"The musicians were great!! The music was a perfect addition to our perfect day. We had many compliments on the music and the musicians acted with the utmost professionalism."

--- Jessie & Chris (wedding ceremony), October 2009

"We want to thank you for the beautiful ceremony music. Yen and I were charmed, and during the whole reception our guests kept telling us how you added an inestimably classy and elegant touch to the ceremony. Our more musically-inclined guests also recognized the Stars song you played at the processional, and were very impressed with your rendition. Prelude to Suite no. 1 on the cello was also wonderful, I thought I was going to cry. Who am I kidding, I did cry.

We'll forever highly recommend you to anyone who gets married in this area!"

--- Céline & Yen (wedding ceremony), October 2009

"We were SO happy with the music, it was absolutely beautiful!!! It was just what I was hoping for and had pictured for the ceremony. I LOVED every part of it!! We received so many compliments from all of our guests as well. You were very easy to work with throughout the planning process, not to mention very patient. I was full of questions that I was actually annoying myself... I was confident that Cadenza Strings would do an amazing job, it was one less thing for me to worry about."

--- Catherine & Brad (wedding ceremony), October 2009

"I started wedding planning about a year ago and it was a "must" to have a string trio for my ceremony. After searching endlessly on the web for local quartets I came across the Cadenza Strings website. I was impressed with the site and the info on the site and I decided to contact them for availability and pricing. I also found their Facebook page and again was impressed with the background of each artist.

I received a response back from Brenna [the booking manager] and was pleased with the quick turnaround and with the complete information provided back to me. I immediately had a great feeling about the quartet and I booked them. That was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. Now came the hard part...locating the song I wanted for my processional. It was a remixed version of a classical piece and I am not at all familiar with classical music. Brenna was extremely helpful in looking for the original piece and I was even provided a recording of the original. I chose to go with the remixed version and it was arranged wonderfully. It sounded amazing the day of the wedding.

The service I received from Cadenza Strings was outstanding. I was given advice all through the planning process and any questions I had were answered very quickly (which is important to a bride-to-be). I also had one of the artists at my rehearsal and that was extremely helpful working with the priest to make sure timing was exact. I would highly recommend Cadenza Strings for wedding ceremonies or any other event. I still receive great compliments from our guests about how great our ceremony music was.

Cadenza Strings...a real class act.

Thank you so much for making our day special."

--- Leonora & Stephen (wedding ceremony), September 2009

"Thank you for being a part of our wedding day. The music you selected was perfect and set the right tone.  Our guests commented numerous times on how nice the music was and how much the duo added to the ceremony and reception." 

--- Meghan & Iain (wedding ceremony), September 2009

"Thank you so much for everything! We have had so many wonderful comments about the beautiful music you played for our wedding.  You made sure that we didn't have to worry about a thing - you just came in, set up and played. I have had several emails from people that just wanted to tell me how great the music was, and how elegant.  I am so glad you were able to play at our wedding.  It was absolutely perfect!"

--- Marcia (wedding ceremony), August 2009

"Cadenza Strings added a beautiful, elegant touch to our ceremony. We would highly recommend them and very much appreciated their professionalism, judgment, prompt and efficient service and the whole client experience. Thanks again for making our ceremony so special!"

--- Jen & Rob (wedding ceremony), August 2009

"What a pleasure it was to have Cadenza Strings join our ceremony for the Deputy Minister of Environment Canada. We found your quartet to be very professional and the music you provided to be exceptional. This was our first time having a quartet provide the entertainment and our management, recipients and guessed were not disappointed. We received many comments, ranging from 'wonderful' to 'outstanding'. Our Deputy Minister and his Associate DM were very impressed had many positive comments. It is without doubt that I would recommend Cadenza Strings to any department or agency."

--- Mario (Environment Canada awards ceremony & reception), June 2009

"Cadenza Strings' musicians helped make our wedding ceremony complete, and we would highly recommend their services for anyone looking to add to their ceremony that extra personal and intimate touch that can come from only live music.

All the preparations were done easily and clearly via e-mail, with the booking manager accommodating all our questions and concerns. A truly professional outfit, the musicians organized seamlessly with our wedding coordinator without requiring any advance rehearsals or briefings--they came and left so gracefully, yet it is difficult to imagine how the ceremony would have been appropriate in the absence of their performance.

Overall, a fantastic experience with Cadenza Strings--we offer a wholehearted recommendation!"

--- Paul (wedding ceremony), June 2009

"Thank you so much for providing the wonderful ceremony music! The day was unforgettable, and everyone raved about your performance... We will definitely be recommending you."

--- Rochelle & Denis (wedding ceremony), February 2009

"The string duo was superb. When I arrived in the gallery, they were already playing, and they soon attracted an audience, which was just what we had hoped for. They played an entirely 18th-century repertoire, as we requested, and did so with great warmth and expertise. Many of the participants in the conference have told the organizers how much they enjoyed the music, which made a perfect accompaniment to viewing paintings in the Musée des Beaux Arts."

--- Peter (private gallery showing), October 2008 

"Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding ceremony!  I know it was a tad confusing because it was an original melding of traditions (plus we didn't have a rehearsal!). Your ensemble did a fantastic job of following the program and the quality of your performance was truly exceptional.  You certainly made our wedding ceremony very special for us and we truly appreciate it."

--- Kate & Houman (wedding ceremony), October 2008

"Our thanks to you for helping us celebrate on our special day. We were very impressed with the suggested music selections, the professionalism and, of course, the music itself."

--- Samara (wedding ceremony), October 2008

"Everybody had nothing but great comments to make about the music! It was beautiful. To be honest, I completely tuned out while Air on G was playing (too nervous), but I really got to enjoy U2 and Sweet Symphony. Soooo beautiful. I am very happy I decided to go with Cadenza Strings, and will gladly recommend you to all my friends!"

--- Sylvie (wedding ceremony), October 2008

--- Anna (IAP Executive Committee Dinner), September 2008

They were prompt, professional, and most importantly played beautifully.
I would recommend them without hesitation for any event where a string duo, trio or quartet is suitable."

"Thank you so much for your fine performance at our reception at the National Gallery of Canada last Friday evening.

We will be sure to think of you the next time we have an event."

--- Heather & Iain (wedding reception), August 2008

"We hired Cadenza Strings for our wedding on August 2nd. Not only was the music wonderful, but we allowed them to select the songs and could not have been more pleased. THANK YOU so very much for making it a perfect celebration. Also let me add that we ran 30 minutes late and they were very, very accomodating."

--- Yvonne & Marc (wedding ceremony), August 2008

--- Dulcie & John (wedding ceremony), July 2008
