Great Experience!

We had the quartet for our wedding on 8.23 which just so happened to be Ron's wedding anniversary! You could feel them play with love throughout the prelude, ceremony, and reception! We absolutely loved having them with us and would recommend to everyone who is looking for a quartet!

Fairytale Wedding Ceremony Music

We hired the Allegro Quartet to perform live for our wedding ceremony and they did not disappoint. The service was excellent and on point from decades of experience in the business. Their skill and expertise allows them an incredible flexibility to be able to play whatever music you want. We wanted a traditional ceremony and the live music truly elevated the occasion and added an elegance and ambiance that makes the ceremony so much more memorable and adds so much more emotion and feeling and weight to the occasion. Ron, his wife Cynthia, and their colleagues are 2nd to none and are consummate pros. If you hire them for your music, rest assured, you will be in great hands.

Professional, personalized, and welcoming

Ron and the rest of the Allegro team did an amazing job of providing exactly the music we wanted on our wedding day, and helping us figure out what we wanted in the weeks before. Ron has a vast depth of knowledge for what's been done before and will also incorporate whichever unique piece you want without hesitation. He helped us not only decide on our music, but gave us advice on how to get them to flow together while incorporating our special requests and changes.

Allegro Quartet was Phenomenal

I highly, highly recommend hiring the Allegro Quartet for your wedding. Ron was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process, from song selection, to AV set up, to playing during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Ron has many songs to choose from, and has great suggestions to enhance the playlist. Our guests were extremely happy listening to the quartet and I received a lot of compliments. I am very happy with our choice to hire Allegro Quartet and recommend them to every couple getting married! Thank you for adding to the success of our wedding!

Highly Recommend

My wife and I decided we wanted to hire a string quartet for our wedding very late in the process of our planning. We reached out to Ron and he could not have made things easier on us as far as suggestions and planning for our event. Thankfully, the crew had availability and quoted a very reasonable price to perform at our wedding. We had some weather challenges the day of our wedding and Ron and team took everything in stride and were very communicative of what could be expected should the weather not cooperate. Thankfully we had a good window for the ceremony and the Quartet played beautifully! We are so thankful we had the ceremony video recorded, because in the moment it's difficult to fully appreciate their performance, but now we can revisit it for years to come. The Quartet also performed for our cocktail hour, while we were unable to attend due to taking pictures, we received rave reviews from our guests throughout the night. I highly recommend Ron and the Allegro Quartet if you are looking for a classic and tasteful music addition to your ceremony and cocktail hour!

Exceptional and wonderful to work with!

Our wedding included several professional musicians, and the Allegro Quartet did not disappoint! It was really wonderful working with Ron, and he made the entire process quite easy and seamless for us (which, as a bride, I was truly grateful for). From the music selection, where we could add any music we wanted, to structuring the ceremony timeline and ensuring that we weren't missing any vital components for our big day, there's no one else we could recommend more!

Great customized experience

Ron and Pam were great to work with and helped us curate our music selection for our ceremony including our entrance and exit as well as songs to entertain guests prior to the bridal party entrance. They were very professional, responsive, and fun! Would highly recommend them for your big day.

Excellent Choice

Ron was so great to work with in getting song selections set and then ultimately being so so flexible when our ceremony venue had to change last minute, and even from indoors to outdoors! The quartet was fantastic and I'm so happy we went with Allegro. You won't be disappointed.
