Absolutely great music!

Fretless music played at my wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Right from the start they responded to my inquiries quickly and were great to work with. Their music selection was so so long I had a hard time picking from all of the variety!

They played music during the ceremony which I did not get the chance to listen to, but all of my guests complimented them so much for doing such a great job. Once our processional started I got to listen to the music and it was lovely. They also did great with adjusting the length of the song to match the length of our procession. It was an absolute joy to have them play at our wedding they are super professional and I absolutely recommend and will absolutely use their services again!

Couldn't be better

We hired Fretless for our wedding at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. They were professional, skilled, and fantastic. They were truly a highlight of the wedding. They did three custom songs for us, and they were all fantastic!

Dream realized

I hired Fretless (string quartet) for my wedding ceremony, and they were amazing! As a musician, it was so important to me to set the tone with a live string ensemble and they delivered. Stephanie was incredibly responsive, thorough, and easy to work with. 10/10.
