What people are saying.

  • "I always dreamed of having string instruments play as I walked down the aisle and Live Oak Trio made that dream come true! I really think the addition of the guitar along with the strings adds a fullness to the music that traditional string groups cannot always create. Alan was also so great and easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding. They have such a large repertoire and can play anything you want to make your wedding unique. I am so happy with my choice to hire Live Oak Music"

  • "Worth every penny and more!!! We can’t say enough wonderful things about Alan and his band! We booked them before we had all of our details planned out for the big day, but they were very understanding and accommodating. Alan was the easiest vendor we worked with throughout our whole planning process (which says a lot bc they were all great). We had one or two songs in particular we wanted for the processional, but weren’t sure what other songs we’d like and honestly didn’t have the time to come up with options on our own. We told Alan the vibe we were after and he picked out music accordingly — and he absolutely nailed it all. From the ceremony musicians to the reception band and mc’ing, this group did an incredible job. So many guests came up to us throughout the night to tell us how great all of the music had been. Like we said, can’t say enough great things about this group. Thank you again for making our day even more special."

  • “Highly Recommended! This is our second wedding with Live Oak Trio and once again they did not disappoint us! At our first daughter’s wedding we requested they perform a Led Zeppelin song, that I believe was not on their song list, but it should be now as it was just beautiful. We did not hesitate to have the Trio perform at our second wedding. The Trio performed at both ceremonies and the cocktail hours and were so helpful with our music selections. We highly recommend you select The Live Oak Trio for your weddings, parties, any events you want beautiful music with a great group of musicians!”

  • “Absolutely MADE our wedding day! We really, really loved working with Live Oak – They were a breeze to communicate with leading up to the wedding, and knew all the musicians my husband referenced as his favorite. They were super flexible and accommodating and laid back, which was just all so calming! We felt like we could count on them all the way through. We had a complicated set up for the music for our wedding – Live Oak played for a cocktail hour before dinner, and then a dessert cocktail hour after the dancing. They stuck around with no complaints, and both sets were perfect. They really made the vibe of the day just everything we imagined and dreamt of and more. Everyone commented on how our wedding was the most beautiful one they’d been to. When we looked on IG after, so many of the videos were of Live Oak playing in the background. I just know they made the day feel so special and magical. Set the vibe perfectly! ”

  • “Perfect soundtrack to our Laguna Gloria wedding! Live Oak Trio was a dream to work with and a dream to listen to on our wedding day. Their combination of an extensive repertoire and their eagerness to learn our special (and pretty obscure!) requests was incredible and just what we needed. Alan was super responsive and on top of coordination – we didn’t have to worry about readiness or timing or anything about the performance before/during/after.”

  • “Live Oak Trio is talented, professional, always on time and they look sharp. As a wedding planner, I’ve enjoyed working with this group for years. They can do anything from the classic wedding music that everyone loves to a strings version of your favorite Led Zeppelin song. Live Oak Trio is a perfect match for any Austin bride or groom who value music as a part of her wedding or cocktail reception. I would trust Live Oak Trio for my own wedding and always encourage my clients to work with this amazing set of musicians”

  • “Working with Alan and the Live Oak Trio was a delight from the very beginning. Not only was communication simple and efficient but Alan is also very kind and truly wanted to assist in any way that he could. We were going for a lounge-y, cocktail vibe at our smaller, 35 person wedding and the Live Oak Trio could not have been a better addition to the evening. We got comments all night from our friends and family about how lovely it was to have a live jazz band and how cozy it made the event feel. If you’re considering booking them, absolutely go for it. You won’t regret it!”

  • "Professional, talented, easy to work with Austin musicians Alan and the musicians at Live Oak Trio are a joy to work with. Not only are they talented individuals with a broad repertoire to meet every style and preference, they are communicative and so friendly. We decided on the strings trio for our ceremony and jazz quartet for cocktail hour. My (now) husband requested a song for the processional that wasn't on their list, and they played it beautifully. Recorded music just wouldn't have created the sophisticated, lively atmosphere that we wanted for our intimate wedding at Justine's Secret House. Our guests absolutely loved it, and I will certainly keep Live Oak Trio in mind for future events. If you're on the fence, just go for it. You won't regret it!"

  • "100% would recommend & hire again! From the very first email to the last, Alan with Live Oak Trio was very professional, responsive and helpful. Their song list was perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The duo (guitar & violin) played beautifully & flawlessly. They were exactly what I was looking for. They showed up early, with plenty of time to set up and figure out logistics. Once we met & spoke for all of 60 seconds, they needed nothing else from me. I would not hesitate to hire Live Oak Trio again."

  • "Fantastic string trio - with guitar! We wanted live music at the ceremony and cocktail hour, heavy on the Beatles, so really looking for a string trio with a guitar. Live Oak Trio exceeded our expectations - they sounded fantastic, had great communication and Alan is an amazing guitarist! Would highly recommend."

  • "Great addition to our wedding mass! Hiring Live Oak Trio was a breeze and a great decision!!! The communication with Alan was easy and fast, and overall the service was excellent. My wedding ceremony was at a Catholic church so there were several transitions and parts of the mass that the trio needed to play. Not only that, but Live Oak Trio had to coordinate all the songs and transitions with the Church cantor and pianist! Alan made sure to hear all my concerns and address those on different calls. Additionally, he made sure to have a call with the wedding cantor and pianist prior to the event, and even rehearse it to make sure everything went well. At the end of the day, our ceremony was beautiful and everything worked out flawlessly!! I would highly recommend Live Oak Trio for brides that would like to have an extra "touch" to their ceremony!"
