October 21, 2024Absolutely wonderful!
All of our guests were raving about the music. They even learned and played two new songs for our wedding because my wife is a huge Depeche Mode fan.

October 14, 2018Best Quartet to use for your Wedding!
Alicia and her team were fantastic and very easy to work with. The best part of working with them is that they have nearly all of their songs on their website so that you can sample the songs and see which songs you want to include.
They stuck to the songs that we wanted, and they played beautifully! I have been to several events with quartets, and they were one of the best if not the BEST group I have ever heard! They were the BEST that I have ever heard at a wedding. I wish that we spent more time up on the roof enjoying their music, but we were running around doing photos and other things around the venue for the ceremony.
They also worked with me on timing so that they had adequate shade if umbrellas or portable cover is not available. We looked at a shade study to confirm that they would have the right amount of shade from an adjacent building structure.

June 25, 2026Professional, Talented, and a Pleasure to Work With
I booked Organic String Quartet on relatively short notice for a reception at an academic conference, and they exceeded all expectations. From the start, their communication was excellent, and they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the planning process.
On the day of the event, they arrived early, were fully set up well before the start time, and performed seamlessly throughout the entire reception. They offer a variety of playlists to suit different events; we selected their classical repertoire, which complemented the atmosphere and theme perfectly.
Their musicianship was outstanding, and they added a sophisticated and welcoming ambiance that our attendees greatly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Organic String Quartet to anyone looking for talented, reliable, and professional musicians. If I have another event in the Pasadena area, they will be at the top of my list.

May 6, 2026Amazing!!!
The string trio at the HALA Gala was absolutely fantastic. Their music added such an elegant and sophisticated touch to the evening and truly elevated the atmosphere from the moment guests arrived. They struck the perfect balance between classy background music and engaging performance, creating an ambiance that felt both welcoming and upscale.
We received so many compliments from attendees throughout the night about how talented and professional they were. Their song selection, presentation, and ability to seamlessly complement the flow of the event made a huge impact on the overall guest experience. We would gladly recommend them for any corporate event, gala, or special occasion.
