Such a special touch!

We wanted to add a special touch to our cocktail hour and a vendor recommended we reach out to PSQ. After the rave reviews and our first communication, we booked them - and they did not disappoint. Guests are still calling me days later telling me how fun, cool, and special PSQ was during our cocktail hour. Cocktail hour at our venue was very spread out, but PSQ's setup and mobility helped keep the room intimate and the energy upbeat. We are so glad that we got to include them on our big day and will recommend them to all our friends! Thank you PSQ!

Amazing experience!

We are so thrilled we chose Philadelphia String Quartet to be a part of our wedding day! They brought such a unique and beautiful energy to both our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their modern string arrangements were absolutely stunning—they played contemporary songs with such elegance and style, and it was the perfect blend of timeless and fresh.

One of the things that meant the most to us was that they learned and performed all of the songs we chose for our processional. Each piece was executed flawlessly, and hearing our favorite music played live as we walked down the aisle was incredibly emotional and unforgettable.
For cocktail hour, we didn’t give them a required playlist because we trusted their expertise—and they did not disappoint. They curated a perfect set that was fun, engaging, and beautifully performed. It created such a lovely atmosphere, and our guests were absolutely raving about the music.

Their repertoire is impressively extensive, and every song they played was executed with such precision and heart. From start to finish, Philadelphia String Quartet was professional, talented, and an absolute joy to work with. Their music elevated the entire experience and made our day even more magical. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Fun flare for cocktail hour music !

We booked a string trio through PSQ for the cocktail hour at our wedding and it was amazing. Communication leading up to the date was always prompt, professional and thorough. The musicians sounded amazing and added such a fun flare to the cocktail hour by playing current music on their strings which we loved. Highly recommend for a fun twist on usual cocktail hour music - thank you!!

Perfection!

The Philadelphia String Quartet played at my daughter’s wedding September 2021. They were wonderful through all of the planning stages and at the ceremony and cocktail hour! They always answered emails immediately, were professional and made the entire process stress free. Taska and Magu were punctual, professional, flexible and talented. I received many many compliments from the guests. The violin music added a special and romantic element while being fun because of the song list that we could pick. Can not recommend this company enough. One of the highlights of the day.

Highly recommend PSQ

Philadelphia String Quartet was the perfect addition to our wedding celebration. They created a beautiful and fun environment for our ceremony and Mugu and the team had our guests up and dancing during cocktail hour! They played along with our first dance music and really helped make the moment feel magical. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the musicians were and their amazing song choices. From the start the communication with Laura and Mugu was great and I would highly recommend PSQ to anyone -one wedding guest has already inquired for her own wedding!

Thoughtful and energetic musicians

We had a trio (piano and two violins) for our wedding ceremony, cocktails, and reception. They were so incredibly easy to work with and they added so much energy and life to the festivities!!! I was particularly grateful for the witty and thoughtful decisions they made for us. For example, when we were cutting the cake, they started playing “Cake by the Ocean” which our guests thought was so fun! We so highly recommend PSQ!!

Beyond Excellence

There are no words when the music speaks for itself! Simply incredible, our guests are still complimenting our string quartet. PSQ was so easy to work with throughout the pandemic and all of the changes, played every song we had on our list, and made our special day spectacular. I can’t wait until I have the privilege of being in their audience again. Mugu is so easy to work with and Laura gets back to you right away, making everything seamless. So lucky to have had them be part of our day!
