I cannot say enough good things about Dan and the team at Left Coast Quintet! The entire experience of working with them was so professional and organized.
All of our guests loved the music and it made our ceremony so special. The group at Left Coast Quintet are wonderful musicians and their music adds such a unique touch to any wedding. They went out of their way to make our ceremony special; our officiant is a singer and they coordinated with him on an arrangement of a song for our ceremony. Highly recommend booking them for your wedding!
Left Coast Quintet provided music and lighting for my wedding reception at Brick. The lighting added a perfect festive ambiance after sunset. The music helped establish a celebratory vibe as everyone came together to eat and enjoy each other’s company. The communication to coordinate beforehand was clear and responsive. Dan came early to set up and test all the equipment to ensure things were ready to run smoothly before guests arrived. I am so appreciative of all his hard work and highly recommend Left Coast Quintet for any event.
Dan and his quintet were absolutely fantastic to work with. They played a beautiful set for our wedding, including guest welcome, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. The quintet was able to accommodate three different custom arrangements and played them beautifully. Dan also helped us with announcements/MC and went above and beyond to help the event run smoothly. Thank you so much, Dan and Left Coast Quintet!
I think a lot of ensembles can be hired to play music at your wedding, so looking beyond just the performance is also a must. Left Coast Quintet bring a lot of experience, and they know how to communicate with wedding planners, venues, officiants, and other pros to make sure everything transitions well during the wedding day. The music is also amazing, and getting to choose Elvis, Simon & Garfunkel, the Beatles, and some other music that I loved growing up was really special.
When I invited Left Coast Quintet to do a concert in my church's concert series, I new it would be a fun experience. But I had NO IDEA how much fun it would be. The group is highly accomplished, delightful and FUNNY! Thanks, LCQ for being a great group!
I wasn't sure what I wanted for wedding ceremony music. We thought we'd just go with some pre-recorded songs on a speaker. I met the LCQ ensemble at a wedding show and was immediately convinced this was the way to go. The way they sculpted the mood while my family arrived, and then performed beautiful custom arrangements of our favorite music, was so special. This team of musicians really are the best out there, beyond the music,they are so professional, friendly, and really care about you. Outside of my wedding planner, LCQ was the most reliable, communicative, and consistent person I dealt with.
Lovely people who play lovely music. They can play anything!
These are some of the most talented performers you'll ever meet! Having had the chance to perform alongside 4 of them in various ensembles and attending a few performances of the quintet, I can easily say you will be entertained, hear a wide selection of music, and be treated in a professional manner.
Left Coast Quintet did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding! They played prior to the ceremony starting, during the ceremony, and during cocktail hour. They have a long list of songs that they play and they even learned a new one just for us.
We had them play Disney music, Harry Potter music during our cocktail hour and our guests loved it!
We can’t thank Left Coast enough. They made our wedding extra special!
If you're looking for a vendor that is truly unique and personal, this is it! Dan and his team are friendly, kind, flexible and extremely talented. The music was just perfect for our August event!
Dan was fabulous about coordinating the plan for my wedding and his group arranged all of the music I requested. Everything turned out beautiful during the event and their group just made it even more magical!
If you are in need of music, book LCQ ASAP!
Wait, that didn’t convince you? Let me elaborate! Left Coast Quintet was an INCREDIBLE choice for our wedding. Dan and group are highly professional, supremely talented, and easy to work with.
We hired LCQ to perform for the wedding ceremony and the cocktail hour of the reception. Their list of music was impressive and included both traditional songs and whimsical choices. For us Disney/jazz fans, the options allowed us to choose unique pieces to fit our personal style. It was beautiful to see our guests (including the children) recognize Rainbow Connection, Edelweiss, We Don’t Talk About Bruno, etc. Our only regret we have is not hiring them to perform for the entire reception!
We would unequivocally recommend them to anyone who is looking for live music for any event.
The Left Coast Quintet was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. Wanting to do something different than the average wedding ceremony, we were inspired by Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" that pairs short musical movements with a narrated story. The group's main contact, Dan, was enthusiastic about the idea and graciously spent hours with us over the phone to help us perfectly pair musical selections to each segment of our ceremony from their extremely vast song list across all different genres. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out and continue to receive rave reviews from our guests!
LCQ couldn't have been better for our wedding ceremony. They played a wide variety of music, and all of it utterly beautifully. I can't recommend them highly enough for any event; they're absolutely terrific, and you won't regret working with them.
Left Coast Quintet was very punctual and easy to work with! They have a great list of repertoire for you to choose from. They played wonderfully at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Dan was the MC and DJ for the reception and everyone loved his playlist. So glad we found this group to make our wedding even more festive!
They were awesome! The music was great and I felt that they definitely elevated the whole wedding. They played all the classics and even made me my own custom arrangement to walk down the aisle to. Then Dan MCed our reception which was a great alternative to getting a DJ. I couldn't recommend them more and I think our wedding guests were really surprised by the whole thing 🤗
Highly recommended. Extremely professional, talented and put on a wonderful show at my event. Booking was a breeze and they were great people all around!
The BEST group for your wedding ceremony!!!! Dan is the most amazing coordinator to help make your day perfect. They played all of my favorites songs while our guests were arriving (HELLO DISNEY SONGS!) and they were already familiar with all 4 songs we were using for the ceremony. It was so easy and effortless to book them and they executed the songs FLAWLESSLY!!! You will not regret booking them for your big day.
Amazing! My husband and I just got married this past Saturday and we couldn’t be any happier with the Quintet. I reached out to Dan a year ago to get my “save the date” in place due to great reviews and wow did they deliver! Guests were very happy with their performance as were we. Dan was so easy to work with, answered all my questions, and absolutely made sure my Disney theme came to life. I would absolutely recommend!! Made our day extra special. Thank you so much.
Dan and his group are just amazing! We had them perform at our wedding ceremony, and they did a phenomenal job! The music was beautiful, and they did a wonderful job of creating a fun, but classy atmosphere for our guests. They were early, handled all the communication with the venue once they had the contact info, making it seriously less stressful for myself, and really put effort into helping us have the ceremony music we truly wanted. I highly recommend working with them for any event!
We hired Left Coast for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and couldn't have been more pleased! My husband really wanted to find a harpist, and me being a past cello player thought it'd be fun to find a group that incorporated both. Even though this particular grouping wasn't listed on their website, Dan said having a harp/cello/violin trio wouldn't be an issue! Dan was so easy to work with to arrange all the details. After he provided us some samples of songs, we gave him a few specific requests and asked him to fill in the rest of the time with appropriate music that went with the vibe. Having the live musicians was so great, and really set the atmosphere we were looking for. I'd highly recommend this group for any event!
We hired Left Coast Quintet to play our ceremony music at Cuvier Park this past weekend and they did a phenomenal job! My husband is extremely picky when it comes to music and he had to have a band that had a French Horn. We were so happy when we found Left Coast Quintet. Dan was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process. He seemed to always be one step ahead asking us for information and being patient when it took us a while to respond. We got so many compliments on the ceremony music and everyone was extremely impressed! Thank you Dan and the rest of the group for the beautiful ceremony music! We are so glad you were part of our big day! All of you are extremely talented!
