Dear Bridgette,
Everyone who has talked to us about Erin's wedding has mentioned how much they enjoyed the music the quartet provided. For both my husband and myself, the highlight of the entire evening was the duet, "Pur Ti Miro, Pur Ti Godo."
We thank the quartet so much for the glorious music! Thank you, also, for the organized and timely way in which you handled all of the business details. We'll certainly think of the CSQ when our younger daughter gets married, whenever that happens to be.

Sincerely, Clarice O'Connor, February 2007

Dear Ms. Costin,
I just wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful music provided by your quartet at my daughter Maria's wedding, Saturday, February 10, at the Westfields Marriott. The guests commented all evening about the beautiful music. I only wish we could have heard all of it, but photos kept us away from the hour of music during the cocktail hour. Thanks again.

Dear Bridgette,
Your contribution to Briony and Jason’s wedding at The Inn at Vint Hill was extremely important to us, and you did a wonderful job, living up to your reputation and certainly our expectations. I wish I could have spent more time just listening to you, but there was too much happening! Thank you for helping to make my daughter’s wedding day so perfect!

Yours,
Valerie Eccleston May 2007

Dear Bridgette and CSQ Members,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the beautiful music you played for my daughter, Kristin’s wedding on July 21. When the wedding party walked down the aisle while you played Canon in D, it was truly magical. Everyone commented how special the music was. God Bless.

Dear CSQ,
Thanks again for being there with us on our wedding day. Your musical talents were what made it truly memorable for everyone. Thanks for being so accommodating with the impromptu solo accompaniment for my uncle and for your patience with our last minute change of venue for the reception!
