Frequently Asked Questions

What are your rates?

Our rates vary depending on your needs. Take a look at my Rates to see prices for each package I offer.

Do you travel for events?

We serve the West Michigan community, traveling within an hour of the Grand Rapids area. Travel fees will apply to venues outside of Grand Rapids.

Could I listen to recordings of your quartet?

Of course! You can find those here.

Do you need a microphone?

This depends on the space we’re playing in, how many people are in attendance, and what they are doing when we play. We very much prefer not to be mic’d, especially for wedding ceremonies. There are things happening behind the scenes for your musicians to make your day seem effortless, and if we are mic’d, you will hear us whispering. Please inquire with us directly before we arrive at the venue about microphones.

Are there limits to the spaces you can perform in?

Yes. String instruments are delicate and require stable temperatures and weather conditions. We cannot play in conditions such as: rain, lightning, high winds, temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, or temperatures below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If there is rain on the day of the contracted event, all musicians must be covered. If temperature conditions are outside of our playable range, all musicians must be moved inside.

There are also some venues that we have decided not to perform cocktail hour music in due to the loud nature of their acoustics. A list of these venues can be provided upon request, or we will alert you if we cannot perform at your venue upon inquiry.

Can you play _____________?

Depending on the package you choose, we can add up to two new songs for your event that aren’t already on my repertoire list. However, I need to be able to find the sheet music for the song first. Songs typically need to be from the Top 40, popular movies, or AAA games to be arranged for string quartet, so unique songs may take some more time to find (if I can find them at all). If you send me a list of music to search for, I can take a look for the sheet music. If I can find the music, we can play it!
