Bridgette and CSQ,
You are so fantastic! How can we possibly thank you? You made our wedding a dream come true - the music was outstanding!!! Beautifully played, fun too. We appreciate your dealing with such cramped quarters and all of the confusion of our little gathering. You made it that much more memorable for us. Everyone absolutely raved over the performance. Also, the ceremony was so intimate and special and you added just the right touches. Better than we could have hoped for...
Our only regret is that we don't have the soundtrack!! :-) If there's anything we can ever possibly do for you, please let us know. We loved you!!! Thank you so much!!!
Fondly, Theresa and Brad Currie, November 2000

Bridgette and all in the quartet,
I know its very late - but, better late than never....
I am sorry that I never got a chance to speak to you or thank you personally for playing the wedding and reception. I guess, though, that that is how the bride's day goes. All so fast!
Anyway, I thought that you all were wonderful. I recieved many compliments and even the groom was impressed! (which is something - as he is not much of a classical music lover)

The best thing was that one of my relatives, specifically, enjoyed sitting and listening to your playing. I will always remember and cherish seeing her do this. She is my 86 year old great Aunt. She came for the wedding from California and hadn't been on a plane for 20 years. While her presence gave the day and the event all that much more significance, I am very happy to know that - through your presence - she enjoyed herself all that much more.

Anyway, Thank you again. I hope to someday actually get a chance to sit down
and really listen to you.
Sincerely, Kim, April 2000

Bridgette,
I just wanted to send this quick note of thanks. The quartet did a lovely job at our June 23rd wedding at Oxon Hill Manor. The perfect weather helped, but your music added wonderful atmosphere.
Thank you again,
Leslie & Alan Preble, June 2000

Dear Bridgette,
Now that were back from our honeymoon and settling into our new house, I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful job you did for our wedding on July 29th at the Sheraton Suites in Old Town. I understand from everyone that the quartet was wonderful. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to hear you play much because I was busy with pictures and running around. But I definitely heard you play as I walked down the aisle and I couldn't have been happier! The music selection was exactly what I asked for and was played beautifully. You have been very nice and easy to work with and I would highly recommend the quartet to all of my friends. Thanks again! Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Sincerely, Mary and Peter, July 2000

We would just like to express our thanks and gratitude for your performance at our wedding at the Black Horse Inn on June 3^rd. Both your selections and performance were superb, and you will always be referred by us with only the highest regards. Thanks again for contributing to our special day.

Dear Bridgette,

Please convey our thanks to all of your Celebrated String Quartet members for the beautiful music you provided for our wedding. You showed the utmost professionalism in all my communications with you. When it came time for the actual day, I had a great sense of comfort, knowing that the Quartet was faithfully carrying out our wishes for our music program. I’m sure you deal with many stressed out brides, but if its any consolation for that grief, you helped make this bride very happy on our wedding day.
