Amazing String Quartet

Highly recommend! We used SMT Music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were amazing to deal with from the beginning. Very easy to coordinate with and plan which songs we wanted for when. We had so many wedding guests come up and tell us how lovely they were.

Roberts Wedding 4/5/25

As the lead planner for Savannah and Kadison’s wedding, I had the pleasure of working with SMT for their ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment guests arrived, SMT set the tone for an elegant, romantic, and timeless celebration. Their musicality, professionalism, and presence elevated the entire experience.

They were easy to coordinate with, punctual, and came prepared with a well-curated selection that perfectly fit the couple’s vision. The ceremony music was seamless and emotional, creating a beautiful atmosphere for the most meaningful part of the day. During cocktail hour, guests continued to compliment the live music and the touch of sophistication it added.

If you’re looking for a quartet that will not only deliver musically but also provide an elevated, luxury experience for your event, SMT is an excellent choice. We can’t wait to work with them again!

Excellent!

SMT Music played at my wedding in June and they were amazing. They offer an extensive list of songs and also offer the option to learn songs not on that list for a small fee. They were prompt in responding and executed our wishes perfectly on the big day. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a quartet for their wedding.

SMT Music - Extremely Helpful

Steve was incredible at sourcing the exact jazz music we needed for our event. He worked with me to identify the preferred sound/vibe and delivered exactly what we asked for. He went out of his way to conduct a site visit when I couldn't do it myself and allowed for an extremely smooth execution of everything from start to finish. Couldn't recommend someone more! Thanks Steve.
