We hired Quartet 515 for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and they truly elevated the entire day with their beautiful music. From the planning process to the event itself, they were an absolute joy to work with. Their extensive song list made it so easy to choose the perfect music for our special moments.
On the big day, they delivered flawlessly! We received countless compliments from our guests about how their performance added such a magical and elegant touch to the atmosphere. I cannot recommend Quartet 515 enough—they are professional, talented, and genuinely made our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for a string quartet for your event, look no further!
Quartet 515 brought our dreams to life! The music was absolutely beautiful and really made our ceremony. We got to select what we wanted played from a long list of songs and it was just magical. Would absolutely recommend! I hope to book them again for an event in the future! 1000/10
Quartet 515 played beautifully at our outdoor ceremony! They were organized and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. We loved that they were willing to learn a custom song for us. We couldn't recommend this Quartet more. LGBTQ friendly as well!
We booked Quartet 515 for our wedding ceremony and couldn’t be more impressed with their communication, performance and candor. They are all excellent musicians and great people. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would be happy to use them again for any future event.
I couldn't be more happy with the performance and professionalism from this group for my wedding. My guests loved the live performance and the song selection. Hanna is responsive, easy to work with, and very detail oriented to make sure you get what you're looking for. I don't know how she does it.
Quartet 515 was wonderful to work with! I had reached out to them after we decided to move locations a few months out from our wedding day in March. I worked with Hanna, who was so responsive and answered any questions that I had. We received so many compliments from our guests afterwards. I requested a custom song choice for walking down the aisle to and it was so beautiful. My husband and I would highly recommend booking with Quartet 515 to any couple. Thank you so much!

Beautiful playing, excellent communication prior to the event, played well for soloist, a total class group-thank you!
Quartet 515 played during our wedding ceremony and it was BEAUTIFUL! I had nothing to worry about come our big day as I knew the quartet would be professional, on time, and sound amazing. They played while our guests arrived and also as they filed out of the room for cocktail hour. They played both contemporary and classical per our request! Definitely recommend using Quartet 515 for your next event - beats any DJ or sound system!
They were professional, talented and played every song we asked for.
Beyond beautiful❤️ They made our day so
perfect. We will always be thankful❤️❤️
We lost count of how many of our guests mentioned to us how much they enjoyed Quartet 515 at our wedding. Prior to our ceremony, we were extremely pleased with their extensive repertoire, their professionalism, and their communication and coordination with us. And during the wedding itself, we could not have been more pleased with their performance. Of the myriad choices a couple needs to make for their wedding ceremony, choosing Quartet 515 to play for ours was one of the best we made.
We hired Quartet 515 for our wedding ceremony, and they were very professional and talented. They made our ceremony extra beautiful and classy. I definitely recommend!
Where do I even start to sing enough praise to this group??!? Having a string quartet at my wedding was one of my biggest wishes, and this group exceeded what I always dreamed of. They first off were just amazing performers and they have great song selection. They also are extremely professional and quick to respond. I was also so excited that they were able to play outside even though it was colder than it ever should be on October 6 since it was always a dream of mine to have everything outside. Would recommend to everyone!!
"Set the tone" for an elegant and vibrant wedding ceremony!! Our guests were more than impressed by the musicianship and ease of transition between pieces. Excellent communication and promptness for our meeting, rehearsal and wedding ceremony ! Five star rating!!!
Hanna and the team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. From prompt email responses to helping me work through our vision for the wedding ceremony, everything was amazing. They even composed two custom songs for us that turned out beautifully!
Quartet 515 did a phenomenal job entertaining our guests at a recent event. They are thoroughly professional and are the perfect compliment to any event. Hanna met with me in advance to make sure she had all of the details down and checked out the space to ensure their instruments would be heard by the guests. The contract process was easy and seamless and Hanna was always responsive to emailed questions. I would highly recommend Quartet 515 for any special event!!
Excellent communication. Made our wedding ceremony elegant and fun. People were very impressed and asked how I found them. Was a surprise for the bride, and she was in tears with how great they sounded and made our ceremony so memorable.
Quartet 515 went above and beyond to make my wedding ceremony everything I had dreamed of. They were always quick to respond and very accommodating. I made several specific requests and they were happy to fulfill them with a little extra cost. Quartet 515 was great to work with, not to mention their playing was spectacular!
A remarkable performance by an incredibly talented group. Our guests are still raving about it. Thank you, Quartet 515, for making our special day even more unforgettable.
Quartet 515 did an awesome job at our wedding this past December! We loved the idea of having string music playing modern songs, and that is exactly what they did. Hannah and her team were very responsive and stayed in touch to make sure they got all the details correct. They were very professional and impressive. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Joyce and Hanna sounded absolutely beautiful at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Hannah was always quick to respond, accommodating and very professional!
So easy to work with and just beyond amazing! A string quartet was on my wedding wish list and I'm so happy we found Quartet 515! For the ceremony, we chose one song off of their repertoire list and two that weren't. For the cocktail hour, they did a modern choice of songs. It all sounded SO good! Highly recommend!
They did a great job. They were very flexible with the time and being able to play when we needed them. I would recommend them for your next formal event. The group was great and played what they thought would fit the event.
We hired Quartet 515 for our wedding at Glen Oaks Country Club to play for the ceremony and for the cocktail hour. They were very accommodating and responsive in communications and music selections leading up to the wedding, and they played simply beautifully on our wedding day. I am just thrilled with how everything worked out! Thank you!!
Before I even had my wedding dress, my mom hired Quartet 515 for my wedding. Hanna was amazing to work with and answered all emails very quickly. I was able to pay a little extra for the quartet to play a song that was not previously in their playlist and it sounded amazing! They also played during our cocktail hour and although we weren't present for that part of the evening, our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the music was! Do not hesitate to hire Quartet 515!
Quartet was so easy and wonderful to work with! Hanna promptly responded to emails, and offered great advice on music choices for the ceremony. My mom and I were so excited to hear the quartet in person, but we had no idea that we would both start crying when they started to warmup! It is truly a beautiful sound, and I couldn't have imagined my ceremony or cocktail hour without them playing. If you are thinking about hiring this group for your special day or event, do not hesitate! They are professional, friendly, and incredibly talented.
The guests all loved the live music. They were prompt and very professional and required minimal work on my part. I was very pleased with their performance and professionalism.
Quartet515 was absolutely breathtaking at my wedding last August. Hanna was willing to meet with me in person to review the wedding timeline and learn the custom songs I requested. The group has such a fun, upbeat atmosphere to them. They helped make wedding planning easy and comfortable, there was never a doubt they could deliver! Wonderful group and experience!
