September 12, 2018Beautiful music! Easy to work with and competitive rates
I give whole-heartedly this fine group of musicians a Five Star rating! I hired them for my daughter's outdoor, summer wedding last year, and they did not disappoint! All were skilled professionals and precision musicians. The music was beautifully played. They arrived early and filled all my daughter's special requests to a tee. They are easy to work with, and very accommodating to any music you want them to play. Their repertoire is broad, their rates are very competitive.
You could not make a better choice!

What to expect
Our goal is to provide the perfect soundtrack to your event. We recognize that every event is unique. We were closely with our clients throughout the booking and planning process to ensure that their unique musical interests are reflected in our program.
When someone first reaches out to us, we provide a quote for the event. Once the event is booked, we begin the fun part, planning! We have an every growing list of pieces to choose from and we are happy to accommodate special requests. We are available to offer suggestions and ensure that the music will be seamless on the day of the event.
On the day of the event our clients know that they can sit back and enjoy the music. Your guests can expect a diverse program that challenges their ideas of a string quartet. Often guests comment that they are surprised by the broad range of styles and pieces we perform.
Maybe you're thinking that you would like to have some background music for your wedding ceremony or anniversary party. We can do that! Maybe you're thinking you want to invite some friends over and enjoy an evening of hors d'oeurves and a private concert. We can do that too! The possibilities are limitless and we look forward to exploring them with you.
