  Most beautiful music!

  Sharon and her team were so amazing to work with! Not only in the team’s performance during my wedding, but in helping me reschedule my wedding due to COVID. I also had some sentimental songs requested to play right before the ceremony starts and she had them timed and performed perfectly. Love Forte Strings!!

  So Beautiful!

  I hired Forte Strings for my wedding because they did the ceremony for a friends wedding years ago. I made sure to remember them because I knew that's who I wanted to play at ours. Sharon was our point of contact and she was extremely responsive and professional. Forte Strings played so beautifully and we continued to receive compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed live music for the reception. I loved having them a part of our big day!

  Perfect Choice for Wedding Music

  Forte Strings was such a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. The communication was top-notch, and they even got the music for a song that I wanted but that was not on their current playlist. My only regret is that I wasn't able to just sit and enjoy their beautiful music. I hope to get hear them play again in the future.

  Very professional and understanding!

  My wedding was canceled due to COVID, and I'm so thankful to have chosen Forte Strings. I would recommend them to anyone looking for musicians!

  Beautiful and Classy

  I loved having Forte Strings perform for our ceremony and reception! The music was beautiful and they had such a wide selection of music to choose from. Sharon was great to work with and promptly answered all of the questions that I had. I had so many guests tell me that the music was so nice and that they enjoyed listening to it during dinner. This was a great alternative to a DJ for us - it fit the ambiance of our wedding and it was the perfect background music so that our guests could still hear everyone at their table. Highly recommend!

  Easy to work with, excellent musicians.

  We hired Forte Strings to play the music for our ceremony as well as the cocktail hour. My grandmother was a music teacher and plays the piano and organ by ear. It was a really special moment when she came into my bridal suite to compliment Forte Strings. Forte Strings has an excellent selection to choose from and were easy to work with. Sharon was our point of contact. She was extremely responsive and helpful. They did a beautiful job and really added to the ceremony. Our guests loved it! I couldn't be more thrilled.

  I knew from the moment I read an email from Sharon I had made the perfect choice for my quartet. She was so professional and kind. I had them learn "Your Hands are Cold" from Pride and Prejudice for me to walk down the aisle to, and they exceeded my expectations. I also audio recorded the ceremony and I'm so glad to have had! I will always cherish their beautiful music. They're very talented and I'll forever recommended them to others.

  I knew adding Forte Strings to our wedding would "class" everything up. They were professional and friendly. Sharon was so easy to work with. They sounded beautiful! The hardest thing was picking songs form their extensive list. You will not go wrong with this group!!

  We loved Forte Strings! We hired the string quartet to play all popular music (lots of classic rock!) for our wedding ceremony and following cocktail hour. From the booking process to the big day, they were professional, accommodating and easy to communicate with. We were worried about weather in November and they assured us that they can be flexible (heaters, covered areas, etc.) and this really made them stand out from the rest. I can only recommend them!

  Forte Strings did an excellent job at our wedding ceremony. Sharon was a joy to work with during the entire process and she even put together a couple of new arrangements for us! Their music was excellent and everyone really enjoyed the Taylor Swift classics that they played before the ceremony began. I would highly recommend that you use Forte Strings for your next event! -Peyton Harris

  During our ceremony for my entrance the DJ speakers went out and in the middle of me walking down the aisle. Instead of it being a complete disaster Our Violinist and Cello duet jumped on it and completed the song. They were so quick on there feet and saved my grand entrance. Completely professional and they sounded amazing. I would recommend them to any one. They are willing to work with you as far as choosing out you perfect musical score.

  I Highly recommend Forte Strings for any event that requires a professional Violin Quartet.
  
  Sharon and her group played for my wife and I for our 35th wedding anniversary. I wanted certain songs played, which were not in their current repertoire. Sharon went out of her way to locate the music, and they put on a magnificent performance. They were on time, set up, and ready to play as soon as we walked through the door. They had to rush over from a previous engagement (which was across town), and they were still in place and ready to play at the agreed upon time.
  
  When it comes to Professional Musicians, Sharon and her group Forte Strings are at the Top of my list.

  Sharon was delightful to work with, she responded quickly to emails. I never actually met her in person since I did most of my planning via emails (living in Houston) but loved hearing the string quartet during our wedding. It was a nice and essential piece of our ceremony. Thank you Forte' Strings for providing us beautiful music on our special day!

  Forte Strings did a wonderful job at our wedding. We had an outdoor ceremony in a garden, and the string quartet was just amazing. They set the mood perfectly. They played exactly what we had asked and there were no issues whatsoever with them. They are a terrific value and are very professional. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone searching for a quality string quartet.

  Todd Evans and his group of musicians performed exceptionally at my daughter's wedding and reception. Forte Strings helped to make the overall experience one that we will never forget - many guests commented on how beautiful everything was, including the music. I highly recommend Forte Strings for any event anyone may be planning.

  My husband and I could not possibly have chosen a better provider for ceremony music. Forte Strings did a wonderful job; all the music was beautifully played and they have a huge number of choices. Our ceremony came out perfect and unique thanks to them. Ms. Hawkins was always in immediate contact and responded to all my emails incredibly promptly. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know that has a wedding!

  Forte Strings did a fantastic job providing both the ceremony and reception music at our wedding at the Japanese Garden in Fort Worth. They have a large repertoire of music across all genres. They transcribed two pieces of music for the ceremony which were written by my husband's grandfather, and they were beautiful! Todd, the quartet's musical director, attended our wedding rehearsal, providing guidance on the selection and order of music. And most importantly, the quartet sounds great! Definitely a highlight of our magical evening! Thank you Forte Strings, job well done!
