"Of all the plans we made for our wedding, Chris was the most accomodating. He was both professional and well-organized. He provided us with great ideas on what music to play and focused on even the smallest of details. Our guests really enjoyed his music. It helped make our day even more beautiful. We both highly recommend him for any event or occasion."

"My husband, J.D., and I were absolutely blown away by the musical skill of Chris and Agnieszka ... They were gracious, patient, and having them play at our ceremony and the cocktail hour following made our wedding day that much more special. Many of our guests came up to J.D. and I to inquire about and praise the musicians and their selection of pieces. Their violin and cello duet created a magical sound that will remain in our memories of our wedding forever. We wish to thank Chris and Agnieszka for their wonderful talent of bringing "music to our ears." Thank you, our big day wouldn't have been the same without you both!!"

"We all want to thank and compliment [the Pennsylvania String Ensemble] for a wonderful performance and classy contribution to the Griswold-West wedding on August 19th. Dana and JD were extremely pleased with the quality and diversity of your performance. It added grace to the ceremony and provided entertainment during cocktails... What a wonderful day we had. Many of Dana's friends remarked to her that your presence really added beauty to the ceremony. There was a certain sophistication that your presence brought. We were pleased that you were a part."
-- Philip A. Griswold, Father of the Bride, Stroudsburg, PA
"The Pennsylvania String Ensemble's contributions to our wedding day were immeasurable. Chris and Agnieszka went out of their way to surprise us with a personal, favorite piece for our ceremony and then continued with a fantastic blend of traditional and modern music during our reception. Planning a wedding long distance can be a stressful endeavor and they masterfully coordinated all of our music selections, rehearsed with our vocalists, and kept us organzied and prepared. All of our guests were impressed by their talent and commented on the beauty of live music on our special day. We truly appreciated their professionalism, technical skill, and talent; likewise, their warm personalities and kindness will not be forgotten."

"Having Christopher Souza play at our wedding was one of the best decisions I made! He went out of his way to meet with my husband and I so that we could hand pick every song that was played at our wedding. It made such a personal addition to an already personal day. Chris contacted us several times before the wedding to confirm the songs, and even changed some at our request last minute. His talent is top notch and his personality makes his talent shine that much brighter. I couldn't have been more pleased. He is professional in every sense of the word, but makes you feel like you are hiring a friend. Chris would be a wonderful addition to anyone's function, wedding or otherwise. We highly recommend him!"
-- Jennifer and David Tracy
"Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. The setting of Skytop needed sophisticated entertainment to set the mood for the evening and choosing Penn Strings was the obvious choice. Working with Chris to confirm the day was very easy and we were confident that they would be professional and timely.

"A sincere thank you to Chris and Agniezka for creating such a magical atmosphere for our wedding! The music filling the candlelit church could not have fit our idea more perfectly for an intimate family wedding. When we mentioned we wanted to include traditional Celtic music, you went above and beyond to find the perfect pieces to make Kevin's family feel welcome after their long journey from Dublin. When I describe the wedding to our new friends in Ireland I always mention how the music gave the feeling of a warm embrace and added a lovely touch of sweetness to our night.
From the rehearsal to the performance, we had a wonderful time with the two of you - professionally we could not have asked for anything more, and personally we loved that we could include you in our family during our ceremony. I completely recommend this amazingly talented duet to any couple looking to create a mood of classic romance to their wedding."
