    We had a wonderful experience working with Gretchen and Kerry! They were professional and so talented. They played our ceremony and cocktail hour music, and they were terrific! Gretchen was super clear and responsive to all emails and questions. We had a few conversations with her before the big day to review our favorite songs and discuss the timeline. We also loved that they had a wide range of music selections, so we didn't waste much time thinking about what song to play. It saved a lot of our time. They were prompt, professional, and very talented. Their music was beautiful, and we could not have been happier! We are so glad they were part of our big day. We highly recommend them!

    Look no further and hire Musical Heartstrings, full stop. We had Gretchen and Kerry play cello and violin respectively for our November wedding at the Brazil Room in Berkeley. I love stressful situations only because they tend to be very revealing in terms of people's character, and great character is important when you're working on a potentially very stressful event like a wedding. Well, two weeks before the wedding, the groom decided to veto a key piece of music that was going to be part of my vows. Within a tight timeframe (and our limited budget), Gretchen took the initiative to search for a musical score that would suit a backup piece of my choosing and got me and Kerry into her home for a last-minute rehearsal. They didn't have to do any of this and yet they did. I am forever grateful for their grace, support, and willingness to accommodate us when they didn't have to. From the beginning, Gretchen was so communicative and well-organized, and I just loved the sheer volume of samples on their website (which was also very mobile-friendly). Other than our caterer, Gretchen was the most communicative and on-top-of-it vendor I worked with. It was so enjoyable working with both her and Kerry and they played beautifully for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They played everything from pieces from The Hobbit to Lady Gaga, and many other selections from their extensive repertoire. Now, I am looking forward to hopefully having Gretchen as my cello teacher. Excellent musicians, excellent people. Lots of love to musical heartstrings!

    Musical Heart Strings was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Gretchen was super responsive any time we messaged her. Their repertoire is so varied that the inner nerd in my wife and I got to enjoy some studio ghibli songs added to our ceremony. We commissioned 2 songs from them and they delivered beautifully! Would definitely recommend Musical Heart Strings!

    Musical Heart Strings created the magical ambience that we envisioned for our wedding! We had so much fun and ease picking out songs from their repertoire. When our wedding day came, we were absolutely in awe hearing the music come to life as they delivered on every song. From beginning to end, we appreciated their responsiveness, thought and care. They were extremely personable and detail oriented. We are so grateful that Musical Heart Strings was able to be a part of our wedding day to make it so special and memorable!

    We have known Gretchen and Kerry for years and have the pleasure of listening to their amazing performance at a local cafe so when it comes the time to finding entertainment for my husband's and mine joint 50th birthday celebration, it was a no-brainer to book them. The booking process was seamless and professional. We were blown away by the huge selection of music in different genre. Both ladies arrived at our party early to set up and prep. They are total pros and we deeply appreciate that. We 100% will recommend them to everyone! Thank you!

    Musical Heart Strings are the best! My wife and I reached out to a couple of different violinists to see who could play at our wedding ceremony. We got some responses back but none made us feel as comfortable as Gretchen did. From the very first meeting, she understood our vision. She knew exactly what was required to give us the best service possible. With the many meetings we had with Gretchen, she would always assure us that we had nothing to worry about, and she could not have been more right about that. Musical Heart Strings has a long and extensive repertoire of songs to choose from, which is one of the biggest reasons they drew our attention. We wanted a very specific song for myself to walk down the aisle to (Regalo De Dios by Julion Alvarez) and unfortunately, they did not have that song in their repertoire. When I mentioned it to Gretchen, she assured me I had nothing to worry about. We found the music sheet online and with ease, they were able to learn it and play it for us. It was beautiful. Our guests even told us how their music added to the ambiance and how every time they hear those songs on the radio, it reminds them of the ceremony. And these are the types of moments that I will cherish forever. And it was all thanks to Gretchen and Kerry. You can not only see the chemistry, but you can feel it between them as they are orchestrating. The professionalism and care given to my wife and I during one of the most stressful times of our lives, was second to none, and I cannot be more grateful for them. With that being said, I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!

    Musical Heart Strings was a pleasure to work with for our wedding at Winchester Mystery House. They are so friendly and gave us many options, as well as a large playlist to pick from when designing the soundtrack to our day. They performed for our guests before our ceremony, during the ceremony and at cocktail hour. I'm so happy they were able to be a part of our special day and were the perfect touch to our wedding.

    Musical Heart Strings went ABOVE and BEYOND for us at our wedding in April. We requested three custom arrangements and Gretchen was so responsive and gave us frequent updates to the progress of our arrangements. They even provided a midi version of our procession song for our rehearsal. On top of that, it's tough enough planning a wedding during the pandemic but they were one of the few vendors that already had their own safety protocols - evidence based and actually up to date!

    I'm so glad we hired Musical Heart Strings for our wedding! They added so much to the day with their extensive and very diverse repertoire. Picking our song list was so fun because they have seemingly endless options to choose from! We ended up opting for the quartet option and couldn't have been happier. They sounded absolutely beautiful together! We asked them to play through guest arrival, our ceremony, and our cocktail hour. Working with Gretchen was a breeze - she's incredibly professional, responsive, and genuine. I had multiple people compliment me on their performances and even passed their contact information on to a friend who asked for it for another wedding! Pro tip: Think twice before letting your photographer take some pre-ceremony formal photos right next to where the Heart Strings are playing! It was an already emotional time, but the tears really started to flow with the beautiful sounds of Ed Sheeran instrumentals in the background! It was all I could do to keep it together and stay photo-worthy! :)

He played the Orator Version of Frederick Douglass, and another actor played the action character Frederick Douglass (and also had lines) during the Stage Reading Oration. When we arrived, there was plenty of street meter parking outside around the theatre. There is a brewery directly across the street and a Mexican Food Truck in front of the brewery. The food truck is a bit pricey ($16 per person). I advise that theatre goers explore having dinner prior to arriving to the show. The venue offers a full bar, coffee, hot cocoa, and vending type snacks. Snacks include: candy, Pringle Chips, fresh popped popcorn in boxes, bottled waters, and sodas. There are not hot food items nor sandwiches at the venue snacks/bar area. I recommend that they get pastries to sell to patrons, this would go a long way for those who ate dinner before a show. The theatre seats 90 people, there is a row up front in the orchestra pit area for disabled attendees. The stairwell aisles of the theatre are wide with 2 stair transitions, which is safer than most. The seats are a bit cramped, but cushioned. The sound and lighting is great for a stage reading format. Overall, this was a great experience and the cast came out afterwards to meet with the audience members in the theatre entrance foyer/lobby. Our friend, Wayne, and the whole cast, did an excellent job in this performance!
