Elegant, Classy, Romantic, and so much Fun!

Quartessence Strings played for our wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour. They made my wedding dream come true. The live music helped to make our wedding elegant, classy, romantic, and so much fun. Many guests and my groom and I really enjoyed the beauty and diversity of the music performed professionally and flawlessly by Quartessence. Erin and Laura were both great to work with in the planning stages. I highly recommend them!

Beautiful music and amazing people!

We met with Laura for our consultation and she was amazing!!! She helped create the music line-up for our ceremony and changed a song if we didn't want one included. The music during the ceremony was absolutely amazing and our guests commented on how elegant they sounded and made our venue feel! Totally recommend!

Definitely Recommend!

Quartessence was easy to work with and our guests enjoyed their music during our ceremony. We chose songs from their existing repertoire, and there were plenty of beautiful songs to choose from that fit the atmosphere we were going for. We definitely recommend Quartessence to couples looking for string music during their wedding!
