If I could give them 10 stars I would. We hired [them] for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in Redondo Beach. This quartet knocked it out of the park. Lisa is so sweet, and wonderful to work with. If you want them to learn a song they will! My bride processional was the love song from the Princess Bride. Our recessional was the throne room/end title song from STAR WARS!! They learned star wars for us!!! My guests were like, wait a minute, is this, it is, it’s STAR WARS!
I would highly recommend this quartet for your wedding, or party that you want to class up. They know a lot of songs, and can learn and have pieces arranged for songs not on their list. – Shelley
[They] was great at our wedding. They were talented, professional, and classy. We had no idea what songs to pick or what would work with the timing of our ceremony, so we left it in their hands. They picked the perfect pieces for each part of our ceremony and transitioned flawlessly. We were so happy with the quality and professionalism of their services. They brought a wonderful sophistication to our wedding day. – Pauline
