Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 23, 2019•From Washington, DC
String Poets was wonderful, so professional! They played "At Last" as I walked down the aisle at my wedding. The Officiant began to speak before the song was over, and the quartet simply and smoothly faded out the song. They also expertly accompanied my cousin, a singer in the Michigan Opera, in singing "The Lord's Prayer." At the end of the ceremony, as my new husband and I exited the venue, the quartet expertly played Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." I definitely recommend String Poets. They made our ceremony -extraodinary-.

I couldn't have been more pleased. These guys sounded just perfect! They played a non-traditional piece for me as I walked down the aisle - Dvorak's Humoresque No.7 as well as other pieces we selected for the reception. They are finely skilled musicians and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a string trio (they also have a string quartet) for their event.

This is my second time booking them for my event. The event was three years apart and it seems that they have gotten even better. On time (early to set up before the event), pleasant and professional and their sound was as if I was listing to a CD: Clear, Pure, Perfect. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. It has been a pleasure once again and will definitely use them again.

String Poets are talented and generous. Our memorial service at Wolftrap was a challenge as it included a classical set, a dove release and several secular pieces interspersed within a program. Extraodinary musicians and professionals, the String poets hit every challenging entry, page turn and pause.
As a modest singer, I would recommend String Poets to enhance any gig. They make you sound like a star. Their accompanment to Josh Groban piece ("To Where You Are") was straight from heaven.

These gentlemen were spectacular. Top-tier musicianship and their playing was rich, emotive and flawless. And just the nicest guys you'll ever meet. As others have said, they arrived early and were set up and ready to go. They gave our event that extra special touch of class and pomp we were looking for. I hope to have an occasion special enough to call on them again. Thank you!

Great group, unmatched talent based on all the other groups I looked at. All the wedding guests raved about them and asked where I found them. Very accomodating and worked with me the whole way through. All in all, I'd say the best spent money throughout the entire wedding. Highly recommended!!!!

Radhi Santos and The String Poets played for our daughter's wedding ceremony in Midlothian Virginia. They arrived promptly, played beautifully and were enjoyed by all. As a special surprise they performed a selection that the bride had requested on short notice much to her guests and her grooms delight.
I would recommend The String Poets to anyone wanting an exceptional experience.
Thank you,
Mother of the Bride

Although I didn't even have time to speak to any of the performers on the day of. My family and friends that dealt with them thought very highly of them. The music was perfect for the ceremony and Radhi Santos was very accommodating via email when I was working two jobs before the wedding and had little time to go over things. String Poets definitely added elegance to our special day.

Our previous arrangements with another quartet fell through and within a week's notice, I was able to confirm the String Poet's Quartet for my engagement. They were very accomodating and very professional. Their contact person even returned my phone call while he was on vacation to assure me that all would be well and that they would take care of us. And they definitely lived up to their word. All of the guests at our engagement thoroughly enjoyed them and are still talking about them to this day.

String Poets set the tone for the entire wedding with their beautiful music and tone. I am a professional musician and I was very particular with the music for my son's wedding. Radhi Santos was excellent to work with and impressed my son's fiance with the time that he spent with her planning songs for the ceremony. I would highly recommend String Poets to anyone. The group is made up of professional musicians who perform as principals with major area orchestras. They are highly trained and take pride in their work. Thank you String Poets for making my son and daughter in law's wedding such a beautiful occasion.

Mr. Radhi Santos and his quartet provided an outstanding performance for our 4th annual awards banquet where we had nearly 200 guests in attendance. His quartet arrived promptly and was ready to perform when our event started. The String Poets added the polish to our event that helped put it over the top. Many guests commented on the quality of their performance and the value that it added to the ambiance of the evening. We will certainly be contacting String Poets for our event next year.

We hired String Poets for our daughter's waterfront wedding on September 20. We love many styles of music and therefore asked Radhi if String Poets could play traditional classical mixed with popular classics. He was totally enthusiastic and cooperative,even humming a song to me over the phone to be certain we were talking about the same selection. He searched for new music for the pieces which were not already in their repetoire and the performance was magnificent! He could not have been more cooperative and supportive. When it came time for the performance, the group played skillfully and with feeling! LOVELY!

My daughter's wedding was planned in only three months. The String Poets (and their lead, Radhi Santos) were a dream to work with on repertory. The musical quality of the quartet is outstanding. Friends who regularly attend world-class concerts praised their taelent and overall performance. You will be delighted to have them play for you at any occasion. Gerry O.
