Cloud 9 String Quartet is amazing!!!

I hired this quartet to play at my daughter's wedding for 3 hours. There were so amazing words can not describe their talent. In addition, they continued to play for the happy hour. Without much direction they knew what they needed to do to let me entertain other folks at the wedding. (I was the mother of the bride). They dress professionally for the wedding ceremony, were extremely polite and willing to make the day special. Would I hire them again for any event? You betcha! I will provide photo's soon once the photographers have processed the pictures.

Simply the Best Choice

I cannot recommend Cloud 9 enough! If you are on the fence of who to choose for your special event, look no further! Cloud 9 plays beautifully and has such an amazing array of songs they play- from classical to top hits! My guests could not stop complimenting the music choose. I think our souls tire of the noisy DJ and we long for something that makes us calm and smile and Cloud 9 wi give your guests just that.
Thank you for playing at our event Cloud 9. I'm super grateful!

Review by Charlene B.

George and I are very satisfied with the Victorian Strings Quartet. Their experience, patience, and customer service are very apparent from the first phone call. We soon forget that our relationship with vendors often begin way before we actually meet them!

Their office manager/events coordinator, Shelley, is an amazing and knowledgeable coordinator. I called her approximately 5-6 weeks before our wedding knowing we would be behind the ball and quite nervous of the outcome given little preparation time. Shelley handled our requests with ease, swiftness, and professionalism, filling in the multitude of behind-the-scenes blanks a bride is unaware of! She coordinated the quartet and personally spoke with the catering director at the Hotel Monaco to ensure all parties were prepared for the performance. Shelley is also readily available and returns emails/call promptly.

As for the quartet, we couldn't be happier. Their repertoire is huge, expanding across multiple genres. For cocktail hour I requested they cover popular/contemporary tunes (Smells Like Teen Spirit, Viva La Vida Loca, etc.) and during dinner, they performed classical/broadway tunes. The guests equally were impressed and pleasantly surprised at the unique performance at a wedding reception.

We would definitely hire/recommend them for future events. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!
