Ovation String Quartet - Best of Weddings 2018 and 2019

ed, and supportive throughout the planning process. They have an extensive and amazing selection of music in their repertoire. We are so happy we chose Ovation String Quartet and cannot recommend them enough!

sounded beautiful. I would highly recommend!!!!!

r responsive and went above and beyond to compose several custom arrangements for our pre-wedding music. She and her team also composed Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen for my bridal processional, which was absolutely magical and everything I dreamed of when I walked down the aisle. Highly recommend for any event if you are looking for talented musicians who are able to take your special day to the next level!

as magical to have them perform and we are so grateful for them. It was easy to book, plan, and communicate which made the process even better. I highly recommend booking them at your wedding or next event.

also very communicative with the booking and planning process, which was very helpful!

re so happy they performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour. I would 100% recommend!

e from and Ovation String Quartet learned several new pieces that were very special to us. Laurie was great to work with and was very responsive with our questions.

ready lengthy repertoire upon request that sounded absolutely beautiful! We received so many compliments on how much their gorgeous playing added to the evening and I can't recommend them highly enough.

amended wedding date finally arrived, our guests very much enjoyed the wide range of music that they offered, from the traditional wedding march to the Beatles to the White Stripes; and they worked with us to select music that was a reflection of my husband and I. A memory I will never forget is during the hustle and bustle of the cake cutting they cued up "Grow Old With You" from the movie the Wedding Singer, which is a favorite of ours' and a request that they took time to master during the postponement. Ovation String Quartet played a large part in making our wedding day lovely and I couldn't recommend them more!

tened to them all night. The guests raved about them as well. Like so many, our daughter's wedding was postponed in 2020. Laurie was great to work with throughout this time as well as when the wedding was rescheduled. She was very professional and kept in communication with us throughout 2020-2021. This was so reassuring & definitely made me realize how fortunate we were to have Ovation String Quartet as part of my daughter's big day.

were also very flexible considering we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE due to COVID. In case you are wondering, their playing was beautiful. If you are looking for a group of high quality professional musicians, look no further.

ectly! It was stress free and beautiful!

hich was nice to narrow down to exact pieces my wife and I wanted (and the group was very accommodating to new pieces and arrangements). The group was exceptionally punctual and can masterfully improvise as was the case when our short 30 second unity ceremony ended up being several minutes due to weather 😁. The quartet did an excellent job and I cannot recommend them enough!

ing the whole presentation seamless. Their communication while coordinating our arrangement was impeccable as well, not to mention the two slightly unique songs they customized for our ceremony. My husband teared up just from listening to the digitalized version of his walk out song! I 100% recommend Ovation String Quartet to anyone looking for live string music during their wedding or any other special celebration.

ade it difficult to pick which of our favorites we wanted to hear! Laurie was very easy to work with and communication was great. We were blown away that they learned our song and played it as we walked down the aisle! Very talented and professional. We would highly recommend!

f 100 and the duo was perfect. We were worried about the rain but worked it out with Laurie and found a canopy for cover so that they could play. It worked out great. Our guests loved the live instrumental music! I walked down the aisle to Beauty and the Beast's Tale As Old As Time and it was beautiful. I just wished I had walked slower to hear more of it! :)

er. It was the perfect touch to our ceremony and cocktail hour and a memory we will have for years to come. It added an elegant feel to our wedding. They were so kind and easy to work with and very affordable! We would recommend them to anyone!

so much room for customization to make your special day special for you. Outside of our ceremony we didn't have a lot of specifics we wanted so they did a great job making a set that created the perfect atmosphere for our day. Our officiant already asked for their contact info to recommend them to other couples he has! My mom felt pretty strongly about having live music and she couldn't have been more right, especially since we had a morning ceremony in a historic mansion and didn't want a dance party, a string quartet was the perfect fit and Laurie and her team knocked it out of the park!

music to choose from and are also willing to learn new pieces that you have in mind! I would highly recommend working with Ovation String Quartet for your wedding!

per easy. Laurie sent us a checklist around the 6-month mark, and it was straight forward. My fiancé and I had a great time opening a bottle of wine and Youtubing their expansive music collection available. Our guests really enjoyed listening to the strings and we got tons of compliments all night about how lovely it was. It was a great topic with our guests and we really enjoyed hearing what was our guests’ favorite songs. I would highly recommend the ensemble to anyone looking for some strings for their wedding.

em enough for how beautifully they played. We highly recommend them and would definitely book them again.

edding; you will not regret it! Our guests continue to comment on how much they enjoyed the music.

uestions I had got responses back immediately. They were on time and played beautifully! Our reception was at a different venue, and they set up fast and played more. If I were to do this again, I would definitely choose Ovation, hands down!

l options available, but they also have a comprehensive list of many genres for you to pick from if you're not sure where to start. They are also a very fair price. Highly recommend!

they even worked with my friend to accompany her as she sang “Ave Maria.” Ovation brought an element to the ceremony that I will constantly talk about when it comes to what made our day so incredibly special. My dad and I listened before they opened the doors for us to walk down the aisle, and we were blown away by what we heard. There was not a dry eye in the church! They are amazing and I highly recommend them!

dibly helpful and responsive to my emails. I had a Jewish wedding and it was so great meeting with Laurie to discuss our ceremony and the symbolism behind some of the songs we chose. She did an incredible job of arranging the song I requested and everything flowed perfectly! I still get a little choked-up remembering walking down the aisle to the beautiful music of Pachelbel Canon and all my friends and family standing up around me. Working with Ovation String Quartet was by far one of my best wedding decisions and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have both beautiful music and warm and friendly musicians part of their wedding day.

bsolutely loved working with them. I felt so confident with their ability (I saw them both perform prior to our wedding). We received so many compliments on them. Our guests said walking in and hearing their music made them feel like they were in a wedding out of a fairytale. Their music and ability is beautiful and they were so accommodating. I selected a few songs that weren't on their song list and they were so happy to learn a new song. I was worried about the song I selected for my bridal procession (different than the bridal party) because I thought I would be down the aisle before the song even picked up - I didn't even mention it to them and they came up with the idea to shorten the song so that by the time I was walking down the aisle, they were already in the chorus. I'm bummed that I didn't get to hang out and listen to them during the prelude (since I was hidden from all the guests). Having them at our wedding was such a great touch and they did such a beautiful job. I highly highly highly recommend them. They were one of our few vendors that I never worried about and didn't feel like they needed any direction because they were SO professional and experienced. HIRE THEM!!!

e piece for free (I think you get an arrangement or two as part of your contract) and though they only got to rehearse with them just before the ceremony started, sounded incredible!! they are also extremely flexible, offering to do a trio instead of a quartet to better fit my budget. You won't notice much as you walk down the aisle, but I distinctly remember Ovation's beautiful music!

was. Thank you Laurie and team for providing the perfect ceremony music!!

make custom arrangements! When they arrived to the venue, they said they needed shade. I was only told they needed chairs without arms. This placed stress on the venue coordinator to find something, as if she didn’t have enough going on. The week before my wedding I made sure that all they needed was chairs without arms and they confirmed this. It was just stress on the venue coordinator. I think they could have sent a reminder email the week of the wedding as all other vendors did. Again, gorgeous music and I would recommend them hands down. Just remember they need a shaded area if your wedding is outdoors.

Ovation also made an arrangement for me to walk down with my dad to and it was perfect! Thank you for making our ceremony even more beautiful!

o have some sort of live music! We had ovation play 30 min before our ceremony through the end of cocktail hour. We had a mix of classic and contemporary and they nailed it all! They were so professional and also extremely talented! I couldn’t recommend them more!

to work with, and very accommodating of our request for them to accompany a French Horn soloist during our ceremony. They were able to coordinate with the soloist as well as assemble the music for the wedding day with limited direction from me. Thank you OSQ for helping to make our wedding so special!

s simply amazing. She quickly responds to emails and overall, provides top notch customer service. We couldn’t have had a better experience preparing for the big day, especially when it came time to discussing the songs for the ceremony and cocktail hour. This group is professional, talented (also affordable) and everything a couple could dream of having in a wedding string quartet. I would hands down recommend Ovation Strings!

talented. Laurie is flexible, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Given enough lead time, she can accommodate pretty much any request you may have. In addition, their rates are significantly more reasonable than some of their local competitors. If strings are a "must-have" at your event--as they were at ours--we simply can't recommend this group more highly. Our only gripe is that we didn't get to enjoy their performance until it was our time to walk down the aisle :) They often have public performances where you can check them out before booking, which I'd recommend if for no other reason than for a nice afternoon date. Even if you don't get a chance to see them in person first, you can book with confidence. I think they were one of the most worthwhile investments of our wedding and I'm confident you'll feel the same.

to our ceremony.

hat I asked for. My guests were impressed. I highly recommend them.

he music was. Laurie was so easy to work with and was very responsive to my numerous questions/emails, which is so nice when you're working with so many people. I highly recommend Ovation Strings and will make everyone remember your event!!

n song played and the group pulled through flawlessly. The guests really enjoyed them. You won't regret hiring Ovation!

pertoire and selecting a unique mix of songs for our ceremony. They played before, during and briefly after the ceremony. Our good friend even joined as a vocalist for one of the songs. Our guests loved our live musicians and of course we did too. The quartet was up for any challenge and seamlessly improvised to accommodate our timing the day of. Would highly recommend for any couple looking for a lively ceremony compliment - or even more traditional selection. They have a very diverse portfolio of music for any setting.

it so well with our wedding and were a part of our entire day.
