Plays Well With Others

Plays Well With Others was phenomenal at my wedding. I had them play at my ceremony and cocktail hour. It was everything I dreamed of and more. Teresa was amazing to work with as well! I could not recommend them enough.

We had the quartet, and the music was beautiful! They are so professional, wearing black, on time, knew all pieces I requested very well. I would use them again for sure!

Theresa made our event so memorable and romantic.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience. Teresa was compassionate and worked closely with us on the music list. The string trio sounded beautiful at my mother's memorial. We are so grateful!

We couldn’t be happier that we added Plays Well with Others to our wedding ceremony! It made the whole ceremony feel so classy and before the ceremony they played beautiful renditions of classic and popular songs to entertain our guests while they found their seats. Teresa was amazing to work with and made everything so easy, I can’t recommend them enough!

Plays Well With Others provided a string trio for my Library's 25th Anniversary gala fundraiser for our Friends of the Library group. I received many, many compliments on the music during the event, and they were so wonderful to work with! I didn't have the time to compile a detailed playlist, but Teresa made everything easy for me. I gave her some very broad guidelines and she put together a perfect set. Several people at the event asked for contact information for the musicians, which speaks very well of their performance. They provided the perfect ambience for our event and I would not hesitate to hire them again. Highly recommended!

Teresa and her band were absolutely fantastic! They put together an incredibly beautiful set for us, and we were so impressed with how good they sounded for our wedding. I am one of a long list of men who have shed tears as I watched my wife walk down the aisle to their music. Thank you for helping make our day so so special, I don't know what we would have done without them!

We can't thank Teresa enough for her help with the San Diego Center for Children's Anniversary Celebration event. Throughout the planning process in leading up to event night, she was super helpful in providing thoughtful song options, very responsive, and always professional. And her performance was amazing! Highly recommend!

Teresa, Juanita and Ellie were very professional and yet personable. We would definitely use their services again. They came earlier at our venue to set up and played well. We enjoyed the music they provided which were preselected by us months ahead. Teresa communicated with us timely and promptly.

Highly recommended!

Their performance for our wedding ceremony was unforgettable! They were truly impressive performers and even went above and beyond to fill in gaps during our ceremony that made the event feel so beautifully curated and memorable. Teresa was so kind, easy and professional to work with. I will absolutely we working with them for any future events.

I reached out about a year in advance of my actual wedding date. Plays well with others was an extremely helpful and communicative the whole way making sure we had what we wanted. They helped make watching my bride walk down the isle a special moment with our song requests being fulfilled perfectly. Definitely would consider booking again in the future.

They were perfect! Such an incredible addition to the wedding! Everyone commented how amazing they were to have before and during our ceremony

Teresa was great to work with from beginning to end. We loved having her and the musicians at our wedding, they played everything beautifully. We were able to ask for a song not on their set list, and they played it perfectly. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice! We highly recommend Plays Well With Others

I worked directly with Teresa and she was wonderful, detail oriented and professional. Day of the elopement she was on time and even showed up with a specials wedding gift for the bride and groom. I would definitely recommend her services in the future.

Thank you,

My only regret was not being able to enjoy her musical talents the whole time during the cocktail hour/pic hour since I was dragged away from her gorgeous playing during our-themed wedding. I honestly can't wait to see the videos of Teresa because people were raving about her. Cannot recommend enough. So thorough and lovely, a true professional-even in the insane heat! If I can update this post with a pic once I get them from our photographer, I will!!

The absolute best! They were wonderful for our pre wedding cocktails, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour. So many compliments from our family and guests. Pleasure to work with as well. It was perfect.

Plays Well With Others gave my granddaughter's wedding service and cocktail hour a simply beautiful performance. Teresa made special arrangements of pieces that my granddaughter requested for the processional and they were just lovely! She worked with me numerous times to have the play list for cocktail hour just the right mix and made herself available to answer questions and give advise throughout the entire process. Having the quartet preform added a special element to my granddaughter’s all important day. I feel grateful to have found them and I highly recommend them!

Just wonderful all around can’t say enough great things about them!

Teresa and her team at Plays Well With Others really made our wedding day special. She performed as part of a trio at our backyard COVID wedding during pre-ceremony drinks, during our ceremony, for our first dances, and during cocktail hour. I was a bit worried about a backyard COVID wedding not feeling special, but the live string music really made a difference. It elevated the wedding to an entirely new level.

If you are on the fence about live music, you absolutley must do it! And you absolutley must hire Plays Well With Others! The music was flawless and they have a collection of hundreds of songs to choose from. And Teresa and her team are so talented, they were even able to learn and adapt a new song for our first dance. Plays Well With Others really made the "vibe" of our backyard wedding feel extra special. Choosing to work with Plays Well With Others was one of the best decisions we made for our special day!

I hired Plays Well With Others to play for my wedding and let me just say...wow!! They were absolutely amazing and very professional. They were also a huge hit with the guests and even took some requests! There was excellent communication throughout the whole planning process and their songlist had a vast amount of music to pick from. Would 10/10 recommend them to anyone!

The live music brought the event over the top.

Reliable, talented, dressed nicely, good communication, everything as planned. Very happy!

5 stars, from beginning to end.

Teresa was fabulous and the PERFECT choice for our Beach Wedding at the Hotel del Coronado.
She stayed in touch with me all through the planning, suggesting songs and mostly helping me pick what I would "walk" to during the ceremony. (I love classical music but I'm far from knowledgeable)
Teresa also played a wide variety of music throughout the evening, at our cocktail reception, and then later at dinner.
I think just about every guest at one point in the day, came to me to comment on how talented Teresa is, and how choosing a solo cellist was the perfect elegant choice for our intimate wedding.
I will definitely have her perform at our next event, without a doubt.
She definitely "plays well with others" :)

I booked Plays Well With Others for my party and I could not be happier with the outcome. Teresa is so easy to communicate with and she even agreed to arrange a song for me.

All 3 musicians were lovely and truly seemed happy to be performing for the guests. I got many positive remarks about them throughout the night!

Plays Well With Others recently played at my wedding at the Surf and Sand Resort. The trio leader, Teresa, was so wonderful throughout the planning process. Always responsive to my questions and took the time to explain in detail the whole process of how the trio would be involved on my big day, from their attire and set up through the ceremony cues and music, and the music for the cocktail hour. She was so kind, supportive and patient and made me feel completely confident in her and at ease leading up to the wedding. They are also very versatile and were able to beautifully accommodate unique music selections and a wide variety of genres. They played a huge part in making my wedding day so perfect! I truly could not be happier and would recommend them for any event!!

I was planning a very-informal, family-only celebration of life for my mom, who had passed away only two days prior. At the last minute my sister suggested that we hire a cellist, as my mom had played the cello in her youth. I had little hopes of pulling this off in such little time. But I ended up receiving a bid from Plays Well With Others, which was quite reasonable. Despite the fact that she had another commitment later on the day, she was moved by my narrative and agreed to play for us. And she was phenomenal. She was the perfect musician and individual for the situation and for our family, and ended up staying twice as long as her commitment. Everyone loved the music, and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome.

My husband and I could not have been happier with Teresa and the rest of the string quartet. They are excellent musicians and, just as importantly, easy to work with. Our ceremony could not have gone as well as it did without them providing the soundtrack.

I have to say everyone at my wedding was beyond impressed with the quartet! From the wide range of music of their set list to their professionalism and quality of sound was simply amazing. I have to say I definitely got more bang for my buck than expected, even the resort was asking where I hired them and who they were. They added a level to my wedding that was way beyond expected. I would highly..HIGHLY recommend hiring them. I wish I would have just booked them for the whole wedding rather than a dj for the reception. Thank you again teresa and the rest of Plays Well With Others for being a part of my wedding.

My wife and I believe we had a dream wedding. Everything went as planned. One of many things that made our day memorable was the quartet (Plays Well With Others). They were easy to work with and very flexible to our music selection and schedule. Our wedding guests have commented that they enjoyed the talent and professionalism of the quartet. Thanks.

I hired a String Trio of Plays Well with Others to perform during breakfast at a restaurant to start the celebrations of my 50th birthday. I must say, that Teresa was wonderful to work with. She is upfront, prompt and right on with what they can play (which is an enormous list).

Not only did many (unknown to me) others at the restaurant enjoy the set, they made a point to mention it to me (and of course thank me for the music LOL).

I will most certainly make this a yearly tradition! Keep the date open! :)

Would and will I recommend Plays Well with Others to add that extra special ingredient to an event or for any formal event? Absolutely! Definitely!

I can't say enough wonderful comments about "working well with others music"?
This is in reference to the gig at Escena Country Club on Saturday March 7th, in Palm Springs, CA.
They played the wedding of Ed and Marvin.
The quartet was diverse in their selections, appropriate, well versed, professional, in a sum, a wonderful enhancement to our occasion.
I highly recommend them.
