About

Forte Quartet has been performing together for over 20 years at weddings and receptions in the Kansas City metro area. We love working with couples and coordinators are proud to be one of the most trusted string groups in the greater KC area. We have one of the largest popular music lists in the business with everything from Canon in D to Sweet Child O' Mine and are constantly adding new music! See our website for our list!

When you choose a Trio or Quartet for your event, we offer an in person music consultation for our local contracted brides (when schedules allow) where we will help you pick the perfect music for your special day! We play several pieces for you live and walk you through all the options that best match your wedding aesthetic. It's like a private concert just for you and anyone you want to bring and has become a favorite event in wedding planning from our couples.

Our calendar fills up quickly so don't delay to reach out with your date! We'd love to see if we can make your musical dreams come true! We love what we do and truly think that live music is the most impactful thing you can add to your ceremony! It truly sets the atmosphere and adds an elegant touch that your guests will talk about all night!

Want to see if your favorite song is on our list? Visit our website and look under our "Recommendations" tab.

To listen to samples of our music, please visit our website and look under our "Samples" tab or check out our YouTube Channel @fortequartetkc

We offer many different ensemble options for your music but we recommend our quartet option as the best value and the best sound in the area.

Beautiful Music for a Beautiful Wedding

Forte' was a fantastic choice for our wedding ceremony! The music was just perfect! They allowed us to help pick out the songs and even join their rehearsal so we could hear the music beforehand. The price was reasonable and the process of signing up simple and straightforward. We definitely would recommend Forte for any event!

Forte was the perfect addition to our wedding!!!

We are so happy that we hired Forte to play before and during our ceremony. They were incredibly talented and so fun and kind. It added the perfect touch to our wedding and we received so many compliments from guests. They were so professional and blew us away with their extensive list of songs across all genres. We definitely recommend hiring them for your wedding (or any event for that matter)!

Forte String Trio

We booked Forte's String Trio option for pre-ceremony and ceremony music. They were easy to work with and we loved the experience of listening to them play and choosing our songs. We received a lot of great feedback from our guests and we think they added a special touch to the day. We highly recommend Forte to any couple getting married and looking to add some live music to the day!

Springtime Wedding String Duet

As we were planning the final details of our wedding and looking for ways to make the day that much more special, our wedding planner recommended we take a look at adding a performance by Forte, and we couldn't have been happier with the result! They were great to work with, they adapted our music selections to the moment, and guests were totally wowed.

Beautiful ceremony music

Forte was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for in our ceremony music. They were helpful in selecting size of the group needed and in music selection. We had a Catholic wedding, and they helped us select appropriate music for pre-ceremony, procession, and post-ceremony and we were able to throw in a fun song at the end. Easy to work with, responsive, and beautiful music!

They made our day!

Forte went above and beyond on our wedding day. Not only were they exceptional in their performance, but also, they made a point to play our special songs for us before the wedding when we were doing our sneak peek of the wedding ceremony space - and I was brought to tears. Further, they learned songs for us by request. Highly recommend this group of talented individuals!
