About

Allegria Ensemble musicians perform as the Allegria String Quartet, or as a trio, duo, or solo. We are based in State College, PA in Centre County, in central Pennsylvania. In addition to wedding ceremony music, we can provide background music for a reception or banquet. With our acoustic sound your guests can converse without shouting. We perform in a variety of venues including churches, resorts, wineries, and gardens. Our playlist includes wedding standards, light classics, ragtime, waltzes, opera melodies, and pop tunes including Coldplay, John Legend, the Beatles, and Cole Porter. We can play for a candle lit event with our cordless lights.

Elegant and perfect

They were perfect. They custom played a few songs at our request (at a minimal additional fee to prepare the music), they played all others perfectly. They blended in beautifully to the scene. They were exceptional. Highly recommend.

String Quartet Provided the Perfect Touch!

Allegria Ensemble's string quartet provided the music for our daughter's wedding ceremony. Our daughter had a very specific song (an obscure Italian song) that she wanted for her entrance and Jonathan actually put together his own arrangement of the song for us! Their rendition of Here Comes the Sun for the entrance of the groomsmen and bridesmaids brought tears to my eyes. Their music just added the perfect touch to the entire ceremony!

The best choice for wedding ceremony music!

Allegria was the key to making our wedding ceremony such a special day. The music and talent of the ensemble was above and beyond what we expected. The planning process was easy and they were extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. They even composed a custom piece upon our request that sealed the deal and made the ceremony something that my wife and I along with all of our guests will remember forever! I am so happy we decided to choose them for our ceremony music and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a string ensemble for any occasion. Having live string music at that talent level blew us and our guests away. To top it off, they offer it for such an unmatched value!!! Thank you Allegria!

Truly Amazing String Quartet!

So fortunate to have had the pleasure of experiencing the Allegria Ensemble! Loved the fact that they had such a wide repetoire of songs to select from including classic to contemporary. This string quartet is a must for your event - so classy and elegant. Their music is beautiful and emotionally moving. Guests raved about the quartet being one of the highlights of the day.
