Hi! Welcome to the Knot home of the Left Coast Quintet, or LCQ for short. We pretty much took this same text from our Wedding Wire site, so if you've already read about us there, then hopefully you already know all there is to know about our humble yet amazing ensemble. We are the "premier classical-ish" music group in San Diego, providing live, immersive, entertaining performances of music you will absolutely love. I'm Dan, the founder and bassoonist (the big wooden stick looking thing), and I'll be the one coordinating with you through your wedding music planning journey. My group absolutely loves music and performing, and you can pretty much tell by how comfortable we are around each other. While we might swap jokes while we are setting up, we are absolute professional musicians, each with over 25 years of performance experience with symphony orchestras, big bands, stage productions, traveling pop groups, and more. We play a wide variety of arrangements, everything from Bach to the Beatles, you'll find it in our library. We do film music (Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars, a ton of movies), jazz, Broadway, pop covers...right now we have about 700 arrangements in our tablets and that list is always growing as we have an arranger on our staff! I know many people think that the "traditional string quartet" is the go-to ensemble for providing live wedding music, and I love my string counterparts...I just think we are better. Honestly, the immersive sounds of our quintet envelope you and your guests with the memorable and warm sounds that clients and guests abolutely love at weddings - we constantly have people coming up to us during prelude or cocktail hour, and our reviews from our clients also showcase how much they and their families and friends were blown away by what we bring. Our group sounds amazing indoors or outside, we need no amplification and will not overpower your ceremony venue. So if you are a fun, unique, music lover - or if you're not a music lover but know your family and guests are - I'm excited to work with you! Send me a message and we can chat over your vision for musical ambiance, and I'll shoot you some behind the scenes secrets for the many wedding venues and vendors in town too! Cheers! -Dan
