Grammy-winning artists like Pearl Jam, Shawn Colvin, Eliza Gilkyson, and Bob Schneider and many others have trusted their music with Strings Attached. Your wedding music will be in good hands. When Pearl Jam came to Austin in October 2009 to record their live Austin City Limits Studio show that would be broadcast nationally, they could have choosen to fly in anyone. They instead choose to entrust the strings portion of the show to Strings Attached. Strings Attached has performed with 3 Grammy award winners with 5 Grammy's among them and 7 Grammy nominees with at least 26 nominations among them. True world-class musical diversity. Will Taylor and Strings Attached is a variety band from Austin, Texas that can play just about anything you dream of. Rock, pop, swing, jazz, motown, country: you name it. See our website or below for our current playlist, but keep in mind we can do virtually any song you want.
We can make all that happen.
Every Strings Attached complete music package comes with a one-on-one personal music consultation to discuss your wedding music questions, special songs, concerns. We'll walk you through the entire wedding ceremony and reception, listen to your ideas and make suggestions as needed. Planning a non-traditional or unconvential wedding? Strings Attached can write custom arrangements for every song that you want played in the best key for the singer. Many times we're asked to accompany a singer or musician in the family. Maybe your aunt would like to sing Ave Maria with the string quartet or your brother wants to sing a song for the first dance. We'll set up a rehearsal, make sure the song(s) is in the right key and make it happen. Strings Attached can play an entire night of Beatles albums with arrangements voiced for our band, a reception's worth of classic rock, or a night of swing music. Or we can blend them seamlessly into a custom mix where even your most musically challenging guests leave the event feeling satisfied.

"I've been to dozens of weddings and heard dozens of bad DJ's and marginal bands. Kristal and I wanted the very best for our wedding. After reviewing several chamber quartets for the ceremony and dance bands for the reception, we decided to hire Will Taylor and Strings Attached. Will Taylor and Strings Attached provided every note of music for our wedding and reception--all 6 hours of it--from Pachebel's Canon in D to Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll. In between there was music as diverse as Franz Lizst's Liebestraum to Alanis Morissette's "Head Over Feet," from Lyle Lovett to Emmy Lou Harris to The Rolling Stones "She's A Rainbow." The musicianship was awesome, from the first note to last, in all cases equal to or better than the original artists. And, in case you think I'm just making noise and have a "tin" ear such is not the case. I have near perfect pitch and over 40 years' experience as a pianist. I have been a guitarist and bass player for well over 30 years and I have written dozens of original compositions and played in a band. I know good and bad music when I hear it. Will Taylor and Strings Attached are first class all the way. Hire Will Taylor and Strings Attached, and scratch "Wedding and Reception Music" off the items to worry about. Really!"
