    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!

    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

    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.

    First Class Experience

    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.

    Wow,! Such an amazing quartet! They added so much to my daughter’s wedding day with their beautiful music. What a great decision to hire them for the ceremony and cocktail hour, as I could not have asked for a more outstanding, professional group of musicians to work with from a musical as well as business standpoint. Best of the best! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars in this review because they deserve it ! Highly recommend!

    Amazing quartet!

    I cannot praise the String Quartet of Northern Virginia enough. They were very professional and great to work with. We used the quartet for my daughter’s cocktail hour at her wedding. The quality of their music was of the highest standard and we had quite a few compliments from guests about how wonderful the music and the group were. They certainly added a touch of class to the wedding and I would certainly recommend this group to anyone.

    Beautiful music to make for a perfect ceremony!

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia provided beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Comprised of the finest musicians in the DMV area, the string quartet played classical music for the ceremony and pop/dance music for the cocktail hour. Before the event, Stephanie (Artistic Director and violinist), met with us to get our musical preferences for the event. She was so easy and fun to talk to and quickly understood our vision. She has a vast collection of music covering all genres. If you request a song that is not yet in their collection, Stephanie will find an arrangement. We loved hearing pop music by artists like Sinatra, Sting, Beyonce, Coldplay, and Daft Punk. Our guests LOVED the quartet and we received so many compliments on how beautifully they played. The music made our special day perfect!

    Lovely Music

    They were very easy to work with and have a large repertoire of music. The worksheet they gave me made it very easy to plan the music selection, and I was able to work with them to customize it exactly how we wanted it. Overall very happy with the music, many of the guests loved some of the popculture songs they played as well (such as Game of Thrones and other). They are also willing to learn any additional music for a fee, but since they have such a large selection already, we didn't find that necessary. The string quartet added just the right amount of elegance to our ceremony.

    Great experience!

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia was wonderful for our wedding! They played beautifully and were great to work with around our special requests. We especially appreciated that on our big day they remained flexible to help us get our dream ceremony outside even with weather delays. Can't thank them enough!

    I had an amazing experience with the String Quartet of Northern VA! They were prompt, very professional, and really made my vision of the day come to life. They were able to learn a song to play specifically for my ceremony which I greatly appreciated! You can't go wrong with them!

    Northern VA String Quartet was AMAZING! They played so beautifully and I received many compliments. They played for the prelude, the ceremony processional and recessional, and the cocktail hour. They were phenomenal! I HIGHLY recommend them!

    Thank you so much!!!!

    Diana and Stephanie were terrific. I was extremely pleased with the response time, cost, special requests, professionalism, and absolutely the most beautiful music for our daughter and son in law's wedding ceremony.
    Thank you for the last minute changes and for providing us with a stand for the officiants, which was so helpful.
    Again, thank you for making the day even more special!.

    The String Quartet of Northern VA did a fantastic job of playing at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They played a wide variety of music (classical, ragtime and pop) and were extremely professional and responsive. They asked detailed questions about the ceremony to get everything just right (some of these questions we had not even thought of) and helped make it so special. We had many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the music. We would highly recommend them and are so glad they were able to perform at our wedding!

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia was a wonderful choice for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. They were very professional and sounded better than we could've imagined. We received a thoughtful handwritten note from them in the mail following our wedding, which added a personal touch that we greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them !

    Having the String Quartet made the ceremony!!! They played exactly what we requested and the sound was perfect. They were professional, courteous, and wonderful. The string quartet was the only request I made to my daughter to have at the wedding and it could not have been more perfect. I am so glad I found them and booked them for my daughters wedding. Thank you so much for making the ceremony that much more special.

    Don't give it a second thought, hire the Northern Virginia String Quartet for your event. Every member was professional, communication prior to the event was easy and the music was beautiful. So glad that we hired them for our wedding. Absolutely everything was perfect.

    If you would like a professional live string quartet for your ceremony, you can't do better than the String Quartet of Northern Virginia. My daughter and her fiance' fell in love with them at a bridal fair in DC. Stephanie was a dream to communicate with and so patient and responsive during the whole process of music selection, timing questions, etc. When we decided to use a tenor soloist, she found the perfect one. While I was a bit nervous that they do not come to the rehearsal, we managed by having our wedding consultant make a CD to use at the rehearsal. That worked fine, and the ceremony went off without a hitch. Because their package is 90 minutes, we were able to select several more songs for the 30 minute prelude and have a few in a postlude as well. Their repertoire is extensive, and they are also willing to obtain additional music if your daughter has her heart set on a particular song. If you cry at beautiful music, bring the tissues! We had a blend of popular and classical music, and each selection was exquisite. It's not inexpensive, but if music is important to you, it's well worth the cost to help create an unforgettable ceremony!

    I can't express enough how beautiful and moving the String Quartet of Northern Virginia was during my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. If you are looking for a true experience for your ceremony and your guests, book the String Quartet of Northing Virginia. Worth every moment and I can still remember the music! They are professionals and so talented. Through the planning period, Stephanie sent me music selections and we shared ideas and options for music during our wedding Mass. Stephanie is wonderful to work with and she shared her expertise on what classical pieces would sound great together. The quartet also played an arrangement of Be Thou My Vision during my offering to the Blessed Mother which was so special. To add to it, the Quartet played romantic pop music during my cocktail hour. All my guests were so surprised with the amazing musical selections (and still commenting on it)! I made a special request to have Defying Gravity played on the violins for my husband, and Stephanie was able to quickly accommodate my request. It was stunning!! I would love to have the String Quartet at another event.

    The musicians from the String Quartet of Northern VA were professional, friendly, flexible, and exceptionally high quality musicians. They sounded fantastic, and they received MANY compliments from both the wedding party and guests. I would highly recommend this string group to anyone who might be in need of a quartet or trio for their wedding!

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia played the music for our outdoor ceremony in Falls Church, VA on May 8th, 2015. I live in Toronto and made all arrangements with them via email. They were very responsive and made the preparations really easy. The guests really enjoyed the music especially the Pop and Rock pieces they played after the ceremony. Thank you for being part of our wedding - your music made it even more special!

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia played the music for our wedding ceremony last month and we could not be happier with our whole experience with them. Stephanie was really easy to communicate with during the planning process. They have a large repertoire, so it was really easy to pick songs that we liked. Stephanie also had good suggestions for songs that would fit the mood we were trying to create. On the day of the wedding, the music was absolutely beautiful! We received lots of compliments from our wedding guests on the ceremony music. Very highly recommended!

    We selected String Quartet of Northern Virginia from among several other area quartets based on price point, and were extremely happy with their responsiveness prior to the wedding and their performance during both the wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour. They were very professional, and the music, a selection of both classical and popular songs, was excellent. Thank you for your contribution to our wedding day--we greatly appreciated it!

    We were exceptionally pleased with String Quartet of Northern Virginia who played for my daughter's wedding. We booked them about 8 months before the ceremony and they were very helpful to her in terms of music selection. They were also very accommodating when she wanted a more contemporary number for her recessional. Even without coming to the rehearsal (which they will do for an extra charge), they performed flawlessly and didn't miss any cues.

    As a fellow musician, I was selective when deciding on which bands to use. I could not have been more pleased with the String Quartet of Northern Virginia. They were professional in our business dealings, had an incredibly diverse range of classical and pop music from Coldplay to 1920's Cole Porter, and were easy to contact for coordination. I would recommend them without hesitation for a wedding or classy event.

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia was awesome! We loved that they were able to play modern music for our guests as they waited for the ceremony to begin and not just the standard classical numbers you always hear at weddings. We added a trumpet for the ceremony to play during the Bridal Chorus and Wedding March which added a bit of regalness to the processional and recessional. Our guests raved about the modern music played during the cocktail hour as well, everyone said it was fun trying to guess what song they were playing. It was a pleasure working with Stephanie- planning the music was one of the easiest parts of the wedding and I would 100% recommend them for any wedding or event.

    We were so delighted with the music at our wedding! From start to finish communication with Stephanie was a breeze during the planning process. The website was also a true helping hand, with snippets of all the popular wedding music and more. Of course Pachebel Canon was a must and we were so blessed to have Pergolesi's Stabat Mater during our rope tying ceremony. I would recommend the String Quartet of Northern VA to all brides hoping for elegance and grace for their big day!
    Thank you so much Stephanie et al

    We hired String Quartet of Northern Virginia for our son's wedding/reception at our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased. They were punctual, professional, and played beautifully. Many guests commented to us afterwards on how much they enjoyed the music and on how much it contributed to making the event memorable. We would definitely hire them again if we needed musical accompaniment for a special occasion.

    Stephanie and the String Quartet were wonderful to work with for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Stephanie was very responsive to all of my emails and answered all of my questions in a prompt fashion, and the combination of the Quartet's fair pricing with their extensive musical repertoire made them an easy choice for our string music. Their payment process was simple and straightforward, and they arrived on time and were ready to go well in advance of the ceremony prelude music. In addition, they were very flexible with my needs for a very short prelude, and played everything I wanted (including The Beatles!) during my ceremony, and then used the remaining time "on the clock" to play some awesome pop/rock standards during a portion of the cocktail hour. Beautiful music and very professional!

    This string quartet did a fabulous job at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. With a mother and soon to be sister-in-law who both play violin, a talented string quartet was an important requirement for us. All my musical (and non-musical) friends had wonderful things to say about them.

    They came punctually and set themselves up very professionally and were super easy to talk with over email. They also arranged a song we specifically requested (from Star Wars) for a very reasonable fee.

    I couldn't find an entry for this group on Wedding Wire (though they're on theKnot) so I added them. Their website is http://www.northernvirginiastringquartet.com

    We were in a position of re-planning a wedding to the DC area in a few weeks as a result of Hurricane Irma. We were connected to the String Quartet of Northern Virginia through a relative that lives in the area, and they were terrific. Stephanie was incredibly responsive and accommodating to our situation, and very helpful in planning the music that accompanied our ceremony and cocktail party prior to the reception. Thanks a million.

    The String Quartet of Northern Virginia was wonderful. The music they provided was of very high quality, and our guests absolutely loved it. When I, the bride, got to listen to it on the recording after the wedding, I was also blown away. I asked them to play a couple items not in their repertoire, but they were very flexible. For an additional fee, they arranged something I requested for our recessional, and the arrangement was gorgeous. Diana, the group's point of contact, was always friendly, responsive, and accommodating. I highly recommend this group!

    The NOVA String Quartet was excellent to work with, extremely professional. In addition to playing some of the classic wedding songs they also took the time to learn a Snatam Kaur song and played along with it as Julie walked down the aisle.....it was very beautiful and quite moving. I would strongly recommend them!!

    Hiring the String Quartet of Northern Virginia was SUCH a great decision!! Stephanie was so easy to work with and made planning our music selections so easy. They arrived promptly for our ceremony and stayed through the cocktail hour. I received MANY compliments from our guests on how much they loved the contemporary music that the string quartet played during the cocktail hour. They played the Beatles, Eurythmics, etc and everyone LOVED it!! I would definitely recommend them to any brides-to-be!!
