The variety and extent of their repertoire was amazing. They performed as true professionals to the pleasure of all who heard them."

"It was a pleasure meeting and your fellow performers; the music you played at the wedding was absolutely beautiful and added so much to the ambiance of the ceremony. I was impressed with Carnelian Strings and the ability you exhibited in the service by holding the songs during the seating so the music was seamless, that was real talent and endurance. I am amazed how something that adds so much can be almost invisible and yet so wonderful.May God bless your work and may you especially continue in the ministry of music for wedding ceremonies".

“The Carnelian Strings played such beautiful notes for our daughter's wedding. They made our special day magical. Working with Mary was delightful. She was so charming and easy to work with. She came to our rehearsal and helped us plan each step and made sure all notes were in the right order. She was very professional and yet had a special touch to help make our day unique and special. I recommend the Carnelian Strings for any special occasion. ”

“Recently, while attending a Winston School Board function, I heard a string quartet playing. The string quartet was the Carnelian Strings. Their music was inspiring and ranged from the 18th century classical to movie themes, ragtime and pop, one after another. I have heard string quartets many times in the past and they were good. However when I heard the Carnelian Strings I was impressed, the music was awesome, fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend this group for anyone – no matter what the occasion.”
