About Us
Barton Strings
The BARTON STRINGS are undeniably the most sought after wedding musicians in Central Texas. With over 18 years of experience, and thousands of flawless performances, it's no wonder we are consistently booked year after year. Premier wedding coordinators, Austin's top venues, the finest photographers, and the most exquisite catering companies refer our services to their clients year after year. They trust us because we have earned it. It takes more than just good musicians to ensure the ceremony music is performed correctly. It takes musicians who understand non-verbal cues, who can react quickly and thoughtfully, and who make better music than a well mastered CD. When you hire the Barton Strings you will get exactly that...the most experienced musicians accompanying you flawlessly on your most special day.


The Barton Strings consist of a small pool of ten local musicians who work interchangeably each week. Eight of the ten have been in the ensemble since the inception. Each musician holds a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree in music performance from the finest Universities in the country. They are all tenured members of the Austin Symphony Orchestra, Austin Lyric Opera and maintain full time careers as musicians. We have performed back up with such great artists as Lyle Lovett, Darden Smith, Steve Wariner, Chet Atkins, Smokey Robinson, Willie Nelson, Natalie Cole, Moody Blues and Nancy Griffith, to name a few. We have also performed on numerous Disney recordings and we were the string ensemble chosen to perform on Stefan Kostka's Tonal Harmony recording which is the primary recording used in Universities across the country to teach fundamentals of music.

We pride ourselves in providing unparalleled service to those who employ us. We will assist you to choose music that will fit the atmosphere you wish to create and ensemble that will work within your budget. And we can confidently say we will perform your selections with absolute perfection.

So if you are looking for the best, remember the Barton Strings. Last year more than 150 couples chose us to perform at their weddings!
