Three Rivers String Quartet

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! Brad & Genevia 10/28/2016

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+ !

These ladies are amazing! My wife and I had them play at our cocktail reception and they really nailed it. We had them play a mixture of modern pieces and of course the classics! Top recommendation for anyone hosting an event. Forget about recordings and DJ's, live music is the way to go!

We hired the Three Rivers String Quartet for our wedding this past May. They were very detail oriented, great at communication, were able to play the pieces we requested, and met my coordinator early to make sure the timing was perfect. They were even able to learn a new piece when we requested it a week before the wedding. The music was flawless and they exceeded our expectations.

Three Rivers String Quartet played for my daughter's wedding ceremony at the Carnegie Museum on May 1, 2015. They were fantastic! Everyone raved about the beautiful music, it really made the ceremony so special. Not only was the music perfect, Three Rivers String Quartet was very professional, prompt and so easy to communicate with. I highly recommend them! Liz C.

My church recommended Three Rivers String Quartet to play for my wedding in September. They were amazing and very easy to work with. They arrived early to rehearse with my vocalist (she sang Ave Maria with them) and they played along with the organist for my processionals. They were, by far, the easiest vendor to work with for my wedding. I chose my processional music and they played a beautiful catholic prelude that they chose themselves. I continue to hear from my guests how beautiful the music was. You will be so glad you hired them!

I got married in September in the Carnegie Museum Hall of Sculpture, and I thought the space needed something more elegant than a DJ. Three Rivers String Quartet sounded beautiful, and was able to play both traditional Jewish songs as well as Top 40 hits. I requested a song that was not on their repertoire list and Christina quickly managed to find it for me, which was much appreciated. I would recommend this group to any bride looking for a beautiful, classic addition to her ceremony.

We used Three Rivers String Quartet recently for our October wedding and they truly made our day. We decided to use their modern music arrangements during our ceremony, everyone had wonderful things to say! I keep getting compliments on the music selection and elegance that was presented at our ceremony. Three Rivers String Quartet gave our ceremony personality and a touch of fun while keeping the elegance of a wedding. Family and friends continue to rave about "how perfectly us" the ceremony was, and I credit it to the string quartet. I have and will continue to recommend this top notch and communicative vendor to newly engaged couples! I have already given their information to 2 friends. Best money I spent for the wedding! Even after guests left they continued to play while we got our pictures taken, it was awesome! Thank you so much for making our day perfect!

The 3 rivers string quartet was amazing! Our guests loved them and they were great to work with. Even though we were a little disorganized on our side, that didn't prevent them from being great.

Three Rivers String Quartet was one of our favorite parts of our wedding day. They played at our wedding on May 16th and did an amazing job. They were easy to work with during planning and I had a song picked out I wanted to walk down the aisle to and was not sure if I could find a string quartet to play it and they did and nailed it! They are extremely professional, accommodating and made this part of planning stress-free. I would highly recommend their services to any couple-you will love them!

Christina and the rest of the Quartet were everything we could have hoped for. They were extremely easy to work with from start to finish. They never gave us any problems. To be more specific, our wedding was outside and they provided their own tent. They adjusted on the fly and continued when our wedding was running a little late. They hit ever cue during the wedding and their musical timing was perfect. They already knew or were able to learn whatever song we wanted them to play. I could go on and on, but most importantly, they sounded great! The music was beautiful, and we received many, many compliments from our guests. One of our guests actually ended up using Three Rivers String Quartet for her sister's wedding. Overall, they are very affordable, are easy to deal with, and play great music. I don't know what more you can want!

They played my wedding about 2 weeks ago and did a fabulous job. So many of my guests gushed about how much they loved their music. It really added such a beautiful ambiance to our wedding ceremony/cocktail hour. They let us customize our wedding songs too so we had super fun non-traditional songs throughout our ceremony (The groomsmen walked down the aisle to the Game of Thrones theme song). I HIGHLY recommend them to any brides/grooms looking for a way to make their ceremony even more special!

I highly recommend booking Three Rivers Strings Quartet! They did a fantastic job for my wedding ceremony music, and we could not have been any happier! The musicians are experienced and talented; we did not need to rehearse and played all of my selections perfectly! Christina was a pleasure to work with; she was extremely organized, very prompt to respond to my emails, and was very helpful in giving recommendations and suggestions. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day!

We hired the three rivers string quartet to play at our wedding and they did a beautiful job. When I started walking down the aisle and heard them playing my song it brought tears to my eyes. We also had them arrange a special piece for during our sand ceremony and it was even more beautiful than I had hoped for! I highly recommend them!!

We met/heard the Three Rivers String Quartet perform at a bridal show and knew right away we wanted them for our wedding. Christina (the manager of the group) was wonderful to work with, friendly and answered all of my questions promptly. She suggested some great modern processionals for my bridesmaids to walk down the aisle to (I walked down to Canon in D), and even came early the day of the wedding to rehearse a piece with my vocalist. My wedding planner spoke with her the week before the wedding too and had great things to say. The ceremony was flawless. We had them play for the cocktail hour too and our guests were amazed at how impressive the more contemporary pieces sounded played by a string quartet. They even played a request for my niece during the cocktail hour! They kept our guests entertained during cocktails and definitely helped set the perfect mood for the night. We recommend them with highest regards!

The Three Rivers String Quartet played at my daughter's wedding last month. They were very professional and we received many compliments from the guests regarding the wonderful music they played at the ceremony and during the reception. I would highly recommend them!

We had the Three Rivers String quartet play our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were amazing! Their manager, Christina paid attention to every detail and responded to all of our questions (and I'm sure I asked a LOT of questions!) very quickly and thoroughly. They played classical music for the ceremony and all modern music for the cocktail hour- everything we requested! Taylor Swift, Muse, Coldplay, One Direction. It was amazing! We highly recommend them!!

I was a guest at my Brothers wedding & the music was beautiful. Appropriate volume, sound was magnificent! Very impressive. Would recommend!

Dealing with Christina couldn't be easier - very responsive and provides all the information you need. We chose to do the cocktail hour with classical music, then asked them to continue for an hour at dinner with contemporary choices. They were superb! Many guests asked me who they were and I believe several will be reaching out to them. Fantastic - can't go wrong. Thank you for making our evening special and spectacular!

The Three Rivers String Quartet played at my wedding for the ceremony and the cocktail hour on 10/11. Our whole experience was phenomenal from start to finish - Christina was very helpful with recommendations and was also able to track down two obscure pieces that we wanted for our processional and recessional. The music was the perfect accompaniment to our ceremony - I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and artistic soundtrack our wedding. We got so many rave reviews from our guests. Thanks to Christina and quartet for making our day an extra special one!

These musicians we punctual, professional, and enchanting. The music was absolutely lovely. The cherry on top was the fact that they are willing to learn special pieces if you tell them early on. As an avid Lord of the Rings fan, I wanted shire music played at my wedding.I sent them clips of the music I wanted and they reproduced it beautifully. They also have an excellent repertoire of songs they know well. People are still talking about their rendition of some of Michael Jackson's greatest hits at the cocktail hour! If you don't want an extra thing to worry about on your special day avoid the headache of using amateurs and go with these guys. They are definitely worth the price!

I got married at the Phipps Garden Center this past Saturday (September 20, 2014). Early in the wedding process, I know that I wanted a string quartet and I found their website through the knot and Christina was the quartet manager.She was very responsive and professional. I requested 2 songs that were not on their repertoire list, and she MADE IT HAPPEN! The last song I requested that I thought was impossible was "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit and Viola, she made sure she was able to get it done for me. We did a mix of contemporary and classic songs. I was so excited when I saw them setting up under the tree, then I heard the last prelude song which was "A thousand Years" and I was tearing up. We also had them play while we did the veil, cord and coin ceremony (usually happens in traditional Filipino wedding) and they made it even more magical. I did not get a chance to say hi to them, since we did our photos right after the ceremony since we had the ceremony & reception in one venue. But they were truly excellent!I definitely recommend them and they were worth every last cent.

One of the best decisions I made in planning my wedding was selecting the Three Rivers String Quartet to perform for our ceremony. My husband did not understand why I was so adamant about having a string quartet until he heard the first song. He said that the music played in our ceremony created such an emotional atmosphere and set the mood for our entire ceremony. As the bride, I only was able to hear a few pieces, but I must say every note was perfectly played. I have heard so many wonderful things about our ceremony and especially about the music, and to me that is priceless. Christina, who was my contact in the quartet throughout the planning process, was phenomenal to work with. She understood my requests, and was extremely kind and responsive to my emails and questions. Three Rivers String Quartet also offers the option of custom arrangements for songs that aren't listed on their repertoire (also very helpful in making our selections). For my ceremony and walk down the aisle, I was able to choose songs that truly meant something to me and my husband. I'll never forget our ceremony, and I have the Three Rivers String Quartet to thank for that.

Great professional communication throughout the process. Good choice of song options including modern and classical. Slight hiccup during my ceremony - but would definitely recommend to friends. I did find it to be pretty expensive - but it's your wedding!
