SoundNJoy was founded in 2021 after 20+ years of professional performance. Our conservatory-trained musicians (many with master’s/doctorate degrees) provide live wedding music across New Jersey—wedding violinist NJ, string duo/trio, and string quartet NJ—for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions in Central & Northern NJ, NYC & PA.

SoundNJoy is based in New Jersey and performs across Central & Northern NJ, New York City, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. We are also available for destination weddings and special events outside NJ.

Pricing depends on the number of musicians (solo violin, string duo, trio, or quartet) and the length of your event. Contact SoundNJoy for a personalized quote for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception.

A $25 base travel fee applies to venues more than 15 miles from the George Washington Bridge (NJ side), plus $1 per mile per musician. Tolls are billed separately.

We recommend booking 9–12 months in advance, especially for peak-season Saturdays from May through October.

A signed agreement and non-refundable deposit are required to secure your booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full one month before the event date. All payment terms and payment methods will be provided in your booking agreement.

All deposits are non-refundable. If a cancellation occurs within 30 days of the event, the full balance may still be required as outlined in our contract. We strongly recommend reviewing the booking agreement for complete cancellation terms.
