Our Wedding Ceremony & Reception 8/24/2024

The Vancouver String Quartet helped make our Wedding Ceremony & Reception a most magically elegant and memorable event! We hired the Quartet for the entire event and they were beyond "Fantastic!", exceeding our expectations. Some words our guests used to describe our event and the Quartet were "Classically Elegant, Magical, Most Memorable, Classic & Stunning, Awesome, "An Experience everyone will remember", "A most elegant affair that everyone will cherish and remember always" ...
Some guests even asked if the Quartet had CD's of their music they could purchase as they didn't want want it to end! Alistar Leon Kok was most gracious and accommodating with any and all requests we had leading up to and during our event. What a pleasure to work with him. My husband and I were sold on the idea the moment we heard a few of their music clips online and then speaking with Alistar. We would highly recommend the Vancouver Quartet for anyone seeking a musical experience they will cherish as well never forget. We are already in the process of booking with them again for an annual holiday party (Piano & Violin Duet) we will entertain at our home this year.
We cannot thank them enough for creating the most Magically Elegant Event for our wedding, reception and guests. The event will live in our hearts forever and the music will play in our minds for eternity. We cannot Thank you enough Vancouver Quartet, we are so very thrilled to work with you again in a few months!

Best Regards,
Greg & Kirk

Exceptional talent!

VSQ added beauty and entertainment to our special day. They are exceptional at their craft and are incredibly captivating. We were honored to have them play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music catalog is huge like their talent! We highly recommend them. Family and friends truly enjoyed it and said “it gave Bridgerton vibes and we loved it”!
