We loved having them at our event! They played some amazing pop covers during our cocktail hour, and really helped us to kick off the evening!

Strings Attached Violins played during our drinks reception at our wedding party. They were absolutely fantastic, the perfect music for our country farm setting. All the guests enjoyed hearing the music, with many comments after. They are such a lovely couple and an absolute pleasure to deal with during the booking process. Carl was extremely punctual at returning my messages and no request was too much. They played a mix of classical and more modern music with a twist, which everyone loved. I would not hesitate to book them again, and if you are looking for beautiful music for your event I would 100% recommend this brilliant duo. Thank you so much for making our wedding extra special.

Truly Magical! We cannot recommend Strings Attached Violins enough. They’re beyond musically talented and were incredible. My partner and I both had entrance songs which were beautiful played. And walking up the aisle was a magical experience. We have had so many people compliment how amazing the music choice was by Strings Attached Violins! Simply perfect! Thank you so much

These two play their violins with all their hearts, and several songs even moved me to tears. It was awesome to watch them flawlessly switch playing lead, on the fly. Their music is amazing. I was mesmerized by their talent. If you ever get a chance to see them play, they'll stop you in their tracks. They're wonderful people, Karina and Carl. They graciously played requests and are so friendly! If I had the money and the time, I'd attend every concert they were to ever play. They were the best hire Princess Cruise Lines ever made.
