THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! Perfect combo of live music, fun DJ, and dynamic energy!

ESQ was recommended to us by friends who were planning their wedding and had booked them. Our friends described them as fantastic to work with, very communicative, and organized. From our initial phone call with Jenny and Ray, we knew we had found our perfect fit for our wedding music professionals. We booked them and then got a preview of them in action at our friends’ wedding – where we had a blast dancing all night long – solidifying that we had made the right decision.

Jenny with her contagious, positive energy and Ray with his strong attention to detail make an incredible team in the planning process. ESQ was truly a beacon of light during what is often a stressful planning process. Jenny and Ray got to know us and our relationship with each other, walked us through the flow of the event, brainstormed song choices with us, and were incredibly gracious with incorporating some last minute requests. ESQ made planning fun, personal, and they really took the time to understand us, the special moments we valued and wanted to highlight.

Music is such a personal thing and choosing who represented the music at our wedding felt like a really big choice. We knew three things when we set out to find our wedding music professionals: (1) we wanted live music incorporated into the day; (2) we wanted a DJ for the reception for ultimate song choice flexibility (we have a wide range of music tastes and it sure showed at the wedding); and (3) we wanted a party on the dance floor. We honestly weren’t convinced that we could find a group that could do all three, but ESQ delivered on these three big things and more! ESQ stood out to us with their unique and talented string quartet, their fun and easygoing personalities, their professionalism and frequent communication, and how much they genuinely care about the couples they work with. Their repertoire is vast – we were overwhelmed (in a good way) with the vast range of songs they are prepared to play live.

As for the actual wedding day, we may be biased but the music at our wedding was incredible. One of the things that drew us to ESQ in the first place was their dynamic ability to transition the music throughout the night – setting a romantic, timeless scene for our wedding ceremony with their live strings, transitioning to upbeat covers of modern songs for our cocktail hour, and really turning up the party with Jenny as the DJ and the accompanying electric strings. Our guests learned the choreography to Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go,” belted out Teenage Dirtbag, and were delightfully surprised by Simple Plan’s rendition of “What’s New Scooby Doo” (Trust me it’s a banger). You could not pry our feet from the dance floor – we (bride + groom) with all of our guests danced the night away. As one of our friends remarked to us after the event “it was banger after banger and it was impossible to find a bad song to sneak away for a bathroom break.”

ESQ was one of the most memorable parts of the day and our guests have continued to share how beautiful the ceremony arrangements were, how fun and unique ESQ was particularly during cocktail hour and the reception, and how sore they were the next day after all the dancing!

Tldr (because let’s be fair, you’re busy and trying to make wedding planning decisions) – If you are looking for talented live musicians, an organized (and truly lovely) planning team, and a wedding or event filled with beautiful music and dancing – book ESQ! We truly cannot say enough good things (and are looking for every excuse to book them again in the future)!

Amazing experience!

We hired Elegance String Quartet for our March 2024 wedding, and 6 months out, our guests are still raving about the music! From the day we began working with ESQ we knew we were in good hands. They were professional, easy to work with, and truly got to know us and our music preferences.
They followed us throughout the day of our wedding- playing as a quartet at our ceremony, moving onto electric strings at our cocktail hour, and a DJ Fusion at the reception. They were AMAZING all day and night. I cannot recommend a more fun and unique way to incorporate live music with a DJ.
I am so thankful we got to work with ESQ at our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!
