The Manhasset String Quartet was hired for our wedding at the World's Fair Pavilion, and they did a fantastic job playing the songs we wanted during our ceremony, and for the cocktail hour immediately after we requested some more modern strings music which everyone enjoyed as they were chatting and grabbing a drink. Marilyn was super responsive during the planning process via email, and the day worked out perfectly. Our guests really liked the strings music to start off our evening right. I only wish we booked them for another half hour to play during our dinner before the speeches too!

Amazing job! Affordable for a string quartet and top quality. They added such a classy touch to the ceremony and made everyone feel relaxed by playing before it started. They sent a CD with a ton of song options which was super helpful and added an elvis song that we requested as well. If you hire them, they will be extremely professional and you will not have to worry about them in the slightest the day of your wedding which is exactly what you want!
