ng 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 p...
rofessional 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!

g 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!

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!! :)

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 ...

All guests only had wonderful things to say about them and I agree whole heartily. I couldn't recommend The Encore Quartet more!

h 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 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 out...
side 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.
