Landolfi Quartet

hance and offer live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour, but they absolutely delivered and sounded amazing! Everyone was blown away! They were able to play all of our songs we requested ahead of time and supplement so well with additional songs to fill the extra time. Debbie was easy to communicate with via email and their website was overall helpful with providing some samples of arrangements to hear ahead of time. We wanted more modern music and they were able to offer a variety of choices! If you’re able to budget a string quartet to add such a lovely flair to your special event, I highly recommend the Landolfi Quartet!

was so easy. Many of our guests commented on how great they sounded. We could not have been happier to have chosen them to provide music for our special day!

liments on having them play and people got so excited to recognize songs that were played. I highly recommend adding them to your wedding or event!

They were on time, played beautifully and conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism. Some of our other vendors have even reached out asking for their name! I will definitely use them again!

eremony and during cocktail hour. They were reasonably priced and added so much to the ambiance. They are a very professional group and I highly recommend them.

e first violinist played out of tune a majority of the time, there were intonation and rhythm problems throughout, and it sounded like high schoolers who were sight reading music for the first time. I asked non-musicians who attended the wedding their thoughts and they said it was the worst wedding music they'd ever heard. It was hard not to cringe at the music while my loved ones were walking down the aisle. My sister was SO excited to hire this quartet and even paid double for then to travel to her wedding. Disappointed does not even begin to describe how we felt with their playing. I do not recommend unless you want them to ruin your moment on your wedding day.

quickness was real with this group on our wedding day. Our families and friend groups are filled with professional musicians, and instead of hiring one or a few of them, we chose to hire outside of our circle so as not to offend anyone. I wish now we would have offended one or two as opposed to everyone who came to our wedding. There were multiple times where the quartet were so engrossed in their music stands that we could not get their attention to wrap it up. No looking for cues. Our officiant literally had to go and get their attention to stop vamping and play the processional songs for the wedding party! We paid double their fee to travel to our venue, and had we had the ceremony in their normal range, we still would have overpaid. We listened to their samples, watched the youtube videos and we were so excited. Imagine our disappointment when the only nice thing about them was their invitation to leave a negative review. We offered to let them go grab some dinner at our reception since we only booked them for the ceremony (thank heavens), and they courteously declined and hurried packing up to leave, but the moment we mentioned that we had a tip prepared for them, they were very eager and to quote one "we'll gladly stay for that!" Not everyone has their best day every time, however everyone needs to be willing to admit when they have utterly disappointed their clients. This group doesn't appear to have that humility to admit that they aren't perfect. I am ashamed for pushing to hire this group, and I hope my wife one day finds it in her heart to forgive me for their middle-school level performance.

ds of hers since shes a musician and she said no. After hearing them at her wedding I would not hire them for mine

line youll want to rethink your choice. For my wedding i arranged 2 pieces to be played for thr processional. The pieces from their list of repertoire were not played to the level i saw online in videos. As a musician Myself based on what I saw, and their reviews i trusted them with arrangements done by yours truly. I checked in with them about the timining, the playability of the music but it was all told we were golden. I did tell them to play the pieces in their entirety however during the ceremony it was so out of tune, not in time and underrehearsed i told thr officiant to tell them to stop. Because of my directions they didnt, but we wished they had. You see, i come from a family of musicians many of which trained professionally (i actually was in music school at the same time in the same program as the cellist, the only one who seemed to be solid in his preperation) Maybe my family is rude but all i heard about that night and the next day was how underrehearsed and how unprofessional the quartet sounded especially during the parts that mattered the most. When I brought up my dissappointment and the feedback i had, namely "if it couldnt be played well you should have let us know so we could chose better rehearsed music" i got the following response. Bel, I'm sorry you had that reaction. Luckily I was there and it was fine.We did skip the vamp. I'm not sure what you are talking about.There is no such thing as perfect intonation. However we were playing in tune and we payed attention to pacing. We did have time to practice the music you arranged. We liked it. You told us to play to the end of your processional but someone was signaling for us to stop....but we didn't because you had wanted all of it. Feel free to give us a bad review. We need a few to balance out all the great reviews we get. I am sorry that you weren't happy. It was a beautiful wedding and I stick by my assertion that we did fine and were a positive part of you wedding. The travel of 2 hours made us a little tired and possibly not as focused as we would have been but overall I felt good about the entire event. Thanks for noticing that Max was amazing. He was solid and I always appreciate his contribution. We wish you the best! A beautiful couple and it was a beautiful service. The officiant did a great job...nice guy! Debbie Haferkamp All in all. If you want them to play for you especially something not on your list DO NOT pay them until they give you a rehearsal recording. I was pretty mortified. Also if they admitted that the drive made them tired they shouldnt have accepted the gig or offer a partial redund since they mentioned it could have been a factor, i paid a 600 travel fee! We paid 1200 for their services and we were frankly embarassed. It was our big splurge and we wished we could have put the money towards almost anything else. She invited me to review instead of handling the matter privately so I have. She was prompt in all her responses, but her invitation to review was bold so we took her inviation. RUN!

simple and Debbie was very responsive to questions via email. They had a large list of songs we chose from for free on their website and plenty of examples of them playing weddings we could watch on YouTube. The musicians were on time, played beautifully, and were respectful of our guests. No complaints. One more bonus - they are very affordable considering the quality.

or certain songs we would like to hear for our special 30th anniversary, but your music was so enchanting and soothing, that ALL that you played was perfect for our enjoyment. We will recommend you highly and wish you continued success. Thank you, Alan and Betty Fasoldt"

pt. Highly recommend!

kly and quietly. It was awesome having actual people playing at the appropriate times, as they could hear and see the wedding progress. We are so happy we hired the Landolfi Quartet for our wedding!

ine (Tchaikovsky) quite beautifully. I hope to see more of them in the future.

in the future. Very easy to work with and very professional. Definitely recommend this group to anyone looking for a string quartet!

modating us. They worked well with the organist and vocalist. The music was beautiful! Thank you Landolfi.

looking for the perfect string quartet.

so asked them to play their choice of music during the cocktail hour and they made some great selections that matched the style of our other choices.

reasonably priced, and the quality of their musicians were fantastic. They arrived on time (actually early) so they could practice with my relative, who had a solo during the wedding service, and they were extremely professional with her. The also provided wonderful pre-service music as the guests arrived, and also were a wonderful addition to the cocktail hour as they played then after the wedding service was over. They were dressed perfectly for the occasion in the formal concert attire and were extremely accommodating throughout. We heard nothing but compliments from our guests who loved to hear the live music. I highly recommend using their services for any upcoming wedding or other event.

e as well! I highly recommend them for your wedding!

guests were so complimentary of our choice to include live music, and I'm sure this was in no small part due to Landolfi's talent and professionalism. If there are songs you'd like them to play but are not listed on their website, you should reach out! We had several requests which ended up being in their backlog. Definitely one of my favorite parts of my wedding. :)

talented.

d not recommend them more highly.

up to the wedding was great and I had no concerns going into the wedding. We chose specific music for the ceremony, the general category of modern music covers for the cocktail hour, and the general category of classical music for dinner. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful they were, and they especially loved the modern music covers. If you want something unique, I highly recommend the modern music covers. Multiple guests took videos of the group playing and days after the wedding we are still hearing about how everyone loved this quartet. Everyone thought the quartet was well worth the money and personally I thought they were very affordable for professional musicians. Having Landolfi Quartet was one of my favorite parts of our wedding and I would recommend them without reservations to any future bride.

glorious. I would certainly recommend them for any wedding at any venue.

g planning. It's everything we wanted it to be and it added that special touch to the music.

ved a standing ovation. Landolfi was happy to aquire music for a special song requested by the bride and groom. Most importantly, they were completely professional and accommadating during a last minute change due to weather concerns. With some creative, albeit mildly chaotic chair switching, we were able to keep the musicians indoors while getting a quick ceremony in between raindrops/sleet.

ey went with the flow of the evening to not have lulls, etc.). They played our wedding and reception. The price was very reasonable, especially for the quality, and they did a great job with the songs we selected. We picked a song for our first dance they did not have available (their library is extensive!), and the fee for preparing it was also very reasonable and they did a wonderful job. When my girlfriends and I were out dancing for a few songs, one of the violinists actually popped up and joined us!!! Such a fun memory. I would pick this company and the 3 musicians they sent over and over again. If you are on the fence about strings for your event, highly recommend you go for it. We never regretted not having a DJ and going with Landolfi for the wedding and reception.

sle to it. Highly recommend

of playing "The Addams Family" theme at all of our weddings. The group orchestrated this piece, and they played it to perfection as the recessional to the ceremony. Kudos to the cellist for taking a powerful lead! We would hire this group for any future event.

dding was in a Catholic church, and the quartet was great about working with the parish music staff to ensure all the songs played were appropriate for the church setting. I would highly recommend the Landolfi Quartet to anyone!

astic and amazing!!

e they hit every mark for entrances) and kept the elegant mood going during the cocktail hour. I highly recommend this talented group of musicians!

eautiful. They were completely professional and wonderful.
