Classy and elegant!

From top to bottom, Drella Quartet delivered! Gavon was so easy to work with, always checking in to make sure we didn't have any questions, making sure there wasn't anything he could help with, he was so great. The amount of compliments we have gotten about the quartet is countless! If you're considering having a quartet, these are the musicians you want at your wedding!

Look no further!!!

If you are looking for a string quartet (or trio, like we had) look no further than Drella String Quartet. When I started my search for strings and saw their extensive library I knew I was going to go with them! They have literally THOUSANDS of songs in their library, basically any song you can think of, and if they somehow don’t have a certain song, it’s only a small up-charge for them to create the sheet music. Gavon was amazing throughout the process, and super responsive. Everyone I met from Drella was very kind and professional. I highly recommend Drella for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or any event where strings would be a vibe!

Perfect Wedding and Cocktail Hour

While planning my daughter’s wedding, we came across a short video of the Drella Quartet playing at a wedding during cocktail hour. We immediately looked them up. I contacted them right away, had a response from Gavon the next day, the wedding date was open, and I booked that night.

Our daughter got married three weeks ago. The Drella Quartet played before the wedding and provided all of the music during the ceremony. They packed up and played during cocktail hour at the reception. Having seen some videos of the quartet, I knew the music would be good, but good is too small of a word. The sound that came from this group of musicians was so magnificent that I was completely awestruck. We had so many people asking who they were and where we found them. Their music made the wedding and cocktail hour perfect. We couldn’t have asked for more.

At first glance, the quartet might seem expensive, but they are worth every last penny. Their professionalism is above and beyond. Communication with them is quick and easy. The list of songs to choose from is extensive and covers every genre. If you are planning a wedding, or any social event, I highly recommend booking the Drella Quartet. I promise you will not regret it.

Superb Musicians

The expansive repertoire provides endless options for your event from ultra formal to a fun relaxed vibe. The musicians are professionals and respond quickly to all inquires. They added the exact touch of sophistication and class we were looking for at our son's wedding and we received so many compliments on their performance.

Absolutely Perfect for Our Wedding!

We could not have asked for a more perfect string quartet for our wedding! They were incredibly professional, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. They played beautifully and brought our requested songs to life with so much warmth and artistry. Hearing one of my favorite songs performed live as I walked down the aisle toward my husband-to-be made that special moment even more powerful and memorable. If you're looking for talented musicians to make your wedding feel magical, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Hire drella sting quartet today

Drella was a stunning addition to my wedding day. They played as my guests arrived at the church, throughout the entire ceremony, and again as we left — and they truly made the whole experience magical. Their music lit up the church and made every single moment feel even more special.

Their communication and professionalism were 100 out of 10 from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend them more — hire them immediately, you won’t regret it! They perform at ceremonies and cocktail hours, and their sound is both classy and incredibly special. They added so much elegance and atmosphere to our day.

Kearney Wedding 09.06.25

My phenomenal wedding planner recommended Drella Quartet after we discussed an intimate, sophisticated, and classic ceremony.

Gavon made the entire booking process seamless, explained the different options for song selections, and was very responsive. The song list Drella offers is exceptional and day of, their performance was excellent. All of the song selections were played in the order we discussed when guests were arriving and for our ceremony.

I cannot recommend Drella enough, thank you for making our wedding day out of a dream!
