    Hanalei was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Her communication was always super fast and responsive, which was honestly the best thing when we were planning our big day. Hanalei set up for our ceremony in the perfect spot and never missed a beat - she truly made our wedding sound so beautiful. We never had to worry about her not showing up or getting everything done perfectly. Hanalei made me feel like I could just trust her and let go, and it turned out so great! I would give Hanalei Ritter Strings a 10/10 recommendation for any couple looking for an amazing string musician for their wedding.

    We communicated with Hanalei Ritter Strings primarily via phone and text. Her work was truly incredible and elegant. Her performance elevated the ceremony in a way that exceeded our expectations. Ms. Ritter performed at a level I would expect from a seasoned 30-year veteran, showcasing her immense talent and dedication to her craft. She was fully committed to making the experience exactly how we wanted it, and was extremely patient and mature throughout the planning process. I cannot say enough good things about Hanalei Ritter Strings - I would hands down use her for any event in the future.

    Hanalei Ritter was a pleasure to work with for my son's engagement celebration. She showed up to my venue to meet me and talk about what I needed, and her communication style was friendly and professional. Hana literally played the violin for my son's engagement ceremony at the beach and showed up on time dressed in the same color as the flowers. Hanalei is so classy and plays the violin beautifully - she will exceed your expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and wonderful musician to be part of their special day.
