I used Larkspur Stings for my wedding in June 2015 and I could not have been more impressed. My wedding coordinator recommended Larkspur Strings as she had seen them perform at other weddings. Ana was so nice to work with prior to the wedding. We asked to have a 15 min call to go over our music ideas and get some additional suggestions and Ana was happy to do so. The duo's repertoire is quite big and has classical, pop, jazz and Brazilian options. The duo will also learn a specific new song for an additional fee but we just chose songs from their repertoire. On the day of the wedding, Ana and her partner showed up on time. The music sounded fantastic in the hotel ballroom- the combo of violin and guitar was gorgeous.The timing of all songs was right on cue also. I would definitely recommend this duo if you want live music for your wedding ceremony. read more

I cannot recommend Larkspur Strings enough!! Especially Ana :) She played violin and Chris played guitar for my September 2014 wedding and was SUCH a great vendor to work with. Ana seemed to genuinely care about doing a good job for us, both before the wedding as we decided on songs and the logistics, and especially the day of. It was a bit chilly on our wedding day...and the ceremony was outside on a rooftop facing the lake. Brr! Ana handled this adorably and let my husband know that she was concerned she "wouldn't be able to play beautiful music" because get fingers were cold! So she was trying to apologize in advance before the ceremony for this. Bless her heart! :) No apology was needed though; they did a wonderful job despite the cold conditions! She even came up to me after to introduce herself (we only spoke through email prior -- which shows just how wonderful she was as I trusted her fully despite not ever meeting even!) and again say sorry if it didn't sound good, and of course congratulate us. She was such a doll! Thanks so much, Ana and Chris; you helped make our wedding day perfect :) read more

We chose Larkspur to provide music for our wedding ceremony, and we could not have been happier for the results! We didn't feel that we were necessarily full string quartet people, but we liked the idea of pairing the sound of strings with a guitar. Their prices were very reasonable, the samples on their site sounded fantastic, and it sounded just as good in person. On the day of, Ana was extremely organized and on top of everything (while we were at the height of our nervousness before the ceremony and running around trying to get everything together). She assured us that she would work out cues, timing, etc. with the people at the venue, and that she had it all under control--which she very much did. Her calmness was very much appreciated, and when the time came, the music sounded amazing! read more

the music at our wedding was so beautiful! We couldnt have asked for anything better! Kristina kept in touch with me the whole time during our wedding planning process and i was confident she would deliver just what we were looking for! She was very helpful in sending me links of songs to review to help set the exact mood we wanted to portray. I almost wish it wasn't my wedding just so i could have enjoyed their beautiful playing more! I HIGHLY recommend them :) read more

I couldn't have been happier with the wedding ceremony music from Larkspur Strings. Ana was great to work with through the whole process, and the duet's performance was beyond exceptional. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for live wedding ceremony string music!!!!! Thanks for a beautiful performance and making a very important part of my wedding ceremony just perfect!! read more

I would highly recommend Larkspur Strings to anyone. Kristina and Chris played at our wedding ceremony and were fantastic. Kristina was a pleasure to work with, highly professional and very accommodating with our song requests. Larkspur Strings offers a great songbook and can also put together arrangements for requests outside their book. We had them play two songs accompanied by a singer and it was wonderful. We couldn't have been happier! read more

The music for our wedding day was exactly what I hoped for. The ensemble played with beauty and artistry, and were professionals from beginning to end. They were happy to accommodate some obscure requests I had and forthcoming with a lot of great ideas for selections when I needed it. Our intimate ceremony at the Cheney mansion was just wrapped in their warm sound...so perfect! I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Larkspur Strings created an inviting and relaxing atmosphere for our wedding ceremony. They were easy to work with and gave us many options, both classical music and contemporary, which really suited what we wanted to create at our garden ceremony, and captured our personal tastes and personalities. I will never forget how I felt as they began to play our processional music - the already exhilarating moment was amplified by the precise and sophisticated way they play the strings. Throughout the evening our friends and family continued to comment on the impact of the music. They are the best if you are looking for professionalism, artistry and overall a magical experience!!!! read more
