Exceptional musician and wonderful to work with!

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!

Beautiful music at front porch wedding!

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.

Incredible Experience with the Cape Cod String Quartet

I'm excited to express our immense satisfaction with the Cape Cod String Quartet, who played a pivotal role in our wedding ceremony. We had our ceremony in a church, and their performance was amazing. The string trio we worked with created an unforgettable ambiance on our special day.

Working with the Cape Cod String Quartet was a pleasure. Dan Flonta's responsiveness and attention to detail during the planning stages reassured us that we were in capable hands. He helped make recommendations for music, and made sure that our song choices would flow. The trio was on time the day of the wedding, they looked professional, and you could tell they were very organized and experts in their craft.

Cape Cod String Quartet's performance was not only amazing but also an essential part of what made our wedding day so magical. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional musical accompaniment for their own events.

The string quartet's performance at the wedding was enchanting and elegant. Their harmonious melodies added a touch of sophistication to the event, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The musicians' skillful rendition of both classical and contemporary pieces showcased their versatility. The quartet's music complemented the guest arrival and ceremony perfectly, leaving a lasting impression on both the couple and the guests. Dan was so wonderful to work with.

Exceptional Performer

Dan Flonta played the violin at my daughter's wedding. Without question, he is a talented musician. Additionally, he was helpful in selecting the appropriate pieces and was eager to address our questions and concerns. Weddings are stress inducing!!! When Dan arrived an hour before the scheduled performance, I knew he understood the importance of the day and the need for stability and certainty in starting on time. I recommend Dan highly.

A Showstopper!

Dan played the violin for our wedding. He was absolutely wonderful to work with. He is a fabulous musician. He played several pieces, accompanied by piano, during our wedding service. His playing was heartfelt and stunningly beautiful. There was one piece that he played mid-way through our ceremony that was so lovely, I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. His playing truly elevated our event.

I was able to track down Dan after the sudden death of my mother. Within days he was in touch with the church and didn't just add to the ceremony...he made it. it's always hard to put into words the power of music but Dan's skills were just beautiful and was the highlight of the ceremony in my opinion. I would highly recommend his talents for any even. Ned Crowley

Wedding Review

Dan Flonta (Cape Cod String Quartet) played at my 9/17/22 wedding at St. Thomas Chapel in Falmouth, MA. I have nothing but amazing things to say! Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the music was. We had the violin and cello during the ceremony. Dan was amazing to work with. He was attentive, answered all of my questions promptly and is a truly talented musician. If you are thinking of having any type of string instrument for a wedding or any other event, I HIGHLY recommend hiring Dan! The ceremony was beautiful and I cannot thank him enough for contributing to making our wedding day so special!

Dan was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We enjoyed his customer service, and his beautiful violin music. He was easy to work with from beginning to end, and it was sad to see the end arrive, as his music was so beautiful! We highly recommend him as a musician for weddings (like ours) or special events. We enjoyed being able to choose from a selection of both classical and pop music.

Outstanding Chamber Music for Ceremony

Dan and his colleagues were absolutely wonderful! They played for the wedding ceremony, and are obviously extremely experienced (with timing, transitions, etc.). They were very flexible regarding details such as start and end time and location of the trio. Dan is also very helpful in discussing possible musical selections. We have an interest in classical music and are very sensitive to the quality of musicians, and Dan and the other musicians gave a concert quality performance, tapered exactly for the ceremony. We recommend most enthusiastically; they made the day even more special!

Dan was truly amazing. About one week before the wedding, we had a string quartet cancel on us last minute. Thankfully, Dan was available. He was extremely professional as he was on time and played so well. I had him play one of my favorite classical songs down the aisle and his music changed the atmosphere. Our wedding was at my in-laws beautiful garden backyard. His music totally fit the theme. I’d recommend him any day. Thanks Dan!

Wonderful

Dan was absolutely wonderful to work with! For starters, he had an extensive repertoire with a great variety of choices (seriously...our processional song was "Ave Maria" and our recessional was "Don't Stop Believing"). He is also extremely flexible, he was totally open to playing on the beach (which in my experience is something that a lot of musicians will not do). We were also hoping to have one of our good friends sing a couple of songs at our wedding and he was more than happy to work with her to craft a beautiful harmony. Most importantly, Dan's playing was incredible and significantly contributed to us having the wedding ceremony of our dreams.

Magical Proposal

When I started to plan my surprise engagement, I knew I wanted to do something that was unique and special and knew I needed to incorporate “our song.” After some research, I decided that having a Violinist was the piece that I was missing. After working with a photographer for a few weeks and securing a location, at the very last minute I decided to change the location where I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I reached out to Dan in hopes that he would respond and he got back to me immediately. Planning a surprise proposal is nerve-racking on its own, but adding on the decision to change the location one week before was even more nerve-racking. However, Dan was able to put me at ease. Days before the proposal, I had a phone call with Dan to review my plans, and then followed up with him via email and sent the itinerary I created for the day, as well as the layout of the proposal. I was also coordinating with a photographer and Dan was fully onboard with my plans and coordinating with her, too. My preparation for the proposal was very precise and all of us needed to be at specific places, at specific times. This proposal was more than just booking Dan and having him wait on the beach for us to arrive. There was a lot of planning and preparation involved, and Dan was fully accommodating along the way. On the day of the proposal, Dan texted me throughout the day with updates of his location, and he even arrived early. When we got out of the car and saw Dan playing, it was absolutely magical – just like a scene from a movie. When we got closer and could hear Dan playing, it set the tone for the proposal and my girlfriend still had no idea what was about to happen! I asked Dan to play Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, and as soon as he started playing – it was time to propose! Dan’s rendition of the song was beautiful. As I look back on all of the planning, nervousness, and actual proposal, I can truly say the experience would not have been the same had I not booked Dan. His professionalism, quick responses, and support of my plans put me at ease. Most importantly, his talented violin playing made my proposal a moment in time my fiancé and I will remember for the rest of our lives. For these reasons, I highly recommend Dan Flonta for any occasion.

Professional, polished and perfect

Dan played a secret engagement and then came back with his quartet for the wedding ceremony and was a hit both times. The latest, the ceremony, was outside and featured a mix of classical and modern arrangements and was highlighted by his arrangement of Led Zeppelin's Rain Song, which he had originally done as a solo and turned into a 4 piece arrangement. The guests commented on how amazing the music was and how well it fit the mood and the celebration. Dan is flexible, low maintenance and one of the few aspects of the wedding that I knew would go perfectly, and it did. Hire Dan with confidence and know that you're getting the best.

Beautiful music for my wedding ceremony!

Dan was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with! He showed up on time and offered exactly what he promised. I even requested a song that he didn't normally play and he was able to learn it and execute it perfectly! I would recommend him to any bride wanting traditional wedding music with a hint of personal touch for their wedding day. He always returned my e mails in a timely manner and his services were affordable and top notch! Thank you Dan!

Highly recommend

I hired Dan to play at a memorial service. From start to finish the experience was excellent - far above what I expected. He is a real professional - on time, clear about what he needs and flexible. He is a beautiful violinist and truly moved our guests through his nuanced and emotive playing. Also, throughout the service Dan really listened and was fully engaged. Although it was a sad event, Dan made it special.

Dan is a class act!

I hired Dan for a surprise proposal on the beach on a Saturday afternoon at the Cape. My request was complicated: I asked him to learn a new song, be as inconspicuous as possible while standing on the sand with a music stand and his beautiful instrument, and do it all without ever meeting in person. To say he is a professional is an understatement. He made the event perfect from timing the song amazingly well to keeping it together while my now fiance lost it once she heard what he was playing. I couldn't be happier with the result and couldn't recommend Dan more! Thanks again for helping us create a fantastic memory!

Wedding Day Violin Solo

Dan's performance for our daughter's wedding was extraordinary. The selection of music from which I chose the pieces was varied and just beautiful and appropriate. All of our guests, even those without a music background, commented on how the violin added something so special to the day. I had envisioned that this music would calm me as mother of the bride and I was not disappointed!! As I was upstairs with my daughter as she finished dressing, the music drifted up through the open windows and was perfect. She had taken years of violin lessons and so this meant a lot to her.
We are so fortunate to have such talent available through the Conservatory and to have Dan as one of the violinists. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with him in planning this and to have him here on our special day!

Perfection

I was looking for a violinist to play Bach pieces at a graveside funeral service on a Monday morning and was fortunate to find Dan's profile on the website. He was the perfect person for the job. He responded quickly to my request and was extremely accommodating to our needs.The service included four Bach solo pieces that he played with great expression and expertise. His playing added an extra degree of beauty to the occasion. Moreover, he is a very caring and respectful person. We were extremely grateful.

25th Wedding Anniversary

I hired Dan to play the violin as a surprise at my 25th anniversary. The setting was in my flower/vegetable garden. Dan arrived earlier than scheduled and started playing as soon as my wife and I returned home. Dan was very professional and personable. The music was beautiful. Dan played longer than expected and I want to thank him again for making our night so very special. He was amazing! I will recommend him to everyone in the future.

Exquisite music provided by Dan Flonta at memorial service

I hired Dan as a solo violinist for a memorial service for my father. I found his video on the internet and contacted him by telephone. He was both compassionate and professional. He sent me an extensive repertoire list from which I chose 3 classical pieces which I knew my father would have enjoyed. Dan was punctual and courteous. His playing was exquisite and sensitive and created a poignant atmosphere for all who attended the service. I highly recommend him.

Exceptional performance that made the occasion!

I hired Dan as a solo violinist for a surprise engagement proposal. He provided a very extensive repertoire to choose from, but he was also able to perform additional music that I requested. I'm not a musician myself, but I felt that the quality and beauty of the performance was AMAZING. I didn't get into too much detail on any exact musical arrangements, and he just made it work wonderfully. Furthermore, throughout the relatively short-notice planning process, he was prompt with communication responses and very accommodating, professional, and easy to coordinate with. This was especially tricky since I could not meet him before he started playing. I was naturally a little bit nervous, but I could not have asked for any better execution from Dan. My now-fiance was equally thrilled! We felt privileged to have a professional of his caliber help celebrate the occasion.
