About Modern Strings
Modern Strings
We are a husband and wife team located in New Haven, Connecticut who have played over 1000+ weddings and hire professionals from the top orchestras in New England. As a modern couple ourselves, recently married in May of 2021, we are very familiar with the process on both sides. Modern Strings offers a variety of ensemble choices for your budget that range from a solo violinist, to an electric duo, to full string quartet. Whether you are wanting to stay classic or try something unique, our music library can offer you classical, pop, religious, film, jazz music, and more!
We believe that the modern couple, should have modern musicians that can take play in a variety of styles in order to create a personalized experience for their event. Planning a wedding is an exciting time, and you'll have not one, but two people to assist in complementing your musical style to your wedding.

Having Modern Strings play at our daughter’s wedding was such a meaningful part of the day. The string trio helped create exactly the atmosphere we hoped for at the church. Celine was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. She was always available to answer questions and guide us in choosing the music. For the prelude, we wanted something contemporary and recognizable to welcome and engage our guests as they arrived. Once the ceremony began, they transitioned to liturgically appropriate music. Celine helped us create a musical program that felt personal to our daughter while also fitting the setting perfectly. We loved having the flexibility to choose from Modern Strings’ wide repertoire, from contemporary selections to classical pieces. The trio performed beautifully, and several guests commented afterward on how much they enjoyed the music. We are so grateful to Celine and Modern Strings for being part of such an important day for our family. They were a pleasure to work with and added a wonderful personal touch to our daughter’s wedding.

From our first conversation with Modern Strings, we knew we wanted them to be part of our wedding day. The team was collaborative throughout the planning process and really understood what we were going for with our vision. They played during our ceremony and cocktail hour, bringing an elegance to those moments that we couldn't have imagined without them. Our guests couldnt stop talking about how talented they were, and honestly, it's hard to picture our day without their contribution. Their professionalism and adaptability made everything feel seamless, and the impact they had was truly exceptional. We highly recommend Modern Strings to any couple looking to add something special to their wedding.

Incredible!
Modern Strings was a fantastic addition to our wedding and made our day so much more magical. They were wonderful to coordinate with during our planning process and were very responsive. It was very important to us to have more modern songs (as their name says) so we were thrilled when we found their music library with just about every we could dream of, including our top ceremony songs choices, which we were struggling to find elsewhere. All our guests raved about them and they made cocktail hour so much better. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
