ere incredibly accommodating with the music I personally wrote, purchased, and adapted — seamlessly incorporating everything into our ceremony. Their performance during cocktail hour was a highlight of the evening, energizing our guests with lively, engaging music that transitioned perfectly into our live cover band.
Even more impressive, the ensemble drove over 2.5 hours to be part of our day, arriving prepared and performing flawlessly. Every interaction with them was professional, kind, and thoughtful.
If you’re looking for a string ensemble in the greater Detroit area that delivers both artistry and reliability, I cannot recommend Go4Baroque highly enough. They truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable!

Our experience with Go 4 Baroque was a dream. Music for our ceremony and cocktail hour was a priority, so we booked Janel and her team very early on! Janel was always responsive an...
d flexible throughout the whole process. Her recommendations were perfect, and I trusted her every decision. She was open minded about requests we had regarding where we wanted the string quartet stationed for our ceremony, even if it was a difficult request. I received nothing but compliments about the Go 4 Baroque team! Even our DJ at the end of the night said they were the most professional looking, focused, and best sounding string quartet he's ever worked with! That's a huge compliment for someone who has been DJing weddings for years.
I chose a majority of modern romantic songs for the quartet to play, and every single song was so beautifully played! Especially "You and Me" by Lifehouse being my walk down the aisle song. When filling out my song request list, if Go 4 Baroque did not have a recording of them playing a song from their repertoire, I used YouTube to search for a string quartet version for an idea. So, while I may not have heard their rendition of my choices before our wedding, they exceeded my expectations for ALL the songs I chose.
My hope is that our wedding video captures their beautiful music so I can listen to it over and over again! If I could make any recommendation to Go 4 Baroque, I would suggest to videotape themselves at each wedding and give the video to the bride and groom of their music. They are such a unique touch to add to your special day, and I can't recommend them enough!

Janel is extremely professional and quick to respond, even suggesting things that I had not taken into account when planning. They were able to learn new special request songs for our ceremony, which made the day extra special and emotional for us. The guests are still talking about how impactful the ceremony was and how amazing the quartet was for the cocktail hour ambiance. I highly recommend going for Baroque! :D
