They did a lovely job for my wedding ceremony. Allegra created a custom arrangement for my walk down the isle and it was everything I had ever dreamt of. I would absolutely hire them again.

Working with Allegra and her team was spectacular. She is so communicative, helpful, and genuinely wants to make sure your vision is brought to life in the form of music. It was so special to have them play at my ceremony, it truly set the tone of the day and what is special is that a lot of guests were experiencing a live string quartet for the first time and I am so grateful for that. I 100% recommend hiring them for your special day!

We booked the Harbor String Trio (violin, viola and cello) for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Allegra and her team were extremely professional throughout the whole process...
- responsive, prompt, and accommodating. They were even willing to learn songs and put together the music based on our style. Very reasonable priced as well! I highly recommend them.

I used Harbor String Quartet for my ceremony music. I liked that they have the option to use the full quartet, a trio or duo. I booked a duo, with cello and violin and they did an ...
amazing job. The sound was beautiful and I loved that they had a large repertoire! They can play the classics or work with you on what modern songs will work for strings.

Alegra and the Harbor String Quartet were wonderful. Not much to say other than how great it was to have an outside wedding next to the airport and to be able to hear the Quartet!...

My husband and I were very pleased with Harbor String Quartet. They provided the music at our wedding ceremony at Tabernacle United Methodist Church on Sandbridge Road. The music ...
was magnificent and the acoustics in the historical church really made our guests melt. It was beautiful. Allegra at Harbor String Quartet was a breeze to work with. She truly worked with me as I had difficulty coordinating our wedding in one month. Considering my husband was away (military) she was willing to work with us through e-mail which made it very convenient. As a surprise to me on the wedding day, my husband requested a Cold Play song played after the Recessional. Harbor String's repertoire is amazing and they were able to accommodate his request on the spot.
