The Morris Quartet is Philadelphia's premier ensemble for weddings, parties, and special occasions. This accomplished group of musicians bring together years of diverse performance experience to offer elegant music and memorable events. From classical to contemporary, the Morris Quartet specializes in personalized music selections for extraordinary days.
This team's lack of communication resulted in our ceremony being screwed up last minute. I still haven’t heard from Ross, the manager, after many attempts. The problem:
I said to Ross, weeks before the wedding: “Your contract says you won’t play below 60 degrees. This is a November wedding. How do we ensure the players can play?”
Ross replied: “50 is our hard cut-off. You’ll be fine. We’re playing outside most of November.”
That’s the last I heard from Ross - ever.
I offered to provide heaters for the players, paying for them myself. I didn't hear back regarding this solution. Finally, we heard “we’re good!” from Ross on an email chain with the venue. So, we believed that Ross was ignoring our communication because there was no problem. OK, that’s fine - we were just glad to have the music.
The day came. Last minute, I was whisked away from my wedding duties just before everything was about to start. The players refused to perform. It was below 60, and they cited their contract over and over. I showed them emails from Ross where he says “50 is the hard cut-off”. This just made them uncomfortable. The disconnect within this team ultimately cost us hours of music, our precious few moments before our ceremony, and all of our money. That’s right - we’ve received no money back. We paid for 2 hours of music, and got 7 or 8 minutes.
I’m not a crazy person who runs to online reviews. I’m not a ranter and a raver. But this situation is incredibly disappointing and I need to warn anyone else who considers the Morris String Quartet in any kind of semi-cool environment. It’s not going to be worth the miscommunication.
