About

We'll help you set the perfect tone for your wedding with music that reflects your personality and your vision for the Big Day. Not sure what you want? We'll help you choose music from our vast repertoire ... or even add new pieces at your request! Since 1999, the After Five String Quartet has been providing beautiful music for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions. Our goal is to provide you with music that fits your tastes at an affordable price.

Our library includes everything from traditional classical wedding pieces to contemporary / popular music. This versatility allows us to go from playing for a formal ceremony to a relaxed cocktail hour or reception. We accompany vocalists or other instrumentalists on request and also do our best to honor special music requests.

We're not a "pickup" group that gets together only at paid events. We rehearse together regularly, so that we arrive at your event thoroughly prepared and organized. After Five has performed at more than 550 weddings.

Wonderful in all aspects

Deborah, with After Five String Quartet, was such a pleasure to work with. She helped guide me with the music choices for our daughter's wedding. She and her musicians played so beautifully! Everything about her was wonderful from start to finish. I highly recommend her.

Easiest part of wedding planning!

After Five String Quartet was the easiest vendor to work with and went above and beyond our expectations! I would recommend them over and over again. They played during our cocktail hour and were a hit with all of our guests as well.

I would hire without reservation

We were beyond thrilled with this quartet. We had decided early in the planning process we wanted a 4-piece string quartet for my daughter's wedding mass and it was worth every penny. Because of Debra, my daughter got exactly what she wanted. Debra kept in constant communication with us. We needed to change a couple of our music selections and add a couple of music selections for our Catholic mass, Debra got back with me right away as well as making suggestions. Since the wedding was on the 15th of December, we requested traditional Christmas music for the prelude and it was lovely. I was very pleased that they had made contact with the vocalist regarding the "Ave Maria," and when the original vocalist became sick, they took care to work with the vocalist who replaced her. I am the Mama of the bride, but I would say, that my favorite part of the wedding was the mass and "After Five Quartet" was a huge reason why, the music was outstanding the guests thought so too.

Deborah and team were absolutely INCREDIBLE! Everything from start to finish was seamless. They have a ton of songs to choose from-- and naturally, despite that, I had an additional song (What a Beautiful Name, by Hillsong) that I thought would be a great addition to the ceremony :)They learned it for me and it was beautiful! I also wanted to play "All You Need Is Love" during the wedding, and we couldn't figure out where it would fit in the scheme of the rest of my ceremony, and Deborah went back and forth with me with ideas so that we could make it work. I'll never forget how special they made my ceremony and neither will you!

These are by far the most talented and professional musicians I have known. They went above and beyond, exceeding all expectations. Our wedding guests were moved to tears with their rendition of the Ave Maria. From the prelude to the postlude, everything was simply flawless and exquisite. Angelic!!

I absolutely LOVED working with the After-Five String Quartet. Deborah was so helpful during the planning process with choosing the types of pieces we wanted played during our wedding ceremony. She was very knowledgeable about the styles of music that people prefer and was able to make some great suggestions. The entire group was very professional and our guests loved listening to them during the cocktail hour. They were one of the easiest vendors to deal with during our wedding and I cannot wait to have another event where I will be able to hire them again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
