OMG, The Encore Quartet was amazing! We asked them to play rap for cocktail hour and they absolutely delivered—it was such a fun and unexpected twist, and our guests LOVED it. Having a beautiful live quartet during our ceremony instead of just playing music made everything feel so much more special and elegant. They were super easy to book and communicate with, and honestly, I feel like they should charge more for their services—they were very reasonably priced but sounded absolutely incredible. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day!
The Encore Quartet was the perfect addition to our wedding - adding a beautiful and memorable touch to our ceremony. Not only were they fantastic the day of, they were incredibly professional and easy to work with during the planning stages. They even agreed to learn a new song for us on a shortened timeline to make our day extra special!
The Encore Quartet plays so beautifully and eloquently. They did such a good job at the ceremony and we were so happy to have them as part of our day. They even played in two different areas for the hour and a half because of how the ceremony was set up. :)
We loved the Encore Quartet, I am so grateful we had them playing beautiful music on our special day. One of my biggest regrets of the wedding day is that I was running around doing things before the ceremony began, as well as after, and didn't get enough time to actually listen and enjoy all the songs I picked out! The guests told me they sounded amazing, and the songs I was there for during the ceremony processional and recessional were perfect. Heather was so helpful during the planning and coordinating process, I appreciate her so much.
The Encore Quartet were so professional and exactly what we were looking for to elevate our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We asked if the artists can dress formally to match our guests, and they did exactly that. On top of that, their music was beyond amazing. It was such a beautiful and touching moment being able to walk down the aisle to their music. The atmosphere of cocktail hour was also very enjoyable and elevated due to the beautiful musical stylings of the artists. The playlist that we could choose from was so extensive, we are so impressed with how many songs were available to us. Thank you so much!!
Encore Quartet delivered beautiful music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They had a wide range of music we could choose from and I was also able to request a song that meant a lot to me, and they played it for my bridal entrance. All of our wedding guests enjoyed their music too and we were so thankful to have them play on our special day. Their music added another special layer to our wedding day!
Heather was great and she was so helpful with song selection. Our string trio was amazing and added such a level of elegance to our ceremony and cocktail hour. 10/10 recommend!
Encore Quartet was an amazing part of our wedding! This was a splurge that I was set on and they did not disappoint! They have such a wide selection of music to choose from and we were able to choose all of our music! My siblings sang a song during the ceremony and they were able to rehearse with them prior to the ceremony. Because of the way the venue is set up, the singers were somewhat far away from the quartet making it tough to hear and it was scary for my sisters! Thankfully, the quartet was able to follow and my sister mentioned one member even stood up to assist with the beat to ensure everyone was on beat. The worst part was that as the bride and groom, we only got to hear the quartet play for a few songs- I wish I could’ve listened to them for hours! We decided to do our first “first dance” alone with just the quartet so we could have that special moment, and they were awesome. They were so helpful in the months leading up as well with our questions. We received tons of compliments of how good Encore Quartet was. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
They were amazing!! We loved it. The music was so beautiful and they were very professional. I’m so happy they were a part of my husband and I’s wedding day!! :)
The Encore Quartet played beautiful music and made it really easy to plan what music to play for our wedding. They have a wide variety of choices in music. They did a wonderful job!
We used Encore Quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour music - they were fantastic! Truly added to the ceremony. They had great guidance in helping me decide what songs to play. Really enjoyed working with them.
They were fantastic. The music was on point and they were quick to set up and take down. Discrete. Talented.
I can't say enough good things about these ladies!
If you’re looking for a wonderful quartet that will go above and beyond it’s The Encore Quartet! We had them for our wedding on 3/17/23, at All Saints Catholic Church. They sounded so beautifully and were able to provide the perfect touch to our ceremony. If you want classical, pop, or even hip hop at your ceremony they can do it all. They have a huge song selection and will accommodate for you! Thank you all for making our wedding perfect!
Couldn't be more thrilled to have used Encore for our live music. They have a great list of songs to choose from and our entire guest list enjoyed the live music. They are timely, professional, and easy to communicate to.
Loved having The Encore Quartet at our wedding. They were very easy to work with, accommodated our requests and played beautifully on the day of.
The Encore Quartet made our wedding day so very special. It was the perfect addition to our outdoor garden ceremony and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. They were very easy to work with and they did an amazing job. My wife and I heard lots of great feedback from our guests about the quartet. Thank you so much for making our day so special!! 🌈
I would highly recommend The Encore Quartet! We had two musicians play during our ceremony and it completely set the mood and was so beautiful. We had so many compliments from our guests. Gina was so responsive during the entire planning process and always responded within a timely manner. Thank you ladies for sharing your talents with us!!
I first saw Encore at a local bridal expo and was blown away. Booking with them was so easy, they even honored their June expo coupon for my March wedding. Selecting songs was also easy, they have great music selection, repertoire guides, and lists to choose from. They arrived on time, were professional, and played beautifully - such an elegant touch to my big day. All of the guests raved about the performance.
Amazing! Professional, punctual, and organized. They were hired to play for our ceremony and it was the perfect touch to set the romantic, sunset, mood. Music sounded excellent, they were even able to customize a song for me (the bride) to walk down the aisle to. 10/10 recommend.
It was all I could have imagined. I selected The Final Countdown prior to the ceremony starting, after being postponed an entire year due to Covid, it seemed appropriate. I opened the windows inside my venue so I could hear the songs being played prior to my grand entrance! I loved the beautiful music of the trio. I highly recommend this music...it was so magical and the perfect addition to our outdoor wedding celebration! Thank you for making our day extra special!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We had the excitement of re-planning our big day with very short notice and the flexibility and professionalism from this group was top notch. They have a very large selection of songs to choose from and even have an option to request new ones if desired. Their music made our wedding ceremony come together exactly how we imagined and when I think back to our special day I can still hear them playing. I am so happy we had them play at our wedding!
We hired Encore for our ceremony and cocktail hour after my husband recommended them. They blew me away with the beautiful music that perfectly fit our wedding. Gina was very easy to work with and was extremely professional. I'm so happy that we used Encore and would recommend them to anyone who wants to add exceptional live music to their wedding.
Encore Quartet set the perfect tone for my daughter's wedding. Everyone was impressed with how beautiful the music was. They were also very helpful during the wedding process. I would not hesitate to hire them again!
The Encore Quartet was easy to work with and a great addition to our wedding!
I was very happy to hire The Encore Qurtet for my wedding reception cocktail hour. They performed a variety of music, of our choice. I would highly recommend them.
I cannot say enough nice things about The Encore Quartet! We hired them to play during our ceremony and they were easily one of my favorite parts about our wedding day. The quartet was very punctual and professional. They played absolutely beautifully. Looking back at our wedding videos their music perfectly fits in and provides the exact tone we were looking for. They have an expansive repertoire with the most beautiful music. Lastly, one of the biggest compliments we got from our ceremony was about the quartet. All guests only had wonderful things to say about them and I agree whole heartily. I couldn't recommend The Encore Quartet more!
Encore was fabulous!! I love the wide range of music they play and the fact that they can do rap songs sold me. Although I didn’t get to enjoy them as much as I wanted to since I had to do photos elsewhere while they played. What I did see and hear was fantastic. They played the songs we requested for our ceremony beautifully. They were easy to contact and schedule. Definitely recommend!
The Encore Quartet was honestly the easiest vendor to work with out of all of the ones we hired for our wedding. They were extremely professional, responsive, arrived on time, and played beautifully. We received many compliments from guests about how lovely the music was. They have a large selection of music choices to choose from, and they even have a YouTube channel to listen to them play. They were recommended by a close friend, and I would highly recommend them to anyone as well!
I loved the Encore Quartet, they were very flexible to work with, always open to any changes I needed, and of courses, they sounded amazing! They had a great selection of music, both classical and modern. As a lover of classical music, having a quartet play during my ceremony, was important. They my day extra special, and the Encore exceeded my expectations! I definitely would recommend them, and will be using them for future events.
These guys are SO TALENTED! They can play almost anything. True professionals. They were definitely one of my favorite parts of my wedding! I would HIGHLY recommend!
Truly amazing! Everyone at our ceremony and cocktail hour loved the element of live music and the Encore Quartet really helped the time pass with our 2 hour cocktail hour! Choosing the Encore Quartet was one of our best wedding decisions!!!
This quartet was a beautiful addition to my wedding. I was stressed beyond belief during the whole process, and they made it so simple to have exactly what songs I wanted, and when. My husband and I are very go-with-the-flow, and everyone was able to adjust to that and be very relaxed about some things, while at the same time catering to what songs did matter. My ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful and it's so much in part thanks to this professional group!
Gina & The Encore Quartet was fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a better quartet to do our wedding. Communicated back and forth in a timely manner and was very professional throughout the whole process. They have a plethora of songs to choose from which was great! Made our job easier on picking what we wanted for our special day!
Gina and the Encore Quartet were fantastic to work with! My wedding was in Sedona and they were willing to drive there. They played starting about 20 min before the ceremony through cocktail hour, dinner, and did the first two dances. I paid extra for 3 hours of music and for the drive, and it was so worth it! They have a wide variety of music to choose from including traditional classical, religious, pop, rock, rap, new, and old. I chose exactly what I wanted from their list (a few highlights for me were Bohemian Rhapsody, U2, Coldplay, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, John Legend, among so many more) and it was perfect for us! My guests all loved their presence as well. They are very talented. Gina was very quick to respond to email and very kind. If music holds a special place in your heart like it does mine, I highly recommend hiring them!
This quartet was superb! My husband and I had an amazing experience working with them from the very beginning. They were incredibly helpful while we were trying to decide on what songs we wanted to be played during our ceremony as well as cocktail hour. They offered suggestions for all of the different entrances, during the ceremony, and even had YouTube videos available for most of the songs that were recommended. Another reason they were so easy to work with was their organization. Everything was clearly marked, which made choosing our songs easier and us one step closer to being done with planning for the big day! Most importantly was how well they played on the day of. Each piece played was beautiful and perfect. They were dressed professionally and able to play both classical numbers as well as some fun, to-date songs! I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a string quartet!
The Encore Quartet was amazing at our wedding! Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music they played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend The Encore Quartet for your event!!!
The Encore Quartet provided beautiful music for my wedding ceremony! They worked with me to accommodate my pricing structure, and the quality was perfect. I would definitely recommend them!
Great music and reliable! Everything was beautiful!
Gina and the Quartet were absolutely incredible. They played both four our ceremony as well as our reception. Not only did WE enjoy the music but every single person that attended has mentioned how amazing and beautiful they sounded! Highly recommend!
Every piece played by the quartet was beautiful! All of our guests LOVED the quartet! Definitely would highly recommend this group!
We truly enjoyed working with the Encore Quartet! Whenever we had questions, the team always responded promptly via email and was flexible with changes &/or additions to our song list. The quartet created a perfect ambiance to our elegant evening wedding!
The Encore Quartet was phenomenal! It was easy to contact, organize, and book our wedding with them through Gina. It was a great was to add a unique touch to our wedding and our guests are still raving about their diverse mixture of music they were able to play. Thank you so much!
My husband and I were very specific about wanting a group of string players that could play acoustic rap songs. They over delivered and made our cocktail hour very memorable. I am so happy we worked with them and that they made our dream come true
The Encore Quartet was absolutely amazing to work with! Communication with them was fast and easy and they responded to my emails promptly before the wedding. They helped me pick my wedding music and were very flexible accommodating last minute changes. Day of our wedding---wow, everyone was blown away. They played absolutely beautifully before the ceremony and during the ceremony--every song was just flawless and created such a great atmosphere. We are so happy that we chose them to be part of our wedding day and I highly recommend them!
The Encore Quartet were just fabulous! Guests are still talking about the how well they performed. Everything from the booking down to the day of went perfectly. Gina is great to work with and made the whole process easy and fun!
Thank you guys!!!
The Encore Quartet did a beautiful job providing music for our wedding. They were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend them!
The Encore Quartet played at my husbands and my wedding on 12/10/16 at a Roman Catholic church. I was having trouble getting church musicians to play for the wedding so I went outside the norm of what I have seen at Catholic weddings and had instrumental music only. It was the best decision ever! All of the guests loved it! The Encore Quartet played beautifully and we got so many compliments from the guests. They loved not having a soloist and enjoyed the instrumental music. A memory I will never forget is while I was waiting for the mass to start in the bridal room. I was in the back of church and they played "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey and "Love Story" by Taylor Swift before mass. That wonderful memory is etched into my mind and I will forever remember the sound. They knew all of the parts to the Catholic mass and did not miss a beat. The wedding flowed beautifully. You will not regret having them play at your wedding or event.
I am the MOB and did all of the wedding planning for my daughter. The Encore Quartet were fabulous to work with. They supplied me with a complete list of their repertoire to choose our music. Everyone at the Wedding and cocktail hour was commenting on how fabulous they music and musicians were. We will definitely use them again for any other events we will want musicians.
The musicians from this group were a perfect fit for my singers and pianist. The Encore Quartet offers a extensive repertoire for Catholic masses. The song, The Prayer that was played when my grand daughter entered the church brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful. I was impressed by the variety of pops music and this group performs the music well. These musicians are very professional, talented and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them and would love to have them play future parties and special events.
Wow! Counldn't be happier with Encore's performance at our wedding. They were very responsive and receptive during the booking process. We booked them for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was absolutely beautiful, we requested a selection of pop and classical. Many of our guests complimented the quartet on the beautiful music and song selection! Thank you Encore Quartet!
We were so pleased with Encore’s performance at our wedding, both as a vendor and as musicians. I was a violinist for over ten years and was incredibly impressed.
The booking and coordination process was very easy ahead of time. Their coordinator, Gina, walked me through everything that was needed, as well as gave handy documents for selecting music and a nice planning sheet. We wanted traditional/classical music, but their repertoire was really diverse and impressive. They’ll also learn specific songs for you if you request it.
The day of, they arrived, set up and did their thing, it was absolutely seamless! Having live music rather than a recording really made the ceremony that much better. I was worried that music might seem weird during the lighting of the unity candle, since it’s a pretty brief process, but they knew exactly what they were doing and everything sounded beautiful and natural, it really added such a nice touch.
I highly recommend Encore for your wedding quartet, you won’t be disappointed!
Encore Quartet provided the ceremony music for my wedding at The Clayton on the Park on May 23, 2015 and it was one of my favorite parts of the day! I loved the modern songs that they played with strings as guests were filing in and leaving. I enjoyed listening to them play while I waited anxiously behind the scenes. It was also the perfect way to walk down the aisle! Our guests had many compliments after the ceremony, as they liked listening to the pop songs. I was impressed with their song selection, and my husband and I had a hard time narrowing down our choices. They were always professional to work with and responded quickly to my questions. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event!
Encore Quartet is nothing short of amazing. I worked with them (specifically Gina) for almost a year before my wedding. They went above and beyond my expectations. I met them at the bridal show in Phoenix Jan. 2014. In the packets they handed out included a CD with some of their music. I actually picked a couple of songs from the CD provided. I picked a song that wasn't on their list. Of course for a small fee they learned it and played it, and it was gorgeous. I hired them to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour (highly recommend by the way). My absolute best experience with them however, was my wedding day itself. We married on New Years Eve 2014 at Val Vista Lakes, and it was raining. I paid close attention to the weather channel the entire month leading up to it, and I knew it was going to rain (of course that was my luck. It hadn't rained in Phoenix for 2 1/2 months). Jerk face me as a client didn't call or email them, just thinking in my head they would cancel on me, if I gave them the opportunity to, due to weather, and rightfully so. I'm well aware the instruments can't get wet. They showed up, dressed very professional, after it had been raining all day long (wedding at 4pm), ready for the challenge. We were able to position them on the covered patio right outside the back doors for the ceremony. We were then able to move the cocktail hour inside and the quartet as well. If that's not flexibility I don't know what is. I whole-heartedly expected them to cancel, but they didn't. Not only was it raining, it was New Year's Eve, and they are a group of younger artists. They looked amazing with smiles on their faces, and sounded out of this world beautiful. I received so many compliments. I highly recommend Encore for your special day. They will blow you away.
I recently had the Encore Quartet perform at my wedding. I am so glad I chose them because they play so beautifully. I had a specific request where I needed the music arranged and they put it together perfectly! They are professional and talented and I'm very happy to have had them in my ceremony.
Im so happy i hired Encore! my wedding ceremony was beautiful! They did a great job! :)
The music was beyond my expectation. Cathie, even created a song piece last minute for our exit! Couldn't believe how sweet it was for her to do that when they ask for months in advance to learn a new piece. I loved it!
