Elegance String Quartet - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I cannot recommend Ray Bicolli and Elegance Quartet enough. We had the string trio perform the ceremony music at our wedding this summer and they were wonderful. Not only did Ray put this Type A bride at ease with his attention to detail and timely follow-up, but the musicians were a phenomenal addition to our special day. Our friends particularly loved the strings rendition of “The Thong Song” and numerous other contemporary pieces while waiting for the processional to begin. For the actual ceremony, we selected classical pieces and they were beautiful. The team played a particularly stirring rendition of “Lord’s Prayer” as a tribute to loved ones passed that I will never forget. From start to finish, Ray and his team were a dream - I recommend them without hesitation and hope to have an occasion to utilize their services again.

You 10000% need to book Elegance for your wedding!! We booked the 2 hour package which included 30 minute prelude (while guests were arriving and sitting down), the music for the ceremony processional and recessional and amplified strings with accompanying beats for the cocktail hour.

They added such an elegant and classy vibe to our ceremony, setting the tone for the whole evening. I could pick from literally hundreds of songs for both the prelude and cocktail hour music.

Our ceremony and cocktails were both at Union Trust and the transition between them was so smooth with the quartet playing our ceremony recessional from the balcony and then jumping right into cocktail music.

Guests were loving the music and were definitely impressed with the arrangements and talent! Would book and recommend ESQ again!

We hired Elegance String Quartet for our March 2024 wedding, and 6 months out, our guests are still raving about the music! From the day we began working with ESQ we knew we were in good hands. They were professional, easy to work with, and truly got to know us and our music preferences.
They followed us throughout the day of our wedding- playing as a quartet at our ceremony, moving onto electric strings at our cocktail hour, and a DJ Fusion at the reception. They were AMAZING all day and night. I cannot recommend a more fun and unique way to incorporate live music with a DJ.
I am so thankful we got to work with ESQ at our wedding!

“Wow”, “phenomenal” and “super cool” - all comments given by guests at our brunch wedding listening to ESQ and their amazingly talented musical skills. One guest was like “they just played lady Gaga…on strings!!”. We can’t recommend them enough - the flare and ambience they created for the wedding ceremony and prelude were fantastic. They played for our cocktail hour and wow’ed guests and us with their renditions of pop, rock, musicals and more! There repertoire is so varied and they are always open to new songs and artists. Working with Jenny to organize the day, have her do some MC duties, and coordinate was the easiest thing - she’s like working with a great friend that wants to make your day a special one. Ray organized and wrote out two new songs for us - our special first dance and our entrance song - both were superb! Communication was always professional and quick, not to mention easy. And the music - again, can not say enough good things about their amazing abilities to take any song and give it their own interpretation while constantly wowing not only us but all of our guests!

The Elegance String Quartet did an amazing job at my daughter's beach wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Guests kept commenting on the wonderful acoustical music they played at cocktails. They went above and beyond to accommodate us from providing the sound system for the beach ceremony so we could all hear the officiant and the beautiful music to bringing the up-lighting for the ballroom. Most of all they were a pleasure to work with and reached out to keep us on track for song selections, timing and set up. I look forward to booking an event with them again!

Most wonderful team to work with. My husband Sean and I LOVED working with the ESQ and cannot recommend them enough! The team is professional, incredibly talented, and will work to make your event to your design!
Thank you Jenny and Ray for everything- we cannot be any more grateful.

This review is long-overdue, for which I apologize! Elegance Quartet played for our wedding in November 2021, and were hands-down the best vendors to work with, and the best part of our wedding day! They were amazing to work with throughout the planning process: accommodating our song requests, dealing with venue changes, and adapting to last-minute changes. As a professional musician and wedding vendor myself, having excellent music was a MUST! We had the acoustic string trio (amplified & with some percussion) at our reception, and all of our guests were (and still are) RAVING over ESQ! Guests loved their digital jukebox and hearing their song selections played live. Everyone was up and having a great time singing and dancing along to their favorite songs.

Ray and Jenny are amazing to work with and go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly! I have also played with ESQ professionally, and they are complete pros at what they do - You can trust them to perform and exceed your expectations of what a string quartet can do and sound like!

My husband and I couldn't recommend Elegance String Quartet enough! We love them so much, we've even gone out of our way to look up when they are performing at public events so we can attend and hear more of their amazing music!

Elegance String Quartet provided live music for our wedding in Philadelphia, June 2024. We were incredibly pleased with the entire experience. Elegance String Quartet has a massive catalogue of songs to choose from - though they told us with a month or two heads-up they could learn just about any song we wanted, the bigger problem was choosing from the amazing list of songs they'd already mastered! 🙂 Additionally, they were very organized, reaching out to us at important milestones to check-in with us and schedule calls to plan everything the day. Finally, and most importantly, they are exceptional musicians. They played each song flawlessly and our guests were highly complimentary. Overall, our expectations were exceeded and we are so happy with our choice to have Elegance Quartet perform at our wedding!
