Jaxstrings
Providing professional musicians for private events and celebrations.
Jaxstrings, founded by violinist Jessie Polanis, provides talented and accomplished musicians and ensembles in a variety of configurations to suit celebrations, parties, or weddings.
Unlike the typical wedding or celebration band, Jaxstrings is composed of professional musicians who play pop, rock, classical, R&B, and jazz. The choices can be as simple as a solo violin or string duo to custom ensembles that include multiple string musicians playing with a pianist, guitarist, and flutist.
Members of Jaxstrings inlcude some of the more celebrated instrumentalists in North Florida having performed with Sleeping At Last, Foreigner, ELO, and various symphony orchestras.
The organization as a whole has provided music for weddings, receptions, and other celebrations for more than 15 years. Polanis works with every client, making sure that the ensemble and playlist suit their special day. Jaxstrings has performed for more than a thousand weddings in North Florida, including ones at St. Augustine venues such as the Fountain of Youth, the Treasury, and Grace United Methodist Church.
