Ceremony music - strings

Hello! I'm trying to find a string ensemble for our ceremony next October in Hartford.  I would be ok with 2-3 musicians.  I found some but the prices are so high!  Our ceremony is only half an hour (tops!) and I find it hard to pay a duet group more money then what my fiance makes in an hour (he's an er dr.)  I looked up some ensembles from Yale and Hart but I couldn't find out how to contact them.  Thanks so much! :)

    gigsalad.com is where we found ours. They are not cheap though and most will only come out for a 2hour minimum.

    You might want to try gigmasters.com
    I was thinking about having a string quartet (or maybe 2 or 3 people)play at the ceremony and this website allows a whole bunch of vendors to send you their bids. I ended up going with my band because they only charged a little more to have one of their musicians play strings, but I got a lot of bids from that website.

    definitely listen to their audio samples! They are great!

    I know someone who went to school at Hartt and she mentioned about calling up their gigline.  I haven't tried that yet!  Hopefully this can help :)
