Dear Bridgette, On behalf of Stephanie and Jim, I would like to thank you for the beautiful music that you provided for their wedding on 6 October 2001. All of us have received many positive comments regarding the music selections that your quartet provided, and how talented you all are as a team. Enclosed is a token of our appreciation for your willingness to guide us through the music selection process, for being prompt at the wedding, and for providing such beautiful music that added so much to both the wedding prelude and ceremony.

Dear CSQ, Thank you again for the wonderful music you and the other members of the quartet provided for our daughter's wedding ceremony on August 4 at George Washington's River Farm Park. Your selections were perfect and were very conducive to the mood we envisioned for this very special event. Helen, our soloist, told us how pleased she was with the quartet and your professionalism and agreeableness, especially in slowing her solo to a comfortable singing tempo for her. I must say we were so totally focused on our daughter that the ceremony sped by too fast and was over before we had a chance to soak it all in. All of your advice and guidance were invaluable in bringing our vision of this special event to reality, and we want you to know how pleased we are. Please feel free to use us as references, should the need arise. Sincerely, Mary Lee J. Peterson, August 2001 |

Topic: Wedding Advice for DC Brides My wedding was 10/27, it was chilly and windy, but nearly everything went beautifully. If you are planning a wedding in the Washington, DC/northern VA area, let me recommend HIGHLY the following vendors Celebrated String Quartet: we started out positive that we wanted a large swing/big band until we heard the CSQ CD demo. Smooth, precise, professional, beautiful. They were so polished at the wedding reception that everyone wanted to know who they were and how we found them. One couple took home a business card to use them for another event. Classical during cocktail reception, added two more players after brunch buffet to add jazz, swing, contemporary music. Flawless performers! One happy customer, and very happily married woman! Back to the honeymoon!! |

Dear Celebrated String Quartet, Scott and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful and elegant music that set the mood for our dream wedding. We received a number of compliments from our guests, and several asked for the name of your Quartet for use at a future event. Your rendition of Fascination for our "first dance" was absolutely perfect- we felt like a prince and princess! Thank you for helping us shape some fond memories of our wedding day. Sincerely, Diane and Scott Bartlett, October 2001 |

Dear CSQ, Thank you for being such a big part of our wedding day happiness! Many guests remarked what a nice "crowning" touch your music was to our ceremony and cocktail hour. Thank you! Lisa and Carlos Vega, March 2001 |

Celebrated String Quartet, Hugh and I can't thank you enough for your beautiful performance at our wedding ceremony at Airlie. We received so many compliments and I was so sad that I didn't have a chance to come and meet and thank you all personally. (Especially you, Bridgette- because of all that you had helped me with.) The Hymn still sounded beautiful even thought only half of the people sang. The music just seemed to calm me. Thanks again to all of you for being a part of our special day and for making it such a memorable one. Love, Trish and Hugh Campbell, August 2001 |

Celebrated String Quartet, Thank you so much for making our special day the fairy tale we dreamed about. The music was lovely, and the dance was so romantic.

Dear Bridgette, On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to thank you for your participation in my daughter's wedding on October 20th. Certainly the mood of the evening was started with your playing during the ceremony and then continued during the cocktail party. The quartet added more elegance to the evening, and was a happy part of that evening. I have two others daughters to go and if we will have a need for music, we will be contacting you again. Please feel free to use our name as a reference. Sincerely, Stephen Miller, October 2001 |
