They did a great job! Young, energetic, and really pleasant to work with. I hope to have a chance to use them again. My only regret is that I was so busy with our guests that I couldn't sit there and listen to them all evening.

Our experience with the St. Charles String Quartet was perfect. Neil was so accommodating providing us with great recommendations when requested. The performers easily and quickly transitioned when weather moved our wedding from outdoors to indoors. Many of our guest commented on the talent and modern song variety provided by the quartet. My husband and I highly recommend the St. Charles String Quartet for your event.

The St. Charles String Quartet was fantastic. While we were tied up different issues during the wedding and did not get to hear them as much as we would have liked to we know that they were wonderful. Everyone told us so. Many of our friends and co-workers that attended the wedding told us that it was the best quartet that they had ever heard. We cannot say enough nice things about the wonderful job that they did. We would highly recommend them to our friends and anyone else. They are an important memory of this special event in our life.

From the moment we booked them they were most responsive and on top of things. Neil was able to satify everyone's requests for songs both during the ceremony and after. Their professionaism and attention to detail was most impressive. Thank you for makeing the wedding ceremony so perfect.

St Charles String Quartet did an amazing job! I received SO many compliments on how well they played and the choices of songs they played from the more traditional to more modern songs. They really made a huge impact in setting the tone of our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Neil Puzon, was the main person I dealt with and he so easy to talk to and communicated with. He was always so prompted in our correspondences and answered all of my questions and concerns. They truly did an amazing job and I'm so lucky to have hired such a talent group. They arrived on time and were extremely professional. Thank you!

They did a great job accommodating a song request for us. We wanted them to play a certain song for when my wife walked down the isle. They were able to get the sheet music and learn it from scratch. We were all very impressed.

Our very special event was planned to celebrate a 90th Birthday. Neil went out of his way to accomodate us and worked with us to manage the size of the group and fit within our budget...even with last minute change of plans! They showed up on time, took special requests, and even choreographed background music for a dvd presentation of my mom's life.
You can depend on their pricing, their appearance, their energy and their talent.
We thank them for making our day ever-memorable and relaxed.

Private Party•Reviewed on October 16, 2009•From Washington, DC
I booked the St. Charles String Quartet to perform during my proposal. Thanks to them a special event was made that much more memorable and wonderful. They learned a couple of songs for the performance and performed them and other songs from their repertoire exceptionally well. Professional and accommodating, they worked with me and the museum staff to keep the event a surprise until the very last minute. We will almost definitely be including them in our wedding, and I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion. Words cannot express our gratitude to the St. Charles String Quartet for their participation in this momentous occasion.

We really enjoyed having a trio from the St. Charles String Quartet play for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very flexible and helpful during the planning process and always willing to provide suggestions on music selections. All of our guests keep talking about how great the music was, especially during the cocktail hour! Thank you so much!

If you want the best string quartet, or other orchestral accompaniment, for your next event, please look no further than Neil Puzon and the St Charles Strings; they played our wedding ceremony and dinner reception. Neil is the consummate professional. He accommodated our special requests, accepting a playlist from my father-in-law, prior to the event, which included a waltz for him and his daughter. No song seemed outside their repitoire; they even threw-in some Led Zeppelin during the cocktail hour. We cannot, nor could our guests, say enough great things about Neil, the entire quartet, and the special touch they brought to our event.

The quartet was awesome! They were attentive to all of our needs with politeness and professionalism... they even handled last minute changes! I would recommend them t anyone looking for classical performers for their wedding or other special event. The quartet made my sister's wedding even more beautiful by agreeing to play the Mass parts so the entire ceremony was done on the strings. I can't recommend them enough! If you're thinking of hiring them don't wait... book them now!!!

Neil snd the other members of the St. Charles String Quartet were everything we thought they would be and more! They arrived early to the church and quickly worked out an arrangment with the organist and played it flawlessly. I can't say enough positive things to express how pleased we were... the guests were still talking about them the next morning.

The St. Charles String Quartet were wonderful to work with! Neil was extremely prompt with responding to requests and organized overall. The quartet performance at our ceremony was exactly how I imagined wedding music should be- I received many compliments on their presence and performance. Working with them (from start to finish) was so easy- I would highly recommend them for future interests:) Thank You!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 20, 2009•From Copper Hill, VA
We requested that the quartet be positioned near the front of the outdoor ceremony site and to play without a tent - because the weather was perfect, they agreed - which then gave our photographer and guests stunning views of the Blue Ridge mountains.
Also, only a week before the wedding, I realized that I had requested an incorrect song. Neil replied promptly to my anguish and we agreed that because of time constraints, the wrong version would have to suffice. HOWEVER, two days before ceremony, he notified me that, indeed, the quartet would be performing the bride's request.
Thanks St. Charles String Quartet!

We had a trio at our wedding and am so pleased we hired St. Charles. I didn't get to enjoy them as much as I would've liked because I was upstairs getting ready, but everything I heard was absolutely beautiful. We got many comments from our guests about the repertoire- they were impressed and the quality of the trio was amazing. It was a wonderful part of the day. Neil was great to work with before the wedding, very responsive and helped us to design a wonderful program. I am so happy I found them and can't wait for the wedding video so I can hear more of what they played. I would recommend them to anyone, they were fabulous.

As the groom, I wasn't able to sit back and enjoy the music of the St. Charles String Quartet as much as I would have liked to, but we heard rave reviews from our guests. The group was talented, and the our crowd loved the variety of music. From a logistical perspective, we had no problems. The quartet arrived on time and adjusted their schedule to accommodate a late starting wedding ceremony. They even learned a Depeche Mode song per our request! Highly recommended.
