Review for my wedding on oct 4 2014. Let me start off by saying this was the best investment for my wedding. I contacted them weeks before and luckily they were available. I kept constant communication with Rebecca and she was very organized with song choices. If you are the alternative bride and want some different song choices for your guests like ..queen..the Beatles..this is your choice! They played for our reception and ceremony, I kept on getting compliments from our guests the whole night on how amazing and awesome they played!. Thank you guys! we didn't get a chance to fully thank you but you guys ROCKED! read more

Subito Strings - Musicians Near Me

Subito Strings did a great job at my event. Rebecca was very responsive to emails and phone calls, and she was extremely professional and easy to work with. I'd checked out a number of other groups, and some were much cheaper but also not nearly as good. Rebecca talked to my day-of coordinator ahead of time to establish the cueing for the music. On the day of the event, Subito Strings played the pieces I requested at the times I requested without any problems. They arrived at the venue on time, they played beautifully, and they were very accommodating with my music requests. I only wish I could've listened to them more--I was too busy with the guests for most of the evening! read more

We were lucky enough to have found Subito Strings for our wedding ceremony, as I used to take cello lessons from one of its members -- and we were SO grateful for how special they made our walk down the aisle. They were able to make all of our dreams come true by playing a gorgeous version of one of our favorite songs, "Falling Slowly" by The Swell Season, especially for us -- even though it wasn't on their song list. It made for the most beautiful moment, and it still makes me tear up when I think about it. They also transitioned us into and out of the ceremony perfectly with an incredibly fun selection of songs to choose from! And as an above-and-beyond touch, they even emailed us a track of our custom song that they recorded after the wedding. We highly recommend Subito to make any event incredibly special and fun! read more

This is an outstanding group, and I highly recommend them. Firstly, Rebecca is highly responsive and accommodating. The musicians are of the highest quality and really made the wedding ceremony something special. I brought them in for my daughter's wedding to play before and during the ceremony to help add a sense of occasion. I'm so glad we chose them! They even performed a Corelli piece that I love that wasn't on their playlist, but, of course, they knew it! They are truly outstanding. What a difference they made in making the ceremony extra special, memorable, and full. read more

If you want the same old wedding music that you've heard a million times, go ahead and hire another group. If you want something more modern and refreshing, then Subito Strings is definitely who you should go with! My now hubby and I were so tired of finding musicians that only played the same music over and over, then we came across Subito Strings and while they were over our planned budget, we decided to go with them anyways. They play a lot of different music that most wedding musicians don't even offer. Example Journey, Bruno Mars, etc etc. Even the classical wedding music sounds different and better to my ears.

They definitely put more energy into the songs and really make the ceremony much more lively. read more

Subito Strings - String Trio - Musicians Near Me

We had this lovely quartet play at our cocktail soirée at a winery in Temecula on 9/6/19 and they were fantastic! The music was beautiful and the musicians were very kind. They made each top hit sound like a classical piece and it was hard not to sing along to the music. They are amazing to watch and my guests enjoyed them so much. This group has so much talent! I would recommend them for any party/event and would hire them again in the future! read more

As if you need anymore glowing reviews...but I will share anyways. The service is extremely AMAZING! Rebecca had patience and was able to walk me through months of my questions. She is patient and very well organized. Outstanding group of musicians, they have an extensive repertoire as well. I wanted to hire the quartet initially, but funds were cut from wedding budget so we hired the trio. Obviously there is a difference in getting a fuller sound, but it was amazing regardless. Thank you so much Rebecca for making our wedding day so memorable! read more

Subito Strings - Rebecca - Musicians Near Me

I had Subito Strings put together a quartet for my wedding. We had 3 songs in mind for them to play (obscure songs they didn't have in their repertoire). They composed the strings beautifully. They made our wedding ceremony exactly what I had envisioned. I also got to choose an hour's worth of songs they played for guest arrivals and post-ceremony. This library was way better than I had ever expected. I even had a friend ask me for a playlist of what they had performed because he loved it so much (Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Arcade Fire and more). I'm so impressed and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quartet for their event! read more

If you're looking for a string quartet for your special event in Southern California, Subito Strings should be at the top of your list. I started looking for wedding musicians months before I hired any of my vendors. It was important to my husband and I that we had specific songs played at our intimate ceremony and dinner reception. The hiring process was seamless: I spoke with Rebecca and secured the date and time. I was given a list of songs to choose from and there was a wide enough selection to choose our dream songs, from classical for the Processional to sentimental Top 40 songs during dinner, and everything in-between. Our musicians played from the time before guests arrived until after dinner. All of my guests commented on the beautiful music and how nice it was to see a string quartet at an intimate wedding. None of my guests mentioned when the musicians left the event--even though they were just a few feet away, no one heard them leave. Subito Strings are front and center, playing beautifully when you need them to, but they are also the consummate professionals that conducted themselves gracefully, even in front of a small audience of 30. These musicians are the best of the best --just look at their resumes--and yet they allowed our wedding event to take center stage. read more

This is the place to go to for the BEST wedding ceremony/reception musicians in So Cal. Rebecca was awesome every step of the way helping us with music selection and staying involved with the rest of the day's preparations in order to make the beautiful live music integrate perfectly into the wedding. Their contemporary music selections and upbeat style were exactly what we were looking for and found in Subito Strings. They arrived ahead of time, dressed perfectly for the event, and PLAYED BEAUTIFULLY!!! I highly recommend! I debated between spending less for another trio that may not have added the subtle style, awesome music selection, and professionalism that Subito Strings brought. I'm glad I made the right choice and trusted the importance of our wedding music to the BEST!! read more

Hiring Subito Strings to play at my wedding was money well spent. I hired the quartet to play at my wedding and the musicians did a bang up job. Their flawless performance helped create the classy atmosphere that I wanted for the ceremony and reception hour. The musicians were on time, well dressed, very professional, and of course excellent musicians. I was extremely pleased and will not hesitate to recommend you or seek your services out in the future. Thank you Rebecca. You helped make our dream come true. read more

Subito Strings is AMAZING!!! I booked Subito Strings to play for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were beyond terrific! I chose the quartet for a fuller sound as was not disappointed. They have an extensive list of music to choose from, from classical, to modern, and an incredibly talented team of musicians with impressive backgrounds. Rebecca was very accommodating, professional, and very easy to deal with! Overall my wife and I were very ecstatic to have their string quartet perform their amazingly beautiful music at our wedding! I absolutely recommend hiring Rebecca and her team for any bride-to-be's wedding!!!! Thanks again Rebecca for adding that magical romantic formula to our wedding ceremony!!! read more

We booked Subito Strings for our wedding- during the ceremony and cocktail hour. They were absolutely amazing! They offered a very wide range of music and our guests loved them. They were very easy to work with and accommodating. I would highly recommend anyone looking at these reviews to give a call and book them for your next event! (We reserved a String Quartet) read more

We booked Subito Strings for both our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Rebecca is incredibly professional and easy to work with. They had a great list of both classical and contemporary songs to choose from. A week out of the wedding, we wanted to see if it was possible for them to learn a custom piece of music that wasn't in their library. Rebecca found a composer and the entire quartet practiced it and performed it during cocktail hour. They are great and would highly recommend them! read more

We recently had Rebecca on violin and a cellist play at our wedding ceremony. They were outstanding! I cried the moment I heard "The Swan" by the cellist. It was one of the prettiest versions of that song I've heard (and I am a former cellist myself). Rebecca is very responsive and friendly, their prices are competitive and the music is excellent. They made our ceremony very special - a huge recommendation to any couple!! read more

I hired them for my wedding. They were very quick in the response to by inquiry. Rebecca was so helpful in answering all of my questions. I pretty much knew what I had wanted for our church ceremony before I had contacted her, but she helped me to make a couple changes, etc. Their planning forms were very helpful since I was able to list everything in order and everything was all planned out, piece by piece. They arrived early (though our church coordinator we had to use did not let them in on time) and were dressed perfectly. I didn't really get to say too much to them as it was such a busy day and we were trying to fit in pictures, etc. before we were kicked out for mass preparation, but they were truly wonderful. They played as beautifully as I was hoping they would, all of our family enjoyed the music and thought the ceremony was so individual to us. They said that they hadn't really ever gotten to hear a string quartet at a wedding ceremony and that it felt really special. The price was about double what we would have paid had we gone with the church musician, but it was worth every extra penny. I feel that the ceremony (wherever it is) is what the marriage is really all about and Subito Strings helped to make it unique, beautiful, and unforgettable. The only thing I ever had planned out was my wedding mass and the music to go with it and they lived up to the 28 years of expectations I have had of my wedding day and the song I would walk down the aisle to towards my husband to be. I highly recommend them for weddings, birthdays, and any other time you want a really classical and beautiful sound. read more

We hired Subito Strings to provide a string quartet for our July 2013 wedding and it made all the difference. Coordinator (and violinist) Rebecca Chung was super helpful, patient and quick to respond -- and offered great suggestions regarding song choices for the ceremony. The group has a huge repertoire, from which we chose songs from musicals, Beatles, Queen, Guns n' Roses as well as more traditional selections. They also offer songs outside their repertoire for a slightly larger fee. Overall, they are really affordable and their total price fit within our tight budget. We are so glad we booked them and many of our guests complimented us on choosing Subito Strings, whose musicians gave a beautiful, flawless performance that gave our wedding that extra touch that made it, without a doubt, absolutely perfect. read more

We went with a violinist and a cellist for our wedding.... they were amazing. We asked Rebecca if they could arrange two additional songs for us, the musicians played them like they had been playing them for years. We couldn't be happier. They were courteous, professional, and very accommodating. read more

I hired Subito Strings for my wedding in Malibu. The planning process went very smoothly, all though email. They did a great job at the event. I went with the String Trio for my small wedding and my guests loved them. They played during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Would definitely recommend! read more

I absolutely loved Subito Strings for my wedding ceremony music. My only regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to hear more of their beautiful music! I was in the bridal suite prior to the ceremony and taking photos after so all I hear was the songs at our actual ceremony. But our ceremony was absolutely perfect and I've heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests about the music I wasn't able to hear for my self. I would recommend Subito Strings to anyone planning an event in Los Angeles. read more

Subito Strings was absolutely wonderful. Prompt with email exchanges, open to song selections, and very pleasant all around. As the bride of a 600 person wedding, I only wish I had more time to sit and actually hear them perform. They played Claire De Lune as I walked down the aisle and it couldn't have been more beautiful. I would highly recommend them to any and everyone for your special event!! read more

It has been almost a month since our wedding, and we are still getting rave reviews from our guests about Subito Strings! Simply put, Subito Strings delighted our friends and family. Not only are the musicians incredibly talented - playing everything from classical to contemporary - but their business is professional, reliable and organized. Subito Strings took our ceremony to a whole different level with its perfectly tailored selections and passionate performance. We are so grateful to have Subito Strings as part of our memory of such a special day. read more

Subito strings quartet played at my July 2012 wedding ceremony and they were awesome. Rebecca was always so professional and prompt in replying to my emails. I asked them to play a song outside of their repetoire... asked them to play different parts of the song but make it into one song as I walked down the aisle. And they played it so beautifully. I wish the church's aisle was longer because I wanted to hear the song longer. Guests were commenting on how amazing they played at the wedding. I would definitely recommend Rebecca and subito strings to any couple looking for musicians for their wedding!!! Definite plus to my wedding :) read more

WOW. We had Rebecca play our wedding in October. We chose the violin/guitar combo. The performance was fantastic, they sounded great and conducted themselves in a professional manner. (punctuality, appearance) But thats not the best part. In the months leading up to the wedding, I worked very closely with Rebecca in arranging a "mini performance" for my new bride, in which I played guitar with the band. This require LOTS of emails, phone calls and patience from Rebecca, which I greatly appreciated. She helped me put together the whole thing, from arranging the music to making sure the equipment was in order, as well as performed the song flawlessly. (Myself, not so flawless!) They are true class acts, and I couldnt be happier with the level of service they provided. read more

I used Subito Strings for my December 2015 wedding in Monterey, CA. I was happy to learn that Subito Strings would travel to Monterey from SoCal for a reasonable fee to perform at my wedding. We used a string quartet for pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour. After seeing their website and some of the contemporary songs they had in their repertoire, and hearing samples, we knew we had to have them play our wedding. They offer so many songs beyond the standard classical fare often performed at weddings, and we just loved that. In fact, we mostly had them play Queen, Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, etc. and it was great. The music appealed to guests of every age, from the 20-somethings to the much older relatives. Communication with Rebecca went well every step of the way. She was easy to get in touch with and responded to my emails promptly. My one wish was that I could have enjoyed their music more on the day of! Before the ceremony I was hidden away and then during cocktail hour my husband and I had to step away from cocktail hour to sign our marriage license so we didn't get to hear them for as long as we liked, but everything I did hear was phenomenal, and many of our guests' comments to us during the reception further confirmed this. If I ever have another opportunity to hire a string quartet, I will go straight to Subito Strings. My husband and I would almost even create a special event/occasion where we could use a string quartet, JUST so we can hire them again! read more

Thank you Subito Strings for a perfect wedding ceremony! Everything sounded beautiful. Rebecca, from start to finish, you were so accommodating, professional, and easy to work with. I can't thank you enough for everything!! read more

Subito Strings played at our wedding in Feb 2012 and they were amazing. Their music was really beautiful and it was so fun and easy working with them on all of the prep details leading up the wedding. I highly recommend Subito Strings for any wedding, party or corporate event. I look forward to finding an excuse to use them again soon! read more

My husband and I hired Subito Strings to play at our wedding last August and they were spectacular! Rebecca was professional, friendly, and prompt with her communication from the very beginning--fantastic business and considering the stress of wedding planning it was so nice not having to worry about this aspect of our wedding ceremony. On the wedding day, the string quartet played absolutely beautifully-- I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to play at our ceremony! I highly recommend Subito Strings. read more

Subito Strings was a wonderful addition to my June 2012 wedding. We had their quartet which sounded a-ma-zing. I am so grateful to Rebecca for all of her quick responses and accommodations--she made my day perfect! Not only do they play more classical tunes, but they add some fun and whimsy with songs from the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Coldplay, U2, even Smashing Pumpkins, etc. All in all we loved them! read more

Rebecca from Subito Strings was very easy to work with, responsive, and very professional. On our wedding day they were on time and played everything exactly how we wanted. They made our ceremony amazing and I would happily recommend them to anyone! read more

Subito Strings and Rebecca are fantastic! We found Rebecca from online searches and called because of the great reviews we read. Subito Strings was the prefect find. Rebecca put together a quartet for us to play during our ceremony and we were able easily pick a wide selection of music from Subito's repertoire. We had one special request, to play Pure Imagination, as we walked down the aisle. Rebecca was able to play it, without hesitation, and both we and our guests loved it! A highlight of the day and a wonderful group! read more

Subito Strings did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding. Rebecca was very easy to work with and always responsive. Their performance was impeccable and elevated our wedding to a truly memorable event. We encountered a small problem on the day of our wedding which required that Subito Strings perform for an extra 30-minutes. They did so without hesitation and saved the day. Thank you! read more

BEAUTIFUL string trio for our wedding ceremony. My bride walked into a perfect arrangement of Flower Duet that put everyone in tears. Classy and unique addition to our wedding. Can play any genre/era of music. Accommodating and timely communication. Rebecca is exceedingly easy to work with and professional. Highly recommend! read more
