    Great String Quartet for Wedding

    I booked the String Quartet for my wedding last spring and was very happy with their performance. They played for the ceremony and the cocktail hour. I asked them if they could play my favorite song to walk down the aisle, and they were very responsive and were able to find the sheet music for the song and perform it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a string quartet for their wedding!

    String Quartet of Northern Virginia's reply:

    Thank you for your wonderful review, Margaret! We truly enjoyed being a part of your wedding and wish you all the best!

    The most magical experience

    I absolutely loved having a string quartet for my wedding. It made the ceremony so much more special. My only wish was that I could have listened to them play longer. Prior to the ceremony, I had my ears to the door to the next room to listen. Would forever recommend the String Quartet of Northern Virginia

    String Quartet of Northern Virginia's reply:

    Thank you, Kaitlin, for your lovely review! We enjoyed being part of your wonderful wedding and are so happy you enjoyed our music!

    Excellent string quartet!

    We were so happy with our choice for a string quartet. Diana was very responsive to our inquiry and follow-up questions. The quartet was very professional and the music truly created a fairytale feel for ceremony and cocktail hour. We received several compliments from guests!

    The Icing on The Cake

    The String Quartet of Northern VA were absolutely the elegant detail of our daughter's wedding that elevated it to "fairy tale" level--the icing on the cake, for sure. They were extremely easy to work with from beginning to end. The music was magical and beautifully played. We had made some music selections that they very easily accommodated and then, also recommended some of their own that they thought would suite the character of our families and ambiance of our celebration--full of love, sweetness and dreamy. Our wedding was outdoors in scorching July heat on the Chesapeake Bay. The musicians were all very good sports and played in little shade under a canopy.

    The String Quartet of NVA was simply magnificent. Their talent is obvious in every song. Their repertoire extensive. Such a powerful and elegant part of our ceremony and cocktail hour. Great communication, pricing and value. An easy choice really! Our thanks and praise!

    A wonderful group of musicians!

    I was absolutely thrilled to work with the String Quartet of Northern Virginia
    for my wedding ceremony on 9/30. The evening was
    spectacular and the trio was an extremely elegant and professional addition
    to a beautiful evening. The playlist was perfectly executed. They were truly a joy to work with.

    A great addition to the day!

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia was one of my favorite vendors (even though I sadly didn’t even get a chance to meet them on the wedding day!). They were highly communicative and clear with pricing and how the process would work. They played everything we had discussed beautifully and were a really great addition to our wedding day. One thing that stood out was when they thanked me for being communicative and making the process easy - it made my day and was just a thoughtful thing to say. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Beautiful Sound - Great to Work With

    String Quartet of Northern Virginia played at my daughter’s wedding at Airlie, VA in October 2022. They were amazing! Diana was great to work with as the wedding day approached. Perhaps unlike many others, I selected every song to be played and the order in which they were to be played. Additionally, I wanted a song that needed arranging, and two that they needed sheet music purchased. Diana handled that promptly. Lastly, in terms of preparation, there was a last-minute change in the procession, which caused a change in the song order. One e-mail to Diana and all changes were implemented seamlessly.

    The sound the quartet produced was amazing; so rich and pure perfectly providing elegance to the prelude, ceremony and cocktail hour. We received many, many compliments from our guests about the beautiful music.

    I have another daughter and will not hesitate to have String Quartet of Northern Virginia play at her wedding. I highly recommend them.

    Amazing Group and perfect playlist

    I can't say enough good things about this group. I never had to worry about this piece of my wedding. Super responsive and even willing to learn "our song" for the ceremony. I asked for several different styles to be played throughout - Classical during the pre-ceremony, MoTown/Beatles during cocktail hour and everything was nailed perfectly. My guests were thoroughly impressed and I would recommend them to anyone looking to add music to their ceremony/special day. You won't be disappointed.

    Wonderful experience!

    They were prompt, professional, presentable and helped us create wonderful memories! Communication leading up to the event was seamless, and the guidance offered in creating an appropriate repertory was spot-on. I recommend them to anyone interested in a classy, unforgettable event, and I wish them the very best with future endeavors!

    Amazing Ceremony and Cocktail Ambiance!

    The String Quartet were absolutely incredible, such a great way to add some live music to the wedding day! We hired a full String Quartet to play for two hours. They played ceremony prelude music, ceremony processional/recessional, and cocktail music during our event. The selection of songs is great, it included classical strings and wedding music during the ceremony plus modern covers during the cocktail hour. The Quartet was very professional and organized during the planning stage. Then most importantly they sounded great and provided the perfect ambiance! I would absolutely recommend the String Quartet for anyone looking to add some classy live music to your event!

    String Quartet of Northern Virginia's reply:

    Congratulations to you and Colton on your beautiful wedding! We loved the personal touches with your music choices, especially Lara's Theme. We were honored to be part of your special day, and we thank you for the great review!

    Highly Recommended!

    Working with Stephanie couldn't have been easier. She was prompt to reply to any questions and the quartet did an excellent job performing at my daughter's wedding. All the details were covered prior and they helped make the day extra special, making suggestions and playing everything we requested from their extensive offering. With so many details to be taken care of, Stephanie and the group made this part easy and memorable.

    We appreciate your wonderful review and loved being part of your family's special day! We enjoyed performing the variety of classical, movie and Broadway selections you chose which enhanced the lovely ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you again!

    String Duo for Micro Wedding

    We were thrilled to have Northern VA String Quartet as part of our micro wedding. The musicians were part of the family for the day! The did a great job providing us with our selections and made the atmosphere during the ceremony complete and the luncheon music so much fun for our guests. They are very professional and responsive to our requests, we highly recommend them and hope to have a future event where we can use them again.

    String Quartet of Northern Virginia's reply:

    Thank you, Maria! We loved being part of your family’s celebration and especially enjoyed the “guess who picked the song—bride or groom?” game during dinner. 😀 All best wishes to the newlyweds!

    Amazing performance

    If you have the budget for live music at your wedding, I would highly recommend this group! I hired a cello and violin duo, and they were able to coordinate a rehearsal with the Cantor and the church's pianist before the ceremony. They did an especially amazing job with Meditation from the Opera Thais for the bridal procession. The timing was perfect! I think its important to add that they were extremely accommodating when there were inevitable changes as COVID-19 disrupted our original plans.

    Superb Musicians!

    This musical string quartet is absolutely the best! The quality of their musicianship is outstanding! Their repertoire is extensive and they are extremely professional and accommodating. They played all of the pieces we requested and in an order that flowed beautifully. We asked them to not only play during the ceremony but also during cocktails and throughout the dinner and I’m so glad that we did. It added so much to the entire experience and created the perfect atmosphere We could have listened to them all night. I’d love to be able to listen to them in concert some day! We feel so blessed to have had them play for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    Excellent!

    We knew we wanted the elegance of a string quartet at our wedding, but knew little beyond that about classical music. Diana helped us along the way with suggestions and samples and ideas for processional and recessional. The ceremony music was perfect and we couldn't be more in love with how everything worked out! The Quartet continued to play through cocktail hour, where they switched to more upbeat songs our guests recognized and loved! We received so many compliments and would highly recommend working with the Northern Virginia String Quartet!

    Castell/Cassidy Fall Wedding

    I originally reached out to the Quartet and then with their help they worked directly with the bride and groom. They provided wonderful pre wedding music and then they did a beautiful performance at the wedding. We also had them entertain during the cocktail hour. They are very flexible with their music and our guest really enjoyed them.
    We would definitely recommend the NOVA String Quartet.

    Incredible Amazing Experience

    We had a song we wanted to have played at our wedding. The String Quartet of Northern Virginia obtained the music in an arrangement for a string quartet, learned the music and played it at our wedding. They did a fantastic job! We highly recommend The String Quartet of Northern Virginia.
