    Excellent in every way


    Ovation String Quartet played for our wedding. They were easy to work with, flexible, responsive and professional. The performance was exactly as we imagined it.

    Amazing huge music selection

    Very professional and a huge music selection. I only wish I had hired them for longer because the music was absolutely beautiful. Thank you:)

    Thank you, Karina! We were honored to play for your beautiful wedding. All the best to you. - Laurie

    Breathtaking music, lovely to work with

    We were blown away by the amazing job that Ovation did at our wedding. We had to reschedule our wedding 2x due to COVID, so we had a lot of time to decide on music! Laurie was super responsive and went above and beyond to compose several custom arrangements for our pre-wedding music. She and her team also composed Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen for my bridal processional, which was absolutely magical and everything I dreamed of when I walked down the aisle. Highly recommend for any event if you are looking for talented musicians who are able to take your special day to the next level!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Jennifer,
    Thank you so much for writing this wonderful review. I was so happy that the weather was beautiful for you after you waited SO long! The new music that we added for your wedding was the least that we could do. In particular, I look forward to play "Somewhere Only We Know" many other times! All the best to you. - Laurie

    Amazing String Quartet

    We had a great experience with Ovation String Quartet! The quartet performed beautifully at our wedding ceremony even in extreme winds! Laurie was very responsive, helpful, organized, and supportive throughout the planning process. They have an extensive and amazing selection of music in their repertoire. We are so happy we chose Ovation String Quartet and cannot recommend them enough!

    Ovation String Quartet will be a Memory of Our Wedding that I Cherish Forever

    Laurie and the rest of Ovation String Quartet were a joy to work with. They were extremely accommodating and kind when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. When our amended wedding date finally arrived, our guests very much enjoyed the wide range of music that they offered, from the traditional wedding march to the Beatles to the White Stripes; and they worked with us to select music that was a reflection of my husband and I.

    A memory I will never forget is during the hustle and bustle of the cake cutting they cued up "Grow Old With You" from the movie the Wedding Singer, which is a favorite of ours' and a request that they took time to master during the postponement. Ovation String Quartet played a large part in making our wedding day lovely and I couldn't recommend them more!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Molly! You were a pleasure to work with and we are so glad to have been part of your wedding and reception. - Laurie

    Amazing string quartet! I recommend them to anyone!

    The Ovation String Quartet played prelude and ceremony music for our August 2021 wedding and they were absolutely amazing. The quartet performed with perfection and never missed a cue, making the whole presentation seamless. Their communication while coordinating our arrangement was impeccable as well, not to mention the two slightly unique songs they customized for our ceremony. My husband teared up just from listening to the digitalized version of his walk out song! I 100% recommend Ovation String Quartet to anyone looking for live string music during their wedding or any other special celebration.

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Colette! You were so great to work with, and we are glad that everything went so well. All the best to you! - Laurie

    The Perfect Option

    I'm so glad we decided to have Ovation play for our wedding! They played our chosen selections beautifully! The whole experience with them was great, not just for that day, but leading up to the day as well! Laurie was very responsive and professional in the months leading up to our big day, and I feel that they did everything to make sure that we received exactly the experience we were hoping for!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Kim! You were a pleasure to work with and your wedding was beautiful. All the best to you and your lovely family. - Laurie

    Beautiful Music & Fantastic Service

    My husband and I used Ovation for our wedding this past October. The pandemic provided numerous logistical challeneges but the group was still very willing to play at our very small outdoor ceremony. They timing and quality of each selection was lovely and numerous guests commented on how much they enjoyed our live music. Hats off to Laurie who manages the group and was so kind and pleasant throughout all of the communication.

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Julia. We really appreciate that you took the time to write a review. Your wedding was spectacular!! Also thanks for being so organized. Congratulations to you and Collin!

    Amazing and professional!!

    I LOVED working with Ovation String Quartet for my wedding in December at the St. Paul College Club. Laurie was professional and responded quickly to all of my questions. She also invited us to watch the quartet perform at the Icehouse, and I really appreciated the opportunity to see them perform before the wedding! They have a huge repertoire selection and will take special requests as well. My family sang during our ceremony, and at the last minute (like, the day before the wedding) we decided to ask Ovation to accompany the choir. We sent the arrangement to them and they nailed it! I was extremely pleased with my experience with Ovation and I would recommend them to anyone!!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much, Katie. You were a pleasure to work with, and your wedding is very memorable. Best wishes!

    We only we wish could have heard more!

    What a beautiful sound to walk down the aisle to! Especially in our venue, their sound filled the room. We are so happy we booked with Ovation String Quartet. We had absolutely no issues and they were accommodating to our needs. We booked them to stay to play the cocktail hour and it was also magnificent, I would highly recommend doing so. Excellent service, value, and sound! Thank you!!

    Everything you want in a quartet

    They were very professional and responsive. They had a huge song list and learned a handful of songs we requested. They played everything how we wanted. it was perfect!

    We had ovation string quartet at our wedding last weekend at Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester. We weren’t allowed to have a live band because of city ordinances so we knew we had to have some sort of live music! We had ovation play 30 min before our ceremony through the end of cocktail hour. We had a mix of classic and contemporary and they nailed it all! They were so professional and also extremely talented! I couldn’t recommend them more!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you, Ann. We always enjoy playing at Mayowood, and your wedding and reception were great. So many of your friends and family stopped by to tell us that they were listening and appreciated the music. Best wishes to you! Laurie

    We were lucky to have the Ovation String Quartet play for our wedding in June 2018. They were excellent and we couldn't recommend them more strongly. Laurie was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all our e-mails. They were very reasonably priced and we were happy to pay a little more to keep them around through our cocktail hour. One awesome perk is the arrangement of a song of your choice for strings. They did "Everything Is Awesome" (from The Lego Movie) as our recessional. It truly was awesome and many people commented on it. My only complaint was, as the groom, I was too busy doing other things and didn't get to sit and enjoy their music enough!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thanks, Mitch! Your requested song was a great one to add to our repertoire, and we had fun playing for your wedding. All the best to you and Emily.

    Ovation Strings is downright perfect. Not only do they play a wide variety of songs, but they’re willing to accommodate to any and all needs.

    We worked directly with Laurie who is simply amazing. She quickly responds to emails and overall, provides top notch customer service.

    We couldn’t have had a better experience preparing for the big day, especially when it came time to discussing the songs for the ceremony and cocktail hour.

    This group is professional, talented (also affordable) and everything a couple could dream of having in a wedding string quartet. I would hands down recommend Ovation Strings!

    Laurie and her team are amazing. I am still getting complements from our guests on how great the music was. They added that special, romanic touch that we were looking for, that really made our night.
    Laurie was so easy to work with, and was very responsive to all of my emails, which is nice when you are working with so many people and vendors.
    I highly recommend Ovation Strings, they are great and so worth it.

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much, Jennifer. We really enjoyed playing for your wedding and you were wonderful to work with. Also, your mom was so sweet - she make a point to stop by and thank us. All the best, Laurie

    Laurie was super accommodating and easy to work with, their repertoire was vast and their playing was skillful and elegant. Their opening music, ceremony music, and dinner music fit so well with our wedding and were a part of our entire day. Ovation String Quartet was the perfect choice for our wedding.

    Ovation String Quartet was absolutely amazing and truly perfected our ceremony. If you are questioning whether to hire a quartet for your wedding, DO IT - Ovation String Quartet was worth every penny and brought an amazing element to our wedding that guests are still raving how beautiful the ceremony was. Working with Laurie was so easy and she transformed our vision to reality, seamlessly. The ceremony was beautiful and made our wedding feel magical & SO CLASSY! I loved it :)

    Ovation String Quartet was the perfect addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour!

    We hired a trio (just in order to save a little money) for 1 hour & 45 minutes. They sounded AMAZING! We chose all modern songs for our wedding ceremony (Just The Way You Are -Bruno Mars, All Of Me -John Legend, etc.) and it made our ceremony extra special. Hearing those songs being played was really memorable for us and several guests commented that they sounded great with all of the songs!

    The price, song repertoire list, organization and execution were all 5/5 and I would recommend them to anyone else looking for great ceremony musicians!

    Ovation String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much, Allison, for taking the time to write the review. We are thrilled that you are happy with our music and service. Thanks for having us part of your day and best wishes!!
