An amazing experience!

I am so happy to have had Quartet442 play for our wedding ceremony! Elise was wonderful to work with. She made sure to coordinate with me and my wedding coordinator in order to ensure the day went smoothly. The quartet’s music selection is impressively broad, spanning from timeless classics to modern pop and rock. Their performance was beautiful, and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Highly recommend!

Great quartet!

Quartet442 was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! They played at our wedding in Fall 2024. Elise was easy to communicate with and always responsive to our questions.

On the day of, the group played beautifully during both our ceremony and part of cocktail hour. Their music selection was great, and they had a mix of classical and modern which was what we were looking for. The group was timely and we had no issues. I only wish I could have enjoyed their playing more, a bit busy getting married I suppose. I highly recommend them to any couple!

Highly recommend Quartet442

I simply can’t recommend Quartet422 enough. Elise, was easy to work with guiding us through their extensive list of classic and pop music. They were even able to adapt the hip hop song ‘Lose Yourself’ by Eminem - groom’s request for his entrance. It was a guest favorite! We received many compliments for the quartet with one guest requesting them for her wedding.

Perfect Soundtrack to a Perfect Day!

We had Quartet 442 play at our wedding and could not have been happier! Elise was great to work with. Very good communication and thorough, Elise made sure every detail was perfectly planned. We had several specific requests for various aspects of the wedding and they made sure everything happened beautifully. So many guests commented on how great they were. I highly recommend having Quartet 442 give your wedding (or event) a unique and memorable touch!

We highly recommend Quartet442!

I was recommended Quartet442 by my partial wedding planner and I am so happy we decided to go with them. Elise was really approachable and we discussed the itinerary of our wedding day before our wedding. It was nice as they have a vast selection of songs - from classical to current song choices. Our wedding day was amazing. Our guests loved the string quartet and it sounded much more beautiful when you hear the quartet in person! We would highly recommend working with Quartet442! You won't regret it and it will be memories that will last you a lifetime.

Quartet442 was absolutely wonderful to work with. Elise was responsive and very professional throughout the whole experience. We had them play for out brunch wedding for both ceremony and reception and multiple attendees stopped us to say how much they liked the music. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for strings

Wow!! Nothing but great things to say! The quartet arrived early and started playing early due to guests arrival time. Everyone loved the live music and how amazing they sounded!! In all seriousness, my guests raved about the music and how great it was opposed to a recording or a single musician. Elise, was great to work with and made sure every detail was perfect. Highly would recommend for anyone looking for a string quartet!!

Elise and the rest of her quartet made our day so special. We are both big classical music fans and amateur classical music musicians (the bride having played in a few quartet weddings herself) so were very picky about who would be playing and what they would play. We gave them some very challenging selections , which they played absolutely beautifully, quite literally bringing people to tears. (One of our guests told me that specifically....)

I also commissioned them to arrange a somewhat obscure indie rock song for our recessional--the original arrangement of which includes some strange instrumentation to wrestle with, including a horn section and a saw.... Not only did they do an absolutely perfect job of it, but they did so in a way that captured the uplifting mood that we wanted for our recessional, which was not an easy task!

Throughout the whole process, Elise was communicative, engaged, and enthusiastic and was able to give us expert guidance in our selections and on timing.

These guys are all incredibly talented and unbelievably reasonably priced and they also are capable of arranging just about anything in a way that can transform the entire day.

We were impressed and are so grateful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
