Eliana Strings

We found Eliana Strings on theknot and hired the string quartet for our wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to hear much of them because I was so caught up in what was going on BUT all of our guests made a comment about how amazing they were. Our guests really enjoyed the song choices (that we got to pick!). I love how they play so many contemporary songs! Anna was awesome to work with and very responsive to all our questions and emails! Thinking of hiring them again for a future party so I can actually sit and listen to them!!! Thank you again! You ladies were awesome!!!

I love Eliana Strings!
The one thing I’ve always wanted at my wedding was a string quartet and I was willing to spend for this as my «one thing» to splurge on! Luckily I didn’t have to spend too much for their amazing services.
Anna was very responsive and professional in arranging the group for our day. Her team beautifully complimented our cocktail reception in the garden of the Hotel Del Coronado. They were very nice and I was very gracious to them for being there. One thing that I wish I had done (and it’s my fault for not) was ensure they were under the gazebo or in a place where their sound could be amplified more.
I’m grateful that they were able to play all my music selections– all modern music btw– which really entertained the guests. Wish I could’ve set a video recorder on them so I could have enjoyed their music myself since I was running around doing «brides» stuff.
Definitely recommend!

I grew up playing upright bass in classical and jazz groups so I knew I wanted a string quartet for my wedding ceremony. I also love supporting younger musicians because I know how hard it is to make a living playing music. Eliana Strings played beautifully and everyone loved them at our ceremony at the Catamaran Resort! They are extremely easy to book — no in-​person meetings necessary — and they are very professional — they showed up early and left before we even had time to thank them. They played a variety of classical and pop music starting 30 minutes before the ceremony began. For our ceremony we chose «Marry You» by Bruno Mars as the processional, «Bless the Broken Road» by Rascal Flatts as the Bridal Entrance song, and «Wake Me Up» by Avicii for our recessional. The music was beautiful and fun and set the mood perfectly for the rest of the night!

Anna and her team at Eliana Strings are incredible. Anna was helpful from A-​Z. She knew the venue, knew what music would be permitted by the church, knew what would work best with our themes and overall vision, etc. Very low maintenance. No hand-​holding or special requests. Absolute professionals. They knew exactly where to be and hit it out of the park. Having a string quartet elevates the experience of the entire wedding ceremony to another level.

Anna and the team were FANTASTIC! Having a quartet at our wedding was a HIT… not only with us, but also with our guests!!!
Eliana Strings worked with us to customize the playlist for the processional, recessional and the cocktail hour. Their extensive catalogue of music provided such a unique touch to our big day!!! We primarily used classical music for the ceremony, but they jammed pop songs (Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Journey, etc) during the cocktail hour.
Anna is a true professional in every aspect of the word. She’s personable, easy to work with and always responsive. You would be doing yourself a favor by going with them– it was an easy decision for and us and probably one of the best ones we made for our wedding. We can’t speak highly enough about this team.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Anna for adding the personal touch to our perfect day! We LOVE you!

I had the pleasure of working with Anna Piland with Eliana Strings this past weekend. Her and her team were fantastic. It rained at the Forum in San Diego (which was so unlikely to happen), and she was flexible and so professional about everything. Especially since we had to move the ceremony inside at the last minute. It was my pleasure having her there for my bride and groom’s wedding. I would highly recommend her company for any brides future events.

My wife and I met at the opera and we both were long-​time patrons of symphonies and orchestras before we met. So we were very particular about hiring a fantastic quartet.
Eliana Strings surpassed our expectations. They learned new (and very difficult) music that we requested. Their performance was flawless.
I highly recommend them. Fantastic.

We had Eliana Strings trio play at our wedding on 3÷2÷2013. They were easy and professional and played beautifully. Anna was great to work with and met me in person to set the music up. On the day of the wedding the musicians arrived, set up, and started playing with minimal direction. They were professional and helped to make our wedding perfect. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a string trio/​quartet at their wedding.

I have worked for Anna as a wedding musician for over two years now. She is one of the most organized and responsible wedding music coordinator I’ve ever worked with. She is super sweet, knowledgeable and would go that extra mile for her clients. Anna has a huge collection of wedding ceremony and reception music. I think her collection is still expanding as she is always composing new music upon requests. She makes sure her musicians have enough songs to play and avoid repetitions. Anna always make sure we have the time and location well in advance so everyone would be there earlier than scheduled start time. As a newly wed myself, I would highly recommend Anna’s Eliana Strings to our friends and families!
