Perfect in every way! We couldn't have asked for more, from planning, through execution everything was easy and flawless. And on our wedding night, folks danced to a string quartet! I can't think of a single thing that would have made their performance better.

Dear Sandra, thank you for the great review. We had a blast, especially when you all were dancing to our music!!

I was so lucky to find Stephanie Quinn and her talented musicians. It was a pleasure to work with Stephanie in developing the music for my daughter's wedding. She carefully listened and provided wonderful input. The music was spectacular and created exactly what my daughter wanted for this special day. So many guests commented on the beauty of the music during the ceremony. I would strongly recommend Stephanie. A true talented classically trained professional.

This group was hired for a wedding. They are extremely gifted and professional musicians. They presented themselves elegantly. All of the guests complimented on their performance and were very impressed with the music that was played. Stephanie and her coworkers were very nice and curtious to talk to the guests and answered all their questions. They were hired to play for 5 hours and were in good spirits the whole time. I thank you so much for your services and will recommend you to anyone needing a fantastic trio. Very sweet people.

Stephanie and her ensemble did a fantastic job at my wedding. From the very beginning Stephanie was extremely accommodating with my needs. She was able to put together the music for a special song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to even though it required a lot of extra time and effort. She showed up on time and played everything that we wanted her to play. It really added the extra special touch that we were looking for.
Thank you so much Stephanie!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 9, 2016•From Asheville, NC
I hired Stephanie Quinn and musicians she selected to play as a string quartet at my father's memorial service. I was incredibly impressed from start to finish. Stephanie was responsive and so easy to work with. I especially appreciated that she was as comfortable with me choosing musical selections as with giving suggestions. We chatted a bit about my father and the tone of the event, and then she emailed me wonderful ideas for music that gave the ceremony a warm, personal touch. The musicians were on time, impeccably dressed and played beautifully. All of the guests commented on how wonderful the music was. I was very grateful and would definitely hire them again.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 9, 2009•From Racine, WI
Quintessential Strings was excellent! Extremely talented and versitile, Stephanie and her group played Classical to Jazz to Irish folk to Rock and Roll on strings! It was exactly what we wanted: classical leading up to the ceremony, Canon in D for the bride (played perfectly), classical to begin the reception while people were eating and getting their first drink, then funner, up beat jazz tunes, Irish folk and Rock and Roll as the food ended and the dancing began. It was perfect! All this from one group! I highly recommend Stephanie for your wedding or any event.

I wish to mention here deep gratitude to the many wonderful people like Sam, I had the pleasure to work with here on GigMasters. To be a high caliber full-time free-lance musician means we spent our childhood in a practice room followed by dedication and financial sacrifice as adults. We musicians appreciate the professionalism and respect of reading, signing, and abiding by our contract agreement. Making music is my job. Imparting beauty and expression is my joy! Thank you all!

Stephanie was wonderful! The talent and energy she brought to our intimate ceremony was really the icing on the wedding cake. She was very helpful in picking our the perfect musical selections and giving her suggestions as to placement of them in the ceremony. Stephanie was very positive and energetic when communicating with me. She was early the day of our ceremony, which began at 6:30 am and was nothing short of professional in every way at the event. Played on que and was very accomodating. She even braved the 50 degree weather! Music was not something I had to worry one second over. She made it flawless.

Stephanie was extremely easy to work with. She arranged a song just for my daugher's wedding, which provided the perfect touch to the ceremony. To create the trio I asked for, Stephanie secured highly professional musicians to play with her and the music was exceptional! I would strongly recommend Stephanie Quinn and Quintessential Strings to anyone wanting a highly professional performer for any event!

Stephanie Quinn is AMAZING! Not only did she coordinate a song with our vocalist from New York City, she met with him IN NEW YORK to discuss the piece. We could not have been more pleased. She was the highlight of our ceremony, and the guests were raving! You MUST hire Quintessential strings for your next event!

Stephanie was very easy to work with. She found solutions for all of the little concerns and hiccups that accompany every wedding, and the result was fantastic. The music was lovely for our outdoor cermony. We used a duet, and everyone was impressed with the quality of music they provided with only two instruments. I would use them again without hesitation!
