Dear CSQ, Thank you so much for making our daugher’s wedding at The Inn at Vint Hill on July 3, 2004 a major success. The music that you played was so appropriate for the guests, you obviously can read your audience very well. In addition, the music was not overwhelming, so that the guests were able to have a conversation with each other. Many of our guests came from the New York area and they so wished you would come home with them. In fact, my father who was in a wheelchair was so inspired by the music you were playing that he asked my mother to dance. Again, thank you for making our daughter’s wedding a most extraordinary day. Yours truly, Carolyn and Bob Lanfear, July 2004 |

I believe The Celebrated String Quartet made our special day an elegant event. Many of our guests complimented us on how the music provided an atmosphere of classic sophistication. We will definitely use The Celebrated String Quartet for all future celebrations, and we’ll recommend your company to everyone we know. Thanks again, Denise M. Le Borne, April 2004 |

Dear Bridgette: Dave and I didn’t get a chance to thank you and the rest of the quartet for your lovely performance at our wedding. I enjoyed the music immensely and my mother was as equally thrilled. Thanks so much for staying late to play our cake cutting song. That song means a lot to us, and it made the experience just perfect. Working with you couldn’t have been easier. So thank you again, and the best of luck in all your future endeavors. Sincerely, Samantha & Dave Longley, May 2004 |
