About

Hi there! We're Kristi and Claire, Co-Founders of Southern Strings and we're so happy you're here! Southern Strings is a network of professional string musicians who perform for weddings and special events throughout the South. We offer string duos, trios, and quartets, and our goal is to make having live music feel really easy and personal. Our musicians perform in symphonies, are highly sought after, and have extensive training to make your special day shine even more :) We have a repertoire list of over 1300 songs with everything from classical music and wedding favorites to pop, country, movie music, hymns, and modern songs, so couples can really make the music feel like them. For weddings, we can play the prelude as guests arrive, all of the important ceremony moments, and continue into cocktail hour or the reception. We handle the details behind the scenes, from helping choose the right ensemble and songs to coordinating with the venue or planner and making sure our musicians have everything they need. We want couples to be able to enjoy the experience of having beautiful live music without having to worry about managing all the logistics themselves.
