Guitarist and violinist with at least one of them being a vocalist (in most cases its both) We will put together robust acoustic versions of your favorite love songs for your first dance, father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. We can play the actual recordings of any of these dances through our PA if needed as well.
We will do a standard set of live songs with vocals, during dinner. That often includes addtional instruments such as ukulele, harmonica, keytar, or percussion. These songs cover a multitude of decades and genres. Check out our instagram and facebook for video samples.
We will occasionaly throw in a live dance mid DJ set. This breaks up the party vibe, and slows it all back down for a few moments. We say occasionally because there are times when it isnt appropriate, however our live music and DJ rigs are one in the same so we can go back and forth between both worlds as we see fit.

Included in any of our packages.

We have 4 owner/team leads that make up the core of String and Sound. Molly, Jason, Jose, and Zac are all trained DJs with a combined 300 + weddings under our belts. We are very request based and work off of suggestions that we've received from you and your bridal party prior to your big day. We believe that nobody knows your people like your people! We pad those suggestions with crowd pleasers from every decade, and we use a host of applications to make sure we can pull up almost any song at the drop of a hat. We are very familiar with traditional games/dances IE Anniversary Dance, Dollar Dance, Shoe Game, etc. Our team leads are all very gregarious, and you might even catch one of us busting a move when the beat drops just right!!
Includes state of the art PA equipment
Includes wireless mics and a small dance light system free of charge.

A playlist playing while guests mingle. If Cocktail Hour is in a different location than the reception, we will provide a small speaker to accomodate. Included with any of our packages free of charge.

Let String and Sound play the last song of the evening live. This harnesses the energy from the DJ'ed set, and refocuses it back on to the Bride and Groom for one last intimate slow dance. The perfect way to end an evening. Included with any of our packages free of charge.
Let String and Sound play a private dance live, this is an incredible way to end your evening while everyone awaits your send off.

A recent trend has been a campfire or an intimate get together after the reception, usually consisting of the bridal party and close friends. Let String and Sound provide some ambience while everyone cozies up around the fire. S'mores are a must!! PA NOT INCLUDED.
We will put a small speaker in the send off area and either do a live song, or play a recorded song based on your needs. Go out to a beat!!

String and Sound would of course be delighted to be a part of you holiday party or company shindig. Ask about our solo or duo options, either come with a PA system based on the needs of the event. Includes playlist in between sets. Events are usually booked in hour increments.
We can also add DJ services into the mix as well.
