Caitlin and Lea were such a joy to work with! Hiring live music for a wedding can be daunting but Caitlin made this process such a breeze. She is not only professional and such a talented artist but she gave off an easy going vibe that left me stress free when choosing Bespoke for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. 10/10 recommend!

I cannot recommend Bespoke Strings highly enough! They were so easy to work with in drafting a personalized playlist for our ceremony/reception and were a lot of fun in adding their own unique flare/suggestions for the event. Our friends and family couldn’t stop praising how beautiful the music was. Julia and I still talk about wanting to go back and sip cocktails with such a talented group playing. Highly recommend!

Booking Bespoke for our wedding was probably one of our best decisions! Caitlin was SO EASY to work with and incredibly professional. She went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly and that the sound was perfect. She took all of our requests and made them happen with ease. The music was spectacular and all of our guests were in awe. We cannot thank bespoke enough for adding to the magic of our day. You won’t regret working with Caitlin!!

We booked the string trio through Bespoke Strings for our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing!! They were the perfect addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour! They are outstanding musicians. Our wedding was in a wide open outdoor space so we added on the amplification package, and I’m so glad we did. You could hear the strings perfectly. Not only are they very talented musicians, but they were also very easy to work with. Caitlin was very responsive and did a great job working with me to choose the particular songs I wanted for the ceremony. I can’t recommend them enough!!!

Caitlin played cello with piano backtracks during our Women’s Member Member golf tournament pairings party at the Kiawah Island Club and she did an amazing job! She was very professional and well prepared. Her beautiful music added a great ambience to our event and all the ladies were appreciative of her talents. The event lasted two hours and was predominately outdoors. She does a great job of adapting her equipment setup to the layout of any venue. I would highly recommend adding Caitlin to the experience of any event that you are hosting.

Remarkably talented — Amazing breadth of repertoire — In the highly crowded wedding vendor market of Charleston, Bespoke Strings easily rose to the top of our list. Their musicality coupled with the range of material and their wonderful arrangements made the decision instant. We booked them immediately, afraid we would lose our date! At the service, Bespoke played with panache, enthusiasm and romantic intonation while at the cocktail hour they played my daughter’s contemporary choices with exactly what our celebration radiated - fun, joy and everything is wonderful in the world when two soul-mates find each other and are serenaded with their favorite love songs. Bravo Bespoke Strings!

I highly recommend Bespoke Strings for any wedding! It was very important to my parents that we have live musicians for the ceremony, and we could not have picked a better vendor. We contacted them with fairly short notice and they made sure to fit us in. They have an extensive selection of songs to choose from, everything from classical to modern! They played beautiful traditional songs during our ceremony, and played modern hits (Taylor Swift, Coldplay, etc.) during our cocktail hour. They also took the time to learn a new song especially for our ceremony, which made the moment even more special. Such an incredible group of musicians!
— Kelsey M. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (WeddingWire, The Knot Review)
Having a special event and looking for the hypnotic melody of 2, 3, 4 or more strings that will bring the nightingales off of their lofty perches? Look no further than BESPOKE STRINGS in Charleston. They will forward you a massive song selection and willing to learn new songs just for your special event. They are beyond professional to work with, ready to perform on the spot, organized, priced right and aim to please. Your guests will be in awe and you will be in awe knowing you made the right choice!

Through Gena Buff of bWedCharleston, she secured the violinist with Caitlin who assigned our ceremony to Robbi. My husband and I were blown away! Our whole elopement experience was beyond our expectation and adding a violin to the ceremony added class and professionalism. Caitlyn and Robbi added such class to our ceremony, I’m forever thankful we decided to add a violin. I highly recommend working with Caitlin and Robbi. You will not be disappointed.

Catilin is super responsive to all questions. Second only to her talent! I am so glad to have had her beautiful live music at the wedding. The perfect backdrop to the most wonderful day!
— Megan W. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (WeddingWire, Google Review)
Caitlin was prompt in answering all of my questions and making suggestions. She was patient when I made several changes. The music for my reception & cocktail hour was perfect and exactly as I wanted. The duo was highly complemented by other guests.

As a wedding planner it is important to have vendors that you know you can count on. When I hire Bespoke Strings on behalf of my clients, I can be certain that the musicians are going to be timely, professional, and give the couple a wonderful soundtrack to their day. The communication and booking process is easy and they are always willing to go the extra mile. I look forward to many more beautiful weddings together!

My wife and I hired Bespoke Strings to provide music for our ceremony and our cocktail hour at our wedding, and they were beyond everything we could have hoped for. They learned several songs just for our special day (including the Jurassic Park theme which we received compliments on throughout the day), but their playlist doesn’t need any help at all. They know all the classical pieces and standards you would expect, but for us it was their arrangements of pop music and popular songs that stole the show. It seemed with every song they started a new ripple of energy zipped through the crowd as people reacted to and recognized the song. People really went wild for the Game of Thrones theme. On top of Caitlin and her group’s unparalleled talent, BeSpoke Strings are just very nice and professional people. Caitlin was super easy to work with, very excited and agreeable when it came to learning our special songs, and the entire group was very professional and courteous on the day. We even had a couple of additional musician friends of our own performing who said they loved working with and appreciated the help and collaboration from BeSpoke Strings. All in all a fantastic experience, in fact if I could do one part of our wedding day over it would be to take more time to listen to BeSpoke Strings.

Caitlin is polite, organized, professional, and completely responsive to the needs that I had as a client. She went out of her way to thank me for the opportunity when she departed from my reception. She and her teams music was beautiful. I would absolutely recommend!
— Jessica W. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (The Knot Review)

Bespoke Strings was a beautiful addition to our wedding! The days leading up to our wedding, Caitlin was so professional and helpful with the preparation of music! Our guests LOVED the music and performance, and we are still getting compliments on this sweet, talented duo.
— Neyra G. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Facebook, WeddingWire, Google Review)
I can’t say enough about Bespoke Strings. From the beginning, Caitlin was incredible! Their playlist is vast and impressive. Bespoke’s string duo was an awesome addition to our wedding - it made for a unique, fun, and unforgettable touch. If you are looking for a modern approach to music for any event... I absolutely recommend Bespoke.
— Kimber B. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Facebook, WeddingWire Review)
Can’t say enough about Bespoke Strings and their incredible talent! Of all our vendors on wedding day, they were at the top of the list and absolutely flawless! Caitlyn was a pleasure to work with in creating the perfect blend of music and working with our soloist for my daughter’s wedding. Our guests were completely captivated by Caitlyn on the cello...the very reason my daughter chose Bespoke Strings! It was a magical day that was made complete with the most beautiful music this side of heaven. Highly recommend them for any special event!
— Carolyn L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Facebook, WeddingWire Review)
Bespoke strings did a fantastic job playing at our ceremony and reception. All communication with them beforehand was quick and professional. They were punctual and were all set up and ready to go, the music for the ceremony was flawless and they even played hymns that everyone sang to. We had a duo for the wedding ceremony which is inside and a trio for an outside reception. I would highly recommend them!
— Louise H. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Facebook Review)
Caitlin and team did an amazing job! They transcribed my requested songs and they sounded beautiful. They were on time and responded promptly to every email. Highly recommend!
— Lauren M. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (WeddingWire, Google, Facebook Review)
Caitlin and the trio at Bespoke Strings were wonderful, thoughtful, and a pleasure in every way. They have a very cool vibe, and yet Caitlin was super calming and sweet putting up with my constant questions and requests. They learned a song specially for us to play as my mom walked me down the aisle. Truly classy act and I would highly recommend them for a wedding or any event!

The best last minute decision turned into the best dang decision I made for our wedding!!!
I believe his name was james, spoke to him from afar! What a way to surprise all of my guests and wedding party! Wasn’t easy keeping it hush, but, wow did it turn out great! Follow your heart and just listen to the music. Thank you and recommend for any occasion!!
— Megan C. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Facebook, WeddingWire Review)
Bespoke Strings was the perfect choice for our wedding in Charleston. Caitlin responded right away to any questions we had. She worked with me to help customize the exact ceremony music we wanted. I highly recommend this be your choice when looking to book a string quartet. You will not regret it!
— Lisa C. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Facebook Review)
My fiance, family, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice of Caitlin and her fellow musicians at Bespoke Strings! We chose the string trio for our intimate dinner party reception of 60 guests at Planters Inn. Caitlin was incredibly responsive, helpful, professional and enthusiastic in every communication and conversation leading up to our big day. It was such a delight to walk into our reception and hear the group playing amidst our group of guests - they really created the absolute perfect ambiance we envisioned for the evening. The talent and range of genres provided by Bespoke Strings is remarkable - we had everything from Classical to Jazz to Taylor Swift. We chose not to have a dance floor and Caitlin’s group kept the energy up, without overpowering people’s conversations. We really wouldn’t have changed a single detail, and I can’t recommend Bespoke Strings enough! Thank you, Caitlin!
— Caroline D. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, WeddingWire Review)
Our wedding music was beautiful!! It was such a fun, crazy, and wild day so it went by kinda quick but got to see Caitlin to tell her how wonderful they were. Everyone was fantastic, especially Caitlin. Thankyou so much for coming out to Middleton to play for us. It was beautiful!! Thankyou again for doing such a elegant and beautiful job!!
— Rachel H. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Facebook, WeddingWire Review)
Caitlin Tarver and violinist James Anderson play a String Duo at our wedding. From the very start of our experience Caitlin went above and beyond with exceptional service. We live on the west coast and we’re unable to meet her in person before the big day however she got on the phone with my fiancé and I and educated us on the stings as well as helped walk us through the ceremony song options and accommodated all song requests. We received many compliments from our guests and the staff at the Colleton Golf Club where the event took place. I can’t rave enough about Caitlin’s professionalism, service, and TALENT. Truly a 5 star experience all around.

Bespoke Strings will be the best addition to any wedding! We are so happy we had them play our ceremony and cocktail hour! Our guests raved about them! Caitlin is SO great to work with! She is super easy to contact. Bespoke Strings is so reliable and we never worried once knowing we had them playing our music! I was having trouble deciding on music and Caitlin happily and quickly sent me recommendations with links to listen to the songs on strings! I highly recommend Bespoke Strings for your wedding, cocktail hour or any other event!
— Taylor H. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (WeddingWire)
Very Talented String Duo! We loved having them play at our event and would recommend them 100x over!
— Britt W. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (WeddingWire, GigSalad Review)
Caitlyn provided just the right mix of pop, Christmas, and classical music at our holiday party. She was professional in every aspect of our experience. Bespoke Strings was easy to work with from booking through the event. I highly recommend booking Bespoke Strings. Beautiful music and professional musicians.
Thank you and we hope to have you back!

We wanted a Cellist for my daughters wedding and cocktail hour. We are not from the Charleston area so I scoured the internet. Out of all the sites I looked at and videos I watched. Caitlin was the best. She handles the business side of things like a pro and of course her professional playing skills are unbelievable.
— Sandra E. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Facebook Review)
Bespoke Strings provided an excellent performance at our event and I would gladly use them again! Willing to perform as a last minute request and had a great music style! Thanks so much!
— Sophia L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Facebook Review)
My wife and I got married last summer in Greer, SC. Caitlin Tarver of Bespoke Strings played cello for the ceremony, and I could not have made a better choice! I am a classically trained musician, and had a few special requests that are out of the wedding norms. Caitlin was willing to work with my every request and provided her own professional opinions when I was in need. Caitlin was patient, timely, and communicated with me frequently. Bespoke Strings helped make our wedding truly special.
— Matt W. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Facebook, WeddingWire, Google Review)
Fast to respond, professional, friendly, very accommodating, excellent performance! Would recommend to all for any special occasion! Thank you for a special night!
— Phillip + Emmalyn ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google, Gig Salad, WeddingWire Review)
Caitlin, from Bespoke Strings, was sensational to work with! I had requested a special song to walk down the aisle too that was not on their play list. She got back with me immediately and said it was not a problem, that she and her team can learn the song before the wedding. To say it was perfect was an understatement. She and her team are the best. I highly recommend Bespoke Strings!
— Jenna T. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google & WeddingWire Review)
Very professional, had great ideas to add to the ceremony and very good at what they do. Helped make our day perfect!
— Brad L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Google & Facebook Review)
BeSpoke Strings exceeded any expectations we had for our ceremony music. We wanted the music for our ceremony, while guests were being seated and waiting for the ceremony to begin, to be entertaining, recognizable, but appropriate for the setting. We decided on pop songs during this time, a few of which we were not sure BeSpoke had done before, but asked with high hopes that they would be able to play the songs for us. Without question, the gals not only learned the music we requested but played it eloquently and beautifully. Their level of professionalism and musicianship not only blew us away, but left our guests with jaws dropped (we even had a few people ask if we had soundtracks from the ceremony. :) The scene was set with beautiful people, scenery, and decor, but the ceremony music undoubtedly pulled everything together for an experience that was perfect.

This is a slightly belated review for Bespoke’s string quartet and their amazingly beautiful music for an April wedding. I did research online before deciding on Bespoke, knowing it might be somewhat of a risk to choose someone with whom we had no prior experience. We were so lucky. From the beginning to the end, they were professional, and I did not have to worry one second about them or their lovely music. We had so many compliments on the music and just could not have been happier. Thank you to the beautiful women of Bespoke! We love you!

Caitlin of Bespoke Strings played cello absolutely beautifully at my wedding. She has such passion for her music! I received the video of my wedding this week and was able to enjoy listening to all of the songs she played. If you want passionate and talented musicians to make your wedding day absolutely special and perfect, I hope you will hire Bespoke Strings!!
— Amanda L. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Facebook, WeddingWire, & Google Review)
Bespoke Strings and recording artist Shaliek / Shaliek Rivers performed during my ceremony and cocktail hour this past June. They were AMAZING! They made our wedding SO special. They played beautifully, and when they performed Turning Pages by Sleeping at Last, my heart melted walking down the aisle! Caitlin was so easy to work with, so flexible, and responsive! I couldn’t have asked for anything/anyone better! Bespoke played during my ceremony and cocktail hour this past June (2015). They were absolutely amazing! Caitlin is one of the easiest people to work with! Her repertoire is extensive! She has music for everyone! They played so beautifully! I would recommend Bespoke Strings to make your event extra special!
— Ja'Vona S. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Facebook Review)
Caitlin did an exceptional job at our wedding. She played the traditional pieces for our ceremony, then played some modern pieces during the cocktail hour. Everyone had nothing but praise for her and her music. I would certainly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a musician for an event in the Charleston area.
— David G. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (WeddingWire Review)
Caitlin made our special day even more beautiful, from prelude to reception. She set the tone of elegance and class and performed beyond our expectations. She was one of the most talked about during the reception and days after the wedding. My wife and I couldn’t be more happier using anyone else. THANK YOU, CAITLIN!

After speaking with Caitlin Delaney (Tarver) of Bespoke Strings via email for several months prior to our wedding, I was already confident that she would provide the perfect musical touch to our ceremony and reception, but on the actual day, she exceeded our expectations, as did the flutist that accompanied her. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any potential bride, and I wish her nothing but success!
