This is perhaps the most widely used ensemble. It is a full, vibrant sound that can fill a large cathedral, but, subtle enough as to not get in the way of your important event. This ensemble can do all of the traditional and contemporary music on our list It includes 2 violins, viola, and cello. This is a very versatile ensemble in that it provides you with your choice of inner voice, either violin, or viola.
Terra Vista Strings was the highlight of my cocktail hour as well as the ceremony(other than marrying my husband). I went with a string trio and couldn't have been more pleased. Anthony & the other two musicians did an AMAZING job with all of the music. Terra Vista Strings were not only extremely prompt with their communication but they played beautifully!
Sixty minutes of time is perfect for wedding ceremonies that last about 30-40 minutes. It will include your ceremony, along with 20-30 minutes of prelude music as guests are arriving. Eighty minutes of time is perfect for longer wedding ceremonies, or for parties and corporate events. Customers who choose 80 minutes for a wedding have the option of using some of their time for pictures, or for a short cocktail hour.

Terra vista strings was phenomenal. Anthony was very professional, diligent, and easy to work with. They were very helpful in the process of music selection and guided us throughout. Their services are also fair for the quality. Highly recommend Terra Vista.

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!

We went with a string trio for our ceremony music and Terra Vista was the best choice we could have made.
They played beautifully, but also accommodated our requests for more 'off the beaten path' music like Zelda, Final fantasy, LOTR, etc. Whatever you can dream of, they can play it.
While our guests were being seated, they offered to just "play to the crowd" with string renditions of contemporary and film music. They did an amazing job, and several of our guests excitedly came to us to say they'd heard a string version of a beloved song.
Terra Vista was also great value for money, and I would

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

Terra Vista Strings is amazing! We booked them for our intimate wedding on October 4, 2020. My wife is a musician and I am really passionate about live music. It's such a relief to have true professionals playing and it made all the difference for our sacred ceremony. We requested more contemporary music than the classics and they rolled right with it. Connecting with Tony on the phone was seamless and he asked all of the right questions! Because of this, the music and timing went off without a hitch. Thank you so much Terra Vista Strings!

Terra Vista Strings made my birthday extra special. I woke up to a violinist and cellist playing Happy Birthday on my back patio. They serenaded me for an hour and played beautifully. It was a memory that I will never forget. Terra Vista Strings worked with my friend on all the arrangements and provided prompt communication. Working with Terra Vista Strings was a pleasure and I would highly recommend them for any occasion.

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!

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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

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

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!!!!
