We used save the date music for our wedding on June 22, 2021. We chose a violin and guitar duo and couldn’t be happier. They were fantastic!! Guests kept telling me how much they enjoyed them. The musicians were professional and friendly. We would 100% recommend them.

"Our" song is that old 70's jam Come and Get Your Love by Redbone...a little too poppy to be our first dance song but I knew I had to incorporate it. When we found Save the Date, Katherine gave us amazing suggestions for bringing this to life as well as what logistically will be the best size/instruments for our venue (outdoors), number of guests, and instruments for the song itself. We had a guitar and violin duo who played the song not only for the bridal party, but after an appropriate pause, for my walk down the aisle as well (as I requested!). They arrived an hour before ceremony to be set

Save The Date Music was incredible! Kitty was super responsive in the booking/planning process and the string quartet did an absolutely wonderful job! The live music was a great addition to our ceremony and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. We wanted a more contemporary mix of music and they absolutely accommodated us- even going so far as to learn two new arrangements for us. The groom walking down to California Love on the quartet was SO memorable. We loved working with you- thank you all so much!

Save the Date Music was a friendly (and affordable) option for our small wedding held at the JC Raulston Arboretum. Despite starting absurdly late due to an awful hiccup with our transportation service, Save the Date was able to accommodate us last-minute and we are very grateful for this. Furthermore, the music (the most important thing!) was completely lovely and made our intimate wedding of 19, feel incredibly grand.

I recently attended a wedding where Save the Date provided the music. The music really reflected my friend's personality without being too non-traditional. She said that they really worked with her to help her choose the right mix of songs, and I think they did a great job. From what I could tell everyone enjoyed themselves. We've all been to weddings where some of the songs made you cringe, but this certainly wasn't one of them.

We used Save the Date for a variety of business functions. They're on time and professional. They'll even work with you on the music list if you have specific needs beyond the standard band/classical list.
