Dear Bridgette and Celebrated String Quartet Members,
We can't thank you enough for all you did to create a stunning atmosphere for our daughter's wedding! The ceremony music was excellent, and the reception "dance" music was better than I could have imagined. The addition of the percussion and bass transformed the quartet into a wonderful orchestra. We received so many compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed your playing and they wanted to know how we found you. Seeing our guests dance and have a good time added to the joy of the day.
We are still on a high from the day, and want you to know that you were a big part of the success of the day!
Fondly, Donna & John Wehmeyer, September 2002

Dear CSQ,
We wanted to thank you for the wonderful job at our wedding- everyone enjoyed the music so much! We apologize we didn't get a chance to meet you until the end- everything was just flowing along so well! Also, thank you for working with my father to play his special request. That was such a wonderful surprise to the day and an everlasting memory. Thank you for being such a huge part of such a special day for us.
Sincerely, Shelley & Kirk, September 2002

Dear Ms. Costin,
Last week's Tropaia was a wonderful occasion. The chance to celebrate their achievements with their families, faculty, and friends makes it a very special occasion for the students. And what is a special occasion without music to make it memorable?
We were all delighted to have you with us, and received many compliments about your skill and the music you chose. Thank you for contributing to the success of the evening. Next year, we'll make sure you don't have to walk back downstairs! It was a pleasure to have you join us.
Sincerely, Maria Pinto Carland, Associate Director, MSFS, Georgetown University, May 2002

Dear Bridgette & musicians,
What an awesome group you all are! We truly felt God's presence in your music, and we can't begin to tell you how much it added such a great degree to the beauty of the wedding ceremony. Father Kemp along with the quartet gave us memories that will be with us for a lifetime. You all have a wonderful gift, and you truly touched all our guests, especially the bride and groom.

CEREMONY MUSICIANS: Celebrated String Quartet
They were awesome!! I think everyone was impressed (even our priest)! They started playing for the guests half an hour before the ceremony so they got to hear more of the music than me. I highly recommend them though from what my guests have said.

Feel free to use us as a reference.

Ceremony Music - Celebrated String Quartet. Absolutely wonderful. Really great to work with and they sounded so great. I can't wait to see the video to hear them playing more. Everyone complimented me on their playing. They also played at the cocktail hour and I missed that too, but heard they were great. I definitely recommend them.

Dear CSQ,
Thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding on September 21, 2002. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the music was. The only thing I wish is that I could have been a guest at my wedding so that I could have heard how wonderful it all was. Everything I was able to hear at the cocktail hour and during the reception was exactly what I wanted. It was music everyone could enjoy regardless of their age. I overheard a couple of guests say "finally music you can actually dance to at a wedding." One of the things I enjoyed after being at a few really bad music receptions is that you could actually hear yourself think and the music at the same time. It was the perfect balance! I wish I could have the whole day music wise once so I could re-live some of the memories. Thank you for providing the perfect entertainment!
Fondly, Leslie, September 2002

Dear Celebrated String Quartet,
Chad and I would like to thank you for your wonderful performance at our wedding reception on April 13, 2002 at the Mount Vernon Inn. The beautiful music made the atmosphere romantic and elegant- just how we imagined it. And as a side note, several of our guests were students of music in a previous life, and they were all impressed! Thank you again for helping to make our evening so wonderful.
