"You only get one chance to get the ceremony music right...and Forte' Strings definitely got it right!"
Mr. Cowan (father of the groom)
"There are other quartets out there, but it is wonderful to hear one that has been classically trained and plays with precision! I really enjoyed your music."
Guest at Johnston wedding and reception
"Our wedding was perfect!!! Our string trio was the extra touch we needed to make our evening memorable and special for the bride and groom and guests!!!
My only regret was I did not get to meet you and thank you for playing at our wedding!! The music was beautiful and if anyone needs to know if it's worth having live string music instead of it piped in thru the ceiling, have them call me!! Worth it and more...Priceless!!
Thank you all and add to your long list for referrals for a perfect 10!!"
Mrs. Parsons (mother of bride)
"Good afternoon Sharon.
I wanted to extend my thanks again to you and your group for the excellent music service that you provided at my daughter Whitney's reception Saturday. The music was wonderful, so professionally performed. We had many compliments about your playing. There were other musicians that were our guests at the event and all said your group was the best they ever heard! Thank each of you for making our reception the beautiful one that we know it was."
Mr. Smith (father of the bride)
SIMPLY ELEGANT
"Words cannot express how happy our entire family was with Forte Strings. I feel like I should hire an orchestra to play in their honor.
One can imagine perfection but Forte Strings has mastered it. On April 21, 2013 they played an integral part in our daughter's wedding in the garden. The ambiance created by their strings before, during, and at the conclusion added the crowning touch to the romantic/sacred event. They are exceptional musicians who play very well together making each selection a delight.
In addition it is important to note that Sharon is exceptional at communicating with everyone involved. And the selection of music available is remarkable. So if they are available on the day of your special occasion do not think twice - they are the best ever."
Mrs. Nelson-Duac (mother of bride)
"Sharon and team,
Thank you all for making Madison and James' wedding day beyond perfect! I so enjoyed listening to you all at the ceremony and I was so glad that Madison and James had chosen you all to perform. You all are wonderful!!
Thank you again for performing so beautifully. It was perfect! I look forward to working with you again in the near future!"

Thank you very much for all that you and everyone with Forte' Strings did to make our wedding so beautiful and memorable. Jason and I received many compliments on the music and appreciate the extraordinary job that you did. I am terribly embarrassed that I did not have an opportunity to thank you in person after the ceremony, but please know that we appreciate how much you honored our requests and made the day truly beautiful. We will certainly recommend Forte' Strings to anyone seeking a quartet. Thank you again so much!"
Whitney and Jason (bride and groom)
"Sharon,
I just wanted to send a note to say thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful job your team did at our wedding on Saturday! I never got to meet you in person to thank you, so I wanted you to know how incredibly grateful and happy we are with the wonderful music. It was beautiful and added exatly the right touch I was looking for to the wedding!
Thank you so very much for the wonderful job you did and I am going to recommend you to any and all of my friends/acquanitances/strangers I overhear talking about weddings that need musicians.
Everything was so perfect and beautiful, thanks again!"
Megan R. (bride)
"Forte' Strings was a superb ensemble who played in an outdoor venue, in high 90 degree temperature and displayed extraordinary professionalism. Even without the benefit of a rehearsal to coordinate the wedding activites, they were flawlessly "on cue" filling the air with beautifully played classical music. Their music far exceeded my expectations and enrichened the ceremony for all to enjoy. Many, many compliments were given. Simply the best trio I have ever had the pleasure of working with. And, will call upon them again and recommend them without hesitation."
Dwayne L. (father of bride)
"Dear Sharon,
Thank you for being such a pleasant part of our 50th anniversary celebration. The guests enjoyed the Forte' Strings music very much. I will contact you on another special occasion. Thank you again for helping to make our evening so memorable."

Guest at Lewis/Lee wedding
"Dear Sharon,
I always love working with you. Forte' Strings is my favorite strings group to work with! You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for everything. Looking forward to many more."
Shari Johns (Certified Wedding Consultant, "As You Wish...Wedding and Event Planning")
"Wow! How do I begin to "sing" the praises of Forte' Strings? I have had the privilege of officiating numerous weddings with this outstanding String Quartet. When my part of the ceremony is concluded and Forte' Strings finish the last notes as the Bridal Party recesses, I want to shout bravo, bravo, encore. It is not unusual for the guests to erupt in applause because of the sheer artistry and musical perfection of this group of musicians. I highly recommend them to any bride who is asking about using live musicians for her ceremony, reception, or both. I enthusiastically endorse Forte' Strings."
Marty Younkin (Minister with LoveNotes)
"Wow!! You've really set yourself out among the others. One group just said "see website and decide for yourself if you like our music...", but that response doesn't say anything about the group's personality or service. I'm glad you responded so professionally and promptly. We would like to hire you to perform for our ceremony."
Scott Sawyer, groom
"Thank you Sharon for all of the help that you have provided me. I can see that Forte Strings is the best fit for my event over ALL the other musicians in town! You have been the most pleasant to work with and helped me above and beyond the services anyone else has provided. I look forward to working with you in the future.
"Forte Strings was wonderful! All of our guests said the music was the best they'd ever heard at any wedding. They even learned a special arrangement of a Metallica song for my husband, and he and all his friends LOVED it! It was a dream to have such a beautiful quartet sound at my wedding, and I couldn't have picked a better one to make my wedding so memorable."
Ashlie Y. (bride)
"Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. The music was absolutely beautiful! We could not have asked for anything more lovely then the wonderful sound of the violin/cello duet. The music created an enchanting atmosphere that truly helped in making our wedding even more special.
Words cannot express how much we appreciate you both in helping create a perfect day! Thank you also for helping with the music program and also being there at the rehearsal.
If we are ever asked about who we would recommend to perform the music for any occasion, we will definitely recommend Forte' Strings."
Matt and Karen C. (bride and groom)
"EXCELLENT STRING GROUP - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I have nothing but praise for Forte Strings. Sharon, the group's contact person and lead violinist, was an absolute pleasure to work with. I needed a trio to play for my mother's funeral at very short notice, and Forte Strings provided exactly what I was looking for. Sharon was professional, communicative, prompt to respond to questions, and very knowledgeable about appropriate music. They were able to play specific pieces I requested as well. Fair price, appropriate attire, puncutal, professional. Absolutely excellent. I would use them again, hopfully under happier circumstances. Carrie B."
"I really do not know where to begin. This group was awesome!! They are the easiest people to work with, very cooperative, friendly, just made us feel like we have known them for ever. They made our appreciation service very memorable. The church congregation is asking "When are they coming back!" Our pastor and wife were just blown away by their excellence. They were very prompt and timely. We will be contacting them very soon for some upcoming events. If you want pure excellence, bliss, and a wonderful event, call Forte' Strings. They are simply the best!!. Cymien H."
"Forte Strings - Quartet was absolutely PERFECT for our daughter's wedding day! The group was particularly accomodating, even learning a new song that my daughter and son in law wanted played during the lighting of the unity candle. They made the day even more complete by allowing us to personally select all the music. They arrived early and met with me to ensure that everything was just as we wanted it. Everyone is still talking about how wonderful the music was. If anyone is looking for a group for a special event...look no further - you couldn't find anyone better than Forte' Strings. Debbie L."
"Sharon was wonderful to work with, she's incredibly helpful and was able to assist us laying out the best music arrangement for our ceremony. I can't recommend Forte' Strings enough - not only were they talented musicians and sounded like a dream, but they are extremely professional, reliable, arrived early, have great communication skills and are very organized. They made our big day a HUGE success. We received many compliments from guests how much they enjoyed relaxing and listening to their elegant sound prior and during the wedding. We couldn't be more pleased. They are amazing! Leslie C. (bride)"
"Sharon and Forte' Strings,

"Dear Sharon and other Forte' Strings members...
My wife and I wanted to express our appreciation for your providing the music for our daughter Rebecca's wedding on September 8. You were absolutely fantastic! The music was beautiful and your interpretation right on the mark. When I walked down the aisle with Rebecca as you transitioned to her entrance, I was overwhelmed. The prelude and postlude music was superb. We had so many people come up to us at the reception remarking how beautiful the string music was and that it set the wedding apart from any they had ever attended. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts."
Mr. Perkins (father of the bride)
"Sharon...many thanks to you and your incredibly talented string quartet. Truly, the beautiful music you played was the highlight of our event.
