The Symphony String Quartet from Paragon Music & Entertainment has made our wedding day enjoyable and peaceful. In the planning process, Ms.Rhonda Frascotti was the most courteous and professional answering all our questions and (now I realize unnecessary) panics. She always responds to my email quickly in the most thorough manner, and never made me feel overlooked or stupid. I've also find their music sheet helpful navigating the sequence. Their website is also designed in a helpful way -- with plenty of sample performances and FAQs. The musicians in String Quartet are not only professional, but very personal. My Mom commented the ladies were so nice and pleasant. If you are like me who realize planning details can be daunting and need good hands, please consider the String Quartet.

Pete Cary, the spanish guitarist that played for our wedding ceremony, was great. He really knew what he was doing and set exactly the mood I wanted for the ceremony. Thanks Pete, I couldn't be happier!

We got married in a non traditional location so we needed music. We hired the 3 piece strings to play at the ceremony and through cocktail hour. They did a great job accenting everything that went on. They were reasonably priced and everythign ran very smooth.

The music was beautiful and the trio is very talented, but the songs my sister requested were not played during the processional. Maybe the requests got lost along the way somewhere in the mail, but the wedding coordinator was available the entire day and they should have asked her for clarification before just assuming the bride would be OK with the wedding march for her processional.

I hired The Symphony String Quartet through Paragon Music and Entertainment. They provided the music for the wedding ceremony. They were absolutely excellent. Their music was elegant and created the perfect atmosphere I was looking for. They had a wide range of music selection from classical pieces to more contemporary ones - anything to fit your style. I highly recommend this professional and talented group. In addition, Paragon is a hub for entertainment. We only used them to hire the quartet but they also provides other entertainment services such as jugglers, dueling pianos, bands, and other novelties. So they are a very good resource for other options for your wedding or event.

We used the Paragon String Quartet for our ceremony. The music was GORGEOUS. It really added to the atmosphere of the wedding. My entrance to the music honestly felt magical. However, when I had initially started communicating with them, I had said that it would be a Catholic wedding. Then, in later paperwork, I checked the box that said "Catholic Wedding". However, I came to find out less than a week before the wedding that they would not be able to play any of the music customary in the Mass. We wound up kinda faking our way through it, and we made it work, but I really would have appreciated knowing that they would not be able to, nor would now know how to play the traditional music (i.e. the Alleluia, the Amen, the Responsorial Psalm, etc.) A word to the wise: make sure to ask about any religious music you want played.

Very professional and I had a special request of music and which they played without any problems.

They were on time and played beautifully. They played exactly the music we requested.;When I say they were on time, I mean they were ON TIME. They got there just before the ceremony (which was when they were supposed to get there), so it was a little stressful wondering IF they would get there on time. And they left right after our ceremony, even though we paid them for a whole hour (we had a very short ceremony of about 20-25 minutes), and I had told them to play during the cocktail time before the guests entered the reception area; however, the quartet just left after the ceremony (which also meant they weren't tipped, because the best man was going to tip them after the cocktail time was over... but they never even played during the cocktail time).
