Divisi Strings

We hired a Spanish guitarist through Divisi Strings to play during our cocktail hour and ceremony. The man who played was very professional and talented, and everyone enjoyed his music very much! He was willing to play some music that I had requested and accompanied a vocalist friend of mine. It was a wonderful background to the wedding!

Divisi Strings did a wonderful job of setting the mood before the ceremony and we enjoyed a more upbeat mood during the reception. They played beautifully.

Divisi Strings was a nice touch to our ceremony. Having them plan prior to the wedding helped remind guests a ceremony was to begin soon and they needed to take their seats. The music was lovely. We had an outdoor wedding in a small space and the sound level was perfect. I was going to go with a four piece but they were the ones to tell me that a three piece was sufficient in our space. This information saved us money. My only regret is that as Bride and Groom we did not get to enjoy the pre ceremony music.

I was very glad to have Divisi Strings at my wedding since their music is so unique and beautiful. Unfortunately since our ceremony venue was outside, their music got drowned out by general outside park noise and the wind. But right after the ceremony they moved into the reception area and played for the cocktail hour and some of the reception. Everyone was blown away at how beautiful they sounded. I would definitely recommend Divisi Strings, but not necessarily for an outside space.

I hired a Divisi duo for our ceremony music and cocktail hour. They were wonderful! I had no problems... they arrived plenty ahead of time, played the music we requested, and everyone thought they sounded great!

(I left a review earlier, butthen discovered that my daughter's wedding date was WAY messed up - wanted the readers to know that this is a very recent review-her wedding was 02/19/2011). So, once again: Divisi Strings did an amazing job at my daughter's wedding. They were easy to work with before the wedding, showed up on time, and were a delight to work with. They have a vast array of music to choose from and are extremely professtional - they know their job and they also dress appropriately. Just a great addition to the wedding ceremony without breaking the wedding budget. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Divisi Strings is fantastic! They are so knowledgable about their music, not to mention they sounded great! I think they're a little more expensive than you might find elsewhere, but definitely worth it to be able to work with a company that is hastle free. I had a singer who they accompanied and they were very flexible in working with her as well. I say, book em now!

Very professional and talented. The music was wonderful.

Our ceremony music turned out beautiful. Divisi Strings played 30 minutes prior to the ceremony and they played our music when we walked down the aisle. Very professional! Everyone loved the music. Thanks

They did a great job. It was very easy to set up too.

When I first saw Divisi strings at the bridal extravaganza I was impressed by how beautifully they played. I asked them to play the Ave Maria, because since I was a little girl I have always wanted to walk down the aisle to that song. I had listened to different string quartets play this and I just hadn't found the one. When Divisi played the Ave Maria, it was so beautiful and moved me so much that I was brought to tears. Then and there I knew that I just had to have Divisi strings play at our wedding.As a bride you get to work with many different vendors and Divisi was one of the most professional vendors that I had the pleasure to work with. Shelli, the president was prompt in our correspondence and always ready to answer any of my questions. We met with Tony, the other owner and he was kind enough to meet with us at a later time because of my work schedule. Tony was patient and listened to all of my ideas and had great ideas to share with us. We had a string trio for the ceremony and a pianist for cocktail hour and dinner. The guests all had wonderful things to say about the music. The musicians were great and the accommodated our requests. Our pianist was wonderful.. I love disney songs, broadway and elton John and she played a lot of my requests. We had a great experience with Divisi strings and would not only use them again but would recommend them without any hesitation. They really add a touch of class to your event.:)SandraMarried 5/1/2010

Divisi Strings were really professional. Honestly though, I didn't get to hear much of the ceremony music so I might update this after I watch our wedding video. But besides that, they were great to work with. They have a large repertoire. They played "Clocks" by Coldplay for my recessional! I would definitely recommend them.

Great job, provided ceremony and contemporary cocktail hour music...AMP'd lived up to their name!

If you are looking for a high maintenance addition to your wedding, I would book Divisi Strings. They were great while they were booking us and taking our money, but after we met with them and reviewed things we had already discussed in a contract they signed their tune changed. I plan events for a living and have never been so disgusted with a vendor's unprofessionalism. Plus, when they got to our wedding their high maintenance continued by not sitting where we needed them for photos. So we paid a ton of money and nobody could hear or see them. What a horrible vendor. NEVER use Divisi Strings!!!

I hired Divisi Strings' Amp'd Quartet for my wedding ceremony and reception. They were absolutely fantastic! I didn't want a DJ at my wedding. I wanted something classier and more personal. I knew I wanted live music, and I was excited when I heard Divisi at a wedding show. They were great to work with, they were extremely professional, and they played a great selection of music. All of my guests without exception complimented our choice of music - everyone was beyond impressed with Divisi Strings. They were one of the highlights of my wedding and I am so glad I hired them!

This company was very professional with the best musicians in HOuston. The process is easy for picking music and meeting to discuss day of details. The company crosses all their T's and keeps in touch so the bride does not have to worry about all the last minute dtails and payments, etc. Everyone at the church ceremony complimented on the music and reported that the wedding was very elegant and classy- the music flawless. Competitive price for this service as well.

Divisi strings were AMAZING!!! I only met with them once but that was all I needed to know that they were perfect for my wedding. They were very easy to get in touch with, gave great recommendations when needed and sounded beautiful when I heard them play. They weren't overly pricey like some other musicians that I got in touch with. I am so glad that I was able to have Divisi Strings perform at my wedding, they were perfect!

I hate to be redundant with the other reviewers, but Divisi Strings is fabulous. The musicians were ready and professional and talented and added so much to our ceremony and reception. From the initial contact to the last note played at the reception, it was "harmonious." These folks are responsive, professional and flexible. Hire Divisi Strings -- it'll be one less thing you have to worry about in planning your big day. Reliable, professional, talented, easy to work with -- I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

They were very easy to work with. We could do phone meetings to decide on the ceremony music and they would help and had get suggestions. The ceremony was beautiful and they were a elegent touch to the day.

These guys were great! They were affordable.. easy to book.. and so professional!They got all the information they needed from me, worked with the music minister from my Church, and confirmed everything we me the week before the wedding.They were easy to work with and sounded great!

Thank you so much Divisi Strings for being so very professional and open-minded! We wanted very non-traditional music for both our ceremony and cocktail reception and we contacted numerous classical musicians. However Divisi was the only company that was fore-thinking enough to accommodate our request and not only did they accommodate our request they hit the request out of the park! Tony really listened to what we wanted for our ceremony and cocktail reception music and he made it happen. The guests loved the powerful Latin pieces that played during the ceremony and the hip-hop music that was played on the strings during the cocktail reception.

Divisi Strings was fantastic!! We used their string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail reception. They custom arranged 5 songs for our ceremony, and then played some really great classic rock and hip hop during the cocktail hour. It was all absolutely beautiful. Special thanks to Tony, who was super easy to work with, and who did an amazing job with the music for our wedding.

The string quartet that played at our wedding was wonderful. I was sad because I didn't get to hear most of the prelude and processional music (since I was standing outside the church) but I heard from many guests how beautiful the music was. We surprised our guests by having our recessional to the Star Wars Wedding March!

The musicians from Divisi Strings were excellent! They are extremely talented, and guests attending my May 30th wedding ceremony absolutely loved the string quartet. Several people commented on how beautiful they sounded. I felt like having them play at my wedding made everything so elegant. Some of my guests said they teared up when the string quartet played The Lord's Prayer. I like the fact that they have a large selection of religious songs they can play for your service. They were extremely effecient! My husband and I loved having them as our ceremony musicians! I highly recommend their services to future brides! Thank you Divisi Strings!!! You absolutely ROCK!!!

my husband contracted divisi strings to play during our wedding ceremony. they were very professional, showed up early, and were ready to go! very responsive with email and there prices are competitive. we had requested 5 special selections which they did not have in the repertoire; not only did they find the score to play but they played the pieces flawlessly. we were very satisfied and look forward to using them again.

Divisi was amazing. They made my wedding ceremony so elegant and booking them was so easy. I've been telling everyone about them and I love to listen to there CD.

Divisi String provided a very beautiful music and were professional and very easy to work with. I highly recommend.

Everyone recommended them & I was very impressed with the initial meeting. They've been very easy to work with & have a nice selection to choose from.

They were AWESOME!!! Thats about all I have to say, I am very picky when it comes to music, since I have played piano for 16 years of my life now and have received the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award. As long as you, or they have the sheet music, they can play juat about anything. I am a contemporary gal myself, they played Journey's "Don't Stop Believing," as I walked down the aisle. For our unity sand (instead of unity candle) The Police's "Every Breathe You Take." I received so many complements from guests, and I was so glad I used them for the ceremony music. A strinbg quartet, or any other live music at your ceremony really personalizes your wedding.

Absolutely fabulous ceremony musicians. We used the string quartet for our wedding and the beautiful sound of the music just gave my guests goosebumps!

We loved this group, my only wish would have been to get a recording of the music that they'd played. We had so many compliments on their work but we were too busy with guests to really get to enjoy it. Great job!

My wife and I absolutely love the Divisi Strings. We have hired them for our one year anniversary gathering this coming November! The nicest people I have ever persaonlly worked with.

These are truly outstanding musicians. The quality of their performance is extraordinary; they set a wonderful tone and spirit for the wedding.In addition, they are a pleasure to work with: cooperative, pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. They offered helpful suggestions and did exactly as they were asked.Their sound is absolutely wonderful. We have professional musicians in our family, and they were thrilled with this group. You could not ask for better musicians for your wedding than Divisi Strings.

They're wonderful... my family and friends loved the music at my ceremony... it was so romantic and elegant... love them!!!!

Divisi Strings exceeded my expectations on my wedding day! The music was very important to me and my family. My parents still talk about the splendid music. I highly recommend Divisi Strings!

I found them at University of Houston while I was attending there my senior year of college. I heard about them through other music majors.They gave us excellent service. They were very professional and were on time. On my wedding day I was in tears when I saw the room all set up before the ceremony took place and they were sitting right there waiting and ready to go with a smile. My wedding was one week after hurricane Ike and they still were professional and contacted me to relieve me of my stress of me knowing the knowledge that they would still be present at our wedding. They played all the pieces that I requested and added a little extra. I am so proud of them not only have they all graduated from the music school of music of University of Houston there business plan has expanded in the past year that I have know the music group. They did an excellent job and were reasonable with there prices and would recommend to anyone to have Divisi Strings play at there wedding ceremony or reception.

Very professional band, arrived right on schedule and dressed very nice

They were very responsive and ended up doing a wonderful job. My only drawback was that I had to use a recorded version of my song because I didn't have the sheet music to them in time. In talking with their manager, there was never a length of time specified for them to learn music. I sent it two weeks before and the harpist said they couldn't learn it that fast. It was disappointing, but I think the piano version was beautiful. It worked out, but if you use them make sure to get your music to them well in advance.

The music was great! The band was even nice enough to play a 20 second interval for a down time period at the last minute. I asked them for this right before the wedding started and it was no problem. Shelli was always nice and responded to all my emails almost immediately. They were able to play whatever I wanted as long as I got them the music, which I did. It was awesome. I Would definitely recommend!

We actually had Divisi Strings of Dallas play for our wedding. They were great! The ceremony wouldn't have been as amazing.

I decided I wanted strings at the last minute, and the people at Divisi were very helpful. They had a great nontraditional selection. Honestly, I was so wrapped up in the moment I didn't really hear the music, but I hear it was great!

Shellie and Tony from Divisi Strings were great to work with and their musicians did a splendid job the day of the wedding. They always responded to us the same day and acommodated every single request we had! The quartet played Dave Matthews and Johnny Cash at my request!We would recommend Divisi Strings, highly!

We had quite specific ideas about what music we wanted when during the ceremony, and during our consultation both of us felt the man we met with lacked some confidence in being able to assure us we could have what we wanted. However, we all agreed on some music choices; there was one piece that Divisi Strings wasn't sure they could get but they said they would let us know.On the day, we didn't hear most of the music beforehand and it wasn't until we watched the video that we found out what had happened. The piece they weren't sure about wasn't anywhere to be seen, and there was at least one other, very well-known piece, that wasn't played, even though it was one of our favorites and we had stressed that we really wanted it played. We were somewhat disappointed and let down, especially as we hadn't known beforehand. That would have helped.However, the string trio that played really did a great job for the pieces they DID play! The sound they made was exquisite and in spite of them not playing everything we had asked, I would recommend them to anyone who is serious about having decent music at their wedding.

Absolutely gorgeous music, great value for the money, extremely flexible. They changed the times for me several times as well as stayed after the ceremony to play during drinks. They even played The Godfather for my Italian in laws!

Divisi Strings played at my November 2007 wedding. They were amazing not only to work with but to hear. All of my guests enjoyed them. I am still receiving compliments on my wedding and the musicians play a huge role in those compliments. I would recommend them to everyone!!

The music was great! We will definitely refer our friends to you.

You guys break the mold of the string quartet stereotype. It’s just my opinion, but a wedding without a string quartet is like a day without sunshine….. Note to all: Need cool, personal, non-canned music for a wedding in Texas? These are the go-to professionals!

Thank you SO much for your little "I Care" package that you sent me for Lauren's Christmas present. It was so thoughtful. and so perfect! If your violin is anywhere near as sweet as your disposition, we are in GREAT shape!

Once again, thank you so much. We truly look forward to having you become such a large part of our daughter's big day.

Dear Divisi Strings,

Paul and I would like to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job on our November 16th wedding at Villa Antonia. Through the entire ceremony the music was so refreshing and in sync so to speak with what we requested pre-wedding. We couldn't imagine having anyone else perform on the most important day of our lives. Thank you again!

I wanted to thank you and Divisi Strings for your wonderful performance at my wedding and reception. We have received so many compliments. My only regret is that I wasn't able to just sit and enjoy your music. I have been recommending you to everyone.
Thanks again.

Thank you Tony. You all sounded fabulous and were a pleasure to work with. I wish you could have heard yourselves under the tent and inside the house. The sound was superb.

When the client realized what she was hearing inside was coming from outside, she was amazed...

Thank you again and we hope to see you again soon!

Outstanding performance. They played upstairs in the back of the church, some family members attending the wedding thought the music was recorded and being played from a CD. They were surprised when the priest marrying us thanked the trio for their beautiful performance. They really made our wedding a special, memorable day we will never forget.

Truly a class act! Divisi is ahead if their time in creative aspects! You cant go wrong with this pick!

This is the most creative group in Houston. Perfect for the couple who wants their music to be original.

I've had the pleasure of shooting several events where this great group of musicians performed. Don't let the "strings" fool you, they can play anything and make it sound great! No matter what your style or taste, they can make it happen for you!

Great Work! Highly recomended by Cleopatra Palace Banquet Facility and Catering Co. Houston, TX

Divisi Strings is a very talented group of individuals who play together beautifully. I had the pleasure of listening to them for several hours from the ceremony through the reception. I would highly recommend them for your wedding or event.

Divisi Strings are the most professional musicians in our business. We love having them play at Butler's Courtyard. They are always early to set-up and accomodating to the bride's. Love their music!

these guys are top notch and very talented! really enjoy it when I get to shoot a wedding with them!

Some might consider DJs and Musicians competitors and in way that is true however I would say there is NOTHING like Live Music and there is nobody better than Divisi Strings. My biggest complaint with most (Quartets/Strings) are the long breaks in between songs. Don't believe me, next time you are at an event time it. It doesn't take that long to turn a page. The good news is you won't have that experience with Divisi. They play the song then flip the page and play the next song. While I'm on the topic of playing...they can play anything...ANYTHING and play it really really good!!! So no more worries if you don't want to walk in to Here Comes the Bride. Whatever the song is and regardless of the genre they can play it!

Thank you! Wonderful job at Grace's wedding. Looking forward to working with you more in the future!

Great sound, professionals you can trust! Green Lily recommends Divisi Strings for your special day

Divisi Strings is fantastic! Your musicians were very professional and they played beautifully during the ceremony and cocktail of a wedding that our company, Event Solutions, coordinated! Event Solutions will definitely be recommending this company to our future clients! Thank you so much for your professionalism and timely arrival! We could not have asked for better ceremony musicians!
