Wonderful Experience and Amazing Quartet
We thoroughly enjoyed working with the Appassionata String Quartet for our September 2nd wedding. Leah was easy to communicate with and helped us select some lovely and timeless classical pieces for our wedding. The quartet was flawless during the ceremony itself (e.g. changing music for different sections of the wedding party, a musical interlude prior to saying our vows) and our guests raved about the music they played during cocktail hour as well. We highly recommend them!

Danielle Liffman & David GarsonMay 26, 2013InterContinentalFrom the first phone call requesting a DJ and string quartet for our wedding to the end of our wedding night, working with Jerry Bruno Productions and our selected vendors (DJ Michael Alexanderand Appassionata Strings) was a pleasure. We planned our wedding long distance and Jerry Bruno Productions made the whole process seamless. We’ve already had requests from some of the guests for the names of our DJ and strings so they can use them in other events.
Phillip Kantor & Erika JonesMay 26, 2012Hillbrook ClubThe Appassionata Strings quartet literally took my breath away. We were seated in front of them on the altar and when they began playing, in harmony, with the cantor I was moved to tears. The majority of my night was filled with compliments about the quartet and how beautiful they made the ceremony. I was more than satisfied. They made my ceremony a dream come true.
Stephany ZipaySep 25, 2010St. StanislausHaving Appassionata play for my daughter’s wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions I made for that important day! Donna was very helpful in the selection of the music and she was also very receptive to working with some of my requests. The extensive training of these musicians was obvious-every note was beautifully played.
Jennifer Sacher (Lindsey Sacher/Jason Duca wedding)Aug 14, 2010Windows on the RiverJust wanted to say what a wonderful experience it has been to work with the Backstreet DJs and the Appassionata Strings. Both teams were a pleasure to work with and made a special day even more outstanding.
