Our ROOTS

Founded in 2015, Bespoke Strings began as an acoustic string group, performing for intimate weddings and private events in the Southeast. Over the years, we’ve grown into a premier boutique music contracting company, now specializing in custom, full-scale performances featuring cellist Caitlin Tarver and string artists who perform contemporary music, seamlessly blended with DJ-backed tracks and enhanced by a larger sound system. Our team brings extensive experience from hundreds of weddings and events, as well as concerts with renowned artists like Michael Bublé, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, 2CELLOS, Disturbed, T.I., and Josh Groban. Today, we provide a comprehensive experience, offering live strings with DJ performances, music event planning, emcee services, and performance design with lighting to make every event truly unforgettable.

Our Sound

At the heart of our performances is our ability to effortlessly integrate DJ sets and streamed music with live string artists. We love engaging guests through improvisation and movement, adjusting each song to create a lively, elevated experience. Performing without sheet music allows us to connect with guests, adding energy and excitement to every event. We enjoy the creativity and spontaneity this style offers, making it just as enjoyable for us as it is for the guests, ensuring every performance feels fresh. We specialize in a variety of genres—pop, rock, metal, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, country, and classics—while also offering optional traditional string ensemble sets (without DJ-backed tracks). We thrive on special song requests and customize each setlist to make every performance memorable. What sets us apart is our meticulous planning, unique energy, and our tight-knit boutique team.
