"They were absolutely fantastic and accommodated all our special requests without any problem. My wife had always wanted the Theme from Jurassic Park to part of her wedding ceremony and they did a fantastic job playing it for the recessional music. The week of the wedding we asked if they could play Call Me Maybe during the cocktail hour as an inside joke and they did even though it was a last minute request and it wasn't on their list. I can't recommend them highly enough!"

Honestly I waited much longer than I should have to work with Neil on the musical selections, but they played everything we asked for with only a weeks' notice. And played with much spirit and enthusiasm. Part of the ceremony was in the rain. . . they were under cover but it wasn't an ideal or comfortable place for them. They were real troopers and didn't complain at all. We would hire them again in a heartbeat."

I booked them almost a year in advance after listening to their clips online and talking to Neil- he could not have been more responsive throughout my planning process. Everytime I emailed him questions or ideas he responded within hours. The day of they showed up and were totally self sufficient, which was great since I was busy getting ready. The music was great, (and as a former music major I'm picky!) they were totally professional, and their repertoire was extensive. They did traditional stuff for the ceremony that I picked, and for cocktail hour they did more modern stuff which everyone loved!"

Never have I ever seen people sing along with a string quartet. Hands down, we recommend them to any venue and hope to have a reason to hire them again.

"They played beautifully, first of all, which is the most important thing. But what's just as important, they were flexible and easy to deal with about times and terms. They allowed me to attend a rehearsal to hear them early on, and also allowed me terrific range in selecting the program. They arrived early and played late, picking up the program cues exactly as planned. My fellow students and faculty at the War College were very impressed; I've heard spontaneous compliments about the Quartet for days. "They're a class act;" "best I've heard;" "the best thing about your ceremony was the beautiful music." And let's face it, nothing adds more class to a ceremony than the sounds of a live string quartet playing beautiful music; it puts the whole event into a higher bracket of taste and sensibility. I certainly plan to hire them again, although their current very affordable fee will doubtless go up as their fame grows in coming years. "

It was actually raining at my ceremony (which was outside under a tent) and they were extremely accommodating and played wonderfully. I play the violin myself and know that weather like that can make instruments go out of tune quickly, but it didn't seem to affect them at all.
I also had a unique request for my first dance and they instantly said it wouldn't be a problem and ended up playing it perfectly!
