    Not sure of price but Style Matters-- they have a trio.  That's who I'm using.  Best of luck!

    The Chris Sarlas Orchestra provides ceremony musicians.  While I did not use them for my ceremony music (the church were I was married offered their own musicians) Chris Sarlas was great for my reception.  I think they could be worth checking out for ceremony music.

    I used String Theory through Style Matters.  They were awesome! I believe they were $300 or $350

    Consider using student musicians from Northwestern University.  Their professors are in the CSO and many are extremely talented (the music school is highly competitive to get in).  This may fit into your budget - check them out at:http://www.music.northwestern.edu/hirenumusician/

    Check out gigmasters.com.  Essentially several companies bid based on your request.  It might be a good place to start.

    I love Innocenti Strings. They will arrange your special requests; anything from Neko Case to Frank Sinatra!
