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.
