Just stop looking and book with Julie now! Rivendell’s talent, professionalism, ease of scheduling, and value really are 5-star worthy. They were such a gracious, beautiful addition to our daughter’s wedding day!

The Rivendell String Quartet

Julie Morrison could not have been more helpful in selecting music that made a beautiful backdrop for the wedding. The group was extremely professional. They were all so talented. They were also so very easy to work with.

Perfect Choice

I have used Rivendell twice. Nine years ago for my daughters wedding and this month for my sons. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

They are very professional, patient and kind. They are prompt and set themselves up in a calm and quiet manner. Other things may go crazy, but your ceremony/cocktail hour music will not be one of those things.

I did not get to hear much of the cocktail hour music but we received many compliments on Rivendells performance. And the ceremony music was perfect.

I recommend hiring locally to prevent travel emergencies.
The Rivendell quartet puts the finishing touches on your special day. You won’t regret including them.

Wonderful experience with Rivendell

Working with Julie was so easy and pleasant. She shared their playlist and worked with us as we developed our song selections. The quartet arrived promptly at the ceremony and played beautifully during our entire agreed upon time without extended breaks. The quality of the music and the professionalism were top notch. They are an easy recommendation.

One of the BEST parts of our wedding

I can’t say enough about Julie and the Rivendell String Quartet! From the time I first spoke to them to the moment I walked down the isle… they were absolutely amazing!! All of my guest raved about them as well. They were one of the most memorable and best parts of our wedding. I highly recommend them and would use them again. Julie even sent us a letter congratulating us and thanking us for allowing them to be part of our special day.

Rivendell was outstanding!

Julie and the Rivendell String Quartet were wonderful at our wedding last month. The music for our ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful, and Julie was extremely polite and helpful to work with. We would definitely recommend them for weddings/events in Memphis!

Responsive and Professional, BEAUTIFUL Sound!

Julie, was an absolute pleasure to work with and was very detail oriented and professional. She and her husband talked us through all the great options for timing and song suggestions. The music walking down the aisle will be something I will never forget. The quartet set the perfect tone for that night.

Superb! Look no further!

Rivendell String Quartet provided the music for my daughte’rs wedding, cocktail hour and the two hours of the wedding brunch reception at Annesdale mansion. My husband was in the top 20 violinists in the state of Texas in high school and describes the quartet as “absolute consummate professionals” (as one would expect from musicians that play in the symphony)! The music was gorgeous, Julie was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t have been more pleased (and we’re pretty particular)! Julie was extremely helpful, took initiative to contact me when there were decisions to be made and made everything extremely easy and stress-free. I felt I didn’t need to worry a bit with her in charge of music and I was absolutely right!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
