Feedback
- I had the trio string play for my wedding and Jen Smith and her colleagues were very professional and talented. I have already recommended them to my other friends who are getting married. I would highly recommend Jen Smith Quartet for your event.

- We had the Jen Stedman Quartet perform at our wedding last summer. My husband and I are both performing classical musicians, and we were very glad to have a group that was so professional and accommodating. There was a tremendous wind storm the night before that knocked out all the electricity in the area including all traffic lights and power in the reception hall. They arrived early and played later than contracted since we didn't have power for the PA system to play recorded music. They truly saved our wedding day, and we are very grateful. -- Stephanie F, Elmhurst, IL, 6/19/2010
