Hire The Delmonico String Quartet!

Hire these wonderful musicians! Delmonico Strings performed at our outdoor wedding ceremony at Lake Ontario last weekend. Even with the waves crashing, their acoustics were excellent, and the music complemented our outdoor ceremony beautifully. Elena was so kind, enthusiastic, and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. The team remained flexible, even when we made a few last-minute changes. They are incredibly talented and open to learning new music or playing from their own extensive repertoire. If you are looking to elevate your wedding or next big event, we wholeheartedly recommend their services! You will be thrilled!

June wedding in Naples, NY

The best!! John, Elena, and Chris of the Delmonico Quartet performed at our outdoor ceremony at a small winery in Naples, NY a few weeks ago. They did an amazing job and our guests loved their rendition of "Night Changes" by One Direction : ) They were so easy to communicate with, very collaborative and open to whatever we wanted, and I doubt there's any song they couldn't learn. Their pricing is very reasonable and they are true professionals. 10 out of 10.

Absolutely beautiful!

I hired the string trio for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they played so beautifully, all my guests were complimenting how wonderful they were. They also played my song requests, which made it even more special. Despite the wind, everyone could clearly hear them play!

Fabulous wedding ceremony music

Very impressed with Delmonico Strings! They did a fabulous job with the music at an outdoor venue (Lake House in Canandaigua) on a VERY hot day in July. They were very flexible and easy to work with for music choices.

2025 wedding

We hired a piano player and violinist for our wedding, and they were amazing! The music was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our ceremony. They even learned a few new songs just for us, which meant so much (and they nailed it). They were professional, easy to work with, and truly talented. Definitely worth the money and their prices were very reasonable. We received so many compliments from our guests as well. Highly recommend!

Unmatched Ambiance

They were so incredible to work with, asking us what we want to hear (they already knew many of the songs we requested) and offering to learn many others. They sounded amazing and creating such a beautiful backdrop to our ceremony and cocktail hour. I received rave reviews from all of our guests. I would not hesitate to book them!

Incredible touch

Working with The Delmonico String Quartet was amazing. From the beginning, they were responsive, listened to our needs, easy to work with, and willing to make changes to make it fit our budget. We discussed songs we'd like, and they were willing to learn a new one that was important to us. They were on time, and as I walked down the aisle, the setting was beautiful, and the music made it perfect. They even played Elvis, as it's a favorite for many of us. Everyone enjoyed them at our cocktail hour, as well. We highly recommend them; we were very pleased.

Absolutely amazing!

We hired the Delmonico String Quartet for of July wedding. We had them play at our ceremony and cocktail hour and I cannot say enough great things about everything they did. They were professional and communicative throughout the entire process. Our guests loved the music and I received so many compliments about how beautiful it was. They have a portfolio of classic songs and modern songs that cater to a variety of interests. Beyond that, they were overall so genuinely kind! We would definitely recommend them for any upcoming event you may have!
