"I recently had the pleasure of having the Rondo String Quartet play at my wedding, and they were absolutely spectacular! From the moment I first reached out to them, they were incredibly professional and a joy to work with. They were actually the first vendor I hired, and they set the bar incredibly high.
Their performance was nothing short of magical. As I walked down the aisle, I felt like I was stepping into an episode of Bridgerton, surrounded by the enchanting sounds of their string quartet. They played marvelously, creating a beautiful and elegant atmosphere that all our guests raved about.
One of the standout features of Rondo String Quartet is their extensive repertoire of musical selections. They have an endless array of pieces to choose from, catering to every taste and preference. This versatility ensured that every moment of our wedding was perfectly underscored by the ideal musical accompaniment.
They truly were the highlight of our wedding. Their music added an extra layer of sophistication and emotion to our special day, and we couldn't have been happier with their performance. I highly recommend Rondo String Quartet to anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and enchantment to their event. They are simply AMAZING!
Thank you, Rondo String Quartet, for making our wedding day unforgettable!"

-Elizabeth, review on Wedding Wire, Meadowbrook Hall
"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.

-Susan, review from the Knot
"Rondo played at our wedding at Cherry Creek Golf Club. 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."

"Thank-you so much, Jessica and Rondo! Your music was absolutely stunning and you could not have been more accommodating! We had such a magical day. I wish we would have hired you for the entire evening."
-Rick, review from Wedding Wire, Colony Club, Detroit
"I highly recommend the Rondo String Quartet for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable musical experience for their wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The quartet's performance as I walked down the aisle truly elevated the traditional wedding ceremony songs and made them even more meaningful. It was a special moment that I will always cherish. Kim and the quartet also did a fantastic job during our cocktail hour, playing current songs that everyone recognized and could sing along to while enjoying cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Kim was very responsive and helpful when it came to providing our desired song list and timeline. We were also impressed by the large number and variety of genres that the quartet could play. Overall, the Rondo String Quartet added an extra touch of elegance and beauty to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with their performance. Thank you!"
