Clover String Quartet

We hired Clover String Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and through dinner. They provided a great blend of classical string quartet feeling with a really hip mix of contemporary music as well. Cecille helped guide my selection of music by asking which movements we preferred of the classical pieces we selected. We rented the microphones for the instruments through Clover Strings per Cecille’s suggestion which was incredibly helpful during dinner when our small party of 45 became a bit boisterous.
Clover String Quartet went above-​and-​beyond and learned and adapted a special piece for our bridal entrance song, Mozart Serenade for Winds K.361, 3^rd movement. It was a magical moment for me to say the least. They also coordinated with a family member to play an Elvis piece together in a special performance. Their collaboration with our family member was so beautiful we had to get up from our delicious dinner and dance. Our guests were so moved they gathered around to watch us dance.
Really professional musicians, wonderful service, and reasonable cost. A++++++++++++++++

I unfortunately was not able to get a response from them either. I emailed about 3 times, then I heard back one day, then I asked for a quotation to be sent over so I could pay a deposit and hire the group, and still no response. And I’ve asked multiple times, still willing to overlook the lack of responsiveness. But I cannot take a chance on my wedding day that they will not show. Too much of a risk.

Just had them back to play at my wedding. Still wonderful!

I hired a trio to play at my wedding reception. I got so many compliments. They played beautifully.

They played my wedding on June 28. First, the positives.
Cecille, prior to the wedding was prompt and responded to all of my questions and general inquiries. Second, the band was presentable and dressed appropriately on the day of. Finally, the songs that they did played were done very well and sounded great.
And now the negative…
I specifically hired the group for one reason: I always wanted to have my bride walk down the aisle playing one specific song. Cecille said no problem. I gave her that song and a Handful of others to play, I also gave specific instructions on when they were to be played. I asked if they needed anything else from me, they asked I pay in cash– which I did. No other questions.
On the day of, I greeted the musicians and asked multiple times if they needed anything whatsoever, they said they did not.
Then, come to find out, 15 minutes before the actual ceremony one of the musicians arrives without sheet music and without any knowledge of what she was playing. Come to find out– my friends saved the day and printed everything out. I only found out yesterday because my friends wanted to make sure I wasn’t stressed over this unprofessionalism right before I said my vows.
Second,
My main problem with this group is that when I was standing at the altar waiting for my bride to come down, waiting to see her with the music I always envisioned being played, instead they screw up again and start playing that particular song that I specifically requested for the bridal entrance and went ahead and played it for the bridal party entrance. Moment ruined. Their sole purpose for why I hired them was not executed. How hard can it really be? I was given the excuse that they couldn’t see or hear the proper cue– they should have said their vision was blocked. Why did they improvise? Why were they not able to wait and know that as soon as the guests stood that it was obvious it was the bride who was entering? For crying out loud, I was married in a friends backyard, it wasn’t very big. They should have paid attention to detail, they should have asked questions they should have expressed they needed help to know exactly when to be cued.
I’m so disappointed, and it has been a full month since the wedding. I had high hopes, I gave clear instruction and I asked repeatedly if they needed anything to do the job that I hired them to do. I feel like I was blown off and that they were none too sympathetic with how they messed up this very special part of the wedding.
People who are looking to hire this group needs to be aware that this lack of preparedness. It’s simply unacceptable.

Just hired clover string for my wedding in Pasadena this past Memorial Day weekend. They were dressed very nicely, on time and people enjoyed their music.
My wife and I loved their huge song selection and all the pop songs they had. We got great feedback from our guests.
We opted to go with the trio which worked well. I would recommend them for your next event.

They sounded great! We had our wedding at the SLS in Beverly Hills. Their sound and style fit right in with the prestige of our event and venue! I’ve heard other quartets, but the list of the contemporary and current songs is more than reason enough to have Clover Q play for your event!
We had a lot of guest compliment us and said they were the prelude to a beautiful event, a sign of class and wish they could hear more.
Our ceremony and cocktail hour ran over time but they continued to entertain!
Thank you CQ! Please make me a CD!

Definitely not professional. After reading Clover String Quartet’s 5-​star reviews, I emailed them on August 9^th about performing at my wedding in June 2014. I provided all the information that they requested on their website. When I did not receive a response after 10 days, I even called them on the chance that they did not receive my email. It has now been 10 days since I left a voice mail message for them. Still no response. I have happily booked another string quartet who responded to my email the very same day.

The Clover String Quartet did an absolutely beautiful job at our wedding. They played both the 30 min before the ceremony, the ceremony, and our cocktail hour. I can’t even count the number of people who came up to me to tell me how much they enjoyed their playing. Everyone especially enjoyed the versions of contemporary music before the ceremony — I feel jealous I didn’t get to sit and listen! We requested very specific songs for our ceremony but let them pick the songs for the time prior to the ceremony and cocktail hour. They did a great job with selecting music too — which made less work for us!
Cecille, the manager and one of the musicians, was so easy to work with. She was always so prompt to respond to emails and was very friendly. I think it was one of the best features of our wedding.

Clover Quartet played our wedding — specifically, when the guests arrived, the ceremony, and the first part of the cocktail hour before the DJ took over. Can’t recommend them highly enough. They specially learned the ‘non-​traditional’ song we requested for the ceremony entrances (they can pretty much do any song), and played everything from classical to Nirvana during the rest of their set. Our guests loved them!

We hired Clover String Quartet for our wedding ceremony and they were superb! They beautifully played all the songs we requested. When I heard them play ‘Hallelujah,” the song I walked down the aisle to, I nearly cried. My fiancé was ecstatic that they played the Star Wars Throne Room Theme Song when he walked down the aisle. In spite of our unconventional song requests, they were able to accommodate our requests well. We couldn’t have chosen a better quartet!
They are very professional and punctual too. I would recommend them to anyone.

The Clover String Quartet is an absolutely wonderful and talented group of musicians who can make any occasion extra special!
I have seen the quartet play on many occasions and hired them to play for our wedding. The were über-​professional, open to any suggestions /​ideas to help make our day just right, and their performance was absolutely perfect.
It’s always hard to find the right group for the occasion, but assure that you will be more than pleased with the Clover String Quartet. I will continue to recommend them to friends, family, and anyone else who’s looking for the perfect quartet for the ultimate occasion.

We’ve been to over a dozen performances. Each one with a unique and special signature. Taylor-​made to audience. Classical to contemporary. No bounds. Great for private and corporate parties.

Professional, friendly, and masters of classical, contemporary, and just about anything you ask them to play!
I wanted to add a nice touch to my wedding by having a quartet play for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Live music always takes it up a step up, you know!
I worked with Clover String Quartet early in the planning process and chose some classical and modern songs (coldplay, U2, FIve for Fighting) for the ceremony. For the cocktail hour, I asked that they play some fun songs– to which they played the score from The Godfather and the groom’s favorite — Zelda!
The quartet was very professional and easy to work with. As a bride, it was so nice to not have to worry about this one detail.
My advice– book them! and book them early! an IMPRESSIVE touch to any big gathering!
