"I cannot say enough amazing things about this group of incredible musicians. Lisa was easy to work with, professional, and a great communicator - truly every bride's dream! We hired the quartet to play our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was the everything we could have imagined and more. The music was beautiful and it really set the stage for an elegant evening for all of our guests. The group has such a robust repertoire list, but each song is just as lovely as the next. You can't go wrong with any of their selections. Our guests complimented the music all evening, saying that our wedding gave off "Bridgerton" vibes in the very best way! Thank you, Rondo String Quartet! You are simply the best."

-Janelle, review from The Knot
"We were looking for a group who played fun current music as well as classic rock. We also wanted to feel comfortable that the group was established, professional, and knew what they were doing. Rondo checked every box and so much more! Thank-you, Rondo, for your help in the process, for your kindness, for your talent, and most of all - for making our wedding day perfect!"

“What’s in a name?”
We are often asked why our name is Rondo String Quartet. A Rondo is a musical form with a refrain or main theme that keeps returning. We thought the name was fitting as we all go out into our lives, but always return to play music together.
Kashmir, Led Zeppelin
Watermusic Finale, Handel
