CLIENT FEEDBACK:  

The St.Charles String Quartet is an amazing group. Together they created beautiful music which enlivened our wedding and our cocktail hour. They are willing to help you out and play anything you want to hear. Their professionalism is unmatched. They are a blast to work with prior and during the event and stay in constant contact to ensure a smooth process. I will recommend this group to anyone who wants amazingly performed music. Great job Guys!! Green Wedding- July 2008

St. Charles String Quartet was such a blessing! I knew I chose the right quartet from the moment I spoke to Neil. They came very early to the wedding and played all the songs I requested and much more. They were great! My guests loved the music and only had praises for the quartet. I praise and thank God for leading me to the group.

The group was wonderful! Their music was magical and enhanced the wedding ceremony tremendoously. They learned a special request for the processional which brought our family members to tears - beautiful & sentimental. Thank you so much St. Charles Strings!

The quartet did a wonderful job. They really took the time before hand to make sure they knew all the details of our event. Our windy wedding day was made even more special because of their performance. I absolutely would recommend them to anyone.

The string quartet is fantastic. They really went above and beyond my expectations. Everything was extremely professional. I was very pleased with their ability to do such a great job accompanying the vocalists as they had only a few minutes of rehearsal time before the wedding. My daughter's ceremony was over a week ago, and people are still talking about the string quartet and how their presence added an element of class to the ceremony. We are extremely happy and will not hesitate to recommend the St. Charles String Quartet if and when the occasion presents itself. Vivianne L. Baskins

Neil and his group were so great to work with and made my wedding planning from afar very easy! I booked them based only on online samples and when I heard them on the wedding day, they were amazing. Many guests complimented their talent and repertoire (from the classical to the contemporary.) They played for the wedding, cocktail hour and dinner making each transition with ease and grace- the perfect complement to our perfect day! Teddy and Miranda Reynolds

St. Charles Quartet were a pleasure to work with and a very talented group. I look forward to working with them again in the future and would definately recommend them for any event and/or function. Sincerely, Ann Crandell Fredericksburg, Virginia

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.

St. Charles String Quartet was wonderful! They played at both my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and my guest loved them. They were very accommodating at join at joining in with other talents (trumpeters and choir) for my ceremony. Neil is wonderful to work with and is a tremendous help with picking the right music. I would highly recommend them!

there are not enough words to express how impressed everyone was with this quartet. If you are hiring a quartet, this is the one to hire. They played absolutely beautifully. They handled several special requests including an original piece. I truly am impressed beyond words. They are the most accomodating, most beautiful and professional musicians. If you are looking for perfection- this is it. I would recommend this quartet to anyone throwing a wedding, party, anything. I can be really demanding and have very very high standards. They are the best. hands down.

The trio was pleasant to work with and very accomodating. They learned a few songs that went along with the theme of my wedding and seemed eager to do so. I would recommend them to anyone.

Neil and the quartet provided outstanding support for our wedding. It was almost as if they were members of our friends and family. We received great comments from all who were present. I have to mention that they supported a very special song by accompanying my guitar and vocals - they allowed me to practice with them prior to the wedding. A great value and truly talented group. I would and have recommended them and would use their services again. Thanks so much!
