    We highly recommend Cherry Blossom String Quartet!

    We are so glad we chose the Cherry Blossom String Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony! The music was so beautiful, and it added such a nice touch of elegance to our day. April was very accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process. We wanted the groom to process down the aisle to his own song (Maria from West Side Story), and April helped us figure out how to fit this into the processional in a way that flowed well. CBSQ also accompanied a couple vocalists to perform a song during the ceremony, and it was absolutely beautiful and touching, and one of my favorite moments from the day. We highly recommend the Cherry Blossom String Quartet!

    Incredibly talented musicians with impressive repertoire!

    We hired Cherry Blossom String Quartet and they were amazing! They were very responsive and organized leading up to our event. They have an extensive library of songs and played all of our requests beautifully! It made our evening so special to have them playing and I recommend them completely!

    Definitely book CBSQ!!

    The Cherry Blossom String Quartet was incredible and I would highly recommend them. They had the most extensive repertoire of songs to choose from that I found, were super easy to work with, and even helped me get a song composed so they could play it for me to walk down the aisle. I loved having them as a part of my wedding day and thought they made our day even more special. They are true professionals and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

    Great repertoire and custom piece!

    My husband and I really wanted to have some live music at our wedding, but didn’t want to go with a full band all night. We had been to a friends’ wedding that had a jazz trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour and had really enjoyed the warm ambiance it helped create to have musicians there at the start of the evening. So, we started looking into string quartets.

    Cherry Blossom String Quartet stood out to us because of their incredibly large and varied repertoire (and the high quality sound files they had on their website for us to listen to). We were able to choose songs from movie scores and video games for before the ceremony (to welcome guests) and then a fun mix of pop music covers and jazzy or motown classics during the cocktail hour. One wedding guest who is a professional violist complemented the quality of the music!

    We had a very particular song that we wanted as our processional that was not in their repertoire. Cherry Blossom worked with a composer to arrange the piece custom for us and it was so well done it really made the ceremony extra special.

    Not only did they have a great selection of music played to high quality, but they were also very easy to work with and comparable in price to other options that we looked into. All in all, a wonderful experience!

    Elegant Touch to our Daughter's Wedding

    We are so thrilled we were fortunate to have them at our daughter's wedding. We hired CBSQ to play before our ceremony, for the processional/recessional, and for the cocktail hour. From 1st to last interaction, they were consummate professionals. They had wonderful ideas and selections to choose from, and we particularly loved that we could have more traditional music for the ceremony, and more contemporary songs for the cocktail hour. They were so talented and guests noted what an extra wonderful touch they gave the day. Highly recommend!!

    Beautiful Addition to you Special Day!

    Professional and timely, CBSQ was an excellent addition to our outdoor garden wedding. If you can book, please do, you won't regret having live strings on your special day. It got a bit hot for my ceremony, and they wore all black so I'm sure they were toasty, but they still did an amazing job improvising when our order of ceremony didn't quite go according to plan:) They also do modern music, which is a cute touch. I will always remember hearing them play as I walked down the aisle. Thank you CBSQ!!!

    Must book!

    What a beautiful addition to our small October ceremony. The quartet did a wonderful job weaving together an eclectic choice of music for our ceremony and it was the perfect elegant touch to the day. Erin was extremely responsive and professional throughout our correspondence as well!

    Awesome strings trio package!

    I could not be happier with the Cherry Blossom String Quartet group for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. I opted for the strings trip package and they were lovely. Anna was prompt with responses and everything went very smoothly. Thank you!

    We hired Cherry Blossom String Quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour at Airlie, VA. They were absolutely amazing! The music was so beautiful and Sinbat was so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. They have such an extensive repertoire that most songs you might want to choose from, both popular and classical, they already have an arrangement for. I had always wanted to include Can't Help Falling in Love as part of our ceremony and their arrangement was perfect and made the ceremony so special!!

    We hired Cherry Blossom SQ for outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor cocktail hour music for our wedding on 3/31/2018 in Fort Belvoir. They are very talented and did a wonderful job. Everything went smoothly and our guests were impressed with CBSQ's performance. I highly recommend CBSQ!

    Erin and Cherry Blossom String Quartet played the ceremony music at my wedding. It was flawless. I remember hearing the song they arranged for the bridal party processional and it brought tears to my eyes. I cannot wait to hear every song again on my wedding video. Erin gave me a lot of attention and dealt with all of m questions and concerns efficiently. The communication was great. They arranged a song to play for us. It was the song my husband proposed to me during and he told me he had tears in his eyes when he heard it playing as he walked down the aisle. I HIGHLY recommend Erin and Cherry Blossom String Quartet. Thank you for everything!

    Cherry Blossom String Quartet provided beautiful music for our ceremony as well as our cocktail hour. They are responsive and easy to work with. CBSQ has a website which showcases the variety of material they are able to play. CBSQ is professional and very experienced. They offer recommendations for every aspect of the ceremony/cocktail hour, however, are flexible and willing to accommodate your requests. They created a warm and inviting ceremony and cocktail hour for us and our guests to enjoy! Thank you CBSQ!

    CBSQ did an awesome job with our wedding! They were extremely easy to deal with and Erin is exceptionally responsive! She always responded to my questions faster than I could come up with them, which gave me great ease that my wedding day would be in good hands. Although I didn't really have time to listen to them (very sad about that) I have heard they were really good, and I can't wait to see footage from our videographer so we can hear them play!

    Excellent string quartet. Erin was incredibly easy to get in touch with and was quick to reply with suggestions/advice:) The planning process was very easy and all of the communication was via email and phone...very easy for a busy bride. Excellent variety of song choices. We had lots of compliments on our song choice as we walked out of the gardens as husband and wife (Coldplay "Clocks"). The ceremony music was amazing and we received compliments from guests for the variety of music played during the cocktail hour. Highly Recommend:)

    Lovely music for our wedding day

    Cherry Blossom did a great job playing at our ceremony and cocktail hour. I really enjoyed their repertoire, and it was so special that they learned a song for me to walk down the aisle. Their music added a beautiful touch to the day, and we appreciated having them as part of our wedding!

    Highly recommend!

    Highly recommend! Booking with CBSQ was easy because they were quick to respond, transparent with their prices and services, and answered all of our questions, which ranged from will they need mics (they don’t) to how does the flow of this song to that song sound? CBSQ had us fill out a brief questionnaire and provided us with lists of their repertoire, which allowed us to either choose each individual song we wanted played or feel comfortable knowing what sort of songs they would play under a category and just go with the category. We did a mix of the former and latter. Their website has many samples of them playing different songs, which was very helpful for choosing individual songs. On the day of our 70 person outdoor wedding, the quartet arrived promptly and looking dapper and didn’t miss a single cue. The classical ceremony music greeted the guests and seamlessly flowed into our chosen processional and recessional songs. The pop cocktail music provided an upbeat backdrop to the guests’ chatter. Overall, a terrific job and many thanks for sticking it out in the DC summer heat!

    Perfect Addition to our Day!

    CBSQ is incredibly talented and so easy to work with! April was very responsive with all my questions leading up to the big day, and their planning document made it very easy to organize and choose all our music. So many of our guests commented about how amazing the quartet was and how their presence elevated the whole mood of our ceremony and cocktail hour. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to add live music to their wedding day!

    Beautiful Music

    Kristen and her team are incredibly professional, flexible, reliable and responsive. They were able to tailor a duo/quartet ensemble for our wedding at very fair rate for the high quality music and service that they delivered. Played beautiful music from a diverse repertoire, including Chinese music for our tea ceremony. Actually followed our songs lists. I highly recommend and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Our Favorite Vendor!

    CBSQ went above and beyond for our intimate wedding ceremony, including calmly working with us day of when the city forgot to block off their reserved parking, as well as being kind and responsive throughout our planning. By far the highlight, though, was the cellist performing alongside my husband’s best childhood friend in a Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper duet… our favorite special touch of the day and a stellar performance. Our guests adored the music selection of CBSQ and we continue to get rave reviews. Cannot recommend CBSQ highly enough, and would give them six stars if we could.

    Perfect highlight of the night!

    Having Cherry Blossom Strings perform at our wedding was a true highlight of the night! Our guests kept mentioning how wonderful their performance was and how it created such an elevated ambiance for our wedding! We appreciated how perfect their performance was and it was easy to recognize the skill and care they took with their craft. Hearing their warm up truly made it all sink in and I started to tear up! Their repertoire covered all our favorite pieces and several we hadn’t even thought of. They switched between songs with ease during our processional and cocktail hour and set the tone for the evening. They were very communicative, professional, and the process of selecting songs was seamless. They made a magical night even more special and we are forever grateful that we had the privilege to enjoy their quartet.

    CBSQ did an amazing job with my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were able to provide planning recommendations in order to ensure that the songs matched timing, etc. They were responsive and professional from the minute we inquired about availability. Their repertoire is extensive and they're willing to learn new songs (at a cost) in order for you to personalize your wedding as needed. It was so much fun playing classical music leading up to the ceremony, and walking back down the aisle to Don't Stop Believing. I cannot say enough good things about CBSQ!!
