The Trio — FAQ

What's the difference between the String Trio and the Pop Trio?

Which trio is right for my wedding?

How far in advance should we book?

The String Trio is violin, viola, and cello — the traditional chamber sound, pure and timeless. The Pop Trio swaps the viola for a cajón, adding a percussion backbone that drives rhythm and energy. Same three-piece versatility, two distinct vibes: the String Trio leans elegant and classical, the Pop Trio leans upbeat and dance-ready.

It depends on the moment. Many couples book the String Trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour, where its warmth and elegance shine, and choose the Pop Trio when they want more energy and rhythm for cocktails or a lively reception. Tell us your vision and we'll recommend the best fit — or you can mix both across your day.

We typically book three to nine months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May through October) and the December holidays. We do our best to accommodate shorter timelines, so reach out and we'll check availability for your exact date right away.

Can you learn a custom song or music from our culture?

Do you perform indoors and outdoors?

Absolutely — it's one of our specialties. Our multicultural repertoire spans Persian, Indian, Jewish, Greek, Korean, Brazilian, and many more traditions, and we regularly prepare custom arrangements of first-dance songs, processionals, and pieces with special meaning. We recommend requesting custom or cultural songs at least six weeks ahead.

Both. The trio performs beautifully in ballrooms, houses of worship, galleries, and gardens. For outdoor events we ask for shade and a level surface to protect the instruments, and we can add subtle amplification for larger open-air settings.

How much space and setup does the trio need?

The trio needs roughly an 8 × 8 ft area, three armless chairs, and access to power if amplification is used. We arrive early to set up and sound-check so everything is ready well before your guests arrive.

Can we book a different ensemble size?

Do you travel nationwide?

How much does a trio cost?

Yes. Beyond the trio, United Strings offers a solo cellist, a duo, a string quartet, and our high-energy Pop Quartet and Pop Quintet. If your venue is large or you want a fuller sound, we'll recommend the right ensemble for your space and budget.

Yes. United Strings performs across the country, with musicians available in many major markets. Share your city and date and we'll confirm coverage and any travel details in your custom quote.
