We hired Corelli for an outdoor, COVID safe birthday celebration. Their duet was amazing and worth every penny. I highly recommend for a great way to add a touch of class and music to any special event of yours. My wife is a musician and thought their music was first class and on point. Both their modern and classical pieces were impressive. Be sure to check out their Instagram for the best examples of their music. read more

Corelli strings is incredible! We utilized a string duo for our wedding last weekend. Midori was fantastic to work with. They were excellent at communicating. Their music selection sheet was extensive. They were punctual and pleasant. Our guests raved about the music. We cannot recommend these musicians enough!!! read more

I first heard the string duo play at my cousin's ceremony at SF city hall last year and their music was so beautiful, I asked for their contact info before I was even engaged. Fast forward to September of this year and we just had our own wedding at a cafe on Treasure Island. I submitted an inquiry back in January or February and getting a contract set was super easy. Midori was great with communication and everything was quite simple and professional. We booked the string trio to play about 90 min, which covered the half hour as guests arrived, the ceremony music, and for the majority of our cocktail hour. I only selected music from their modern collection, which had a decent-sized list of songs ranging from slower and romantic to fun and more poppy. The ceremony started with their cover of John Legend's You and I, and the bride's entrance song was Sam Smith's Stay With Me. During cocktail hour, we had random songs like 'Married Life' from Pixar's Up, a Taylor Swift song, Teresa Teng's The Moon Represents My Heart (a Chinese classic for the parents) and even threw in the Jurassic Park theme song (so awesome!) Although I had to be hiding in the bridal suite and was also mostly busy taking photos, I did get to enjoy some of the music. Many of our guests commented that the string music was beautiful and was a nice touch. I wish I could just sit there and listen to them all afternoon... Their price is quite reasonable and I think having the live music just brings so much to the ambiance of the event. It was definitely one of the things I looked forward to and enjoyed the most. read more

My husband and I were very pleased with Correli Strings performance at our wedding last May 28, 2021. Midori was very helpful and very patient with our song requests and other questions before our wedding day. Everybody loved/enjoyed their performance. Thank you so much to both Midori and Gabrielle for gracing us with your talents and making our wedding day special and memorable one. We would love to have you guys perform in another event in the near future. read more

Asa wedding officiant I work with a lot of musicians. Corelli strings are always professional, easy to work with and sound just beautiful. I love the variety of music from modern to classical. They add so much to any wedding. read more

We absolutely loved working with Midori and the entire Corelli Strings team. During preparation, they went above and beyond: incredibly responsive to emails and our communication all the way to the day before the wedding (we had some last-minute changes to our officiant team), super collaborative with the rest of the wedding vendors (planner, officiant, photographer etc), and flexible about music selection. On the day of, I couldn't speak more highly about their music: it made so many of us cry! ;-) We walked down the aisle to a song that wasn't in their original repertoire (they were happy to arrange it upon payment of a small fee), and it was the most beautiful thing we could have asked for. After the ceremony, we had several guests asking us who the musicians were and commending them for an amazing work. I'd hire Corelli Strings again in a heartbeat! read more

I found Corelli Strings on a few reviews on different websites and they definitely lived up to their 5 star entertainment. They are very organized and tentative. We used their string trio for our reception and cocktail hour and I couldn't be happier with their service and professionalism. Thank you Corelli for making our special day a very memorable one! read more

Corelli performed for our wedding at Thomas Fogarty Winery. The music for the ceremony brought out so many emotions, and the more modern music for the cocktail hour provided a lively atmosphere. We are so happy with their performance and service. Midori was very accommodating in our last minute request for a custom arrangement. Thank you, Midori and Corelli! We super appreciate you accommodating our last minute custom arrangement request! It really added to the ceremony! read more

We went with Corelli Strings to provide a sting trio to perform for 2 hours at our wedding ceremony based on some of these rave reviews. Communication was excellent throughout the booking process, expectations/rates were clear and fair (after pricing around a few other string services), but most of all: the arrangements and musicians were superb! We had them custom-arrange one of our favorite songs and it sounded amazing. I highly recommend Corelli Strings! read more

Midori & Corelli Strings - Where do I even begin to express how HAPPY I am that you were part of our special day? I've always dreamed of live musicians at my wedding and Midori set up such a TALENTED String Trio to play for my private ceremony at the beautiful San Francisco City Hall last weekend. Your music gave me CHILLS as I waited on the 2nd floor of the Rotunda. Walking down that staircase would have never been COMPLETE without you! The musicians played all the songs we requested on our music sheet in absolute & impeccable harmony and let me tell all of you.. when or if you get a chance to hear them play at any event, you won't want them to stop! Corelli Strings made our ceremony romantic, elegant and definitely a memorable experience for us and our guests! Their music will forever leave echoes in my heart!! :) read more

We booked a trio from Corelli Strings for our wedding and had a great time working with them! First, and most important, Corelli Strings provided an excellent performance for our wedding. They sounded incredible, and we received many compliments from our guests on their performance. Second, Midori was very good about following up on our emails and clearly communicating with us about the wedding. It was easy to select music and they were very clear about what they would need day-of. Third, Midori was very thoughtful when playing music during the reception. We had specially requested that they perform a Joe Hisaishi song during our wedding. When the trio finished playing the songs that we had requested with time still to spare, the trio started playing other Joe Hisaishi songs, which we loved! In short, I highly recommend booking with Corelli Strings. read more

Midori and her staff are AMAZING! Class act, prompt, professional and overall a EASY vendor to work with. She played for my wedding at SF city hall with her trio team. As a bride I had loads of questions and needed a lot of guidance on how many songs to pick and she provided EXCELLENT advise. I follow her on Instagram now just to continue seeing her and her teams majesty. I wish my husband and I lived in the Bay Area because, we would book her for live performances for many other events. If you want Classical, Jazz, R&B, Soul, even certain hip hop music she can deliver! Corelli has a LARGE selection of genres. If you want a special arrangement her team can provide it as well if there is enough time and for a small fee due to the time it takes to put into the art. She does everything with detail, care, and overall quality. I wish we could provide 100 stars for Corelli our guest are still talking about our wedding and the strings. Brides: I just finished this process May 25th. You have a TON of vendors to vet out. Stop looking go with Corelli they are seamless and it will leave an Amazing lasting impression. Thank you Corelli ( MIDORI) for being apart of our day and making it magical! read more

Our 1 hour private wedding at San Francisco City Hall was perfect all due to our Corelli Strings duo and their impeccable talents and organization of pieces. We did not request enough pieces beforehand and they chose additional pieces on the fly perfectly and we couldn't be happier with our choice of musicians for our wedding day. Midori was very flexible with our questions beforehand and we were especially thrilled and happy they were able to accommodate a request that was not part of their repertoire: Bach Cello Suite No. 1 - Prelude. All the pieces were played so beautifully and really elevated our intimate wedding of 45 guests in a fantastic venue. Thank you so much - words cannot express how grateful we are. read more

I can't recommend Corelli Strings more highly. From start to finish Midori was responsive and professional. We had an unusual wedding, and wanted the strings to play a part in surprising our guests. After playing a 45-minute set as guests entered, the trio remained in place as our ceremony began. Our pastor told the story of how we got together (church fundraiser - at a nightclub) and then uttered the cue, "Now let me set the scene for you..." At this, the trio launched into a Bruno Mars song and 6 helpers jumped up and began distributing drinks to our (very surprised) guests. The strings played 2-3 modern songs as all the glasses were distributed, and then we shared a toast. Simple though it sounds, pulling that off took a tremendous amount of organization, and Midori responded to my terribly lengthy emails with smart questions to make sure the trio delivered exactly what we wanted. And they did. It all went better than I could have hoped. They even brought an extra music stand for our pastor, to hold his notes. My only regret was that, as the bride, I had to remain hidden before the ceremony and could only hear scraps of the music. But the lucky groom and guests reported that they sounded terrific, and what I did hear during the toast confirmed it! In the confusion that followed, I didn't get to meet any of the players, and I'm sorry for this, as I would have liked to thank them sincerely in person. We messaged several trios in the planning process, but Corelli had the most prompt and professional response, and their pricing was very fair. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone. Thank you Midori! read more

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found Corelli Strings to be a part of our Wedding Day. It was truly a dream to work with Midori from the beginning of my wedding planning. She answered all my questions in a timely manner, gave suggestions that were very helpful and guided me through a very smooth process. She was very professional and knowledgeable with the whole thing and I was already thankful for that. On our Wedding Day, they played all the music that we have selected beautifully. Everything was perfect and I can only dream to rewind that moment I walked down the aisle with the strings playing in the background. It was such an unforgettable moment for me as well as our friends and family who were part of our wedding. Everybody could not stop talking about how beautiful our wedding turned out to be and Midori and her team played a huge role to make our DREAM wedding come true. Midori and Team, We can't thank you enough for everything. Your talent is a great gift to everybody who will have the opportunity to listen to the music you play. To all the couples who are planning their wedding, please do not hesitate to reach out to Midori and team; we highly recommend them! They are simply THE BEST! read more

We are so happy to have them in our wedding at The Mountain Terrace on 10/01. The song selections are awesome. Midori was very responsive in responding emails. The musicians showed up on time and played really nice strings, which was also very closed to the samples on the website. We highly recommend them! read more

All of the perfect ratings are well deserved for Corelli Strings. First, Midori is very responsive in answering any questions/inquiries that you have. Also, I love the pay online feature that they have - I was surprised how many vendors we used for our wedding in San Francisco still needed us to send cashier's checks... that is so inconvenient! Such a small thing makes it easier for brides :-) On the day of, our musicians were prompt and prepared. Since they do so many weddings at SF City Hall, we did not really have to provide them with too many details. Also, our reservations were booked for 1-hour but our ceremony only took about 20-minutes. Corelli played music for the ENTIRE hour while we visited with guests and took photos. It was absolutely the perfect background noise. I received so many compliments about the music played by Corelli Strings. I could listen to them play for hours. I wish I had another event coming up to book them for, they are just outstanding. If you are looking for some musicians to make your event elegant, book Corelli! (Married on 7/24/15 at SF City Hall) read more

Corelli Strings was our ceremony and cocktail-hour music vendor for our wedding last month. It was a last minute decision to switch to live music for our wedding and I couldn't be happier that I contacted Midori. She was professional and easy to work with. She also made great suggestions when we were not sure what to pick for our ceremony music. After the wedding, we received a lot of compliments for our music and I have Midori and her team to thank! Needless to say that we highly recommend Corelli Strings for any weddings. read more

Corelli Strings - Musicians Near Me

We hired a string trio for our wedding at City Hall. Midori from Corelli Strings was one of the most professional vendors to work with. She responded promptly to our emails, asked all the necessary questions for our timeline, and said Yes to all the custom songs we asked them to learn for a reasonable fee that was totally worth it. On the day of, they played wonderfully and remembered all our special instructions to slow down a particular song, or start at a different measure for another song. The song I had them learn from Final Fantasy was performed beautifully and timed perfectly as I walked down the aisle. I sent Midori two scores and she was able to tell me which would be best for a string trio. Also, the Game of Thrones theme is in their repertoire -- NEED I SAY MORE? And yes, we had them play it at our wedding to set the tone as guests walked in. Epic! A big thank you to Midori and the team for making our ceremony unique and unforgettable! read more

Their music was truly beautiful and they were super easy to plan with. So many songs to choose from! Modern and classic. They were perfect! read more

We got married two weeks ago and Corelli Strings made our day incredibly special. They are super professional, prompt, and talented. Our City Hall wedding was tremendously improved by their music and their ability to sense our crowd. All communications were straightforward and pleasant. We highly recommend them! read more

I'm a part-time wedding officiant, and today I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful group of musicians. I was dealing with a couple of grooms who had specific ideas about what they wanted...I wrote the ceremony, the grooms gave me their music notes from meetings with Corelli, and we exchanged two emails and that was all it took. The wedding today was like a Broadway Production..everything on cue...music very appropriate, and the guests at the wedding were blown away. Corelli Strings is a trio you need at your wedding! I'm going to recommend them as I meet with people planning a wedding. Easy to work with...2 e-mails and it all fell into place, and the ceremony was spectacular. BTW...their sound is symphony quality!!! read more

Nothing but praise for Midori and her team of incredible, kind, warm, and talented musicians! True professionals! Midori was able to work with me with a little over a week until our big day, the entire process was smooth and even with the shortened timeline everything was turned out great. Highly recommend for any event, but especially for a small ceremony in SF City Hall! They've played there plenty of times so they know the requirements - Midori and her partner arrived and went straight to playing! No hassle, no worries, and amazing music. read more

What a day to remember. I cannot thank Corelli Strings enough for playing at our wedding. They knew exactly what to do and did an amazing job. Added such a nice touch to the whole event. Random people came by and stopped to enjoy the music. One of the songs they played was the Game of Thrones theme song which my officiant posted on Facebook. It now has over 1K views. read more

From the moment of my first contact with Corelli Strings to the very end of our wedding ceremony, my experience with them was nothing but a breeze. My husband and I got married less than a week ago at San Francisco City Hall, where I was told that we would not be able to play music from our ipods during the ceremony. Not wanting to walk down the aisle to nothing but the sounds of the protestors outside on the streets, I took the recommendation of the coordinators at City Hall and contacted Corelli Strings. Midori was my point of contact, and was instrumental (no pun intended) in making sure that the music for our ceremony was orchestrated smoothly and seamlessly. She was very prompt in her responses to any and all questions that I had, and was also patient in waiting for me to make decisions re: final playlist, on-site contact person, etc. We requested that the string duo arrange and perform a song that was not on their set list- this was a no-frills process that involved us asking for the song, allowing a few weeks for the duo to arrange it, and then being presented with a MIDI file upon completion for our review. The song itself sounded amazing the day of the ceremony. I would definitely recommend Corelli Strings for any wedding or event, especially at SF City Hall. read more

I found Corelli String Trio on Yelp, and boy am I glad I listened to what every review said. It is 100% accurate. They played for my wedding on August 2nd 2014. Corelli Strings is THE BEST choice for your wedding or event. Here's why: 1. They are organized. Their head coordinator Midori is really responsive via e-mail, and gives you all the information you need. 2. They are EXTREMELY TALENTED. Seriously. I hope they don't mind me sharing this link, but this is just a little bit of a playing sample they provided me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NKI1Qfa2_g&list=PL3zWybj7JgX8yysSrw-Iv4SG6yqbvRsnA&index=8 They sound even better live. 3. They are really flexible. I had a song I wanted them to learn for my event, and they were more than accommodating provided there was an arrangement for it which they were able to find. 4. They are VERY professional. Midori asked all of the right questions via e-mail. They have playing for special events down to a science. All their forms are very self explanitory, which I really appreciated. It is perfect. 5. What are you waiting for? book them! :) read more

Corelli Strings was by far my favorite vendor for my San Francisco City Hall wedding. Midori was very responsive and easy to communicate with. From the get-go, I felt that I could give Midori just a few details about what I wanted and just trust her to take care of the rest - which she did beautifully! Corelli Strings is a SF City Hall pro, so I didn't have to worry about whether or not they'd arrive on time, know where to go, where to set up, etc - they quietly came in and set up without intrusion while my husband and I greeted guests and took pictures - and did the same when our hour together was up. We paid a little extra to have them learn a song that is special to me and my husband. It was well worth it! Thank you Corelli for making our special day so memorable!! read more

I just used Corelli Strings for my outdoor wedding ceremony at a public park in SF. Booking online and then emailing with Midori was seamless and she always emailed back immediately to answer any questions. They have a great music selection that included newer songs, with a few on YouTube so you can actually hear them. They are extremely reasonably priced at $240 for the string duo (+$40 booking fee) for 1 hour of play time. I booked them 1.5 months in advance. Everything suited our quick outdoor ceremony perfectly and they kept playing for the full hour, even while the chairs were being broken down and we were taking pictures (it was like they were going down with the Titanic, but we thought it was great!). The only reason it's 4 stars and not 5 is because while the grooms parents were walking down the isle, they stopped playing for like 15 seconds and my fiance said it was really awkward. It was extremely windy so we don't know if their sheets got messed up or if this was a pause so they could loop the song (which we told them to do so the processional could go on the same song). Either way, it was the only issue we had. Highly recommend!! Really appreciative to have found a company to accommodate our wedding! read more

We had a one hour ceremony on the mayors balcony at SF City Hall, where amplified music is obviously not allowed. We contacted Corelli strings super last minute and luckily they were still available. They have an amazing song selection and I got to pick all my favorites. They are incredibly talented and their music was the breath taking. So happy we got to listen to them on our wedding day. read more

Corelli Stings did a wonderful job at our wedding. Midori was incredibly responsive in her communications with me - which was so great leading up to the wedding when you had a quick question. I would HIGHLY recommend the group - they have a great selection of songs and are fairly priced. Thank you for all you did to make our day so special. read more

We got married a couple weeks ago and hired Corelli Strings (string trio) to play at our outdoor ceremony. I had found Corelli Strings on Yelp and called them immediately. From the moment I spoke with Midori, I had a good feeling. The samples don't do them justice! We sat in on a live demo (for a small fee) and were completely blown away (to the point of tears!) and knew we had to hire them. Honestly, on the day of our wedding, I didn't really pay attention to them due to the craziness going on, but my guests commented on how wonderful they sounded. Wish I had heard some of the music we selected though. =( Would definitely hire Corelli Strings again for another event, and highly recommend them for your events! Midori is professional and responds almost immediately to all of the questions you may have. read more

I booked Corelli Strings to perform at my wedding ceremony at sf city hall and they did such a great job! The events dept at city hall recommended them and I can see why they are a preferred vendor. It was such an easy and stress-free process booking them. Inquiring about availability and pricing (super reasonable!), booking, to going over the music selections...the correspondence was quick, easy, and very professional. Midori was always available to answer any questions I had. I ended up booking a string duo (violin and guitar) and they both played beautifully! Thank you Natalie (violinist) and Paul (guitarist) for being such a wonderful addition to our special day! When I was still searching for musicians I would listen to their music selection samples and I didn't enjoy a lot of their arrangements and tempo. I'm very particular about the tempo of the music, especially for a wedding ceremony! You don't want them to play too fast or too slow. And also, if you're choosing classical pieces you want them to be just that...classical...and not some modern twist on a classical piece. Maybe someone would want that, but that wasn't for me lol. When I listened to Corelli's samples it was exactly what I was looking for. Corelli played my music selections perfectly and with great timing! The duo continued to play after the ceremony while we were taking pictures and I loved it. It was very calming for me to hear them amidst the chaos of picture taking haha. If you're thinking of hiring musicians to play at a special event...you can trust that Corelli Strings will be a perfect choice! read more

I booked Corelli Strings for my Cavallo Point wedding in 2011 and couldn't be happier with the results. Midori was professional, prompt in all communication and very helpful in ensuring our music was perfect for us. She provided an extensive repertoire list for us to make our selections from, and also purchased and learned new music for a special recessional song we'd requested - at a very minimal fee. The trio arrived promptly on our wedding day and played flawlessly. One of my bridesmaids actually booked them on the spot for her upcoming November wedding. Plus, they have such reasonable rates -- a rarity in the wedding world that is so, so appreciated! read more

We booked Midori and her team for our September 2021 wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process, Midori was incredibly communicative, patient, and accommodating, especially with rescheduling multiple times due to the pandemic. On the day of the wedding, her team performed beautifully and our guests loved the music! Would definitely recommend Corelli Strings for your next event! read more

We used Corelli Strings for our wedding at City Hall last week - they were wonderful! Midori was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the whole experience so easy and stress free. She was so easy to communicate with and was very thorough and clear and how everything would go down day of. Our guests couldn't say enough wonderful things about how much the music added to our ceremony. Their performance was amazing and I coudln't have been more pleased with the entire experience. I highly recommend working with Midori and Corelli Strings if you're in need of some amazing music. Thank you Midori!! read more

Working with Midori and the amazing musicians as Corelli Strings for our wedding was a really fantastic experience all around. The pre-wedding communication and coordination was excellent -- Midori was super responsive and a pleasure to work with. At the wedding, the musicians completely exceeded all expectations and really blew everyone away. The level of talent is really incredible to hear and watch, and their performance at both our ceremony and reception was flawless. I would highly recommend Corelli String to anyone in need of musicians for any event. read more

From the moment i reached out to Corelli Strings up until my wedding day, working with Corelli was an absolute pleasure. Midori and her team are AMAZING! She was very responsive to all my questions, made sure we were timely when planning our ceremony and cocktail music, and was extremely thorough in the planning process. I had requested specific music for our ceremony and not only did Corelli find the songs and learn how to play them, but on the day of our wedding they were exactly the way I had envisioned our ceremony music. I would recommend Corelli to anyone who is looking for a special group to add some magic to their event. Thank you so much Midori and the entire Corelli Strings team!!! read more

Midori was incredible to work with. I reached out about a string duo for my wedding and her response time was so fast. Their pricing is super fair as I had looked at many string musicians. And the musicians were top notch. Their library of songs they can play fits the bill for almost anyone's weeding style. We wanted more of a pop twist not using traditional classical music and Corelli Strings nailed it! Midori made it so easy to work with to ensure not a detail was missed in communication. I would strongly recommend them if you want strings for your special day. It's worth working with a group over an individual artist to have a safety net of many musicians should you have any last minute changes or things come up. read more
