    Amazing string quartet

    We hired Cloud Gate to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were professional and talented, and our guests raved about them. Their repertoire is very expansive - you can request songs from all different genres, including pop, rock, musical numbers, and of course classical music. They always responded quickly to communication and their online forms made the process straightforward. Would highly recommend!

    Cloud Gate is a must!!

    We were so happy to find Cloud Gate to perform at our wedding. One of the things that we were really impressed with was their huge song selection! They have such a wide variety of genres of music that it was really hard to narrow down which ones we wanted them to play. Ross was great to work with and was very responsive to our emails. Having a string quartet created such a romantic vibe and our guests really enjoyed it. We were very happy with them and would definitely recommend them to anyone. You won’t be sorry!

    Raving complements on our wedding day!

    My wife Jenny and I together with our guests loved the performance of the Cloud Gate String Quartet in our wedding at Odyssey Lake Michigan last July 14th. We were both lucky to be with them during the cocktail hour and reception which made our big day very elegant and romantic. Though we have booked them just two weeks before the event, Ross and the quartet were able to accommodate our requests to play in addition to the classical and modern pieces but also the a well-known Filipino piece entitled "Ikaw at Ako" (You and I) with raving complements from our guests.

    Excellent string quartet!!

    What else can I say except this is a top notch string quartet. They were responsive right from the get go and were able to accommodate all of our requests. We had some late changes to the musical set (by late we are talking about the day before) and they absolutely nailed it. To top it off, they didn't flinch at playing a three hour set for us which I don't believe is common. All of our guests commented on how great they sounded...which let me know I made the correct choice with this group. I highly recommend them for any event where you want to take it up notch in classiness.

    Above and beyond!

    WOW...what an amazing group! We had Cloud Gate play pre-post wedding ceremony and we could not be happier! They were such a talented and professional group and they made my day one to remember! So many people at my wedding had so many great things to say about their music! The planning process was very easy with Ross and their music selection was huge!! Would rebook in a heartbeat!

    We absolutely loved Cloud Gate Quartet! We had a trio play at our wedding on June 30th 2018. They are such amazing musicians. I can't speak highly of them enough! Ross was so helpful and responsive with emails. He the process so easy. The day of the wedding I was blown away of how eloquently the musicians played for our ceremony. They are very talented. I would definitely choose them every time!

    Wonderful string trio

    We hired Cloud Gate to play as people arrived and through the ceremony. We chose to do the trio as it fit into our budget better, however the sound was still full and lovely! We picked out songs for them to play as guests arrived, as well as the processional songs! They were really great to work with and the music was beautiful!

    Nothing but compliments

    They were on time, and absolutely incredible musicians. Ross Tesorio was our contact and handled arrangements perfectly. Our large wedding gathering sought me out to compliment them time and time again. Definitely gave the reception the class we were looking for. 100 stars.

    Excellent String Quartet

    Cloudgate String Quartet did a tremendous job taking our ceremony music to the next level. They arrived early and were very accommodating with the outdoor setup we had for them. They played all of the songs we requested and really help set the tone for a wonderful day. If you are in need of a string quartet that will add some class and flair above and beyond the usual pre-recorded music you often hear at a wedding ceremony, hire this group with confidence. They played beautifully and we will be recommending them to all of our friends and family going forward.

    Outdoor Wedding

    We are so pleased with the quality and selection of music the quartet player for our daughter’s wedding at Butterfield Country Club. The quartet played outdoors for the ceremony and then for the cocktail reception. We have received so many compliments from our guests. We had a mix of classical and contemporary music selections and the performance was flawless. What a nice group of musicians and thank you Ross at Cloud Gate for making our wedding reception a huge success!

    The music was absolutely beautiful. They were prompt, professional, and even learned a new song that we requested. They were reasonably priced as well. Definitely recommend!

    Incredible music, highly professional.

    I would highly recommend Cloud Gate! They were incredibly easy to work with. In terms of the quality of the music, Cloud Gate are excellent musicians, a head above what I've heard at any other wedding (and I've been to a lot!) They really created the perfect, romantic atmosphere during the ceremony and cocktail hour. All my friends commented on the beautiful music -- truly unforgettable.

    Set the tone for our Big Day.

    Cloud Gate is a great choice to set the tone for your day whether you want to be more traditional or go non-traditional as we did. Our day was a music extravaganza (music was a main theme) with 3 musical acts. Although they do play classical music, by request, Cloud Gate started us off with a variety of pop songs on strings for our ceremony. Our crowd loved the mix of traditional strings with current hits. We had a tricky order for the ceremony in that the group had to break for me to sing with a track that my DJ played, and follow my song with an entrance song that they played. The quartet did not miss a beat and we would recommend them. Watch your timing, if you go over for whatever reason, there is a charge.

    Talented and Dependable

    Cloud Gate was fantastic to work with. When I initially couldn't afford them they responded with an alternative approach to meet my budget, which very rarely happens in the wedding vendor space. They played beautifully (and I come from a family of musicians so the standards were very high). I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them.

    The quartet provided such a beautiful musical score for our wedding. We loved them. Our guests loved them. Received so many compliments from friends and family alike. Easy and responsive booking. Arrived on time and ready to perform. Very flexible with our requests for songs and even blended with the organ and choir in spots. If you would like to take your ceremony beyond the usual, I would give them my strongest recommendation.

    The quartet was perfect. Leading up to the wedding, all questions or comments that I had were handled extremely fast. For the day of, the quartet was early and set up in plenty of time. And, the music was absolutely beautiful! Thanks for helping make our day so awesome.
