Organized, Professional & Beautiful Music!

Highly recommend! Elizabeth and her team were wonderful to work with, and provided beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour! The Chesapeake Strings team was professional and organized and very prompt with communication when we had any questions.

Outstanding Quality and Excellence

The Chesapeake String Quartet was the secret ingredient that took our daughter's wedding to another level. The quality of their musicianship was outstanding. The background music sounds like a recording on the videos. My only regret is that I wasn't able to sit and listen to their entire repertoire!

Ceremony Music

I was very satisfied with the music and professionalism of the Chesapeake String Quartet. Seiko Syvertsen was responsive and professional. The music the day of the ceremony was beautiful and they received glowing reviews from our guests. Don’t be afraid to hire them sight unseen. You will not be disappointed!

The quartet was very flexible in playing whatever music we wanted (even a piece I wrote!) and they did a great job keeping each piece of music to the appropriate time length for each part of the wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
