Feedback

  • They did a fantastic job for my wedding people just loved them and couldn't believe how good they were. They also compared to other quartets i looked at are very well priced for the amount of talent. They also are not afraid of new songs and requests which was great. -- Jessica C, Castle Rock, CO, 6/14/2009
  • They were spectacular and helped to make our wedding day just that much more special. Being musicians ourselves we were extremely pleased and they definitely met our expectations. They were very professional and handled everything very well. I would recommend this orchestra/trio 100 times over. They were AMAZING! - Stevie -- Stevie M, Westcliffe, CO, 6/27/2009
  • The Leavitts were fabulous. Very talented, kind folk who worked with us on a number of fronts (including teleconfrencing at odd hours to meet our odd schedules) to make sure we got exactly what we wanted for our wedding...which turned out beautifully, no small part of which is due to the talents of the Leavitt family and their Victorian String Quartet. -- Jennifer G, Thornton, CO, 6/21/2009
  • They did a beautiful job!! We were very pleased with them! They were very easy to get ahold of and would responded imediatly when I left messages. They were always friendly and helpful, and I could tell that they wanted to make my wedding wonderful. I really appreciate them and all of the time they put into the wedding!! Thank You!! I recomend them to anyone who wants the best!! -- Elizabeth W, Sedalia, CO, 10/6/2007
  • Absolutely fabulous...hired them to perform for our wedding as a string quartet for the ceremony & cocktail hour, jazz trio for dinner and the Good Times Band for the reception and we as well as our guests couldn't say enough good things about them....they really added a nice tough of class to our wedding that could never have been accomplished with a DJ...by the end of the night the guests were cheering for an encore...I think that says it all! We can't thank Leavit Music Service enough for all that they did to help us prepare for this big moment and when it comes to execution, they are rated #1. Thank you!!! -- Kristine P, Denver, CO, 9/3/2007
