Chamber Light Players did an excellent job for our Grand Opening. They sounded great and were extremely professional. I highly recommend them!
We are so glad that the Chamber Light Players by Symbiotic Collusion string quartet provided the music for our wedding ceremony. The musicians were professional and easy to work with. For our ceremony, the quartet played a Bjork song that set a beautiful mood, and the recessional was set to Coldplay's Viva la Vida. During the prelude, they played a mix of popular songs, including a Bruno Mars selection. The musicians arrived early and were well prepared. Our guests all commented on how wonderful the music was. We highly recommend the Chamber Light Players by Symbiotic Collusion for any event.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“They performed for my wedding in July and it was truly amazing. They were a pleasure to listen to and so easy to work with on a very busy day. They accommodated our every request in music selection and were very professional in all of our interactions.”
-Wendy Y., bride
“They were amazing - every single aspect of them. When I met with them to discuss the music for the ceremony, they were so patient, and willing to offer suggestions to help make the day extra special. I really appreciate also the fact that they helped me find music that I was looking for, and worked hard to make it perfect. I absolutely loved the custom arrangement of Simple Gifts that I walked in to--everyone said that they loved the music so much, so thank you!”
-Amber P., bride
“I just want to say THANK YOU for making my sister's wedding so special. I know she was very surprised to have you there and the look on her face was priceless. You guys were AMAZING and we thank you again for being so wonderful.
When you guys played the Coldplay song, it was perfect. I think my sister liked it so much, she asked you to play it a second time!”
-LeeAnn T., bridesmaid
“I wish I could have been a guest at the wedding to hear everything. I was the bride, and was stuck outside until I entered. It sounded so beautiful. I was very excited to be able to walk down the aisle to Etta James’ ‘At Last’-- something unconventional and elegant.”
-Amanda I., bride
“Consummate professionals and we enjoyed working with them in planning and coordinating a special event and classical performance in the gallery. They’re very attentive to detail and to making sure that the interests and needs of the client are met.”
