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
