    If you truly are looking for the BEST musicians for your ceremony or reception, Philadelphia String Quarter is it! Our violinist was AMAZING at the church!!! He worked with the pianist and my sister in law throughout the whole mass and everyone could not stop raving about him. I came up to him after the ceremony and thanked him so much for playing, he was so kind and sweet!! Our guest especially loved the duet during the cocktail hour, I saw our guest tapping their feet on the ground while they played moves like jagger! I would recommend The Philadelphia String Quarter for anyone looking for musicians for weddings, partys, etc. Your company was worth every penny and more!! We still talk about the musicians today!!

    Thank you Jillian and Michael you guys are so sweet!

    A special unique detail

    We wanted something unique at our wedding so we reached out to Mugu and the team after seeing all the raves reviews! They accommodated our special requests for processional music (the weekend, game of thrones, a halo by Beyoncé) and guests made several comments about how beautiful they sounded doing cocktail hour. I’m just sad I didn’t get more time to listen to them during the ceremony (I was a little distracted!!)

    Beyond Excellence

    There are no words when the music speaks for itself! Simply incredible, our guests are still complimenting our string quartet. PSQ was so easy to work with throughout the pandemic and all of the changes, played every song we had on our list, and made our special day spectacular. I can’t wait until I have the privilege of being in their audience again. Mugu is so easy to work with and Laura gets back to you right away, making everything seamless. So lucky to have had them be part of our day!

    Phenomenal partners

    Mugu and his team were phenomenal. They delivered a magnificent performance as part of our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Several guests asked for their contact information for future events. In preparing for the wedding, Mugu had a few creative ideas that made our day even more special than we imagined. They communicated well, responded to our questions, showed up on time, and they were exactly what we hoped for. Their music selection was wide ranging and hit all of the special notes. They even played a song my grandfather danced to with his bride more than 70 years ago. We are forever grateful and highly recommend them.

    Breathtaking experience

    My fiancé and i had hired Philadelphia string quartet last minute, and it was the best decision we made! The interface they use was easy to navigate and they were very communicative. They were eager to help with selections and made the whole experience seamless, not to mention how crazy talented they are! Our venue was excited to have them and our guests still speak about them till now. They are a must!!

    Talk of the Night!

    We hired the PSQ to play at our ceremony and cocktail hour for an outdoor wedding. They went above and beyond in their performance. The band was extremely attentive to our needs and was able to play a variety of music from classical to pop. Every guest we talked to that night kept talking about how great the band was. I highly recommend booking if you’re looking to impress your guests at your next event!

    So amazing & talented!

    PSQ was definitely one of our best decisions! We booked them for our cocktail hour and our request was to keep the vibe fun and upbeat - they definitely surpassed all of our expectations, setting an awesome energy & tone for the evening. Our friends & family keep mentioning how great PSQ was!!!

    SO gorgeous!

    PSQ set a perfect tone for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They play so beautifully and have such a fun repertoire. Our procession music was Journey, Coldplay and Beyonce and our guests LOVED it. Our musicians played string instruments at the ceremony and switched to electric for cocktail and it was a great transition to the reception. They also played my sister's wedding in Fall 2019 and they were just at wonderful. Thank you so much!

    PSQ Was Amazing!

    Whipped Bakeshop created the cake (and cookie favors!) of our dreams for our wedding. We contacted them on short notice due to rescheduling our wedding as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and they were more than happy to assist with a quick turnaround. We worked with Jess who understood exactly what we wanted. Our cake was three tiers and we were able to have each tier be a different flavor, which was awesome! They created beautiful peonies for our simple and elegant cake. The cookie favors were custom created as well, to look like our cake (and they added our initials). Overall this was a great and delicious experience. We already want to go back for more!

    Philadelphia String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much for the shoutout!! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding. (And the cake was gorgeous and looked yummy!!) Wishing you all the best ❤️

    You need them for your wedding!

    If you’re debating on whether or not to book PSQ - DO IT! They are group of the most talented musicians I’ve ever heard! They played at our ceremony and it just made the whole experience much more beautiful and heartfelt. Our ceremony was better than we imagined! Thank you so much!!

    Extraordinary and beautiful ambiance

    The Philadelphia String Quartet was incredible. They were quick to respond and always eager to help answer any questions. We had originally chose a cellist and harpist to perform, but then switched to a harpist and violinist and were very flexible and understanding. They have an incredible repertoire of songs they can perform and the process to book them is easy and headache free. They also have links of sample music to showcase their abilities which are endless!

    The day of it was incredible to have them perform, true artists! The ambiance and music they brought to the ceremony was honestly one of a kind and one of the best decisions for our wedding. Thank you for an incredible day and wish you all the best!

    PSQ is amazing

    I have nothing but great things to say about PSQ (Philadelphia String Quartet)! From The first initial contact through to wedding day, communications were on point, every question answered and extremely easy to work with. We hired them for ceremony and cocktail hour and while (as the Bride) I was not able to enjoy their full service, my music walking down the aisle was on point and my guest had nothing but great things to say about their performance! I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for live music!

    Highly recommend PSQ

    Philadelphia String Quartet was the perfect addition to our wedding celebration. They created a beautiful and fun environment for our ceremony and Mugu and the team had our guests up and dancing during cocktail hour! They played along with our first dance music and really helped make the moment feel magical. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the musicians were and their amazing song choices. From the start the communication with Laura and Mugu was great and I would highly recommend PSQ to anyone -one wedding guest has already inquired for her own wedding!

    Thoughtful and energetic musicians

    We had a trio (piano and two violins) for our wedding ceremony, cocktails, and reception. They were so incredibly easy to work with and they added so much energy and life to the festivities!!! I was particularly grateful for the witty and thoughtful decisions they made for us. For example, when we were cutting the cake, they started playing “Cake by the Ocean” which our guests thought was so fun! We so highly recommend PSQ!!

    Brilliant at our ceremony and cocktail hour

    The staff at PSQ was simply the best. They were so responsive to any email. They learned 2 songs for our special day and played them brilliantly. The only other request we made of them was to play songs about love from any decade, and they delivered. We had guests dancing during cocktail hour they were so good! Thank you for being a part of our special day!

    Loved PSQ at our daughter's wedding!

    We hired PSQ for our daughter's wedding on 8/24/19. They were easy to work with, professional and pleasant. They delighted our guests with acoustic classic pieces during and after the ceremony. Then they switched to high energy electric instruments for the cocktail hour wowing guests of all ages. Can't wait to our other daughter's wedding, so we can have them again!

    Philadelphia String Quartet's reply:

    Jim, thank you so much for your kind words! It was an honor to celebrate Katie and Jon's marriage and we are exciting to celebrate the marriage of your other daughter as well! 😄

    One of the best parts of my wedding!!!

    First, Mugu is one of the sweetest and caring vendors! He composed a song from piano to violin that my grandfather wrote in his teenage years and played it beautifully while I walked down the isle. It was a dream come true. Guests raved about them at cocktail hour, if I could do it all over again, 1000000% I would hire Philly string. Thank you so so much!!!!!

    Philadelphia String Quartet's reply:

    Aww Noel you have no idea how much your beautiful words mean to all of us at PSQ! It was an honor to play your grandfather's song and to honor his memory. You and Mike are so loved and appreciated and we wish you all the blessings in your new marriage ❤️

    just hire them already!!

    From the first day we spoke with them until the day of the wedding, PSQ were one of our easiest and most fun vendors to work with, and we felt like VIPs every step of the way!

    We had a few songs that are very special to us and they not only learned them but absolutely nailed the performances during the wedding. They played for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour, providing the exact sophisticated mood we wanted with classical looking instruments to match during the ceremony, and then switching gears to beautiful, modern-looking instruments and pop songs for the cocktail hour. Their song selection was impeccable, and everyone seemed to be having an absolute blast playing (especially Mugu!).

    Our guests were floored at the performances, and we got so many compliments – they could not stop talking about how incredible PSQ sounded. Our only regret is that we don’t have more large events coming up to hire them again!

    Philadelphia String Quartet's reply:

    Thank you so much Kelly! The title of your review made us laugh haha It was such a joy and pleasure to work with you and Brian and it was extra special for us to play your sentimental and nostalgic songs. (Playing Good Charlotte at a wedding was a fun change!) We wish you guys all the very best in this new chapter of your lives together ❤️

    Mugu is the best and their music is contagious. My aunt hired them for my wedding shower and we danced the entire event. I had to hired them again for my welcome party! I cannot recommend them enough. They will make your wedding.

    We hired PSQ for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they did not disappoint! They were so easy to work with from beginning to end and they truly took our wedding to the next level!

    Great performances and a pleasure to work with!

    What a great addition to our big day! From our first discussion, Mugu and the Philadelphia String Quartet team were tremendously helpful, collaborative, and responsive. They quickly understood our vision for the day and came up with a plan to enhance our guest experience with music in a variety of genres and instrumentation that gave each part of our wedding (guest arrival, ceremony, cocktails, and reception) a unique, fabulous vibe. Our guests were raving about the music throughout the entire wedding. Thanks so much to Mugu and PSQ for bringing our wedding to life with your spectacular music!
