    Beautiful and impressive ambiance for our wedding day!

    We were beyond impressed working with Neil and the St. Charles String Quartet! From the beginning, Neil's communication and organization made our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour absolutely perfect. Our guests loved the extra touch of having live music, and it brought a level of formality to our intimate ceremony. It was unique to be able to hear classic wedding music and also 'hit's' that everyone would recognize as their radio favorites. I would highly recommend working with St. Charles String Quartett!!

    We chose St. Charles String Quartet to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour because we were very impressed with the quality of their music as well as their song selection. We wanted non-traditional music for our ceremony, and they had a ton of songs to choose from. They were also more than willing to learn any songs that we wanted that weren't on their song list. We chose the following songs for our ceremony: What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong), At Last (Etta James), Somebody to Love (Queen) and Signed Sealed Delivered (Stevie Wonder); and they all sounded perfect! We didn't get to hear them play our cocktail hour since we were taking pictures, but we got a...

    I cannot say enough great things about St. Charles String Quartet. They performed at our May 18th wedding, and they were the talk of the event. They played Top 40 and added an element of fun to a venue that had the potential to be stuffy. Neil, the leader of the group, was incredibly flexible. When my soloist got strep throat, he and his group agreed to play the song with no qualms.

    We highly recommend St. Charles String Quartet! We're forever fans.

    St. Charles are the best, most talented musicians around. Everyone at the our wedding loved them, they were amazing. They learned a new song for us, and the range of music they can play is great. I recommend them to everyone looking for musicians. They made our wedding so special, we can't thank them enough.

    The St. Charles String Quartet did a great job playing our ceremony & cocktail hour music at our September 18, 2010 wedding. Neil was great in helping us out with song suggestions prior to the wedding and was always very quick to respond. I wish that we had a chance to see them after the cocktail hour to thank them for doing such a fabulous job! They were extremely professional and I would highly recommend them!!

    I hired a string trio from St. Charles String Quarter for my March 27, 2010 wedding. My husband and I met with Neil a year in advance and booked right away to ensure the group could play for our ceremony. I heard so many rave reviews about the group, I knew I would hire them before we met with Neil. Neil's fast response time and great communication were just a bonus. So many of our guests told us the music was such a beautiful part of our ceremony, and we were highly impressed. If you are looking for a string group for your wedding, you will not be disappointed with this group.

    Neil and the St. Charles Quartet were a WONDERFUL addition to our Catholic ceremony. From the moment I first contacted Neil, he was great to work with. I requested they play a song that was not in their repertoire, which they learned for the ceremony & it turned out beautifully! They really do an amazing job!

    They were excellent and a great addition to my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour that was held outdoors. My guests were very very impressed. They really add a classy touch - and they are affordable! I communicated with Neil through email and he was very responsive and professional. They have a lot of experience and are the best ceremony music vendor in the DC/MD/VA area. They also can play modern music (Coldplay, Bitter Sweet Symphony, etc). I would absolutely hire them again.

    Fabulous!!

    We couldn’t be happier with the St. Charles String Quartet! Their music added such elegance and beauty to our wedding ceremony. Every song we requested was performed with stunning precision, creating a magical atmosphere that perfectly complemented our special day.

    The quartet’s talent and professionalism were apparent in every note—they brought such warmth and emotion to each piece, making the ceremony truly unforgettable. Our guests were absolutely enchanted by their performance, and we received so many compliments on how beautiful the music was. We highly recommend!!

    Beautiful addition to our big day

    We loved our experience with St Charles! Not only were they reasonably priced, they were very professional, easy to work with, and had a huuuuge repertoire to choose from!

    We loved that they were able to play so many modern songs on strings at our wedding- it gave everyone a magical Bridgerton vibe and added beautiful sound to all of our big and small events going on.

    St Charles was also flexible in adding in songs that weren't on their repertoire which we so loved and appreciated. We would hire them all over again!

    Beautiful songs played by the string quartet

    St. Charles String Quartet was amazing on our wedding day. I had the pleasure of hearing several of the songs prior to our ceremony. The quartet was beautiful and played the songs exactly as I had requested. During the ceremony, the string quartet was beautiful and created the ambiance that I wanted for my ceremony. Our guests loved the contemporary covers that the group played and mentioned how much they loved the quartet after. I loved walking down the aisle to the beautiful songs played by the group and would highly recommend for your next event!!

    The Quartet did an amazing job! We had them play pop music arrangements for our wedding before the ceremony, and everyone we spoke to remarked in how beautiful the Quartet sounded!

    Loved St. Charles String quartet - we had them play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The only disappointment was that we were so busy during the cocktail hour that we hardly got to hear them play. OUr guests complimented us on their music and years later still talk about them.

    The musicians of St. Charles String Quartet were amazing to work with and phenomenal from start to finish. They did an awesome job of setting the tone for our wedding ceremony and keeping everyone in great spirits and musical bliss during our cocktail hour. Following the wedding, a number of our guests remarked on how great they were and were super impressed by the fact that they played contemporary music on their instruments that sounded great. The musicians are extraordinary and I HIGHLY recommend their services because they made the most important day of my life absolutely amazing.

    St. Charles String Quartet was a perfect addition for our wedding day! If you are considering having a string quartet, it is totally worth it if you book St. Charles String Quartet. They played beautiful music, were extremely professional, and made the ceremony very lovely. They are very talented and have a vast repertoire! Thanks for making our day perfect!

    The St. Charles String Quartet was phenomenal during my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The guests were gushing about their mixture of classical and popular pieces. As a violinist myself, I can say that their talent and the quality of their performance was absolutely wonderful. They executed everything flawlessly. I would definitely recommend them!!

    Neil and the rest of the St. Charles String Quartet will be one of the highlights of your wedding! I received so many compliments on what a wonderful job they did and how impressed people were with their music selections! I asked them to do contemporary music for the cocktail hour, and they knocked it out of the park (e.g., Stairway to Heaven, Somebody That I Used to Know, Titanium). They even did some music for my ceremony that was not on their list. Book them - you won't be disappointed!

    We used the St. Charles String Quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We were impressed by the breadth of their repertoire. They can play classical music like Bach, but they can also play Red Hot Chili Peppers. We opted for more classical music during the ceremony and 80s/90s/pop music for the cocktail hour. Our guests loved that mix of music. Neil was extremely responsive and easy to work with. We had a few songs we wanted played for each part of the event but left the rest of the choices up to them, and they did a great job. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event.

    I LOVED having a trio of musicians from the St. Charles string quartet play at my wedding. My only regret is that I didn't book them for longer! I had them play the music as I walked down the aisle and then they played during the cocktail hour while we were doing photos. I wish I had booked them to stay through dinner as I missed hearing much of their music. However what I did hear was absolutely lovely. My guests commented on their music and it was just a really sweet touch to a small wedding - a nice little inexpensive splurge. Very reasonable cost. I loved them! Very easy to deal with and professional. Totally recommend.

    I loved The St. Charles Quartet. Their repertoire is beautifully varied and I enjoyed all the songs they played. My guests were very happy and amused to hear modern songs being played, such as Bruno Mars and Rihanna. They played the songs I requested beautifully. I highly recommend!
