The Encore Quartet

My wife and I didn't know what to expect from our quartet but they did a awesome job! We had requested a couple of special songs to be played and they were able to come through for us. I would highly recommend them for anyone's wedding!

So easy to work with, what an elegant touch to our wedding. I loved having you guys play beautiful music for our special day.

The Encore Quartet provided beautiful ceremony music for our wedding. We had several special requests they eagerly accommodated for us, even arranging a version of a song they don't typically play. I had very specific requests (for example a specific portion of a song being played as I walked down the aisle), which they executed flawlessly. Our guests raved about how wonderful the quartet music was. I highly recommend these hard working musicians!

The Encore Quartet provided beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour! I was very impressed with their musical selection that they provided- some classics and some that I had never heard but really enjoyed! I was very happy that we chose to have the Encore Quartet over a DJ for the ceremony because it made it more personal for us.

We loved and felt so privileged to have Encore quartet play for our wedding ceremony! When I first met with Cathie, I teared up at the anticipation of our songs, and they delivered! The music on the day of the wedding was enchanting and beautiful, and made our ceremony a dream come true. We would absolutely recommend Encore, and hope to see them again in the future!

I recently had the Encore Quartet perform at my wedding. I am so glad I chose them because they play so beautifully. I had a specific request where I needed the music arranged and they put it together perfectly! They are professional and talented and I'm very happy to have had them in my ceremony.

A wonderful and incredibly talented group of musicians that made my wedding just perfect! Everyone was so kind and professional and arrived more than on time. My guests couldn't stop talking about the beautiful music and they made my walk down the aisle like a dream. I highly recommend them for any wedding/cocktail hour/reception! They bring such elegance and class to any wedding and entertain people by not only playing "classical" pieces but also fun popular and modern tunes. Thank you again!

Very organized. Were on time, dressed professional even in the AZ heat :), always confirmed every detail, and most of all the music was beautiful!!

Hi brides,

Just wanted to let you all know that I cannot recommend the Encore Quartet. Incredibly unprofessional. They were hired to play essentially 4 songs at my 20 minute wedding ceremony (and some pre-ceremony selections I did not choose). The song that they were supposed to play just for my husband and his parents as they walked down the aisle? Yeah, they played it for the entire bridal party too. We had 14 people in our bridal party! And the song was very special to my husband and his parents- it was Edelweiss. What we wanted for the bridal party was the more fun, bridal party-appropriate, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. Hearing Edelweiss for 10 minutes was NOT how we wanted to start off our wedding ceremony.

When I e-mailed the quartet, and mentioned my concern (in a very polite way, by the way), I was told to "call in to discuss." Well, I was leaving for my honeymoon that day. There was not even so much as an "I'm sorry we forgot to play 1 of your songs."

When you hire people to play 4 songs, and they only play 3, that is a HUGE problem in my book. And the way it was handled (NOT handled) after the fact means that I cannot recommend them and I actually think you should book any of the other wonderful Valley-area quartets instead.

So just a recap: hired to play 4 songs- only played 3- did NOT apologize- and we tipped the customary $20 a musician. Absolutely...

These girls are amazing! They arranged a special piece for me that I wanted (originally piano) and perfected it for my entrance. They gave our wedding just the ambiance we were looking for. We had several guests comment they were on point. They even arranged for us to preview their work! They are worth every penny and then some!

I was blown away by how amazing the quartet sounded the first time I heard them play and HAD to have them play at my wedding. They had a large selection of songs to choose from and even took songs that I requested that were not on the list and developed the music sheets for the string instruments. This quartet was very easy to work with and made my wedding ceremony even more magical for me. I would recommend the Encore Quartet to any and everyone because I was so pleased with their services. The sound was perfect and professional, I received several compliments from guests on our choice for ceremony music. If you are looking for live music for your ceremony, you will not regret choosing the Encore Quartet!

I loved their work! They were truly phenomenal! We wanted them to accommodate an excerpt from the Final Fantasy 7 victory theme in our kiss (because we're gamers), and they did it perfectly. I loved it! I loved Cathie's willingness to work with us, and even though there was a misunderstanding with the last payment (I thought I had paid her in person, but I didn't. I checked my books and found out that I sent her a money order and it didn't get to them in the mail - and it was the one time that I didn't put a tracker on it), she was more calm than I was. She was like, "Hold on. I will try to find it and take care of it." She still came for the day and played. We paid her for her services right after and was very happy she was understanding of the whole situation. It was one of the most stressful days of my life, but I was glad they were the ones that were there. Also, the variety of songs that they were willing to play - just awesome! Thanks you, Cathie and team!

The musicians of The Encore Quartet were outstanding! They are talented musicians that set the tone on our wedding day. They took the time to work with us, suggest songs, and were responsive to our phone calls up till the time of our wedding. They were very affordable and we would recommend them to anyone.

The ladies of the Encore Quartet did an amazing time at our wedding. We wanted 4 traditional Jewish songs, and they took the time to learn all of them. Their sound was amazing, timing was awesome and we felt very lucky to have them play for us.

I am so glad I had strings and a pianist play at my catholic wedding ceremony, it was absolutely beautiful! I remember walking out the back door, ready to walk down the isle to The Prayer and thought to myself “wow the music sounds perfect for my grand entrance!” I was very impressed by the lengthy repertoire list and having the choice to customize a special song. Having a large variety allowed me to select the perfect instrumental pieces and traditional music selections for my traditional Catholic mass. The Encore Quartet is very professional and many of our guests complimented our ceremony selections. I am very happy I was able to have such talented musicians at my ceremony. I would highly recommend this group to anyone, they really have a way at making classical music come to life and they are very affordable. Thank you for making my big day perfect!

Their music was perfect for our ceremony. I love the fact that they were able to play our favorite song from Pride and Prejudice for us. They were also able to work with a family member that wanted to perform a song of particular importance to us. Everything was so beautiful and they were great to work with. Very friendly and nice group!

The Encore Quartet provided our beautiful ceremony music. With a strong knowledge of the Catholic wedding mass, the Encore Quartet was easy to work with and able to suggest appropriate music throughout the mass. The music sounded beautiful and we were very please with how the cermony flowed.
