They were so easy to work with! Music was beautiful. They were able to accomodate custom songs. Not to mention more reasonably priced that competitors we looked at. Would recommend! read more

We used these folks for our wedding. They were easy to work with and had a great song selection, with the ability to request songs not in their collection. The only thing I'd recommend keeping an eye on is where they're sitting at your venue. I had a hard time hearing the music because they were sitting and playing far back from the altar due to shade. They need shade and can't be sitting in the sun while playing. read more

I loved working with Terra Vista Strings!! We hired them last year when we were supposed to get married, then covid hit!! They worked with us and our new date. I'm so happy we hired them. I asked for a solo violinist for our wedding and the person did an incredible job!! I loved hearing that as I walked down the aisle, very relaxing and super awesome. I highly recommend them!! Thanks you guys so much!! read more

Terra Vista Strings - Solo Violinist that played at our wedding!! Super good!! - Performing Arts Near Me

I'm so glad that our wedding planner recommended Terra Vista Strings for our wedding! They performed during my wedding ceremony + cocktail hour and were a hit. They also offer the widest range of music, from classic to contemporary - we couldn't even believe the options we could choose from! Highly recommend hiring Terra Vista Strings for your next event! read more

5 stars! I want to thank Anthony for addressing my concerns and listening to my requests. His team provided the music for our nuptials and it was magical. He made sure that all of our musical selections were played at the precise time and order. He ensured that we had a cello player since we were desiring warm rich sounds from the trio. The team was well dressed, professional and did an exceptionnel job playing not only our classical music requests but also our contemporary ones as well. As a tribute to my now husband I requested they play La Marseillaise. Of course I did not mention this to him. If you could see the delight in his eyes when he heard his anthem. It warmed my heart, he even sang along. Terra Vista Strings was an amazing addition to our wedding. read more

We booked a string quartet with Terra Vista for our wedding and even had two custom arrangements created by them that turned out beautifully. My husband a musician and educator so a majority of his friends are musicians and they couldn't stop talking about how great the quartet was! The atmosphere Terra Vista helped create for before the ceremony and during cocktail hour made our night even more magical. They played a lot of great contemporary arrangements that even had some people dancing during cocktail hour. I am so glad we booked them for our wedding! read more

There were so many details at my wedding that I loved, but the one that I anticipated most and was probably the most excited about was to have a live string quartet play during my ceremony. You see I come from a music background and have always dreamed of live musicians playing as I walked down the aisle. When I discovered Terra Vista Strings I was immediately in love with the idea. I contacted Anthony and we set up a meeting to discuss more details. Anthony is experienced and super professional. He came to the meeting with sound clips and definitely knew what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. On the day of the event I honestly never saw them until I was walking down the aisle. It was magical. I loved every minute of what I heard. I also got a ton of compliments from my guests on their performance. They played a mix of things for us - modern, contemporary, classical. I loved the surprise exit song at the end of the ceremony - Star Wars Throne Room! The faces on my guests - I will never forget that. Anthony and his team were amazing the entire time! I couldn't have dreamed of anything better! If you are considering using Terra Vista Strings - do it! read more

I reached out to Terra Vista to play our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding and was contacted by Anthony Chen. He was so professional, helpful and knowledgeable. It made all our decision making so EASY! He was great with helping us plan out how many songs to choose and getting the vibe of our wedding and music tastes to help us fill our song list a little more if needed. They also have a wide variety of song choices for traditional and modern music to choose from. The music sounded great and it really kept the people entertained trying to figure out what songs they were.(We threw in a lot of random ones to keep everyone on their toes!) We had a great experience and highly recommend hiring them for your next event! read more

Anthony coordinated everything for us and was incredibly organized, professional, and kind. We met with him once and had everything set up, though he was willing to meet multiple times after. We hired the string trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding and it was perfect. They have a wide variety of songs to choose from and you can listen to them on their website. I think they're also willing to customize what you want if they don't have it listed, but we were pretty tame and just stuck to the classics. It was absolutely beautiful. Thank you! read more

My wife decided we need these guys to play at our wedding. I was super concerned it was going to destroy some of the cool factor I was going for and be an un-necessary cost. We went to meet with Anthony and he could tell I wanted some cool stuff aka Star Wars,Video game themes and 80's hair metal, you know cool stuff. He was totally into the idea and my then fiancé now wife was down with letting me have some say! We got string Guns N Roses and some Final Fantasy and Zelda themes and the best exit song possible in the Star Wars Throne Room march/theme! I cant say enough good things about these guys they totally made our wedding better and I would recommend them to anyone anytime! read more

We hired Terra Vista Strings to play during our ceremony and they were fabulous! We got so many complements from our guests, officiant, and even our wedding coordinator who said it was such a nice touch. It really added that extra special something to our wedding. Anthony was super easy to work with, and they have a large list of songs they can play. What really stood out to me was that Anthony and his team were willing to learn some totally new songs for our special day. We wanted them to play "A Million Dreams" and "Rewrite the Stars" from the Greatest Showman, and they did not disappoint! They sounded absolutely incredible and it's just what my wife and I wanted. Can't wait to get the video of our wedding so we can hear them play again. Definitely recommend TVS for any event! read more

So professional and so amazing. Anthony knew that he wouldn't be able to meet with me face to face before the wedding so he set up a FaceTime chat with me. I really appreciated this gesture as it would've been just fine without it but he really wanted to get to know us. Their music was absolutely beautiful - my husband is a cello player and rather picky about musicality and he definitely approved of Terra Vista Strings. I highly recommend them!!!! read more

Being the bride, I wasn't able to hear much of the music that Terra Vista Strings performed on our wedding day. But from what I was able to hear, they were tremendously professional and talented. Have you ever watched a movie and the music just belongs there in that special moment? That was Terra Vista. It felt surreal heading down that aisle and taking communion while their quartet played - their music was that perfect. During our planning sessions with them, Anthony was professional, easy to talk to, and accommodating. They have an incredible repertoire of songs they are able to play at weddings, so I was happily surprised that they were able to take on some of our own requests (that were not on the list.) We could have gone with a couple of rock ballads for the ceremony, even, but we chose to go church-style up until our cocktail hour. Thank you, Terra Vista! read more

Anthony and his team are professionals and experts at what they do. They have a variety of music styles to offer and different instruments. For my wedding, I just hired a single violinist to play while guests were arriving and for us walking down the aisle (I had bagpipes play the recessional). She followed the planners cues and it was perfect. My guests felt fancy walking into the space, listening to a single violinist play beautiful music. It really sets the tone for your ceremony! read more

Terra Vista was a hit at my wedding! All of the guests loved the contemporary music during cocktail hour, and I loved walked down the aisle to a live rendition of my favorite song. They were prompt and professional and the communication leading up to the event was thorough. read more

I loved working with Anthony and the other musicians from Terra Vista Strings. They are very talented musicians and have a wide selection of ceremony music to choose from. They were affordable, professional, and very accommodating. I met with Anthony a few weeks before the wedding to pick out music and I found him to be incredibly helpful. Initially, I didn't want to go with any "super traditional" music (like Canon in D), but he made me realize that this was the one time that I'd have that moment and that I should choose music that reflected that. I'm so thankful that he helped guide me through those decisions based on his expertise - walking down the aisle to that song is a moment that I'll remember for the rest of my life! I highly recommend them to any bride who is looking to add a traditional element to her wedding ceremony! read more

Terra Vista strings is clearly immensely talented -- it's clear to see that from their website and listening to their music. I didn't even realize I truly wanted strings for my wedding ceremony until I listened to their music online and absolutely fell in love and knew it would make my wedding day perfect. Plus, their breadth of music is truly amazing -- we had trouble choosing what we wanted for our event because so all of the songs were so good! We unfortunately had to cancel our wedding due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 mandatory closures, and Terra Vista Strings was so easy to work with, even though we didn't want to reschedule our wedding right away (which not all vendors were willing to work with us). It is such a relief to have flexible and understanding people to work with at such a difficult time. We hope to work with you in the future! read more

We hired Terra Vista Strings to play for our ceremony, reception, and part-way through dinner. We absolutely love strings music, as did many of our guests, and we knew we were asking for an exception to play for so long, but Terra Vista Strings helped us make this happen! They were very responsive to all our inquiries and absolutely did their best to fulfill all our requests, even when they were a bit unusual. Their music selection is quite large, and we loved that there were popular classical as well as contemporary music selections available. It was very easy to pick songs we wanted for our ceremony (we were provided an example list and we just went through the songs on our own), and we just wanted any kind of contemporary music from their list played for the reception and dinner - which they did beautifully! We highly recommend Terra Vista Strings if you want strings music at your wedding/event!! read more

I reserved the Terra Vista Strings quartet to play music for my wedding ceremony. You can reserve as many or as few players as you want and Anthony Chen who arranges everything is very easy to work with and very accommodating. They are very reasonably priced and well worth the money. Terra Vista Strings played two special pieces for me and one special piece for my husband and worked with us to create a good playlist for the rest of the ceremony. I got to walk down the aisle to Final Fantasy VII music! And our recessional music was from The Lord of the Rings :D And then they played my Final Fantasy music again!!!!! It was so amazing and their playing was so beautiful! They made all of my musical dreams come true! Also, my husband and I met with Anthony Chen some months before our wedding to hammer out the details and get comfortable. Anthony knew the location of our ceremony very well and helped suggest set up and drew a map for me of the bridal path. He also recommended to us our chaplain who did an outstanding job at our ceremony! Terra Vista Strings is a wonderful group to work with and I highly recommend them! You will get quality music and much much more :) read more

Terra Vista Strings played last week at our wedding ceremony and they were absolutely amazing! They were on time, they communicated extremely well and their music was beautiful! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to enhance their special day. I can't wait to have them at our big wedding next year. I hear they also do some great collaboration pieces with DJ's. Thanks again TVS and team! read more

The BEST Austin string quartet, trio, duo, etc. you will find in the Austin area to hire for your next event. Anthony and his team go above and beyond for their clients. They made sure to get me on the phone to confirm music selections before my event. Anytime I had a question, they were so quick to respond and walk me through anything. They also dressed so nice on the big day! Absolutely LOVE Terra Vista Strings - Austin's best wedding strings! read more

Terra Vista Strings played at my wedding on October 4, 2014. The music was absolutely amazing. When my dad and I walked down the aisle and I heard the music, it felt magical. That's what any bride wants on her wedding day! The planning process was also fantastic. I met with Anthony to go over all of the options. I did not know what music I wanted for the processionals. Anthony had some great suggestions that really matched with how I had envisioned my wedding to be and with my personal taste. Turned out he knew what I wanted before I knew it myself! It really showed his professionalism and expertise. He followed up with me several times before the wedding to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. So, on the big day, I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I have had many compliments from my guests saying they loved the music (some could even remember all of the songs they had played!). They called it "intimate and classy". If you are looking for wedding musicians, look no further!!! read more

Terra Vista Strings played for our ceremony and cocktail hour this past weekend at Barr Mansion. They truly made our day extra special! I had them play a special song for my parents as they walked down the aisle. Even though my song was not in their repertoire, they were happy to learn it and it sounded beautiful. Anthony was truly a pleasure to work with. He was very quick at responding to all of my emails and phone calls. Very professional!!! All of my guests kept commenting on how beautifully they played. Anthony, thank you for having a hand in making my wedding day so special! It was such a pleasure working with you! read more

Anthony and his team at Terra Vista Strings played our pre-ceremony and ceremony music. Anthony was a complete joy to work with throughout the process of planning.

Thank you Anthony and team! read more

We hired Terra Vista Strings for the ceremony and cocktail hour music and they did a phenomenal job! They learned all of the nontraditional songs I wanted played at the ceremony and it sounded so incredibly lovely! As soon as I was about to walk into the chapel and I heard them playing, my eyes started to water. It was so beautiful! Thank you so much for making the experience even more wonderful! read more

Terra Vista strings played during our ceremony, and I cannot recommend them enough. Their consultation about our music choices made the process a breeze. We actually decided to have contemporary music and were very happy with our choice. The day of the ceremony they were well dressed, prompt, and very talented musicians. I would absolutely encourage anyone thinking about it to book them for your next event. read more

My husband and I booked a string trio through Terra Vista Strings for our May wedding. We worked with Anthony Chen, the owner of the company. He worked with us for a few months prior to our wedding to help us decide on our song choices. Terra Vista Strings has such a large selection of music to choose from. You can request anything from Beethoven to Willie Nelson to Michael Jackson. It was really hard for us to choose. We had so many songs we wanted played and Anthony found a way to fit all of our choices into our ceremony. Terra Vista Strings stands out for many reasons. They have great prices. They are very punctual and always respond within 24 hours. And their music... I can't say enough about how beautifully Anthony and the other musicians played at our wedding. Other than the music, what I love most about Terra Vista Strings is that they make it so easy for the bride to focus on the most important thing, her wedding. The music was taken care of so far in advance that I didn't even have to think about it again until I heard it on my wedding day. If I ever plan another event where I need musicians to play, I will absolutely return to Terra Vista Strings! read more

For anyone on the fence about a wedding string trio/quartet, rest assured it is an AMAZING experience and adds some beautiful flair to both a pre-ceremony gathering and, of course, the wedding ceremony itself. Terra vista is a perfect option for providing this service; they have an immense range of options across all genres, they are highly professional and worked well with other wedding staff, and they were personally very pleasant (and helpful!) in the lead-up to our ceremony. For a wonderful performance and amazing service, Terra vista gets 5 stars from us! read more

I used Terra Vista Strings at my wedding two weeks ago and they were fantastic. They played everything to perfection, no issues or problems. Their music is beautiful and they are so talented. They played through the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner at the reception and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They were fantastic! read more

Anthony was great to work with. The musicians were outstanding and their music made our wedding ceremony special. There were many times during the reception that i looked over at them sitting under the trees and it looked like a scene from a romantic movie. They played music that we all liked and we were really appreciative that they learned 2 new songs for us that we had requested. I highly recommend them! read more

I couldn't have been happier with Terra Vista Strings! Their string trio played at my wedding ceremony and part of the cocktail hour. They were extremely accommodating with specific song requests, but they also had a huge list of pieces to choose from. They have sound clips on their website, which really helps too. Anthony, was very professional and so easy to communicate with. I recommend them for sure! read more

THE BEST! I loved everything about Terra Vista Strings. They were our first vendor to book and it was by far the best experience. Anthony was super helpful, super flexible, and super friendly. We got tons of comments about how great the music was at the reception. I wish we'd booked them for longer. I wish I could book them to follow me around and be my personal soundtrack. read more

Fantastic experience with at our wedding. Working with Anthony was a true pleasure and the music he and his group provided at our October, 2013, wedding was fantastic. We wanted a mix of traditional and contemporary music and Terra Vista ably provided just what we wanted. The group sounded great, looked appropriate and professional, and fulfilled--no, exceeded our expectations. The music pleased all ages--my late 40's friend played me his iPhone recording of the music weeks later and a friend's 13 year old, impressed, said "Wow! They're planing a Cold Play song! A good Cold Play song!" Anthony will help you select music and he even gave us good tips about when to start the music and how long/when they should play. Over-all great and I will use Terra Vista Strings again. read more

I had a string trio for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I was so excited to work with Terravista - not only was Anthony so easy to work with and responsive, but they had a variety of music to choose from! Everything was beautiful and so many people just raved (including me) about the music! I highly recommend using Terravista Strings - they truly added the magical touch to my special day. read more

Terra Vista Strings provided the amazing Grace for our cocktail hour music at our wedding in February. She is INCREDIBLE! She plays violin with tracks to give you a more modern and interactive experience for your guests. We were able to give her some direction on song choices and honestly trusted her to do what she felt was best. We still have guests talking about how amazing she was and friends who have booked her for their weddings since. As a wedding coordinator, Terra Vista Strings in ANY capacity is a must have. I have worked with them in every capacity, from executing 7 piece groups that include trumpets, to learning custom songs for clients, to working with singers to ensure the wedding music is perfect for every one of our brides. Their attention to detail is like no other and they will work with us and our clients to get the perfect plan for each event. I highly recommend Terra Vista Strings! read more

Terra Vista Strings was the perfect choice for our wedding. The music was absolutely beautiful and they had such a wide range of songs to choose from (contemporary to classic), including the option to pay a little extra and have them learn a new song if you really have something special and unique in mind. They were so easy to work with and communication was a breeze. Hearing their music playing before my ceremony really got me excited and helped to calm my nerves, and then walking down the aisle to just the song that I was looking for really helped cement the moment for me. It was such a beautiful ceremony because of them and I am so glad that we got to work with them! Anthony was so professional and kind when helping to choose and coordinate the music and select the size of the ensemble that would best suit our space. read more

I decided last minute that I wanted strings during my ceremony. I called Terra Vista just 2 weeks before my wedding and they arranged a solo violinist for my wedding that was an hour from Austin. Anthony was very quick to respond to all my questions and he helped me plan the music for the ceremony. Vladislav was the violinist and his music made the whole ceremony so elegant. I wish I could have sat in the chapel the whole time and listened to him. I heard such great compliments about him after the wedding. He also accompanied the officiant on a song and it sounded so beautiful. If you want to add an elegant touch to any occasion for a very reasonable price, I highly recommend Terra Vista. read more

Terra Vista played at both our ceremony and cocktail hour and did a beyond fabulous job! They created such a lovely ambiance for our guests. We would definitely suggest using them for any type of gathering, from weddings to corporate events! read more

Anthony and Terra Vista Strings were wonderful to work with! We used their string trio for our wedding in April in Dripping Springs and the process was very smooth for us. Anthony quickly responded to our inquiry with a reasonable quote, and he was very helpful during the entire process. He had to chase us down a couple of times, and both our music selection and timeline changed the week of the wedding, and he was very gracious about it. We used a contemporary music selection for our cocktail hour, including Michael Jackson, Coldplay, and many other bands. We selected a couple of songs we preferred not to have (my new wife is not a Lady Gaga fan) and let them choose the rest. For the ceremony, we used a mix of traditional and contemporary songs, and Anthony was both very helpful with selections and quick to listen to our requests. We have gotten many compliments about the music from our friends and family, and we would certainly recommend them for any wedding or other special event. read more
