Christina is amazing! The quartet uplifted the elegance of our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. There was not a dry eye in the entire place. She was so easy to work with and we do not regret adding live music to our wedding day!
Three Rivers String Quartet was fantastic to work with! They did an excellent job coordinating, and even managed to work in a few custom requests for our ceremony. Our guests loved the contemporary music played for the cocktail hour! Would recommend for every wedding.
I have one word… WOW! This string quartet was the icing on the cake at our wedding ceremony. They played each piece so beautifully, I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house. Christina is so easy to communicate with and so professional and reliable. It was the perfect addition to our ceremony.
The Three Rivers String Quartet was a beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony and reception. Not only are they an extremely talented group of musicians, but they are also easy to work with and very responsive throughout the wedding planning process. Christina held a virtual meeting with us in the month leading up to our wedding so that we could discuss exactly what sort of soundtrack we wanted for the ceremony as well as our cocktail hour. As per our request, they played classical music for the prelude, procession, and recession during the ceremony, and then they played popular love songs during our cocktail hour. We are so happy with our decision to hire the Three Rivers String Quartet for our wedding day!
They were magnificent, accommodating., reachable, personable. Can’t say enough good about them. They turned our ceremony and cocktail hour into an elegant event that I would do over and over again.
Three Rivers String Quartet was so easy to work with. During the planning stages, they were very communicative and easy to work with. They took all requests in stride. The day of, they had plenty of good insights about timing in order to make the big event run smoothly and were so obliging in moving their chairs and coming down for the reception. I highly recommend 3RSQ for your next event!
We hired Three Rivers String Quartet for our wedding. With all the changes that COVID brought along, Christina was beyond accommodating. She thoroughly communicated with us timely, had helpful suggestions, was professional, and above all the quartet’s talent was recognized by all of our (socially distanced and masked up) wedding ceremony guests. I cannot recommend them enough. They even learned 2 songs specifically for our celebration. They truly made our day unique and we are so thankful!
Great music and easy to work with! Christina made sure every detail of the music was perfect! We even had a special song we wanted played and she found it and it sounded amazing.
Christina and the Three Rivers Spring Quartet were fabulous to work with. We recently got married @ The National Aviary last weekend 10/12/19 and the process was seamless. The music was beautiful and I wish I could have gotten a chance to say hello in person!
Three Rivers String Quartet is absolutely incredible.
We received so many compliments on our ceremony and how the string quartet was the cherry on top. Christina was extremely responsive and helpful during the planning process. Highly recommend if you're looking to elevate your ceremony or cocktail hour!
Music was key in enhancing our beautiful ceremony at the Carnegie Museum. The Three Rivers String Quartet members are exceptional musicians without question, but they were also easy to work with, very organized, and completely professional. They have an extensive repertoire and will also add songs that are not on their list. We were so happy that they were available for our wedding.....they lived up to our high expectations!
Three Rivers did an AMAZING job at our wedding! They even played songs that were not in their repertoire but that we had specifically requested before the wedding. We could not have asked for more.
The quartet played at my wedding a couple weeks ago, and I received so many compliments from guests. It was so nice to have live music to really make the ceremony special.
Three Rivers String Quartet made our wedding day absolutely perfect! They are extremely professional and are extraordinary musicians. Their repertoire is extensive, and almost every song we dreamed of having for our ceremony and cocktail hour was already there. We had one special request for the bride walking down the aisle, and they were amazing and learned the song. They really went above and beyond to make our day perfect. And afterwards, so many of our guests told us how much they loved the music and that it was one of their favorite parts of the whole day. Can't recommend strongly enough!!
Three Rivers String Quartet was so, so easy to work with and really added so much to my ceremony. It was actually a lot of fun to look through their (huge!) list of songs they can play to decide on the music I wanted, and they exceeded all of my expectations when it came to the ceremony and I heard them play in person. They played a mixture of classical and more modern songs, all impeccably and with such comfort and ease. Without a doubt would recommend them to anyone that wants authentic and beautiful music at their ceremony, and I’m so glad I didn’t just decide to go with a music recording for the ceremony like I had seen at some other weddings — it makes all the difference, and I would recommend again and again!
As a gift to my daughter I booked the Three Rivers Quartet and everyone there raved about the music. They played during the social cocktail hour and just brought class and sophistication to an already elegant event. The Quartet arrives early and has a seamless set up and closing. I would highly recommend them for their price, selections, and appropriate attire. They kept in touch during the timeframe and planning. They provide a detailed contract and have a great website.
The music at my daughter's wedding was beautiful. The group was easy to work with and made the day that more special for all of us.
I hired the Three Rivers String Quartet to play for my cocktail hour. I asked them to choose upbeat selections for my guests to have fun while they mingle. The quartet choose some awesome songs to fit our taste. Among our guests favorites were Marry You by Bruno Mars, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Sweet Caroline. Our guests were even singing along! My fiance, now husband, requested Sweet Child of Mine and they nailed it complete with the guitar solo on violin. My guests are still talking about the music. I highly recommend them for your wedding!
I got married at Heinz Chapel and the music played by the Three Rivers String Quartet was as beautiful as the chapel. It was amazing. So professional and the timings on all the music was just perfect. Many thanks to Christina and her crew for making our day just like I had dreamed!
Three Rivers String Quartet was a the perfect compliment to our ceremony. We had them choose the music and only told them that we wanted Canon in D for my processional. Christina choose the rest of the music and provided sound clips for me to hear some of the recessional pieces for me to choose. We decided to go with Hornpipe. The selections she choose were perfect and set the tone for the ceremony. She worked with my coordinator prior to the wedding and everything was flawless.... even as my 2 year old flower girl ran back up the aisle they kept the music going. Thank you for making my wedding so special!
The Three Rivers String Quartet made our big day so special with all of the music they played. All of the music I wanted for our ceremony and cocktail hour they were able to find and arrange for us. Christina was wonderful to work with and knowing she would be there to take care of every detail of the music really put my mind at ease. I had so many people comment that the music was one of the best parts of the day!
Christina and her crew were phenomenal at our wedding ceremony. They handled my two custom song requests like pros. They also have a huuuuge library of songs to choose from, from classics to contemporary. My photographer even said this was the best string quartet he ever worked with!
Three rivers string quartet was absolutely amazing. My husband and I got married at the outdoor garden at Phipps Conservatory and the music and elegance from the music couldn’t have fit better. Christina was the one I spoke with along the way and she was incredible. At one point I had sent a payment to the wrong PayPal account. She was on the phone with me for about a half an hour trying to figure it out with me. I highly recommend Three rivers string quartet. They would be the perfect fit for your wedding!!
This professional group of musicians added that something extra to make the difference between great and exceptional. Their talents made the ceremony come alive and set the atmosphere for the reception. They were the added extra that filled in the gaps to help make all my daughters wishes, for her wedding, come true.
Loved that they played other than classical music, they were on time and continued to play all the songs we paid for even after the last guest moved from the ceremony venue to the reception venue. A wonderful addition to my daughter’s big day. Would highly recommend!
Found Three Rivers Quartet while searching the Web for my daughter’s wedding on 8/4/18. Christina promptly responded. They have a seemingly limitless catelog of music. Communications prior to the wedding were timely and they began playing 30 minutes prior to the service. As many of the guests were musicians, everyone appreciated and enjoyed their performance. I would highly recommend Christina and company.
Three Rivers String Quartet was absolutely amazing. They worked with me, finding sheet music for all of the songs I requested. They even had our wedding song custom arranged since sheet music wasn’t available. And mailed me a copy of the sheet music after our wedding. I recommend them every chance I get.
The Three Rivers String Quartet was simply the best choice we made for our wedding. The planning was really simple and we were surprised how easy Christina made everything. We filled out a planning sheet and Christina did the rest. She coordinated everything with our planner including cues and everything was executed flawlessly. We could not have asked for a more talented and easy to work with group of musicians.
The Three Rivers String Quartet performed for my daughter's wedding. These are top notch musicians, and if you want the best for your wedding, this is the group to hire. We heard the quartet perform at a bridal show and we knew that this was the perfect group for her wedding. We initially only wanted them for the ceremony but they offer a big discount on the second hour so we had them play for both. They performed contemporary pieces for the cocktail hour and classical for the ceremony. The guests are still talking about the music.
Christina and her group were exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I researched a few other local string groups for my wedding but the Three Rivers String Quartet emerged as the friendliest, most experienced, and most organized of all groups. They had a large selection of music immediately available and I loved that Christina was the planner and also one of the violinists for my event. She listened to what I wanted for my wedding and she made it happen. The musicians even found and learned a few odd pieces for me that we requested a short time before the wedding. The performance was superb and perfectly executed. I cannot thank this group enough!
The Three Rivers String Quartet did an amazing job playing for our ceremony and for our cocktail hour. It was a pleasure working with Christina to make our music list and to figure out the perfect pieces to play at the perfect time. They have a great selection of music, and the performers were top notch!
Simply the best quartet for our wedding! Professional, punctual, easy to work with, organized, and the list goes on. I would recommend them time and time again! I have an extensive music background and was blown away by the quality of this group. Their music selections and variety of songs was absolutely amazing.
Christina and her players are thoughtful and experienced. My program was specific and intricate in its execution and she was kind and willing to help. She took every step needed to learn the pieces and to coordinate them with the planners and eloquently during the ceremony. She was so kind to provide an artist such as myself the liberty of suggesting the style in which certain songs be played, we discussed it together, and luckily she agreed that it worked very well. I was lucky to corroborate with Christina in general, because each player was highly skilled and knew timing and performance cues better than most; as well as coming away from the ceremony I felt a sense of closure at hearing what we had discussed so elegantly depicted on that day; working with her to discuss the choices had been creatively lovely for me as an artist and because she is a lovely person. I certainly and highly recommend these one of a kind musicians. Thank you to All!!!!
Three Rivers String Quartet was perfect! They played during our ceremony and cocktail reception and we couldn't have been more impressed with them. Their music selections are extensive and Christina was able to accommodate a special request for a song that we were hoping to hear! I encourage all brides and grooms to choose Three Rivers String Quartet. You won't be disappointed!
Christina, on extremely short notice, organized a lovely performance at our wedding. She and her quartet even learned a traditional Persian song on short notice, without sheet music. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her or the quartet. We felt so lucky to find them.
I don't know how to truly express how grateful I am to this company of artists. To any bride that is wondering if you should make the leap and have a string quartet I would say .... your crazy not to! And the only reason I can say that is because of this group right here.... they exceeded any and all expectations, Christina truly did an amazing job with switching things up when we found out our Catholic church would not allow us to play the songs we originally wanted .... and with one phone call she had it all together in a split second! She worked with my budget and for that I am forever grateful and our family and friends couldn't say enough about how beautiful they sounded.... And what a pleasure they truly were. Absolutely professional and you can count of them for not only a beautiful show but the experience they have to make a quick move and the right move to go with the flow of YOUR wedding.... Christina thank you, and thank you for my extra song at the end of my ceremony while we were taking pictures at the alter. She played the song i was not originally allowed to have as i walked down the isle, but we WERE allowed to play it as we took pictures after the service. Totally in shock and it took everything in me not to cry for such a sweet sentiment. Thank you. Love, the Heineckes 7-7-17.
Three Rivers String Quartet was so easy to work with. I had no idea where to start with choosing music and their planning tools made it simple and accessible to listen to selections. I definitely recommend!
We were so very please in choosing the string quartet. Christina is very easy to get ahold of and answers questions promptly. She was very accommodating and even got music that wasn't on their playlist for us! We can't thank them enough. Just wonderful!

The Three Rivers Quartet played at my sons wedding. I worked with Christina and she is wonderful and pleasant to work with. The quartet is excellent musicians and prompt. The guests at the wedding are still talking about them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a special touch to any occasion. They are FABULOUS and are flexible to your needs. I can't say enough about them. Thank you for making my son's extra special.
I worked with Christina for my wedding that was on September 3rd 2016. She was great to work with. I'm clueless when it comes to music, her knowledge was very helpful when it came to helping me selecting pieces for our big day. I would highly recommend them!!!
I worked closely with Christina in organizing the music for my brother's wedding. She is very knowledgeable, flexible, and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond to ensure the ceremony ran perfectly. I highly recommend to use of her quartet!
The Three Rivers String Quartet is AWESOME! If you're looking for a string quartet for your wedding, you NEED to hire them! They are excellent musicians, professional, courteous, and will really add an extra special touch to your special day! They have a large library of music and will accommodate almost all music requests. I would highly recommend the Three Rivers String Quartet for anyone who is thinking of hiring a string quartet for their wedding day!
Very professional group. Easy to work with, great music and extensive selection of music to choose from. Added a great deal to the ambiance of our special day.
The Three Rivers String Quartet played for my wedding on June 18, 2016. They played for the ceremony and for the cocktail hour and the music was amazing! Christina was very easy and professional to work with in planning the music. She answered all my questions and even made some great song suggestions. When they began playing my song, it brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful! I highly recommend the Three Rivers String Quartet!
I had the Three Rivers String Quartet play for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on 6-25-16. They were amazing! Christina was so nice and easy to work with and planning everything was really stress-free. They played beautifully outside on an extremely hot day (which I felt bad about)! I loved the music and I think everybody else did too, as I got tons of compliments. I think their prices are very reasonable. Hire them, you won't regret it!
Absolutely beautiful ceremony musicians! Our guests are still complimenting us on our musicians for our ceremony. Questions/concerns were quickly answered, huge variety of music to chose from, and we had the option to have someone compose music for us if they did not have the songs we wanted. The planning sheet made the ceremony music so easy. Would absolutely recommend Three Rivers String Quartet for a perfect ceremony! Their music was breath taking!!!
I had the Three Rivers String Quartet play for my June 25, 2016 wedding. I am a musician myself, and music was the most important aspect of the wedding to me. I had always wanted a string quartet to play at my ceremony, so I began researching string quartets in the Pittsburgh area. I found this group, and I'm so happy I did! I based the date of my wedding around the availability of both the string quartet and the band at my reception. The responses from Christina through the whole process were very quick and helpful. I wanted a special song for my husband and his groomsmen to walk in to, so I asked Christina if they could do an arrangement of the Jurassic Park theme song. They did, and it surprised my husband (and the other guys, too) so much that he almost cried! I have heard nothing but wonderful comments about the Three Rivers String Quartet from guests who attended the wedding. If you are considering having a string quartet, this is the group you want! I only wish I could have heard them more!
They did a fantastic job! During the planning process Christina answered all of my questions promptly and thoroughly to help with the planning. Their guide and song suggestions on the website was helpful, as well. I got nothing but rave reviews about them from my guests at the wedding. They sounded perfect and dressed beautifully and professionally. Guests really seemed to enjoy the popular music favorites during the happy hour. This was something we would definitely say to do at your wedding because it is a perfect way to personalize your day. Would hire this group again in a heartbeat!
We used the Three Rivers String Quartet for my wedding on October 8, 2016 and it couldn't have been nicer. The group was prompt, professional, and very talented. They put the exact mood we wanted for the ceremony!! I highly recommend them.
I cannot express how amazing this quartet is: Christina was WONDERFUL to work with. I requested a specific song for walking down the aisle, and she found the exact version I wanted, and it was perfect! I also requested that they start another song at a specific time, and they nailed it. Christina was very pleasant when we were picking out our music with her, and I received a lot of compliments on the music. They have a great selection of contemporary and classical pieces, and it took my event to another level:) Highly recommend, A+ !
