Xavier Quinn cello
"Wedding ceremony/cocktail hour, short ceremony. For October 10 of this month"
Lilli Elliott - Cellist
"I hired Lilli and Matt relatively last minute. They were very helpful in coordinating songs to play. They arrived 30 minutes before the event and even stayed a little longer. They were very flexible when my aunt decided to rewrite some ideas. I appreciate her kindness, understanding and flexibility. They played beautifully and flawlessly. I would definitely recommend and hire again."
Elite Strings Ensemble
"Absolute best party our club has had. Igor was so easy to work with leading up to our event. The quartet was great.
Such talented musicians, and so kind and thoughtful. All around great evening."
Zai Kristy
"WOW! WOW!!! Christy made my wife's 50th birthday an AMAZING event! It was like having a private concert on a rooftop! Every guest commented on how fantastic her music was. Thank God she was there...because the guests were concentrating on her and not the other "issues" I was having with the birthday party preparations. I would give her 20 out of 10 if I could. Definitely the best money for the evening!"
Pan String Quartet
"The Pan String Quartet performed for our wedding. From beginning to end, they were very easy to communicate with. We had a special request, which was John Denver's "Country Roads." They performed it flawlessly. Thank you again!"
Daniela Cellist
"I contacted Daniela about surprising my girlfriend at her job at a hospital and playing a song for her when she came out. Daniela played her Love of my life by Queen outside of an ambulance ER entrance which made her cry happy tears. Thank you so much for being so accomodating with such a unique request and with such bad weather. (Rain) Youve given us such a memory that we’ll both keep forever."
