Columbia Strings

Columbia Strings is run by Jarrod Haning, who books and performs in ensembles ranging from a single violinist up to a full string quartet for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours. The group also offers guitar and harp as alternatives to strings, letting couples match instrumentation to a garden ceremony, a church service, or an indoor cocktail hour.

Repertoire spans classical processionals through jazz and pop arrangements, with cocktail-hour sets built around jazz and tango standards. Reviewers describe a repertoire shaped around a couple's personalities rather than a fixed song list, with one noting a custom violin serenade arranged for a private moment during the reception.

Based in Columbia, the ensemble plays weddings throughout Columbia, Irmo, and Lexington, with additional bookings noted in Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston, and Myrtle Beach. No pricing is published on the website; booking runs through a contact form or by phone and text.
