Thanks so much for arranging a great string quartet for our son’s wedding, last night.  I was very busy, but the group seemed well organized and certainly well prepared.  They communicated directly with the wedding venue and knew when to switch music for each stage of the ceremony. It was so lovely and appeared to move along seamlessly. I loved having them for two full hours, so we got to enjoy them for dinner music, as well. So happy with their work and our smart choice!

Everything was perfect! The musicians during the ceremony were great and I was so surprised when the guitarist appeared at the beginning of the reception when Marty serenaded me with “I want to grow old with you.” That was the only time I cried all day!
Thank you again for helping to make our special day an unforgettable, first-class event.
