Our wedding ceremony was as beautiful, special and memorable as we could have possibly asked for, and we owe that in large part to the extraordinary music played by Keys and Strings.
It was truly amazing how much emotion and atmosphere was created by having them play for us: we could not have imagined doing it any other way! Having live music was one of the best decisions we could have made, and Jeremy and Lalitha not only played brilliantly for us, but they were also a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire planning process. We strongly recommend them to any couple!

We cannot express how much joy your talents brought to us and our guests. We could hear the music from a distance while we were in the forest for pictures and it was so magical. The entire process was so joyous and we can’t wait for our next big event so we can have you back!

I have had the pleasure of hearing and enjoying Keys and Strings play for many new brides at the bridal shows that I have participated in over the years. This June I had the pleasure of not only walking down the aisle to their music for my own wedding, but allowing all of our family and friends to enjoy their music and talents during the ceremony and for the cocktail hour. Our wedding was outdoors and having Jeremy and Lalitha play really added to the ambiance of the afternoon. They are extremely talented and such a thrill to work with in planning all the musical aspects of our wedding. Great musical team! I will refer this team to any and all of my clients and friends.

Keys and Strings supplied the background dinner music to my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and accompanied our multi-generational guests in a rousing and touching sing-a-long to end the evening. The piano and violin added a warmth to the atmosphere that only live music can deliver.
