About
“Throwbacks from Beethoven to Beyoncé” is the motto of VINTAGE STRING, where we celebrate the best of all musical genres. Our team of classically trained musicians has a passion for a variety of musical styles, and we offer a range of ensembles to suit every vision and budget.

The founders and managers of VINTAGE STRING are Vanessa Buttolph and Diane Hastings, two skilled string players who have performed with big names like Josh Groban, Michael Bublé, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. With original arrangements and medleys of iconic songs from artists like Beyoncé, TLC, and Outkast, we specialize in genres that are not typically associated with strings. But we also honor our classical roots with performances of celebrated classical music from the 17th-21st centuries.

At bars and breweries, we perform live shows as a pop trio of violin, viola, and drums, entertaining with our dynamic original medleys. Check out our website to find out when we will be near you. Our live pop shows complement cocktail hours, wedding dinners and receptions, engagement parties, and other lively events.

For weddings or special occasions, we collaborate closely with you to understand your desires and suggest the best musical selections and ensemble. We can perform as a string solo, duo, trio, or quartet, and we also offer the option to add vocals, guitars, amplification, and custom arrangements.

At VINTAGE STRING, we make sure that each event is personalized for each customer and their specific vision. Our repertoire list is continuously growing, covering various styles such as Classical, Pop, Soul, Hip-Hop, R&B, Traditional, Rock, Country, Movie Soundtracks, and more.

Collaborating with Diane and Vanessa was an absolute delight and a breeze! Their timely email responses, reassuring demeanor and promise to make our wedding special put us at ease. And they certainly lived up to their promise! They set the perfect tone with melodies during the prelude, cocktail hour and played a charming song during the ceremony. Their promptness and expertise added a touch of magic to our special day. Our guests couldn't stop raving about their beautiful performance and presence during the ceremony. Their versatile repertoire covering pop, 80's and classical music was impressive. We are over the moon with their exceptional service and give them 10 stars out of 5! Don't hesitate to contact them for any questions!

The outcome could not have been more perfect. Vintage Strings created a stunning rendition of the song I had requested for our wedding. The performance was held outdoors, resulting in an exceptional sound quality. I was delighted to have the option to select my own music, and their extensive repertoire made the process effortless. The coordination and communication with Vintage Strings was seamless, showcasing their professionalism. Reflecting back, I regret not having them play for the dancing segment and taking control of the entire wedding's musical aspect. Their exceptional performance provided an unforgettable atmosphere that added a touch of uniqueness to my wedding day.

Vintage String Music was brought on board to assist in finding the perfect violinist for my daughter's future husband's proposal. Their level of enthusiasm for the occasion was exceptional right from the start. The hired violinist was not just skilled, but also adaptive, inventive and had a hand in creating an unforgettable experience. I would not hesitate to engage their services again!

Vintage String demonstrated excellent responsiveness and comprehension of my request, displaying a willingness to accommodate my needs to the fullest extent. They successfully transposed two Pakistani pop songs into beautifully performed violin pieces that left my bride in tears as she walked down the aisle. Their extensive portfolio of traditional and contemporary pieces is highly recommended to anyone seeking to elevate the musical experience of their special event.
