"Brooke was so easy to work with throughout my planning process! And the anticipation of having her play at our wedding was more than met with success! Brooke's music brought me to tears, and all the guests had nothing but incredible things to say about it/her. We are so happy she was forever a part of our special day!!! -Eli&Emma - February 2024 - Glen Sanders Schenectady NY

"Will and Brooke did a phenomenal job playing at our outdoors Catskills ceremony and cocktail hour.. went out of (their) way to make my dream of having live music accompany our guests as they walked the ten minutes to our stream side ceremony. We are so lucky they were able to play our wedding and can't thank them enough for making our day so memorable." Rebecca Marmor - May - Blue Moon Resort, Big Indian NY
"Brooke was amazing! Very easy to work with and very accommodating. She played every song that we wanted to hear for our wedding!!! Highly recommend working with her!!" John - June 2022 - Saratoga
"Brooke is a very talented musician and a true professional. We reserved Brooke in January for our wedding on the bank of the Hudson River on June 11th and we and our guests were thrilled with the beauty of her playing. We had so many compliments on her performance. Working with Brooke was easy and she quickly confirmed our song selection and also reached out to us two weeks before our event to check in and re-confirm everything. We felt lucky and honored to have such a skilled musician add to the atmosphere of our wedding day." Jean - June 2022 - Troy
"Brooke Vincent and Will Hayes were absolutely wonderful on our wedding day. They definitely added to the elegance of the evening. We requested several different pieces of music that Brooke and Will played with great ease. Friendly talented musicians, and very easy to work with. Brooke responded promptly to all my emails, of which I sent many! All of our guests made a point to let us now how impressed they were with the beautiful music. My daughter is engaged and planning her wedding. When a date is selected, I will be reaching out to Brooke and Will to save the date. Highly recommend without hesitation" Donna - December 2021 - Saratoga

"Brooke was the perfect addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour, setting the scene to create a beautiful introduction to our night. Her and her partner played beautifully and I was so glad we chose them! She was easy to work with and I would absolutely hire her again!" Gloria - August 2021 - Lake George
"Amazing! We hired Will and Brooke for a duo for our September wedding. They were able to play some classic pieces as well as some modern ones with the violin and cello. They played for both our ceremony and reception straight - it was so perfect. I had some special songs from my childhood and they even played Disney! It was so amazing and the guests complimented. I would definitely hire them again. 10/10!" - Christina Manning - September 2021
FABULOUS! Will played in a string duo (violin and cello) for our10/10/20 wedding with the Saratoga Violin (Brooke). Leading up to the day, the duo learned several new songs we requested for our big day. Their music was beautiful, ranging from Classical to Pop, and the perfect ambience for our backyard wedding. They played such a fun rendition of Pharrell Williams' "Happy" which had our whole family up and dancing and was such a memorable moment. We would highly recommend Brooke and Will." Michelle Grossman - Albany
"Will and his partner, Brooke Vincent, did a wonderful job performing at my daughter's wedding. The music was very well played and everyone enjoyed the experience." Carl Cusano -September 2020
"Brooke is a fantastic violinist who I highly recommend for your special occasion live music needs. In working with her at various weddings, I have seen how people always love her performances. Do yourself a favor and call her today!!" Cellist Will Hayes - November 2019
"What an incredible performance! We booked Brooke and the string trio for our wedding at the Bethesda Episcopal church and we are so thrilled with this decision! Brooke was extremely accommodating throughout the whole process! We had a specific song in mind that was not part of Brooke’s portfolio and not only did the trio learn the song, send us a recording for approval, they played above and beyond our expectations! The trio learned the song based off of a YouTube clip we sent and it was spot on. We would’ve had the trio play at our cocktail hour if we hadn’t made arrangements prior to finding Brooke! We highly highly recommend booking Brooke for any special event! It was a delight and honor to work with her!" Cellist Will Hayes - November 2019
"Brooke just played violin at my wedding Nov 2018. I could not recommend her enough. It was everything I wanted and more; absolutely perfect. I had hired her as a surprise for my wedding (noone attending or in the wedding knew I was having a string instrument perform. Not even my husband!) My husband loves the sound of violin. He mentioned to me after the ceremony how blown away he was. She did nothing short of amazing! She specialized three specific songs for me. I was up in the air about duets and how I wanted the songs to sound. She took the time to record them in different manors so that I could hear different ways and pick the way I wanted. She was very communicative with me through the whole process leading up to my wedding day. It was very stressless! If you need string for your wedding day, this is your girl!" Kayleigh Lawyer - November 2018 Schenectady
"Brooke and the Saratoga Violin were a pleasure to work with. They honestly made our vision a reality. Brooke did a great job guiding us through music selections, keeping us informed, and being flexible with anything we needed. She also went above and beyond preparing for our wedding day making sure timelines were organized and everyone was one the same page. The Saratoga Violin were true professionals and put on and excellent performance at both our ceremony and cocktail hour. Many of our wedding guests complimented how beautiful their music was and wanted to know more about them. They truly made our day and we were grateful to have them!" Brittany Kirk - October 2018 Saratoga Springs
Thanks so much again Brooke! You were fantastic! I 100% mean it when I say you made our day. The music made me feel exactly how I wanted to feel while walking down the aisle. Truly moved!
“We had such a great experience with Brooke and are so happy she agreed to perform at our ceremony! She was professional and responsive throughout the whole process. It was extremely helpful to have her expertise when choosing specific pieces for the quartet to play. We had numerous wedding guests comment on how beautiful the quartet sounded and how they fit perfectly with our overall wedding theme. Brooke is my former orchestra teacher, and having her involved in such an important day was so meaningful and appreciated. Thank you for everything!" Elizabeth Starczewski Schinski- May 2018 Saratoga Springs -
“Hi Brooke! You were so amazing we really appreciate you both coming and taking part in our wedding. We were really thrilled with our luck with the weather and finding you a couple of weeks before the big day (as well as you learning a new song!). We got so many compliments on the music, we will definitely share some photos with you as well would be more than happy to provide you both with glowing recommendations for any future clients.” Kim Tansey- September 2013 Schroon Lake
"Brooke arranged and led a string duet for my wedding at the Bachelor Mansion Inn. She is an amazingly talented violinist, and the composition she created seemed magically timed to my trip down the aisle. We were so fortunate to have her as part of our wedding. The music was the perfect complement to a perfect day! Highly recommend!!!" Amy Kokowski Lydon - September 2012 Saratoga Springs
