Best Quartet Experience Ever!

We used Elegance Quartet for our wedding in January. From start to finish the experience of working with them was phenomenal! We first saw them perform at our friend’s wedding, and we were so impressed, that we knew we had to have them for ours. Before we had booked a venue, we were reaching out to them for more information. We chose their full package. Having them play the ceremony cocktail hour, dinner hour, and reception. Jenny and Ray worked closely with us to ensure that everything was as we envisioned it. We received so many comments and compliments on how wonderful the music and entertainment was. All our guests were thoroughly impressed. I can’t picture our wedding without Elegance Quartet. They truly were the icing on the top of the cake. I can promise you won’t be disappointed. They will deliver for you a magical experience that will only enhance your wedding or special event. Many thanks and love to Jenny, Ray, and the whole team.

Book These Guys!!

“Wow”, “phenomenal” and “super cool” - all comments given by guests at our brunch wedding listening to ESQ and their amazingly talented musical skills. One guest was like “they just played lady Gaga…on strings!!”. We can’t recommend them enough - the flare and ambience they created for the wedding ceremony and prelude were fantastic. They played for our cocktail hour and wow’ed guests and us with their renditions of pop, rock, musicals and more! There repertoire is so varied and they are always open to new songs and artists. Working with Jenny to organize the day, have her do some MC duties, and coordinate was the easiest thing - she’s like working with a great friend that wants to make your day a special one. Ray organized and wrote out two new songs for us - our special first dance and our entrance song - both were superb! Communication was always professional and quick, not to mention easy. And the music - again, can not say enough good things about their amazing abilities to take any song and give it their own interpretation while constantly wowing not only us but all of our guests!

Wedding Reception DJ Fusion option

We booked the Elegance Quartet for our wedding reception and they did an OUTSTANDING job. They played live during our dinner hour and we received several compliments about their performance as we were going around from table to table.

We chose the DJ Fusion package, where a few members play their light up electric string instruments overtop of a DJ after dinner. It was the perfect medium between a full on DJ and a band. The string players went out into the crowd at times to help hype them up and played to some of our guests individually during slower songs.

Throughout the duration of planning, I spoke directly with Ray. He was incredibly easy to work with and very straightforward about all the services their group had to offer.

I can’t recommend the Elegance Quartet enough, they are professionals through and through. If you’re looking for something to wow your crowd that’s a bit different than a standard DJ or band, the DJ Fusion option is perfect.

Thank you so much Ray and the Elegance Quartet! We had an absolute blast at our wedding and we owe a large part of it to you guys!

An Elegant Affair By Marianne An Elegant Affair By Marianne Wedding Officiants

An Elegance String Quartet is Philadelphia's most prestigious musical ensemble. An Elegance String Quartet was borne on a cruise ship in 2009. Since then, this extremely talented group of artists had the distinct honor to perform at some of the world's most distinguished stages and alongside the music industry's big name performers. If you think that An Elegance String Quartet's musical repertoire is limited only to classical music, think again. Ray and his fellow musicians play an array of accompaniments ranging from classical standards to today's top hits and changing every year to keep their music fresh and stylish. Their jazz combo features saxophone, keyboard, drums, and bass, and can be modified to your liking. You can always listen to one of their public live performances or listen to recorded selections on their website. If you're looking for something different but elegant, I suggest you let An Elegance String Quartet perform at your event. You won't be disappointed. PS tell them Rev Marianne sent you.

I have been officiating at wedding ceremonies for many years now and I have had the pleasure of working with many musicians that make the ceremonies so special. In all of those I can assure you that Elegance String Quartet is at the top of the game! Ray and his associates are not only consummate professionals, but they are seamlessly integrated into all that happens on your special wedding day. Now, for many, that may seem like a 'given', but I can assure you that when the musicians are 'off' the entire ceremony is, too. I have never once had an issue with Elegance String Quartet! Ray always greets me when I arrive and we exchange updates and ensure that we are on the 'same page', then, their professionalism and expertise is very apparent as they give their very best and the music is simply wonderful! The music is absolutely stunning, the musicians are a true pleasure to work with, and I would honestly recommend them to anyone looking for this exquisite touch to your special wedding day. Thank you, Ray, for being simply the best! Father Jim St. George, Saint Miriam Parish, Wedding Officiant!
