Lucchi Strings, founded by husband and wife team Mary and
Marco Lucchi, is a group of degreed, professional musicians
who are very experienced in performing for weddings and
special events. We serve South Jersey, North Jersey, Philadelphia and its suburbs, and Delaware.
All of our musicians perform at a high standard of excellence and will make your event beautiful and
memorable. We offer the option of choosing to book a string quartet (2 violins, viola, and cello), a
string trio (2 violins and cello), a string duo (2 violins or violin and cello), or a violin or cello
soloist. For all events the musicians will provide 20 minutes of prelude music prior to the ceremony, music during
the ceremony and/or cocktail hour, and unlimited phone/personal consultations on music
selection and ceremony details.
