No wedding is complete without Monte Vista Strings and Jazz! Not only are they extremely talented, they
are also calm, professional, responsive, and an all around pleasure to work with. I have had the unique
opportunity of working with MVSJ both as a catering manager and as a bride-to-be and simply
cannot say enough wonderful things about what a talented and amazing group of musicians they are!

In The News:

I am a Celebrity Artist who has worked with some of the finest musicians and orchestras around the world. I needed an addition to my professional ensemble for a major concert event in San Antonio and Monte Vista was a recommendation from friends of mine at the San Antonio Symphony. Andrew Small and his group turned my ensemble into the real orchestra that I was was hoping for. The professionalism and skill of this group far outmeasures what you would ever find in a freelance ensemble as they are not a just another for hire group. They are seat players with the symphony itself. I give this group my highest recommendation.
