Dear Elaine,

I want to compliment you on the job your quartet did at my daughter's wedding (we hired you with just a few days notice as we had only 9 days notice to get the wedding together, and only talked to the musicians when they arrived) I was worried her wedding would look cheap, but you guys made it great! I still get compliments on how elegant her wedding was.

Hello Elaine,

Thank you for a wonderful performance at our wedding on Saturday. Thankfully the rain waited until the last second. We had chills when we heard how amazing you played our wedding song. In the excitement of the evening we missed giving you something to say thank you for the extra effort you put into our special day. We are getting something into the mail today to show our appreciation.

Please extend our thanks to the other members of the quartet for going above and beyond our expectations. We received many complements from our wedding guests on your behalf.

Thank you!

Justin & Rhea

We wanted to send you a quick note to thank you and all of the talented musicians who played at our wedding on May 14th at the Salish Lodge. The musicians were impeccable and the music created exactly the kind of atmosphere that we hoped for on our special day. We could not have been more pleased with the trio that you selected for our event or the music that they played. Please thank the members of the trio for us. We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and acquaintances.

Thank you very much for your service to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Your playing was superb, and your professionalism was very evident. I’d also like to thank you for being flexible in your performance by accompanying the groom (myself) as he sang to his bride. We really appreciated your musical gifts.

You helped create a wonderful wedding experience for Katherine and Doug and their guests on May 23rd. What a magical, musical atmosphere you comfortably developed in the midst of a sunny, busy Golden Gardens Saturday. Your music was lovely and special, enriching the wedding, the celebration, and the festivities.

We appreciated your flexibility with the venue location and the delay as well as the "cocktail Hour" time. What a stellar addition you were to the wedding! Many thanks yous to you.

As I looked up from the amphitheatre, where I had to be for family
photography, I realized that I was not going to be able to listen to any
more of your beautiful music. I remain disappointed.

Thank you so very much for enhancing the joy of Laura and Paul's wedding.
My husband and I appreciate greatly the talent and experience of your group.
Perhaps one day we shall meet again.

Most sincerely,

The Olympic Sculpture Gardens, May 23rd

Elaine,

The string quartet was wonderful. It really made our ceremony and dinner hour so much more special. Thank you for helping us create a beautiful evening.

Thank you very much for playing at our ceremony. The music was so rich and

enough for your presence.

Good morning,

Now that the dust has settled from the various wedding activities and life is back to normal (whatever that is), I wanted to tell you how very pleased we were with the string trio that played at our daughter's wedding at Kiana Lodge on July 28th. The women were lovely and personable, and had researched the couple of tunes that we had particularly requested they play - and did so beautifully. They set a wonderful tone for the wedding and the cocktail hour that followed, and everyone enjoyed their music so much. They were very professional and talented, and we couldn't have been happier with their performance. Thank you so much for adding the "grace notes" to our special day.

Thank you for all of your help in planning the music for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour! Everything was beautiful and the musicians were just fantastic!! We received a lot of compliments for our choice in music and were so impressed with the professionalism and kindness we received from all of you during the whole wedding process. You all truly added to the happiness and beauty of our wedding day!

We want to express our gratitude and praise to you for your wonderful services at our reception at Kiana on Nov. 12th. The Seattle String Trio did such a fantastic job and our guests admired their talent and music. You made our evening more than perfect.

Jason and I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful job the Seattle String Quartet did at our wedding in September. We hope you will pass along our good wishes. They were complete professionals and did such a good job. We continue to receive compliments on the music and believe it was the key element to creating the perfect mood for our ceremony!

This is a belated note to thank you for the music you provided at our rehearsal dinner on July 13 and at the wedding ceremony the next day. Your consumate professionalism made planning everything from here in Charlotte, NC very easy. Thanks again for contributing to such a joyful occasion.

Sincerely,
Evan and Jane

I wanted to let you know what a gem Beth our pianist is. She made my wedding. My expectations were far exceeded by her talent and good-natured attitude. She knew all the songs I requested, and our families started yelling out songs to play and she knew all those too! She was just amazing; I think I got as many compliments about her as I did about my dress. I just thought you’d like to know that she is a great employee and I will recommend her to anyone.

Thank you ever so much for the most beautiful music that you provided for our daughter's wedding. We all so enjoyed the beautiful sounds on such a happy and glorious day. May the Lord continue to bless you and find that ministry for you.

Thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding! Although a lot of it is a fog, I do remember your music and received many compliments about you as will. Thank you for helping to make my and my husband's wedding day everything we had hoped for.

Thank you so much for making our special day perfect! We received numerous compliments on your music! Thank you! (String Trio)

Thank you for being a part of our special day! I'm so glad that I found you instead of/before I got a DJ! Thank You! (Swing Trio) Diane and Mark

Elaine: I just wanted to thank you and Jan (and Sarah!) so very, very much for all of your hard work in putting our wedding ceremony music together. I thought it was so beautiful and I can't tell you how many people came up to us at the reception commenting specifically on the music! They loved the fact that the trio and the singer were so versatile. It was truly beautiful and I can't thank you all enough for all that you did for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love, Hillary and Doug

The music that you all provided at our graduation celebration yesterday was incredible! I thank you so much for your time, effort and incredible music!

I just want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding. We enjoyed the day so much and I am so happy we hired you to play at the ceremony. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who asks. You are very professional and easy to work with. Thank you, Kristy

Our guests, as well as our selves, are in no doubt that your performance was a highlight of our special day. We have received a vast array of compliments on your appearance, professionalism, and largely, on your exquisite music. It is apparent that you are exceedingly accomplished and it was prized by all.

It is with genuineness that we thank you. You unquestionably enhanced our special day.

The trio performed magically at our wedding. Not even the finest details were missed by the trio. Everything from their early arrival and quick set up to their professional appearance to the extraordinary talent in not only their ability to play the music to perfection but also in their improvisational skills of playing music that not only fits the ceremony but adds a whole new dimension to the aura that goes with it.

Both Elaine and Jan were not only extremely helpful, but were also very friendly and approachable so that I never felt as though I shouldn't ask even the most trivial of questions as they came to us.

It is with vast appreciation that I am writing this letter today. You were the performers at our wedding on August 31, 2002 at Saint Edwards State Park. From the beginning of our dealings with your business all the way through the wedding itself, you treated us with the utmost respect, courtesy and demonstrated a superior level of professionalism.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the beautiful music you provided at my May 19th wedding. We just picked up the video tape last night and watched it. The music was wonderful! Your quartet is amazing. I waited to marry until I was older and really wanted a lovely, classy wedding. Your music was exactly what I wanted. Words can not describe how I felt listening to you last night. I can just thank you and recommend you highly!

We just wanted to thank you for your wonderful work and patience with our crowd for the wedding. You did an excellent job and made our wedding more memorable. Your professionalism, attitude and appearance really made our wedding feel top-notch.

Thanks again and I'd recommend you to anyone looking for wedding or event musicians!

Thank you so much for making our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. It has been a pleasure working with you over the last year. I am sorry we did not get a chance to be formally introduced at the wedding. Your string quartet was so perfect, the music made everyone so happy we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you again, your gift of music is truly a blessing.

Thanks for putting together the beautiful music for our wedding. It was wonderful, and we got so many compliments on the music that day, that we thought we'd pass them on to you. Thanks again for a lovely job and for being part of our special day.
