Cape Cod String Quartet

We can not say enough about how effortlessly and exceptionally talented Dan is--our guests were wowed, as were we! While there are hundreds of talented musicians for hire, I have to say what made Dan so incredible (and what should be kept in mind) was how wonderful he was to work with. I was very specific about what music I wanted for the ceremony, when I wanted music played, and when I wanted silent pauses. Of all the planning, I was most anxious about the ceremony and making sure everyone walked down the aisle to the right music at the right time and that there wouldn't be any mix ups. Dan showed up perfectly prepared and the ceremony went flawlessly! Also, while we interviewed musicians, we had one special request--we really wanted to have our first dance on a cliff overlooking the ocean. When we asked Dan if he would be willing to play a first dance song for us on a cliff, he was more than willing and so happy to accommodate.

Dan is an exceptional musician and I would highly recommend him to anyone planning an event! Easy to work with and really made our day memorable!

About 5 days before our wedding (a very simple ceremony on her grandparents' front porch), my fiancee had the inspiration to see if we could find a violinist for the ceremony. I didn't have much hope so last-minute, but she had her heart set on it. I found Dan's listing on Gigsalad and wrote an email asking if he might be available. He responded promptly and we were lucky enough that he was able to participate. He sent us an extensive list of his repertoire and we settled on three traditional Irish / Scottish folk tunes. Dan arrived exactly on the agreed-upon time and played beautifully and on cue during the ceremony. Throughout the process he was courteous and professional, and at the ceremony he was very patient with our slightly haphazard planning. His beautiful playing made the ceremony truly special.

“Most beautiful wedding service ever.” “The music in the church was exceptional!”
These are just a couple of the sentiments we heard from guests at our daughter’s wedding at Holy Redeemer in Chatham in late August 2026 — and we couldn’t agree more!
Thank you, Cape Cod String Quartet, for your beautiful playing at the church - during the wedding nuptial Mass. Your musicians are truly exceptional.

We hired Cape Cod String Quartet to perform at our pre-ceremony and ceremony at our May 2026 wedding in Boston. From the start, Dan was a delight. He worked with us to accommodate our budget, had great communication, and was warm and friendly. He helped with song selection and even accommodated a special request for us! We had a pianist and violinist and are still hearing how special they were from our guests. My only regret was that I didn’t get to speak to them in person on the wedding day! I was in hair and make up during their arrival / warm up, and then it was Go Time - so I could only give a little wave. I would have loved to catch up for a chat before they left for the evening. We would recommend Cape Cod String Quartet a hundred times over!!

I came across Dan Flonta online as I searched for a trumpeter to perform at my father's funeral. Dan was fantastic throughout the whole process and kept in constant contact regarding the selection of classical pieces for the event as well as any updates. The online booking process was simple. I was very impressed with the performance.
