Brilliant on Every Level

First off, Cattus Quartet was really easy to communicate with. When our venue had a sudden date change for our wedding, they were more than happy to accommodate the changes. We also commissioned them to score a new song and they performed it beautifully during the ceremony! They have a large selection of songs already and their String Trio's performance elevated our wedding with grace and elegance that we were absolutely floored with! Our guests adored them. Us, as newlyweds, are nerds at heart, so getting to hear Dearly Beloved, A Town With an Ocean View, and Path of the Wind struck a chord with us. They really caught on with our personalities and they were incredibly pleasant to work with. We wish there was some way we could rewind time to listen to them all over again!

Music for an Unforgettable Experience

This review is quite overdue, but I cannot state how incredibly happy my husband and I were with choosing to go with Cattus Quartet. They played at our wedding ceremony and their music created the perfect atmosphere to make our ceremony a beautiful experience.

Lydia, who was our primary contact, was incredibly pleasant, helpful and communicative throughout, both when we were first initially inquiring about their services, as well as when we were coordinating everything the last couple of weeks leading up to the big day. Additionally, she also helped put us in contact with a vocalist and pianist, whom also performed with them. They performed a beautiful mix of classic wedding and church songs, which is a testament to their versatile skill with both popular and religious music.

I can’t say enough good things about Cattus and would wholeheartedly recommend them. Their beautiful music creates an unforgettable experience.

Cattus Quartet is Phenominal

This review is long overdue. We had the honor of having Cattus Quartet perform at our wedding as guests arrived and during the the ceremony. They were absolutely awesome to work with and we loved having modern song options to entertain our guests upon arrival. From Guns & Roses to Lady Gaga, everyone absolutely loved the live music. We also loved walking down the aisle to their gorgeous rendition of "Can't Help Falling In Love," and they sent us off with a bang with the Beatles classic, "All You Need Is Love." Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them and we can't thank them enough for their beautiful music. Plus the fact that they donate a portion to animal causes fit right in line with us as a couple. If you're looking for an exceptional quartet to make your big day even more special, this is the one! Thank you!

Best quartet in Los Angeles!

Cattus Quartet played around our wedding this past year and I have to say, they are beyond amazing! Easy to work with. Lydia was super clear, responsive and pleasant. We got the Rock Package that include the trio and a drummer. Best decision we made for our reception. They were so professional. They set up all on their own while I was running around like a mad women. The huge selection of songs were so fun, ranging from classical, rock, r&b, pop, etc. It was so hard to narrow down all the songs we wanted but Lydia helped us construct the perfect play list. Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding and we had to move the reception and dinner inside. They quickly adapted and moved yet a second time to accommodate space. 100% I will be calling them back for my big birthday coming up. I can’t imagine any parties in the future without them. Please check out their website to see all of their videos for samples. Bonus, they love animals and donate proceeds to charity. Beautiful musics and hearts. Love you guys! XO

Incredible!

We went with their hybrid rock package which consisted of the string trio for our ceremony and the addition of their drummer for cocktail. It was the perfect mix of having elegant music for our ceremony and more energy with the drummer for cocktail hour. It was such a unique combination of live music and they sounded incredible live! I just wish I could have been around for the entire cocktail hour. We received SO many compliments from our guests. We would without a doubt hire them again!

Talented professionals

We can’t say enough about our experience with the Cattus Quartet! From our first communication to my daughters wedding day communication and guidance with music selections were seamless! They were everything we’d hoped they’d be and more! Thank you to the amazingly talented Cattus Quartet!

Best Vendor

Cattus came highly recommended by my planner who happened to be my wife's best friend, so we trusted all her recommendations. She said they were the best sounding quartet she's worked with and also really professional. She was right! They totally blew us away with their playing and how on top of everything they were with details and making sure all the cues went correctly on the day of our wedding. They are completely worth the money!

Beautiful Music

I have recommended Cattus to everyone I know who is getting married. I chose their Rock Package of string trio and drums, and they added so much to our cocktail hour. You can't beat live music, and the unique combination was definitely a wow factor for our guests. They kept the energy high and it really was perfect. I received so many compliments. They are top notch! Hire them!

Beautiful job - true professionals

We made the decision the hire a string trio for our wedding ceremony despite it being over our initial budget plan. I couldn't help myself...I played the cello for many years and just love a great in-person trio or quartet! But I wondered leading up to the big day if I really should have sprung for that, would it be worth it...well, Cattus Quartet was worth every penny. They were a true delight to work with, taking the time to meet with my mom and me when we were in town to discuss our music choices and the style I was hoping they'd play in. The day of the wedding, despite some pretty intense wind, the quality of their music was superb and it came through beautifully in our outdoor ceremony. I had some specific requests in terms of the tone I hoped they would play my processional song, and they executed exactly what I was hoping for. The over all effect of their music was just so lovely and personal, and frankly it calmed my nerves as I was about to walk down the aisle. Thank you, Cattus Quartet, for being so kind and accommodating, and for creating such beautiful music on our special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
