    Great!

    Communication QCQ was great. They were very prompt to respond to my inquiries and really made sure it was clear what was needed on their end. They also provided great recommendations when my husband and I were unsure what songs to choose and have a large repertoire list that is sure to have something you'll like!

    Amazing!!!

    I'm so glad Queen City Quartet did the music for our pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour. They were unforgettable and so undeniably amazing! They are reasonably priced and prompt and professional in their communication. They also offer quite a selection of songs to pick from. Their music will forever be ingrained in my memory. Thank you for making our day so special!

    January 2024 Wedding

    Although I didn't get to personally interact with the quartet at my wedding, the music was perfect and there wasn't much that was needed by me.

    So happy we chose them!

    Everyone that I worked was so wonderful. We had a few special requests that they did not originally offer but they searched until they found the songs and did such a beautiful job. They made my wedding ceremony even more beautiful than it already was.

We recommend booking your date as soon as you have your venue reserved. We book over a year in advance, so reserve your date early.
We have a large list of music choices. We can help you customize your choices by offering suggestions, or we have some pre-made wedding music lists which offer either all-classical, all-contemporary, or a classical-contemporary mix. We want the music selection process to be simple and fun, so we are always here to help!
Absolutely! We're happy to connect with the singer/musician to coordinate music arrangements and performance keys. We charge a small fee for a quick rehearsal the day of the wedding, prior to prelude starting.
We love to perform outdoor events. A few key things to keep in mind: 1. Our instruments cannot get wet, so a rain plan or canopy is a must. 2. We love sunshine! But our antique wooden instruments don't tolerate direct sun very well in the summer. Please consider a more shady location for us. 3. Cooler weather months are a gorgeous time of year for your wedding! But when the temperatures go below 60 degrees, please provide a portable heater for us so our fingers can continue playing beautiful music for you and your guests.
