Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Elevated with Special Ambiance

Dan and company were incredible in helping us plan for and execute on the day of our wedding.  Dan was super responsive and actively worked to get songs we requested arranged if the group didn’t already have them in their repertoire.  The music they played was great and sounded incredible at our outdoor venue.  So many people came up to us and said what a unique touch and special thing it was to have them play during our ceremony and cocktail hour.  I cannot recommend this group enough!

The most beautiful ceremony music

Dan/LCQ team curated and performed the most beautiful ceremony music for our big day. We appreciate their genuine love and dedication to making our ceremony so special and memorable and going above and beyond to learn and play a wind acoustic version of my dream bridal entrance song. LCQ was an integral part in making our wedding day everything I dreamed it would be and more: the ceremony music was beautiful, timeless and unforgettable. Thank you so much for curating the perfect songs and most importantly, for making my very particular request for the “Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful” song (the DREAM bridal entrance song) into a reality. It was perfect. Thank you so much for being a part of our ceremony!

Used them twice for high profile events

I had two high-profile work events that needed music during the cocktail reception. I connected with Dan, and he was amazing to work with. They worked with me to cultivate a playlist that worked for our audience, showed up on time and were professionally dressed, and played beautifully. I highly recommend them for your ceremony or reception.

An Elegant Addition to Any Wedding

They were super easy to work with and a HUGE hit at our wedding. They really just elevated the ceremony and made our day even more special. They responded in a timely manner and had all the songs we wanted. 100% would recommend!

Great Music and Lighting

Dan provided lightning and background music for our wedding reception, and we couldn’t be happier with the services! The ambiance created a perfect setting for the celebration. He was prompt and clear with communications, ready for set up on time, and kept things running smoothly throughout the evening. I highly recommend Dan and LCQ for any and all events.

Our favorite live musical group.

Our family has used the Left Coast Quintet and trio for a number of occasions throughout the years. It is a pleasure to write them a review here, because they've gone out of their way to make our events special and provide exceptional music. We've had them for two weddings, a couple holiday events, and a memorial service, and each time it is always lovely working with Dan and the LCQ team to come up with a set list of beautiful music that fits the theme. We've had many guests come tell us just how much they loved the music and how friendly the musicians are in talking with them about the different instruments in the ensemble, and they are great with kids too!

Incredible musical group for any occasion

We booked LCQ for our wedding ceremony, and they couldn’t have possibly been better. They even did custom arrangements for specific songs we wanted, and all our guests raved about their performance. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Really made my wedding day special!

I wasn't sure what I wanted for wedding ceremony music. We thought we'd just go with some pre-recorded songs on a speaker. I met the LCQ ensemble at a wedding show and was immediately convinced this was the way to go. The way they sculpted the mood while my family arrived, and then performed beautiful custom arrangements of our favorite music, was so special. This team of musicians really are the best out there, beyond the music,they are so professional, friendly, and really care about you. Outside of my wedding planner, LCQ was the most reliable, communicative, and consistent person I dealt with.

Absolutely Amazing!

Left Coast Quintet did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding! They played prior to the ceremony starting, during the ceremony, and during cocktail hour. They have a long list of songs that they play and they even learned a new one just for us.

We had them play Disney music, Harry Potter music during our cocktail hour and our guests loved it!

We can’t thank Left Coast enough. They made our wedding extra special!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
