Made our wedding so special

We were so happy with the Ovation String Quartet for our wedding ceremony. We found them on The Knot and were really impressed by their extensive song list and the option to have them learn one new song by request. They played beautifully at our ceremony at 7 Vines Vineyard, and their presence fit the atmosphere perfectly. Even though I didn’t get to hear much of their performance myself, we received so many compliments from our guests about how lovely the music was.

Laurie and her team were easy to work with, and their professionalism really stood out. They were the perfect addition to our day, and we’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for elegant live music for their wedding or event.

Easy to work with

Laurie was super easy to work with and they have a great list of music to choose from! They also put together a request for me that wasn't on their repertoire list and did a fantastic job. I had multiple guests come up to me after the ceremony who said they enjoyed music. I highly recommend Ovation String Quartet!

Amazing String Quartet

We had a great experience with Ovation String Quartet! The quartet performed beautifully at our wedding ceremony even in extreme winds! Laurie was very responsive, helpful, organized, and supportive throughout the planning process. They have an extensive and amazing selection of music in their repertoire. We are so happy we chose Ovation String Quartet and cannot recommend them enough!

Breathtaking music, lovely to work with

We were blown away by the amazing job that Ovation did at our wedding. We had to reschedule our wedding 2x due to COVID, so we had a lot of time to decide on music! Laurie was super responsive and went above and beyond to compose several custom arrangements for our pre-wedding music. She and her team also composed Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen for my bridal processional, which was absolutely magical and everything I dreamed of when I walked down the aisle. Highly recommend for any event if you are looking for talented musicians who are able to take your special day to the next level!

Ovation String Quartet will be a Memory of Our Wedding that I Cherish Forever

Laurie and the rest of Ovation String Quartet were a joy to work with. They were extremely accommodating and kind when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. When our amended wedding date finally arrived, our guests very much enjoyed the wide range of music that they offered, from the traditional wedding march to the Beatles to the White Stripes; and they worked with us to select music that was a reflection of my husband and I.

A memory I will never forget is during the hustle and bustle of the cake cutting they cued up "Grow Old With You" from the movie the Wedding Singer, which is a favorite of ours' and a request that they took time to master during the postponement. Ovation String Quartet played a large part in making our wedding day lovely and I couldn't recommend them more!

Quality Musicians, Quality Professionals

I'm a classically trained and degreed musician and am very happy I found Ovation to play for my wedding. Laurie was incredibly responsive and helpful in discussing repertoire, They were also very flexible considering we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE due to COVID. In case you are wondering, their playing was beautiful. If you are looking for a group of high quality professional musicians, look no further.

Amazing string quartet! I recommend them to anyone!

The Ovation String Quartet played prelude and ceremony music for our August 2021 wedding and they were absolutely amazing. The quartet performed with perfection and never missed a cue, making the whole presentation seamless. Their communication while coordinating our arrangement was impeccable as well, not to mention the two slightly unique songs they customized for our ceremony. My husband teared up just from listening to the digitalized version of his walk out song! I 100% recommend Ovation String Quartet to anyone looking for live string music during their wedding or any other special celebration.

Beautiful Music & Fantastic Service

My husband and I used Ovation for our wedding this past October. The pandemic provided numerous logistical challeneges but the group was still very willing to play at our very small outdoor ceremony. They timing and quality of each selection was lovely and numerous guests commented on how much they enjoyed our live music. Hats off to Laurie who manages the group and was so kind and pleasant throughout all of the communication.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We worked w/ Laurie and the rest of her amazing quartet on New Year's Eve. Everything ran smoothly and they worked well with us to cue the music and get the wedding party down the aisle one by one. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

Wonderful quartet, such talented musicians! So lovely to work with. :)

Class Act DJ's & Officiants Class Act DJ's & Officiants Wedding DJs

Our wedding officiants work with DJ's and musicians. When a couple has hired the people from Ovavtion we are always pleased. Their group understands it is about the ceremony and not the song. The almost every ceremony has some small thing that needs to be accommodated on an extremely short notice. Real professionals like Ovation can improvise and make it look like it was planned.
