    Flawless and Beautiful Wedding Music

    The quartet played during the wedding ceremony and then during the cocktail hour before the reception. The wedding music made the ceremony angelic and the reception guests listened in awe as the quartet played in our conservatory. I can't think of a better way to orchestrate a wedding or set a classical tone to a reception. Thanks to the entire quartet for making our celebration perfect!

    Very helpful and great song choices.

    Very pleasant to work with and fun song options. Our venue or guest count may have been to large to enjoy all the music.

    Appassionata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much for the great review, Brooke! The string quartet was the perfect vibe for your ceremony music. Cocktail hour was just a bit loud and hard to hear. :) I'm glad you and your guests enjoyed our music.

    The Surprise of a Lifetime!

    I really wanted strings at our wedding last year, but my wife shot the idea down as it “wasn’t in the budget”. Little did I know she had booked Appassionata already. I was so stunned and their music was amazing. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Appassionata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you for the 5 star review, Jake! It was SO fun surprising you with a string trio for your ceremony music. It was really special and memorable!! Congrats and happy 1 year anniversary!

    Elegant, Classical Music for a Formal Wedding Ceremony

    Joy Deminski and her fellow musicians added a beautiful touch to our wedding. They played classical and modern pieces. We chose a four-piece group and the sound was magical. I would highly recommend this ensemble for a wedding or other special occasion.

    Appassionata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you for the glowing review, Beth! We are so glad you enjoyed our music and the magical atmosphere we could help create.

    Amazing! Great experience!

    We hired Appassionata for our ceremony and they were amazing! It was beautiful to have as guests arrived and they did an amazing job with the song selection we requested for the processional and recessional! They were such a pleasure to work with and so accommodating! We had requested a song that wasn’t in their repertoire and they were more than happy to add it and play it! I even rearranged song selections last minute and they were so nice and it was no problem! We would definitely work with them again and would 100% recommend them!

    I called rather last minute to request prelude music for my son's outdoor wedding and the result was absolutely beautiful!!

    I cannot rave enough about the music that was provided for our wedding guests before my son's wedding last Saturday! It not only provided enjoyment for all the guests listening, but it raised our wedding to another level! I did not have to search endlessly for the right music as the talented violinist new exactly what to play! Many guests commented how wonderful it was to have a violinist as talented as Joy!
    Thank you, Joy!!

    Appassionata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much Sherry! It was an honor to be a small part of your family's special day!! I'm so glad the guests enjoyed the music.

    Absolutely Beautiful!

    The Appassionata String Quartet played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music made our intimate ceremony better than anything we could have imagined! They helped us to navigate through changing dates due to COVID and were very responsive to emails!

    Beautiful choice for our wedding day

    We had the best experience with Appassionata String Quartet! They had a wide range of music to choose from and were able to accommodate our selections. They sounded amazing and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding ceremony. We are so thankful for the part they played in our special day!

    Appassionata played for my son's wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Joy D. was a delight to work with. Always prompt with responses to my inquiries and the music was great. I was uncertain about hiring a quartet through the internet but Appassionata met all my expectations and laid to rest any concerns. Price was very reasonable and well worth it. Highly recommend this group for their professionalism and friendliness.

    Joy and her team are so incredibly talented, Joy was a pleasure to work with from the moment we booked her up until the big day. She was very responsive to all of our emails and worked hard to find music sheets for songs that we found on own and wanted played at our wedding. The music the was beautiful and provided such a special touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. We had so many compliments from all of our friends and family about how beautiful the music was that Joy and her team put out.

    We loved working with Appassionata String Quartet and using them to provide ceremony and cocktail music for our wedding. Joy and her team were responsive, accommodating, and excellent musicians. The music was a great mix of traditional and modern and all pieces were played beautifully! We would highly recommend that any bride and groom work with Appassionata for their wedding!

    It was such a pleasure working with Joy to book our ceremony music. She was very kind and easy to communicate with through email. All of her information was very detailed regarding their services and music choices. She even went out of her way to send us some examples of different songs to make sure we picked the sound which would be the best fit for us. The music was very nice at our wedding, and it really added to our ceremony! Thank you so much!

    Joy was wonderful to work with! I had a specific song I wanted for the ceremony and she was able to accommodate my date, and the music was perfect. I would highly suggest using Appassionata String Quartet if you are looking for professional service and beautiful music.

    Appassionata Quartet played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we couldn't have been happier. They were so easy to work with, and had a list of songs to make the selection process easier. I only wish we could have heard them play more!

    We absolutely loved having Appassionata String trio at our wedding! The trio played while our guests arrived and during our ceremony. We live out of the state so all of my communication was completed through email with Joy. They showed up to our rural location on time and played beautifully during the ceremony!

    Appassionata provided the music for my son Sean and his wife Tracy's ceremony and it was beautiful! The next month at my 60th birthday party my boyfriend proposed - a total surprise to me…..and everyone else as he told no one…isn't he wonderful! Fast forward to planning OUR wedding and I knew that I wanted Appassionata to play at our wedding ceremony. Joy was so helpful planning the music selections. When I heard the music playing as I was walking closer to the ceremony (my daughter was by my side, as my matron of honor, before my brother took her place) it made me cry happy tears. Our theme was the "Best Day Ever" and with Appassionata string trio playing beautiful music for our ceremony it really WAS the Best Day Ever!!!

    Appassionata provided a String Trio for my pre-ceremony and ceremony music. They were absolutely wonderful! I was a bride that planned everything just to make sure that nothing went wrong, but on my wedding day, we had a MAJOR set back in the bridal suite which caused a significant delay in the start of the ceremony. Instead of leaving at the time I booked them for, they stayed and played until everything was over. The intro music for me to walk down the aisle was so exceptionally beautiful that I couldn't stop crying. They are just amazing! I really appreciate that they stayed the entire time instead of leaving! They added the extra elements to make my wedding incredible!

    If you are need music for your wedding or next event, please, look no further! They are true professionals and will give you everything you ask for and more!!!

    A a duo play at our ceremony. They were perfect! Best of all is that they came and set up and did not SEEK US OUT for our final payment. I had my dad bring them the check and it was fine. Beautiful music, and highly recommend.

    Appassionata String Quartet was such a great addition to our wedding. From the moment guests arrived to be seated at our wedding, you could hear beautiful music which really set the tone (an elegant one I might add) for our wedding. Working with Joy from Appassionata was a breeze. They have a WIDE selection of music to chose from. We did our best in making choices and then sent them to Joy. Being much more intimately familiar with the music selections, Joy ably guided us to better suited song selections. Sure enough, when I would compare her song selection with ours, she was always right. Also, Appassionata's pricing is incredibly reasonable. I reached out to several companies before settling on Appassionata (who was recommended to us by our vendor as they had recently performed at a wedding for a groom who himself was a professional classical musician), but went with Appassionata because they were very reasonable, responsive and had already come highly recommended. You will not be disappointed if you chose Appassionata Quartet!

    I cannot say enough good things about Appassionata playing at our wedding. It was really easy to work with Joy to set up what music we would like them to play for the different portions of the ceremony. She sent us a list of common choices, but was willing to learn new music upon request. We chose the string trio and they sounded absolutely amazing!! They arrived promptly and were very professional. They were even willing to stay extra as the ceremony ran a little late. We thought their price was very reasonable for the quality of their performance. We would highly recommend them!

    Appassionata was a great vendor to work with. When I first called Appassionata's number, I spoke to Joy, who was my contact throughout the planning process. She was extremely friendly and helpful at all points along the way. She helped us decide how many strings we wanted/needed for our ceremony and gave us a very reasonable price (I called many others and her price was the most affordable) for a string trio. They have a large repertoire and Joy sent us plenty of music to choose from. She contacted us the day before our wedding when the weathermen were calling for 100 degree weather and were flexible, despite the impending heat, regarding where they would be placed for our outdoor ceremony. Our guests very much enjoyed Appassionata's music before and during our ceremony. Appassionata was a wonderful vendor and we would recommend them to any bride looking for beautiful ceremony music!
