Jeanne Oliver wedding in Bellagio, Como, Italy

The Milan String Group created the most beautiful atmosphere in our daughter's wedding in Bellagio. They played before, during and after the ceremony. They then moved to the rooftop of the Du Lac Hotel and continued to play late into the night. They set the tone we had hoped for. They are extremely talented, professional and they did a wonderful job communicating through the whole process. We highly recommend them!

Joshua Garcia wedding proposal at Villa Ardore, Florence, Italy

I interviewed eight different string groups to help me coordinate a surprise proposal, which was incredibly difficult to pull off. In other words, I was not going to be able to hire just any old String Quartet that wants to come play a bunch of wedding songs, and American pop songs. I needed a specific sound and an intellectual group of musicians that knew how to strike at the right time to pull this off perfectly. Because with this level of execution, you only get one shot! Mattia with Milan String Group was the ONLY one willing to actually discuss my needs and accomodate. Yes they cost a bit more but the attention to detail from every step along the way required to ensure the musicians, singers and party attendees were all in sync made them worth every penny. Our event went flawlessly, my partner was stunned with the surprise as were so many others and I have only Mattia and the brilliant musicians at Milan String Group to thank. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and highly reccomend you do too. You made us some UNFORGETTABLE memories. Wishing you all the world and more. ♥️

Dear Joshua,

Reading your review left me truly honored. Your proposal was an extraordinary project, and it meant a great deal to me and the whole Milan String Group to bring your vision to life with the precision and artistry it deserved.

From the very first conversation, I sensed how much thought and care you were putting into every detail. To know that our contribution not only met but elevated such a meaningful moment is deeply rewarding for all of us. We are grateful for your trust, and it was a privilege to stand by your side in making this once-in-a-lifetime surprise flawless and unforgettable.

On behalf of Oscar, Luisa, Alessandro, Agostino and myself, we wish you and your partner endless happiness, and we hope to create music for you again in the future.

All the best,
Mattia

Pamela Duncan wedding in Crans-Montana, Switzerland

We cannot recommend The Milan String Group more highly. We had a string duo (violin + cello) for our wedding in Switzerland, and they were incredible — great to work with, and top-tier artists. Mattia (violin and head of the group) was fantastic to work with from the very start – planning calls, quick responses whenever we had a request – and such a kind person on top of it all. He even made a new song arrangement on very short notice when we wanted to change our recessional song at the last minute. Additionally, their existing repertoire is extensive and covers multiple genres, which made choosing songs easy and fun. They played for guest arrival, the ceremony, the cocktail, AND Mattia even joined in during the hora with his violin (like a fiddler on the roof!). On the day, they got every detail that we had discussed perfectly right. And of note: our wedding was not the easiest to get to (it was on top of a mountain, accessible via gondola only!), but this did not phase Mattia, who was game for anything. Mattia, thank you for being such an incredible partner throughout this whole process. We cannot recommend your group highly enough!

Dear Pamela & Dan,

Reading your words truly moved me — thank you for such a generous review. It was an absolute joy to accompany you on such a magical day, in such a unique location, which I’ll definitely never forget! 😄

Your kindness, openness and passion for music made the whole journey — from planning to performance — feel natural and inspiring. I’m so glad the special arrangement worked out, and I loved being part of the joyful hora moment.

Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness and of course… music!

Warmly,
Mattia

We booked The Milan String Group’s trio. They played both classical and modern tracks beautifully and with great elegance. Very professional. Thank you thank you!.

Elaina Knop wedding at Villa Aura del Lago, Lecco, Italy

We had the absolute pleasure of having a violinist and harpist perform from Milan String Group at our wedding, and they were nothing short of incredible. Mattia brought such elegance and energy to our cocktail hour, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Their timing during the ceremony was flawless — even with multiple song changes for the parents, groom, wedding party, and my own entrance as the bride, they executed everything perfectly. Communication throughout the planning process was clear and smooth, and they were truly a joy to work with. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to elevate their event with beautiful, live music!

Daniela Marti wedding in Siena, Italy

The Milan String Group took care of the music in the church and later at the reception. With their ensemble they managed to cover a great range of genres, listening to our needs and advising us on the best setlist for our big day. We received so many compliments from our guests. Thanks to The Milan String Group!

Maurizio Ricci wedding in Milan, Italy

The Milan String Group played at both the church and the reception and were truly magnificent. The harp and violin were particularly perfect for the sublime ceremony. They performed a beautiful rendition of Beauty & The Beast on special request. The quartet played beautifully throughout the reception! I absolutely recommend them!
