April at Cherry Blossom was immediately friendly and easy to work with. They are true professionals about the whole planning process and of course, their music is lovely. They had a nice play list of non-traditional, but still beautiful wedding music and set a wonderful tone for our intimate ceremony. I missed most of cocktail hour, but they played through that and everyone loved them. Several people asked for their contact info for their future events, which is the highest praise!

We booked the Cherry Blossom String Quartet for our ceremony music and I highly recommend you do the same! Their selection of music is so great, especially if you want to go with something that isn't very traditional. Erin was very responsive to all my questions. On the day of, their music was just perfect and made the ceremony so special.

We booked the Cherry Blossom String Quartet for our ceremony in October 2011. I highly recommend them! They have a wide variety of music to choose from. If you're looking for something different from the traditional wedding march, they will definitely help you out with that. My husband and I enjoyed listening to their sample CD; the music was just beautiful! April was really patient, helpful, and professional with us. We were really happy they played at our wedding; they made our day extra special!

We were so pleased with the Cherry Blossom String Quartet from our first contact to the actual wedding day :-) All correspondance occurred through April, who is a member of the quartet. You can listen to the quartet playing their music on their website, and April also sent us a CD to help with music selections. They play a wide repertoire of both classical and modern songs. The quartet's music added a special touch before and during the wedding ceremony. They moved quickly from one song to another with no long periods of silence. April even wrote us a thank you note after the wedding and sent her good wishes to the new couple. I guarantee that you'll be very pleased if you chose the Cherry Blossom String Quartet for your wedding!

They were fabulous. I was originally on the fence about having a string quartet for my ceremony because I thought it would be out of my budget, but my mom insisted. After looking at pricing for the DJ's extra hours the cost difference was minimal to get CBSQ and it was worth every penny. They made quite an impression on everyone and I received multiple compliments. They were very easy to work with and provide great suggestions to make the ceremony your own (they have a vast and varied repertoire). I would highly recommend them, not just for a wedding, but any occasion that calls for live music.

The CBSQ was amazing! We had them before the wedding, cocktail hour and then for dinner. So many of our guests raved about how much they loved them. Erin was on top of everything. They had played several times at the location where we were to be married, so they knew what to do. They were the easiest vendor we had to deal with. And the end result was great. Since we had them for the dinner hour, I was able to enjoy them. And they were definitely worth the money! Beautiful music! Thanks!

CBSQ did an awesome job with our wedding! They were extremely easy to deal with and Erin is exceptionally responsive! She always responded to my questions faster than I could come up with them, which gave me great ease that my wedding day would be in good hands. Although I didn't really have time to listen to them (very sad about that) I have heard they were really good, and I can't wait to see footage from our videographer so we can hear them play!

I had a great experience working with Erin from the Cherry Blossom String quartet. She is very responsive and I had no problems conversing with her over email during the entire booking process. What I loved most is how you can listen to huge selection of their music on their website. They arrived right on time, played beautifully, and were very professional. By far one of the easiest vendors to work with. Just fill out a form, send in a check, and they do the rest!

I never saw or met the Cherry Blossom String Quartet in person, but I worked with Erin on planning the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour via email and by listening to the music on their website. They were so professional and they sounded amazing. Our guests really enjoyed the music. I would recommend Cherry Blossom String Quartet to any bride who is looking for a group that is easy to work with and plays beautiful music. Thanks CBSQ!

To be honest, I initially didn't even want a string quartet, but my Dad pushed for one. I'm glad that he did, because the music was so beautiful during the ceremony. We also had CBSQ play during our Cocktail Hour, and people commented on how classy it was to have the string quartet during the cocktail hour too!

Working with Cherry Blossom String Quartet was a pleasure from the very first contact straight through the wedding day. Erin, who was my point of contact, was extremely professional and eager to help. I loved the unique repertoire of Cherry Blossom, which includes a huge selection of popular music in addition to the classics. My bridal party recessed to "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay, which was fabulous!!!! Cherry Blossom played our ceremony music and during our cocktail hour, and I could not be more pleased with the level of talent and service they provided. A++++++ I recommend them whole-heartedly!

CBSQ did the music for our ceremony and I have nothing to say but...Fantastic!! They were very professional, flexible, and so easy to work with. They sounded wonderful at the event and worked seamlessly with our church's organist and my wedding planner. I had absolutely no worries about them beforehand and was completely satisfied with their performance. And I think the bonus is their website, where you can listen to clips of them playing all the usual wedding songs. This was tremendously helpful to us in choosing music for the wedding.

We had the Cherry Blossom String Quartet play during the ceremony at my wedding in October. Absolutely beautiful.... Not only were they professional, on time, easy to work with... but their music was just amazing. They really made my ceremony special. I would highly recommend this group.

Love love love the Cherry Blossom String Quartet! They were so easy to work with and did such a wonderful job at our wedding. I wish I had been able to listen to everything they played but we had so many of our guests rave about them. I hope everyone of my friends books them for their wedding so I can hear them again and again.

We hired the Cherry Blossom String Quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding and they did not disappoint! In fact we got so many compliments on how elegant they made the wedding! I worked with Erin who helped me decide on the ceremony songs which can be a difficult task! CBSQ can play anything from classical to modern day songs. I highly recommend using them for any event!

Excellent string quartet. Erin was incredibly easy to get in touch with and was quick to reply with suggestions/advice:) The planning process was very easy and all of the communication was via email and phone...very easy for a busy bride. Excellent variety of song choices. We had lots of compliments on our song choice as we walked out of the gardens as husband and wife (Coldplay "Clocks"). The ceremony music was amazing and we received compliments from guests for the variety of music played during the cocktail hour. Highly Recommend:)

My husband (then-fiance) found CBSQ and what an excellent choice it was. They added elegance to our ceremony and cocktail hour, were extremely professional and well-organized in the planning, and worked well with a friend who sang during the ceremony even though they only had a short time to practice with her pre-ceremony. We recommend them whole-heartedly.

The main reason I hired Cherry Blossom was because I wanted to have Journey for our recessional. Although I never got to really hear them, I know they were great. They played at my sister's wedding, and a friend's wedding earlier this year. Definitely worth it!
