Chris was amazing to work with, we are so glad we picked him to DJ for our reception! He was a recommended DJ from my venue and from the first moment we contacted him he was fun and efficient. At the wedding, his set up was really nice and professional looking for both the DJ booth and the photo booth. Whenever we had questions leading up to the day and afterwards, Chris and his team responded extremely fast. Our family aren't big partiers but Chris brought out a fun vibe for everyone to enjoy and we had a lot more dancers than we thought we would. Our 4 year old niece was on the dance floor the entire night! The photo booth was also a huge hit and we got some awesome photos of our guests that way as well. Highly recommend!

We knew after the first meeting with Thomas he was going to be our DJ. He sat with us for an hour going over every step of what to expect for our wedding during our first meeting. We discussed entry, first dance, final dance, exits, and much much more. We booked him first before all other vendors, and I feel this initial meeting and brainstorm with him really laid the foundation for what else we needed for the wedding. After this meeting we put the deposit down as we knew he would have our backs. From then on, he called once a month just to check in. Some months we just a simple "hi" and others we did have things we wanted to review. He was awesome the whole entire process and day of everyone was loving the music. After the event, he sent many photos and videos he took, which was awesome because these were candid moments no one knew were being taken but also a snippet before we got anything from our photographer/videographer. I cannot recommend Thomas enough and say to any bride or groom out there that this will be money well spent to get a night you will always remember.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

String Theory Music 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $400
  • Serves Gainesville, FL

With over 20 years of experience, our network of professional musicians is dedicated to sharing our love of music with the community. Whether you're planning a wedding, private party, corporate event, recording session, or in need of orchestra or small ensemble music, we've got you covered. Let String Theory Music set the tone for your event with beautiful music that will create an unforgettable ambiance.

We booked String Theory's string quartet for our prelude, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour, and they were hands-down one of my absolute favorite parts of our wedding day. I am honestly so overwhelmed with (positive) emotion when I think about what they added to our day that I don't even know where to start. As the bride, you're really running around a lot during the lead-up to your actual ceremony. We were kind of running late, so when we got to the venue itself I wasn't really focusing. Suddenly I realized I was hearing a string quartet playing, but they were executing the music I'd selected so flawlessly, I thought I was listening to a professional recording until I remembered that it was LIVE MUSIC played at MY WEDDING. I was absolutely blown away and the emotion of the day just hit me in that moment, and I genuinely believe it was enhanced by the strings! I did a private first look with my dad and they started playing music from Lord of the Rings that I'd selected and honestly it felt like I was in a movie. The emotion was that much more powerful and I still get emotional thinking about that moment. Our guests were absolutely raving about them as well, and in every video I've seen, they are playing often challenging pieces flawlessly. My ONE regret is that I did not get to sit and listen to them more, and like...what a regret to have! Allison was so wonderful, warm, professional, and lovely to work with. String Theory is the best and I am currently finding myself trying to plot events to book them for so I can personally experience more String Theory! Thank you so much to Allison and her team for making our wedding the stuff dreams are made of!

I have over 20 years of experience playing my saxophone and have been all over the country playing on stages big and small. I also have a full band, and I DJ's too! Contact me for more details! ​Thank you!

So much fun! The Saxophone was amazing! Bradley kept the dance floor full at all times! He listened to what the bride wanted and delivered. The music and the energy made it a FUN NIGHT! I (mother of the bride) submitted a request on thumbtack, Bradley contacted me right away. I told him I had to share his information with the bride (my daughter), knowing he also plays the saxophone was the selling point. So she agreed and after several messages we hired him for the job. NO REGRET! Everyone had a great time. Especially at the end of the evening. For some reason when he played Mr. Brightside, the family went nuts and the dance floor was full again. Great time. Thank you so much!

I recently had my wedding at the Florida Aquarium and StringKeeper Entertainment gave me everything I wanted and so much more. Elijah is truely AMAZING!. We spoke to him multiple times beforehand, came up with a wedding list, went over a timeline of the wedding, and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted and didn't want. He arrived early to the wedding to make sure everything was set up in time and working properly. Music and Audio was perfect. He even helped my husband plan a surprise song for me which included a guitar. He had to improvise a couple times because my husband can't follow directions when we entered and went into our first dance, but it all went so smoothly that you would have thought it was planned. Throughout the night he made sure everyone was out there having fun. I appreciate all the time and work he put in to making sure we had a wonderful wedding. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
