests to a T, and our guests are still raving about the party! Mike knew exactly when to cut songs short and when to keep the energy high, plus he was fantastic at emceeing when needed. We had two grand entrances, and both were absolutely adorable and perfect. Our customized music for our choreographed first dance and serenade moment sounded incredible on the speakers. The ceremony and dinner music were also spot-on, and the entire evening flowed perfectly. Mike was worth every single dollar, and I’d recommend AHE Productions to anyone looking for a professional, fun, and reliable DJ! 10/10!

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

With over 20 years of experience, our network of professional musicians is dedicated to sharing our love of music with the community. Whether you're planning a wedding, private party, corporate event, recording session, or in need of orchestra or small ensemble music, we've got you covered. Let String Theory Music set the tone for your event with beautiful music that will create an unforgettable ambiance.

Incredible. I would give 100 stars if I could! We booked String Theory Music to play during our wedding ceremony this past Saturday. I cannot say enough good things about them. From the very first interaction with Allison, she was so friendly, personable, and easy to work with. She took the time to answer all of my questions and gave her professional input, which was invaluable to us. I found their prices to be very reasonable and fair for the services and level of quality they provide. They have an extensive song repertoire, but if the songs you want aren't on the list, they even offer commissioned arrangements at a very reasonable rate and will learn the new songs for you! String Theory has violinists, cello players, but I really wanted a piano player too, so I booked a piano player to accompany them through another website. Allison took point on managing interactions between the musicians, and musicians collaborated together while needing very minimal direction and input from me, so they made the process very easy for me. When it all came together on my wedding day, we were absolutely blown away. They don't simply just play notes, they play it with so much passion and emotion. Their professionalism, artistry, and dedication to their craft is evident. It was the highlight of our whole wedding! If you are on the fence about booking them, please, just go ahead and do yourselves the biggest favor and just DO IT! You will never be disappointed!!

I have over 20 years of experience playing my saxophone and have been all over the country playing on stages big and small. I also have a full band, and I DJ's too! Contact me for more details! ​Thank you!

So much fun! The Saxophone was amazing! Bradley kept the dance floor full at all times! He listened to what the bride wanted and delivered. The music and the energy made it a FUN NIGHT! I (mother of the bride) submitted a request on thumbtack, Bradley contacted me right away. I told him I had to share his information with the bride (my daughter), knowing he also plays the saxophone was the selling point. So she agreed and after several messages we hired him for the job. NO REGRET! Everyone had a great time. Especially at the end of the evening. For some reason when he played Mr. Brightside, the family went nuts and the dance floor was full again. Great time. Thank you so much!

I recently had my wedding at the Florida Aquarium and StringKeeper Entertainment gave me everything I wanted and so much more. Elijah is truely AMAZING!. We spoke to him multiple times beforehand, came up with a wedding list, went over a timeline of the wedding, and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted and didn't want. He arrived early to the wedding to make sure everything was set up in time and working properly. Music and Audio was perfect. He even helped my husband plan a surprise song for me which included a guitar. He had to improvise a couple times because my husband can't follow directions when we entered and went into our first dance, but it all went so smoothly that you would have thought it was planned. Throughout the night he made sure everyone was out there having fun. I appreciate all the time and work he put in to making sure we had a wonderful wedding. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

My husband and I got married on May 3, 2024 and selected the package that included the DJ, violinist for the beach ceremony, photo-booth and up-lighting for the dance floor. The lights looked awesome, the photo-booth was a big hit and the music was perfect. The violinist was extremely talented and such a special touch for the ceremony. Hearing the song I selected for my walk down the aisle being played live with a violin was such a beautiful, emotional experience. Jorge really kept the party going the whole night during the reception! He played all of the songs that we requested and really brought the positive energy to the dance floor.

After doing some research into violinists, we found Rachel and loved her vibe. She is so incredibly sweet and the range of music she is able to play is hugely impressive (from pop, to oldies, to film scores, to country, to Bollywood)! On the day of the wedding, we had the absolute pleasure of having Rachel (on violin) and Stephanie (on cello) play our chosen music.

Matt and Karese have been so helpful through the planning process. From the moment we booked even until after our wedding they made sure we had a great experience. I can go on and on about why you should book them but one thing that stands out more than the rest to me is on the day of our wedding, Matt noticed our crowd liked to be outside rather than inside where he originally had setup. Recognizing that, he asked us if we would be ok (after the formalities finished) if he moved his set outside to better serve our guests. Of course we said yes and it took him 5 minutes to switch locations mid wedding and nobody even noticed because he had music playing on a speaker inside the whole time he moved his stuff. Bow Tied Weddings definitely goes above and beyond for their couples! I recommend booking them for any event!

She was professional in every aspect: on time, well dressed, and of course ... awesome playing on her violin. If I want something special for a party, I'm calling her.
