Q&A

We perform for weddings (preludes, ceremonies, cocktail hours), church services, corporate events, private parties, and any special occasions throughout the Southern Tier and surrounding areas. 

Our pricing varies based on ensemble size, performance length, location, and event details. Please contact us for a custom quote tailored to your event. 

Absolutely! Music selection is flexible and tailored to your event. 

Clients may choose all of their music, select a few favorites or preferred genres and have us curate the rest, or leave the selections entirely to us based on our professional experience.

For wedding ceremonies, we also provide guidance on how many selections are typically needed for each part of the ceremony.

Yes! Special requests are welcome with advance notice and are subject to an additional fee. If a piece works well for strings, we’re happy to accommodate whenever possible.

You can contact us by email at southerntierstrings@gmail.com, through Facebook or Instagram, by calling Kait at 607-725-0840, or by using the form on the "Get in Touch" page of our website. We will follow up to discuss your event and send a contract once details are confirmed. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your date and is applied toward your total cost. After that, the fun begins with music selections! We provide unlimited communication and coordinate with venues and event planners to make the process smooth and stress-free. 

We are an acoustic ensemble and typically do not require amplification. Our sound carries well in most settings. For cocktail hours or larger events, some venues or DJs may choose to place a microphone in front of the group, but amplification is not required. 

We do request that four armless chairs are provided. 

Yes, weather permitting. Our wooden instruments must be protected from:

• Rain

• Direct sunlight

• Extreme temperatures

(We may require shade or cover for outdoor performances.)

Our standard attire is professional black, but we’re happy to follow a specific dress code or theme if requested. 

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel, please notify us at least 30 days before your event. The $100 deposit is non-refundable, but no additional payment will be required.
