They were wonderful! Easy to book and work with, and WELL worth the money. They added a wonderful flair to our day and everyone commented on how wonderful they sounded.
QCQ was the perfect addition to our wedding. Professional, courteous and amazing musicians!
They were so easy to communicate with and were amazing at their job!
They were absolutely magical!! They set such an amazing atmosphere for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They also were so helpful in helping to clarify what Star Wars songs they had. As a violin player myself, I can attest they were all highly skilled and fully delivered!
We used Queen City Quartet for our wedding on 1/6/24 and they were amazing! We only had them for the prelude and the actual ceremony, but they made the process flawless. Would recommend booking them for any wedding or event!
Don’t think about it…BOOK THEM. They played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were something straight out of a fairy tale, so talented and great to work with. Having them play brought on emotions I didn’t know I was going to have walking down the aisle and my now husband said the same thing.
We are so incredibly happy that we found Queen City Quartet and chose them to play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were easy to work with and get in contact with. Booking with them was super simple and straightforward and their repertoire of songs was massive. We are so thankful that they helped us live out our fairytale on our wedding day!
We are so happy that we choose Queen City Quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were incredibly easy to work with and the music was STUNNING. I could hardly make it down the aisle without tearing up. They also had a great list of songs to choose from- both contemporary and classics. My only regret was that I didn't get to hear much of the cocktail hour.
Queen City Quartet did an AMAZING job at our wedding at Ault Park! They did our ceremony as well as cocktail hour and our guest were raving about how talent and enjoyable the music was. We had them stick to the contemporary set list and it could not have been more perfect! On top of that, Chrissy was so responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend booking this group, you will not regret it!
We hired the Queen City Quartet for our June wedding at the Cincinnati Art Museum and we are so happy we found them. They were phenomenal! They did a custom arrangement during our ceremony and it turned out beautiful. They were easy to work with and they have great songs to choose from.
We received so many compliments on the music from our guests. I would highly recommend hiring them for your wedding!
Queen City Quartet were fabulous on our wedding day! I knew I wanted strings during the ceremony for a classic and romantic feel, and I'm so glad we chose this group. I was super impressed by their repertoire and selections of classical and more modern songs. Loved that I could have current music played on strings! Anything they don't know you can ask them to learn for a small fee, which was a nice touch to customize your day even more. Although I didn't get to hear a lot of it until I got to the aisle, I've heard nothing but rave reviews from my family and guests. Even hearing my song as I began walking down the aisle contributed to the major butterflies I already had. I couldn't have asked for a better team!
Great addition to our ceremony/cocktail hour, hassle free and provided everyone with beautiful music.
They did a perfect job at our October wedding! Very easy to communicate with and very happy with their performance!
I heard Queen City Quartet play at a wedding and they were awesome. Their selection was so original for the happy couple and matched their uniqueness to a T! I liked their performance so much that I hired them to play my daughter’s wedding. The were so professional and gracefully elegant. Their music set as beautiful tone of celebration and joy. Im so thankful they could play for us.
Always on time, professional and excellent musicians. Accommodating and a fun group!
If you are looking for a beautiful Quartet for your big day look no further! I have been in the event planning business for 10 years and was blown away with their professionalism and vast music selections. I got several compliments from guests and it made the day extra special
Queen City Quartet was fantastic on our wedding day. We had them play before, during, and after our ceremony during cocktail hour. They were very responsive, organized, and easy to work with. They were even able/willing to add a new song to their repertoire that was personal to us, although their list was already very long of both classical and contemporary pieces. We received many compliments from our guests on their performance. We would definitely recommend them to other couples looking to add a sophisticated, personal touch to their wedding!
They did a fantastic job with our ceremony and cocktail hour! They have a great selection, do a good job with it, and even accommodated a couple of special requests that we had! Would definitely recommend.
Queen City Quartet made our ceremony and cocktail hour so special. The music was beautiful and really added to the ambiance. We got a ton of compliments about them! Chrissy and her team were super easy to work with, very reliable, and honestly so talented.
Queen City Quartet was super easy to work with and they were such a beautiful addition to the wedding. We hired them for the ceremony and cocktail hour, where we were able to customize the selections ahead of time (and we had a very sizable repertoire to choose from). They played beautifully, and I would highly recommend them!
Having a live quartet at my wedding was a dream I had from the moment I got engaged. Queen City Quartet was so incredibly talented, friendly, and easy to work with! Having live music during our ceremony made it that much more magical! My husband and I even snuck a quiet moment alone to listen to the music during the cocktail hour!
I can’t say enough nice things about Chrissy and her team. Our guests went on and on about how having a live quartet for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner was one of their favorite parts of our wedding. Not only was the music beautiful, but Chrissy communicated very quickly and kindly every time I had a question (this was extremely helpful, especially due to the pandemic and having to postpone our wedding!). They offered both classical and contemporary musical selections. If you’re looking for elegant, live music for your wedding, book Queen City Quartet. You’ll be thrilled you did.
Played beautifully at our daughter's wedding and reception!!! Cannot say enough good things about them!!!!
They played at my sister's wedding and were fantastic! I could not recommend them enough - the music was beautiful, the band members were kind and fun.
Queen City Quartet was wonderful. Chrissy was easy to work with and the group has a large selection of music to choose from. Their playing enhanced the beauty of my daughter's wedding.
It was an easy and simple process work with Queen City.
Queen City Quartet is so easy to work with and has a large choice of classical and contemporary selections. It provided a perfect touch of elegance for the ceremony!
The entire experience working with Queen City Quartet was wonderful. Chrissy was so easy to work with in setting everything up and we could not have been more thrilled with the music experience for our wedding ceremony. We received a lot of compliments from our guests. Thank you to Queen City Quartet!
Our daughter was married one week ago at the Cincinnati Club. Working with Chrissy and The Queen City Quartet was not only seamless but it was one of the best decisions we made in planning! They are awesome and their music is simply wonderful! They are incredibly talented musicians! Chrissy was accessible, responsive, flexible and calming leading up to the wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event!
My daughter got married in Cincinnati at the Rhinegeist Brewery. We were looking for a quartet and this group came highly recommended from others. They arrived early to set up and provided a wide range of musical pieces. They played before, during, and at the cocktail hour. We wanted something serene and classic for the wedding. They did not disappoint us. They were very professional as well as personable with our guest.
Queen City Quartet went above and beyond to make my wedding the most special day imaginable! Their professionalism, flexibility, and expansive repertoire captured every nuance during the prelude, ceremony, and cocktail hour. Friends and family are still talking about the music!
The Queen City quartet is amazing. We used them for the ceremony portion of our wedding and the music was so beautiful. They have a great selection of music to choose from and are very easy to work with. I highly recommend
them for your wedding or event!!
The Queen City Quartet provided the ceremony and cocktail hour music for our wedding and did a spectacular job! We had a Christmas-themed musical selection and Chrissy went out of her way to make sure the best musical options were available to us and were very easy to work with as we tailored the ceremony to our specifications. Would highly recommend!
The Queen City Quarter sounded beautiful and were super easy to work with. I'd certainly recommend them for a top tier wedding ceremony.
Queen City Quartet played the wedding ceremony music for my daughters wedding. WOW how wonderful they were. The music was beautiful and Queen City Quartet was so professional. Our guests were all so impressed. Deciding to hire the quartet was one of our best wedding planning decisions.
The Queen City Quartet was lovely to work with; I didn't have to worry about a single thing, except for picking the music! I had several guests comment how much they enjoyed the pre-ceremony/ceremony music that they played. They played a lovely string version of a classic Disney song for my processional, which was just fantastic. Great experience!
Chrissy with Queen City Quartet was extremely helpful and responsive while building out our ceremony “playlist”. We received so many compliments on the contemporary music selection, which spanned from Coldplay to The Lumineers to Walk The Moon to Bruno Mars. Not only did they take the time to fully customize my ceremony, but they executed flawlessly.
The Queen City Quartet were absolutely fantastic. Their musicianship was brilliant, and they were a joy to work with. We took forever to finalize the various pieces of music we wanted, and the Queen City Quartet learned all of them and played them all perfectly. We would absolutely use them again.
The Queen City Quartet was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding ceremony. They did an incredible job of working with us prior to the event, by clarifying what exactly we wanted performed as well as how we wanted it specifically played. The music at the ceremony was truly beautiful and we received many compliments from guests who attended. They have such a wide variety of selections for both contemporary and classical music, making it easy to choose a playlist that is specific to your personal style. If you are looking for an ensemble within the Cincinnati area, you will not go wrong in choosing Queen City Quartet!
They did a great job and were wonderful to work with. Beautiful music and professional. I would recommend them 100%!
Queen City Quartet was absolutely phenomenal. They were incredibly prompt and professional in all communications and also provided their expertise to ensure our wedding ceremony music was beautiful and also unique to us. On the day of, they were also creative and problem solved when we had guests arriving late and the need to prolong our prelude. They did this seamlessly! We would highly recommend them!
Queen City Quartet is the true meaning of perfection. Their pricing is great, they responded back with any questions or concerns I had and totally made me feel at ease with my whole experience. Our wedding ceremony was so magical and beautiful and they were such a huge part in making that happen. I will always recommend them first to anyone I know who needs them and cannot thank them enough for being apart of our special day. our guests were all bragging about how great they were and how they added such an elegant touch to our wedding day. you all are awesome and we were so blessed to have your team there. Thanks again !!
We were so glad we chose Queen City Quartet. The music was so beautiful & everything we imagined. We received SO many compliments on the music. I would recommend Queen City Quartet over and over again!
I am so glad we had the Queen City Quartet play at my daughter’s wedding. Their beautiful music truly brought all of the planned details of the ceremony to life! They were have a wide variety of music and were very helpful in planning our selections. They were prompt to the ceremony and very professional. I already have them booked for my next daughter’s wedding.
The Queen City Quartet played at my son's wedding. They were a perfect addition to the ceremony, bringing it to a different level. The guests all commented on the beautiful music and the great mix of songs. The whole process from the beginning to end was so easy. Wonderful to work with and very professional. Highly recommend.
Queen City Quartet played beautiful music for my ceremony and cocktail hour at the Phoenix that really took it up a notch. They made the ceremony beautiful and made it be the ceremony of my dream. They were great to work with and I would 100% recommend them to any of my family and friends. I started booking vendors in 2016 for my 2018 and they were one of the few that actually responded to email. I loved all their song choices(both classical and pop). Made it super personalized and special and got a lot of compliments.
The Queen City Quartet was amazing to work with for my daughter's wedding. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the music was during the ceremony. They played all of the songs we requested. The music made the ceremony so special.
I'm a wedding planner who has had the pleasure of working with Queen City Quartet on several occasions - not only do I love working with them, my clients do as well! They always blow me away when I hear them play and love that they offer my clients such a large selection of music (classic to modern). Highly recommended!!
Queen City Quartet was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on April 14, 2018. They were professional, quick to respond, and helpful when making music selections. To top it off, the music was flawless and beautiful. They have a great selection of modern music as well which came in handy for our cocktail hour! People are still talking about what a wonderful touch it was to have live music played during the processional, etc. I would recommend them to any family or friend!
Queen City Quartet was the perfect selection for our ceremony music. Communication during planning was prompt and clear, and all of the music (both our contemporary and classical selections) sounded great on the big day. The group even improvised with another song when there was a sight delay before beginning the ceremony. They just happened to pick my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding song, which was a really sweet coincidence and a great save—appreciated by the entire wedding party! All of our guests loved the contemporary selections Queen City Quartet played during seating at our wedding, and of course the classical pieces were...classic (and very well executed)! I loved the balance of class and fun that Queen City Quartet brought to our otherwise pretty casual event, and I would reccommend the group to any other couple.
Queen City Quartet were wonderful, we used them for our wedding this past November 2017 for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They have a wide variety of music selection, from traditional, classical and contemporary, and are open to suggestions of additional music to add if they can find the sheet music. Chrissy was very accomodating to adding additional music and went above and beyond. She answered emails within a timely manner - I would definitely use again and recommend to others!
Just AMAZING! Working with Queen City Quartet was so easy and they made the process stress free. They were able to play all the songs I requested, may of which they had to learn just for the wedding. Our guests raved about the music! The songs I dreamed about being played as the bridal party and I walked down the aisle came to life. You can't go wrong with this group- they will help make your wedding day or event amazing!
When I think of Queen City Quartet, I think of my first dance with my husband: hearing the beautiful strings behind us, over the silence of the guests, and feeling so intimate and beautiful in that moment. When music is performed well, it can bring out emotions - and I felt so many with Queen City Quartet on our wedding day! I remember hearing them during cocktail hour, and wanting to wrap up photos so I could go over and listen! The way the play will draw you in. Chrissy Bender was incredible to work with, as our special request was a cover of our first-dance song, with an added layer of complexity: adding a Tabla player (a drummer) to their quartet for the cover! She sent a rehearsal recording, they worked with the artist, and they played beautifully on our big day! They play the classics, but also offer an amazing list of pop/top hits that were so fun to pick from! I loved pulling from those for our cocktail hour. I would highly suggest Queen City Quartet for any tri-state couples considering a quartet on their big day, or for any occasion! Very professional, and a job well done!
The Queen City quartet was the perfect choice for our wedding! We were able to have both contemporary and classical music for the ceremony- It was the best combination of all the songs we both love. And they played absolutely beautifully!
Queen City Quartet was an absolutely amazing addition to our wedding. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out which sting ensemble to use... what really made the difference for me was their wide selection of music, not just classical music but the newer stuff too. I was able to create an unforgettable song list that I am still getting compliments on. Thank you for being so flexible and accommodating. If you are on the fence on who to have for your ceremony and cocktail entertainment I would highly recommend hiring this talented group. Thank you so much.
We hired the Queen City Quartet for our wedding and cocktail hour at the Newport Aquarium. They were great! We opted for classical music before and during the ceremony and then contemporary music for the cocktail hour. I really enjoyed listening to them play again when we watched our wedding video. We have heard many compliments on their music.
Absolutely amazing. Queen City Quartet played beyond our expectations and made our dream ceremony come to life!
I saw Queen City Quartet play at my friends wedding and immediately knew I wanted them for mine as well. They just played for my ceremony on 6/3/17 and were fantastic. Communication was pretty easy and picking my songs was a breeze, you just do it online. I just wish I was able to hear more of their songs for my own ceremony! But since I was the bride this time, I was hidden way in the back. But a lot of my guests said they loved it! I would highly recommend them for anyone for their wedding!
We hired the Queen City Quartet to play during our wedding ceremony. They were amazing! They learned the Game of Thrones theme song so I could walk down the aisle to it! It was perfect and so many of our guests were amazed by the sound quality. I highly recommend Queen City Quartet!
Queen City Quartet was amazing to work with from start to finish. They were very responsive to all communication and their planning guide made picking music out simple. They did a great job at the wedding and the ambiance of the live music made our wedding that much more perfect! Thank you Queen City!
