Beautiful music

The Kennedy String Quartet added an unforgettable elegance to our wedding day. Their music set the perfect tone from the moment guests arrived, creating a warm and elevated atmosphere throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. The transitions were seamless, the song choices were beautifully performed, and the quality of their playing was outstanding.

They were professional, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding. We never had to worry about a single detail—they handled everything with calm expertise.

Our guests raved about how beautiful the music was, and several told us it felt like being at a live concert. The quartet truly elevated the experience, and we’re so grateful to have had them as part of our day.

If you’re looking for live musicians who bring both artistry and professionalism, Kennedy String Quartet is an exceptional choice.

Incredible String Quartet!

The Kennedy String Quartet was an absolute highlight of our wedding cocktail hour and our reception. Their performance was nothing short of incredible—I was completely blown away. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the music was.

A special shoutout to Gavon who was so helpful and attentive in the lead-up to our big day. He made sure that all of our music requests were taken care of and ensured that everything went smoothly. The booking process was also incredibly easy, and they have such a diverse and extensive catalog to choose from. The entire experience was seamless, and it was exactly what we envisioned. I highly recommend the Kennedy String Quartet for anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their event - even if you're like us and you want that touch to be mostly Hip Hop and R&B - KSQ is the one for you!

Beautiful addition to our day!

We are so grateful we had Kennedy Strings as a part of our day! I had dreamed of having strings at my wedding and they were one of my favorite parts of the day! They added so much beauty and elegance to our ceremony and cocktail hour and the guests raved about the music. I had a friend who was a singer and I wanted her to sing a song and they coordinated and rehearsed with her as well.

They have hundreds of songs in their repertoire and it was so great to hear some of our favorite popular tunes on strings! My fiancé loves getting to hear some of his favorite anime covers played!

I would recommend them to anyone who wants to add some elegance to their day! They were east to work with and I am so glad we had them!

A Wonderful Experience!

I’m so happy we found the Kennedy String Quartet for our Sept wedding! Ross coordinated easily with our wedding planning team and venue. On the big day, the members of our quartet were friendly, professional, and VERY talented. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the live music, and how fun it was that they could play so many pop songs. We booked the quartet for our entire reception, including cocktail hour, sit down meal, first dance, etc. Again, the musicians were very friendly, followed all COVID protocol, and seemed to really enjoy being part of our wedding day. Thank you!
