Landolfi Quartet

My new wife and I are both musically inclined, and have an ear for mistakes. In a chapel where sound is naturally amplified, any little mistake can become large very quickly. The 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.

Was not impressed at the wedding we heard them at, the bride was really excited for them to play. However, they seemed really out of tune, and lost. I asked her if they were friends of hers since shes a musician and she said no. After hearing them at her wedding I would not hire them for mine

If you are not a musician yourself you will probably not notice any problems with their performance. However, if you have an ear for sound or practiced yourself music in any discipline 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!

Beautiful experience. Relaxing and fun. They even played Toy Story. I can’t wait to see them again!

The Landolfi String Quartet helped make our daughter’s wedding ceremony perfect!! They worked with our accompanist, Carl Leta, and did his original compositions with him!

We hired 3 Landolfi Quartet musicians to play live music during our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was a great decision. Their online form made the process of booking them very 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.

August 10, 2024. You played for us, as a surprise gift from our son, and we both totally enjoyed your music and your professionalism while you were there. Thank you for asking us for 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"

We hired a string duo for our ceremony. They were absolutely wonderful - they played the songs we asked for and more importantly, sounded amazing. Were kind, professional, and prompt. Highly recommend!

We have nothing but good things to say about the Landolfi Quartet! They elevated our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. No regrets! My husband said they came in like ninjas, quickly 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!

I had the pleasure to hear this wonderful and uber-talented quartet in the Central West End today. They are an accommodating and humble group of musicians who played a request of mine (Tchaikovsky) quite beautifully. I hope to see more of them in the future.

Landolfi added such an elegant touch to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! They played beautifully, and all my guests enjoyed them SO much. I hope to be able to hear them play in the future. Very easy to work with and very professional. Definitely recommend this group to anyone looking for a string quartet!

Landolfi was incredible!!! Amazing ceremony and cocktail hour music, everyone loved them! Highly recommend!

Landolfi was great to work with. Easy communication via phone calls and email. We changed from 2 instrumentalists to 3 about 2 weeks before the wedding and they were great at accommodating us. They worked well with the organist and vocalist. The music was beautiful! Thank you Landolfi.

Landolfi was phenomenal! They are so talented and easy to work with. The list of songs that they are capable of playing is incredible. I would recommend Landolfi quartet to anyone looking for the perfect string quartet.

We hired the violin duet for our wedding and they were phenomenal. Unfortunately our outdoor wedding was moved indoors due to rain, but they were super flexible about moving. We also 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.

I could not have asked for a better experience from the Landolfi Quartet at my daughter's wedding this past weekend at Sugar Springs Ranch. They were extremely easy to work, very 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.

I received SO many compliments from my guests for Landolfi Quartet. They knew so many songs, and were able to perfectly match the vibe I wanted. Their pricing is fair and reasonable as well! I highly recommend them for your wedding!

Landolfi Quartet always does a great job. They showed up on time and are easy to work with to organize the music. They sounded beautiful inside of the Jewel Box.

Loved working with Landolfi for our wedding! We had them during our ceremony and the dinner portion of our reception. They played so beautifully, and coordination was so easy. Our 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. :)

Highly recommend! They played for our Catholic ceremony. Almost all of our guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony music was. Landolfi was easy to work with, and they are so talented.

Wonderful music, a wise selection of every type! Our wedding guests loved them!

Deberah and her team with great to communicate and work with! We hired her team (quartet) for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour - they were fantastic (and reasonable)! We could not recommend them more highly.

If you are thinking of booking a string quartet, book Landolfi Quartet. We booked them for 4 hours for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Their communication leading 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.

Landolfi handled all of the music for our son's wedding and did a wonderful job. From the picking of music to the actual ceremony they were wonderful to work with and the music was glorious. I would certainly recommend them for any wedding at any venue.

This quartet was amazing! They played before, during, and after our wedding on 6/9/23. Everyone thought they were amazing. They were a pleasure to work with and took requests during planning. It's everything we wanted it to be and it added that special touch to the music.

We were really pleased with their performance day of and how easy they were to work with leading up to it!

This is a must have special touch for your wedding. The guests were so impressed with the musical ambiance provided during the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, the quartet received 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.

I cannot say enough lovely things about Landolfi and the 3 musicians they sent for our wedding!! They were great quality (in tune, played perfectly, breaks were appropriate and they 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.

Great addition to our wedding day, everything they played was beautiful. They even arranged a song for me (it’s a punk rock song) on sting instrument, so I could walk down the aisle to it. Highly recommend

We loved the touch Landolfi Quartet added to our wedding. The duo we had played beautiful music and did a great job!

The Landolfi Quartet did an amazing job at my son and daughter-in-love's wedding. Their playlist was extensive and a mix of classical and contemporary. Our family has a tradition 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.

The Landolfi Quartet did a wonderful job performing at my wedding ceremony. The music sounded incredible, and we received many compliments on the quartet after the ceremony. Our wedding 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!

This quartet played at my friends wedding and was absolutely fantastic! I was amazed at their versatility of music played. I could go on and on but I would just keep repeating fantastic and amazing!!

They were amazing! A great blend of well known songs! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them play!

Such an amazing and professional group of musicians. They greeted our guests with a wide variety of both current and classical selections, played during the wedding ceremony (where they hit every mark for entrances) and kept the elegant mood going during the cocktail hour. I highly recommend this talented group of musicians!

Landolfi did a fantastic job. We booked the trio for our ceremony and they were so easy to work with. Super helpful with finding the songs we wanted, and the music was absolutely beautiful. They were completely professional and wonderful.

Landolfi Quartet is a must! We had a beautiful outdoor wedding at Sunset Country Club in St. Louis and Landolfi was amazing to work with and provided the elegance we wanted for our special day! Thank you so much Landolfi! Susanne and Marty Tobben

Very professional, and at a reasonable price point. They were even able to arrange a piece for me that was not in their normal repertoire. Sounded great and provided a lovely ambiance for the wedding reception!

The music was great and they were extremely easy to work with!

The string trio from Landolfi was simply perfect! Our son's wedding was an hour outside of St. Louis but they made the trip. They were professional and made the afternoon so special. I highly recommend them.

The Landolfi Quartet was so professional and great to work with. The guests loved the range of music played and commented on the unique tunes they played on their instruments. I am so glad to have hired them!!!!!!

Contemporary and classical arrangements. Well rehearsed and very professional. Kids were spellbound.

We hired them for the St Louis Art Fair kickoff party. They played beautifully and were very kind to everyone. I heard multiple compliments throughout the evening about their song choices and of course their talent. I can't imagine a better music ensemble to play at our event!

We just can’t stop raving about Landolfi (our guests too)! They are nothing short of amazing! They played at our small wedding and really made the whole event for us. They were so kind and flexible leading up the wedding (our wedding was rescheduled twice due to COVID) and just as kind and flexible on our big day (nothing went as planned). The music was perfect and they are obviously very talented musicians! Tom arranged two wedding songs for us and they were just absolutely amazing and everything we hoped for! Highly recommend this group and now we’re looking for reasons to hire them again :)

Landolfi String Quartet was perfect for our wedding ceremony on 4/9. They were so accommodating and flexible to work with after our wedding celebration had to get postponed from last year. So many of our guests came up to tell us how much they loved the music. Patrick and I highly recommend hiring them for your special day or special event. They were the perfect extra touch of magic to our ceremony!

Choosing Landolfi was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day at the Caramel Room St. Louis. The group was extremely easy to work with and flexible with our ever changing plans due to COVID. We gave them detailed requests for some music and broad requests for other times. They were able to deliver everything we asked for! I always dreamed my wedding would be fun, but classy. The Landolfi quartet was the perfect decision to complete my wedding vision. They were also very reasonably priced, so it was a no brainer. Highly recommend adding them to make your wedding day perfect!

I always wanted a string quartet to play at my wedding ceremony and Landolfi delivered! We had them play mostly pop music and every arrangement was beautiful. They arranged an amazing version of a song I requested for when I walked down the aisle—definitely worth the money. Overall, Landolfi was incredible. One of my favorite details from my wedding day!

We booked the Landolfi string trio for our wedding ceremony. They were extremely professional and were one of the easiest vendors we worked with throughout our wedding planning process- I provided them with our list of music selections and they took care of the rest! The music was absolutely beautiful- we had a few more contemporary songs before the ceremony and then traditional music during as it was a church wedding. I would highly recommend them!

I am a professional violinist who plays in many weddings, and I believe Landolfi is the best of the best in their niche. They were extremely friendly and professional every step of the way. Landolfi's beautiful music impressed everyone at our wedding, and my wife and I received numerous glowing compliments about their playing! We chose several special songs from their enormous, well-organized playlist. They took care of everything for me and my wife, it was so easy to just relax and enjoy their amazing music. I'd highly recommend Landolfi Quartet to anybody seeking elegant music in the St. Louis area!! Thank you so much, Landolfi!

We had a duet (cello & violin) at our wedding and they were exceptional!! Really added a classy, elegant air to our wedding ceremony. Communication during the planning process was clear and quick. Definitely recommend!

Landolfi played absolutely beautiful music for our wedding at our Church. Our ceremony started a little late and I was told from guests that they didn’t mind at all because the music was just that beautiful and soothing! Deb and the rest of the team was so great to work with! They set up a zoom meeting with us too to discuss exactly what we wanted! Go look at their videos on their pages, they sound incredible.

Landolfi was such a joy to have at our wedding! We used a trio and our guests really enjoyed the music. They arrived on time, communication was simple and quick, played beautifully, and they were very professional. Thanks Landolfi!

They were lovely to work with, organized and everything was completely perfect for our ceremony. Thank you!
