For smaller gatherings or intimate ceremonies, Radiant Strings partners with violinist Amber Hooke, who performs solo violin with piano and guitar accompaniment tracks.
Once you choose a package, we’ll send a contract within 1–2 business days. Sign your contract within 7 days to secure your date. The contract includes payment details for the deposit and balance that can be paid online before the event. We’re fully transparent about costs. Any additional fees (travel, custom arranging, extra musicians, added hours) are discussed up front.
We perform classical, pop, rock, and jazz on acoustic instruments without amplification. Check out our music library for a full list. Your package also includes a set number of custom songs (see pricing table), and you can add more for an additional arranging fee. We can bring any song request to life with the help of our on-staff music arrangers.
Most couples choose:
Prelude Music (1-2 song requests while your guests gather)
Wedding party (1-2 songs),
Processional (your walk)
Ceremony moments, optional (unity, signing, etc.)
Recessional (your exit).
Your Music Director will help guide the flow so everything aligns with your vision. We’re also happy to add music to any part of your celebration, even if your ceremony doesn’t follow traditional structure. We’ll help bring everything together and are fully committed to creating a musical experience that reflects you as a couple.
Ceremony coverage is up to ~1.5 hours total with ~ 1hr of music: 30 minutes arrival/setup, ~20-30 minutes of prelude, your full ceremony, and ~10 minutes for recessional. Cocktail hour/reception timing is set during planning and listed in your contract but typically consists of 1 additional hour for cocktail hour and 1.5 additional hours for dinner music. For multi-hour events, we typically take a 15-minute break between hours.
Yes, with professionals. We can coordinate with church music directors or other hired musicians like a church cantor or your wedding band. You can also expand your Radiant Strings ensemble by adding trumpet, harp, guitar, or other instruments as package add-ons. If a loved one is performing a song, we’ll pause so they can take the spotlight. We don’t accompany guest performers, but we’ll coordinate the cues for a smooth transition.
Yes and yes! We travel up to about 4 hours from Downtown Pittsburgh. Venues more than 1 hour (≈40 miles) away include a travel fee, which we’ll confirm before you book. For outdoor events, coverage (tent/covered area/umbrella) must be provided to protect instruments from sun and rain. We can perform between 52°F and 95°F. In the case of extreme temperatures, we’ll reduce the prelude length to focus on the key moments of your wedding ceremony.
Yes! Christian, Jewish, Orthodox, Hindu, and more. If your venue has restrictions, we’ll work within them (e.g., prelude / processional / recessional only, sacred or approved pieces, or outdoor performances near the ceremony site). We’ll coordinate with you, your officiant, and venue to find the best fit.
Absolutely! All of the members of Radiant Strings are allies who welcome and celebrate all love.
