Harmony Strings

We booked the string quartet for our outdoor wedding. It was super easy to reach Alexandra to set up a classical music set list. We did not have bridesmaids or really a precessional so the instructions to the band was to start playing the pachelbel cannon when they saw the bride and Father of the bride drive up in a golf cart. Well on the day of the event the quartet did not check in when they allegedly came early to set up. They did not call me to ask where to set up. They did find their place on their own which is fine. I'm not sure when they started playing because they just did their own thing.
Unfortunately, they missed their only cue. all they had to do was play while guests were getting seated and when the golf cart came to start the wedding song I had picked. But instead, when they saw the bride drive up they stopped playing completely.
I literally waited in the golf cart in silence after we drove up. All my quests were waiting for me and staring. So I got out of the golf cart staring daggers at the musicians and they literally stared back at me blankly holding their instruments. Finally my mother said, "Start" and as magical of a moment that was for my walk down the aisle I wish they would have figured it out sooner. They scrambled to start but we only got 10 seconds into the song before I got to the end of the aisle. They really ruined my walk down the aisle and for that I will not recommend this band. Much of this could have been avoided with better communication but they just showed up and did not check in with anyone.
We did have a PG&E power failure during the wedding and they handled the heat very well for the indoor cocktail hour. I had planned on them taking their chairs from the ceremony to the reception but they never asked until they got to the cocktail hour so by then it was too late to walk all the way back. They did stand and play and from the small clip that I heard they were fine. I had also asked if they could possibly stay later during the booking process but they packed up early and left without checking in with me (the bride) or anyone else in the family.

Thank you harmony strings for playing at our wedding. You set the tone!!

I loved that they played classical and pop genres as well, very fun!

they were great! on time. played beautifully. They helped make our wedding a beautiful event.

They played beautiful music and made our wedding wonderful. It was so classy and unforgettable. They had a great mix of songs and played our favorites perfectly.

I wanted to surprise my daughter with a string quartet at her wedding. I found Harmony Classical Quartet by chance and they were willing to travel from Sacramento to Valley Springs. Well, I hit the lottery! These women were lovely with such unbelievable talent. I asked them to learn a new music piece for my daughters "wedding march" and they were happy to...and they were amazing. We had an outdoor venue for the wedding and reception, and their beautiful music permeated the space between and was enchanting. We had a Tuscan theme, and their music pulled the entire atmosphere together. I cannot thank them enough, they made our wedding dream come true. They were incredibly thoughtful, and responsive to every e-mail. They even sent me a sample of the new piece that they learned for us. They sounded better that the original score I sent them as a demo. Thank you Alexandra, for answering my GIGSALAD inquiry, and answering or wedding prayers. Your group was absolute perfection. -Beckie
