Responsive, Professional, & Highly Skilled!

We had the Black and White String quartet perform at our wedding this past weekend and they were incredible. They provided the perfect ambience for our group. I cannot recommend them enough, they have a great selection of music to pick from.

Everything I’ve dreamt about!

Tamra was so amazing! She played me down the aisle and made my wedding dreams come true! She was the cherry on top of such a beautiful event and day! Professional, communicative, intelligent, and an excellent cellist. I asked her to play a non-traditional song for my procession, which I worried was going to be a challenge or just plain annoying for her and her cohort, but she was so happy with the idea she delivered exactly what I wanted (and more!) Thank you for making our day less like the rainy afternoon it was and more like a spring wedding dream.

They did great

Had my wedding about 9 days ago and Tamra performed for our ceremony. She did a magnificent job.
My wife and I requested (2) uncommon songs, and Tamra did a great job by practicing and playing them beautifully.
5 Stars without a doubt

Awesome Cello Duet!

I hired BWSQ's cello duet ('CHelō) for my wedding ceremony and everyone I talked to loved it! Unfortunately, because I was the bride I didn't get to hear much as I walked from a distance. Everything sounded beautiful though. Our ceremony was a little out of the norm so I think some cues were missed (not sure if they weren't given or what happened), but that was the only thing that didn't go quite right. Booking was easy and communication was quick. I highly recommend hiring!

Very professional! Detailed set list

Black & White was wonderful to work with! We hired them recently for our University's commencement at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City and we couldn't have been more impressed. Tamra was very quick to respond in communication, the group provided a detailed set list of songs for us to choose from for them to play, and when we had a special request, they learned to play it for us. I would definitely recommend them for any event that you have!

I hired B&W for my wedding ceremony. They arrived on time, looked professional, and played beautifully. I think nothing makes a bigger statement at a wedding than live music. I am so happy that I hired them!

Tamra is THE BEST!

I've been a wedding planner for over 10 years now and I have to say that Tamra is the best of the best! Guests are always blown away by her skills and she is always the perfect music choice for any part of a wedding day! The ceremony, cocktail hour, first dances, you name it! I highly recommend hiring Tamra!

Elegant performer and consumate professional

Due to the business at hand, I couldn't be terribly firm with scheduling until the day before, and Tamra worked with me in a way that only true professionals are able to manage. She plays wonderfully and adds the touch of charm and elegance that will make any event pop and sparkle. In addition to being a great artist, and professional, she is also a warm and conversational as a person.
Tamra deserves every recommendation she gets.

Tamra played at my wedding ceremony yesterday. She did such a beautiful job. She was easy to communicate with, and even learned the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. I would absolutely recommend her.

A great Cellist

She played well and was punctual for setup. It was a great conclusion to date night at my home. The only disappointment was that the session was for 1 hr and she only played for 45 minutes. The suggested playlist was long enough for an hour but oh well. Hopefully oh the next booking it will be a full hour.

Response from Black & White String Quartet:

Richard,

I apologize for the short length. I did have other things I could have played, just not what was requested. I wasn't paying close attention to the clock and played everything you requested that was available. I am happy to refund the 15 minutes that I didn't play if you'd like. Please just let me know. Thank you again for asking me to play for you.

Great communication, satisfied with performance

Tamra had a previously booked gig earlier in the day that I requested, so there were some time issues we had to deal with. Tamra was communicative and kept me updated the whole time, which was greatly appreciated. Very responsive. Will book again given the chance.

Tamra just rocks. We played a duet together (violin and cello), she showed up early to practice with me prior to the event as I came in from out of town. She is a very skilled player, not to mention she is very professional and super fun personality! I would hire her for all of my events if I could.

Perfect

Tamra played the cello for my outdoor wedding ceremony as guests arrived, during the processional, and during the recessional. We exchanged an email and had a quick call to arrange the details. Other than that, I didn't have to do anything. She was where she needed to be at all times. She played beautifully. I was able to give her a list of requests and she either already knew them or learned them for me. I would highly recommend Tamra.
