    A Beautiful Addition to Any Wedding Day

    Camerata String Quartet added a wonderful, personal touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their selection of music was amazing and gave us a lot of options to choose from. We received many compliments from guests about how beautifully they played.

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Allyson! We so enjoyed your music choices from our lists. Best to you both as you begin married life! CSQ

    Amazing amazing amazing!

    Did I mention, Camerata String Quartet is amazing?!? ;) From the start, it was a pleasure working with CSQ for music for our ceremony. My late grandmother was a violinist and I received her violin after she passed away two years ago. I was very close with her and was sad she couldn’t be there for our wedding. However, I literally got the next best thing because Leyla with CSQ agreed to play her violin and the music was absolutely beautiful and felt my grandmother’s presence. Their rendition of “When I Fall in Love” was so amazing and just set the perfect mood. I love this group and will have to hire them again at our anniversary party one day!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Katrina! It was an honor to play the violin and provide music for your beautiful wedding. Best to you both. Leyla CSQ

    An elegant, classic wedding option

    It was wonderful to work with and have Camerata Strings play at our wedding ceremony! We chose to work with Leila after a recommendation from our wedding planner, Brides On A Budget. Leyla was easy to work with and quick to respond. The quartet has a rich library of music ranging from classical pieces to pop music to movie scores.

    For the wedding day, the quartet was well prepared and gave our ceremony and elegant feel to our iconic 1940s vintage theme. We’d highly recommend them for any couple looking to have a string quartet at their wedding or event!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thanks for choosing the CSQ, Katie! We really enjoyed ourselves playing for your wedding on the UW campus. Best to both of you. Leyla CSQ

    Absolutely the best string quartet!

    The Camerata String Quartet was wonderful to work with!
    They are extremely professional and their library of music so extensive. They added so much to our wedding service.
    We had so many positive comments from the people attending on how beautiful the music was. We highly recommend them!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much, Nancy! Your daughter's wedding on 8.27.21 was so elegant and warm. Best to all of you! CSQ

    Wonderful Experience working with them!

    I highly recommend Camerata Strings! It was so great working with them for our wedding. They were very responsive, had a wide selection of music to choose from and were extremely professional. We had to make a last minute change in the key for one of our songs to accommodate a soloist and Leyla and her team were so flexible. Even the soloist said great things about them!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much, Shristi! We really appreciate your kind words and enjoyed playing for you and your guests/family! Best to you both. CSQ

    Everything I wanted.

    Camerata String Quartet played beautifully for us during our wedding. They needed little guidance in making my vision come to life and were flawless in their playing. They were professional and timely throughout the entire process. Highly recommend them for you musical needs!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    This means a lot to us, Eva....especially coming from a violinist! Yours was such a relaxed and happy wedding. Best to you both. CSQ

    Absolutely loved!

    We absolutely loved working with Camerata String Quartet. Layla was very responsive and super helpful in the planning process. They played before our ceremony as guests arrived through the cocktail hour. The music really added to the elegant atmosphere and brought our vision to life. We received so many compliments and I cannot recommend Camerata String Quartet enough!

    Thank you, Mykala, for your very kind endorsement! We so enjoyed our time with you in this new and vibrant venue. Best to you both. CSQ

    Beautiful!

    Leyla, Maureen, Liz, and Amy from Camerata String Quartet are beyond amazing for any type of event! We hired them for our wedding in Door County this past August. We first met them at a wedding expo in January right after getting engaged. We only had our venue booked at this point and were still looking to decide on everything else! The were the best thing to come from that expo, and only vendor who we met there who we actually ended up hiring. From the second they played "Here Comes the Sun" for us we both knew we needed to hire them. My now husband had randomly selected it off of their song list. At this point we hadn't even discussed music yet or any songs for the ceremony. However, when we walked away after meeting them we both turned to each other saying we should hire them and that "Here Comes the Sun" would be the perfect song for me to walk down the aisle to. My only regret on the day of our wedding is that I didn't get to personally hear more of their music! I really only got to enjoy the song I walked down to, the music during the ceremony, and the song we walked out to. And then during the cocktail hour we were too preoccupied thanking everyone for coming that we didn't really take a chance to just listen to the music. So my one suggestion on the day of your wedding or event would be to go over to where the quartet is playing and just listen to 2-3 songs before going back to join your guests. I really wish we would have done that. We would definitely hire Camerata String Quartet again in the future if we ever have an event where we need music!

    Lovely music, professional service

    Camerata strings was great to work with. Communication by email was fast and easy as far as contract and coordination. They handled Covid restrictions and precautions professionally. They sounded great and dealt with a delayed ceremony start smoothly. So glad we hired them for our wedding!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you SO much, Susan! Hope you're both doing well...we have fond memories of your wedding! CSQ

    Beautiful music during unusual times

    We were absolutely thrilled with Camerata Strings' performance during our July 2020 wedding. We significantly altered our wedding plan due to COVID19 and changed from a 180 person indoor wedding to a 70 person outdoor wedding. Communication throughout the process was phenomenal and we appreciated the collaboration on our safety plan. The highlight was a specially prepared arrangement for the bridal processional... it brought tears to everyone's eyes. I would highly recommend booking Camerata Strings.

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Ainsley! Yours was our first wedding performance in 2020 and you really helped us to feel safe moving ahead with outdoor ceremonies. It was a beautiful location. So happy for both of you! CSQ

    Wonderful Addition to Our Ceremony!

    Leyla was so wonderful to work with! We used the Camerata String Quartet for our wedding ceremony on New Years Eve. She is VERY prompt with responding to any questions or information we needed to know. She worked with our officiant to make sure everything ran smoothly during our ceremony. They were so wonderful to have on our big day! Thanks CSQ for making our ceremony so special!

    Beautiful playing!

    We got married at the end of October and had the Camerata String Quartet for the ceremony. Their playing was absolutely beautiful, and we loved how many modern song options they had! We were able to pick out a selection that really nicely captured our personalities, and having them at our ceremony made it so much more fun and personal! Our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without them, and we are so grateful for their amazing playing! We coordinated all of this with Leyla, who was extremely responsive to our emails and helpful in the planning process. We would definitely recommend them as a string quartet for any occasion!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Robert! It was so nice to get to know you both and play music in the Frank Lloyd Wright space. We're glad you liked our work and wish you a great married life! CSQ

    Absolutely perfect!

    I booked Camerata String Quartet about 20 months before my wedding. It was important to me to have them for my ceremony so I started my research early. From day 1, Leyla has been one of my favorite vendors. Her responses to emails are immediate and she is highly organized. She worked and communicated effectively/efficiently not only with me, but also with the church staff. Most importantly, Leyla and the rest of the team are also incredibly talented. Thank you for bringing my ceremony music vision to life. Brides, if you are looking for an organized, ELEGANT, kind and talented group, call Camerata String Quartet!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thanks so much for these kind words, Gyna! We loved playing for you and it was so wonderful to meet and work directly with you. CSQ

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    You can’t go wrong with Camerata Strings! They performed at my wedding this past June and did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend them for anyone interested in having a string quartet at their event. They’re flexible, responsive, extremely professional, and listening to them play will make you shed a tear. Worth every penny.

    Look No Further!

    I wanted live music for our ceremony. I didn't want to use recorded music and worry about the walk down the aisle being timed and having an awkward artificial end, etc. Camerata was a great choice. They were extremely easy to work with. I appreciated how they were so quick to respond to each email and thorough with all my questions. I feel like some vendors don't actually read the entire email, but not the case with them. They followed up with me throughout the planning process. I planned my wedding myself and it was overwhelming. They were on top of it and made their part worry-free for me. I had two new songs that they had to learn and it was no problem at all. We did not have a rehearsal and since I was the bride I could not be there to greet them before the ceremony. We only communicated through email and I had to trust that they would set up and perform the songs as I hoped. And they did. The flower girl took an extra long but cute time to throw petals and they had to adapt and keep the song flowing, which was exactly the reason I wanted live music. I didn't have to worry about anything with Camerata. The planning was easy and the performance was great. Thank you, Camerata!

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Jessica! The weather cooperated, your friends and family were having so much fun and the flower girl was the cutest! We loved playing the music you selected and we're thrilled that you chose CSQ. Best to you both...

    Our ceremony was the heart of the day

    Everyone puts so much effort and planning into the reception but the ceremony truly is the heart of the day. We are so glad we went with the Camerata string quartet-they elevated the ceremony to a level I didn't even know possible! I will never forget the beautiful music and how it made me feel as I walked down the aisle. Before the wedding and during the planning process they were beyond excellent in responsiveness. I could always get ahold of them and that gave me peace of mind for the best day of my life.

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thanks, Tawny! It means a lot to us to know how special our music made you feel at your wedding. We loved playing for you and your family....best to you both! CSQ

    My wife and I utilized this wonderful group for our wedding on 12/31/18. We could not have asked for a better group to play for our wedding. They were timely with their responses leading up to the event. The quality of their music was amazing. We also appreciated their kind and warm remarks after the ceremony had concluded. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a string quartet.

    Amazing! Thank you!

    Camerata Strings was AMAZING!!! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!! I was in contact with Leyla the entire planning process, and she was always so quick to respond and very on top of everything, which helped to ease my mind since we were planning our wedding from across the country. Camerata played the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour - they did an absolutely beautiful job! I received many compliments on the music. Camerata added elegance to our evening and we were so thankful to have them. If you are on fence, don't be! Book them, you won't regret it!! Thanks Camerata! :)

    Camerata String Quartet's reply:

    Thanks, Natalie! This review is AMAZING! Yours was such an elegant wedding with all the candles and the sparkling guests! We also loved playing for the many children in attendance. Best to you both as you begin married life! Happy New Year... CSQ

    Camerata Winter Wedding

    Camerata String Quartet exceeded our expectations! We were highly impressed with the Quartet's website. Camerata offers a very wide variety of music from classic to contemporary. From the start, Leyla was very professional and a joy to work with. She was extremely responsive to our emails and made communication a breeze.
    Camerata's music was the perfect complement to our elegant, romantic winter wedding. They played beautiful music for our ceremony, first dances and throughout dinner.
    Our guests raved about Camerata and we received so many compliments!
    Can't recommend enough!

    Amazing Music Experience!

    Camerata String Quartet provided gorgeous music for my daughter's Catholic Mass wedding in Madison. Leyla went out of her way to communicate with the church music director and my daughter as they worked through the music selection. Very professional! And extremely talented.

    The Camerata String Quartet was wonderful! My husband and I were blown away by how beautiful the music for our wedding ceremony was. Not only was the music incredible, but Leyla was a joy to work with. She was so helpful during the planning stages of the ceremony music and she worked well coordinating with our church music director. She understood our music vision and was incredibly professional in advocating for us when difficulties arose with the ceremony venue. Camerata Strings learned how to play an incredible version of "Rewrite the Stars" for our recessional song and it was one of the most special and personal touches of our wedding day! Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us and being part of making our day perfect!
