About Modern Strings
Modern Strings
We are a husband and wife team located in New Haven, Connecticut who have played over 1000+ weddings and hire professionals from the top orchestras in New England. As a modern couple ourselves, recently married in May of 2021, we are very familiar with the process on both sides. Modern Strings offers a variety of ensemble choices for your budget that range from a solo violinist, to an electric duo, to full string quartet. Whether you are wanting to stay classic or try something unique, our music library can offer you classical, pop, religious, film, jazz music, and more!
We believe that the modern couple, should have modern musicians that can take play in a variety of styles in order to create a personalized experience for their event. Planning a wedding is an exciting time, and you'll have not one, but two people to assist in complementing your musical style to your wedding.

Modern Strings Will Elevate Your Event!!
From the first time we reached out to Modern Strings, Celine and Ben were incredibly prompt, professional, and accommodating. Their communication was exceptional, and they worked patiently with us through numerous changes to the music selections leading up to the wedding. On the day of, their performance was nothing short of spectacular - their elegant and beautiful playing elevated our ceremony, making it sound truly magical without the need for a formal rehearsal. Celine and Ben's attentiveness and flexibility were invaluable, and we are so grateful to them for helping to make our special day truly unforgettable.
Perfect Addition
Modern Strings came as a recommendation from Rosa at the Tyde at Walnut Beach and I couldn't have been more pleased with her recommendation. They played for my daughter's wedding on June 29, 2025 and everyone enjoyed the music tremendously. They were so easy to communicate with and very accommodating with song choices. I highly recommend Modern Strings for any occasion. They are definitely a class act!
Wonderful - highly recommend!
From the moment we booked Modern Strings, their communication was attentive and responsive. They took the time to understand our musical preferences and curated a gorgeous set list that had our guests raving about the beautiful music all night long. With their extensive song choices, we were able to easily select the perfect songs to make our wedding truly special. Modern Strings went above and beyond to ensure the music was a highlight of our celebration and we couldn't be happier with the value they provided.
Wedding of your DREAMS
Modern strings was absolutely incredible. I was never the bride that imagined my entire wedding growing up but one thing I did want was a violinist for the ceremony and they completely exceeded my expectations. The planning process was made simple with Modern Strings and the ceremony was perfect. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!
