We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jenny and her team and I can’t recommend them highly enough!
From our first meeting, Jenny was so easy to work with, incredibly creative, offering fantastic ideas that truly elevated our wedding. We had classic violin for the ceremony, transitioning to electric violin for the cocktail hour, and DJ fusion (electric violin + Dj) for the reception. Being an American-Brazilian couple, it was important for us to include Brazilian music. Jenny not only embraced this but had Claudia, one of the violinists, perform a Brazilian song during the reception, it was unforgettable and still gives me chills! If you’re looking for a music vendor who is talented, thoughtful, and truly dedicated, ESQ Is the one!!!

Ray and his team were fantastic. I got so many compliments on the music.
They played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Working with Ray was so easy, and he helped ease a lot of stress. He even did a custom song for me when I walked down the aisle. I would 100% recommend them.”

We loved our experience working with Elegance String Quartet and highly recommend them to anyone looking for classic, but unique musical accompaniment to their wedding (or any event).
ESQ is truly the full entertainment package. If you can believe it, in addition to handling the musical elements, they also provided streaming and recording of our ceremony and special dances. We weren't looking for a full-service videographer, but we wanted some simple footage to remember the sights and sounds of our day.
