"Our experience with The Wisconsin String Quartet was wonderful. They played at our small ceremony on the beach. They added just the right touch of beauty to the whole thing. Dale was very good at contacting me and organizing their part of the event. He managed to get all our music that we wanted on very short notice. We had a violin and cello duo play and they did an amazing job of getting the parts of the music together for us even though we had some very off-the-wall music requests, and they managed to play the songs just as we heard them when we picked them, even though they did not have much time to prepare (only about one week for one song and not much more for another). Thank you for making our beach wedding everything we imagined it would be and more!"
Randie B., Sheboygan, Wisconsin

"The Wisconsin String Quartet was a lovely addition to our event. Our guests enjoyed the beautiful music they provided throughout the evening. They were very professional and accommodating which helped make our event a success!"

"The Wisconsin String Quartet was wonderful. They made my day all the more beautiful with their lovely performance."
Barbara W., Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin
"The Wisconsin String Quartet did a fantastic job during our wedding ceremony. We chose a number of classical pieces of music, as well as a more modern option from the list of songs on their website. The music sounded even better in person! In addition to sounding excellent, the professional approach taken during the booking and planning processes made this aspect of our wedding very easy. We definitely recommend their services!"
Kristin P., Oshkosh, Wisconsin
"Dale could not have been more pleasant to work with. He was very professional and I felt an instant rapport with him. As an out of town bride, planning a wedding from across the country, Dale did a great job organizing our music, making suggestions when I did not know which songs to pick, and the quartet even learned a new contemporary piece for our recessional. I received numerous compliments from my guests about the quartet's music throughout the evening and even after our wedding was over. I would definitely recommend The Wisconsin String Quartet to other brides. The quartet really made my special day even more spectacular."
Megan J., Madison, Wisconsin
"The Wisconsin String Quartet played for our daughter's outdoor wedding ceremony at the Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake, WI. They are an amazing group of musicians, and we had many, many compliments on their music. Dale was very helpful with music selections, and even gave us a recommendation for a vocalist who we also hired - John Becker - a fabulous tenor. We would hire them all again in a heartbeat!"
Merrie & Jack N., Kewaunee, Wisconsin
"I want to thank you so much! The string quartet was more wonderful than I could have imagined. My husband and I don't live in Wisconsin, so I was a bit nervous booking a vendor without meeting them, but I am so happy with how everything worked out. I thought the website samples were impressive, but the quartet sounded even better in person. And I was so impressed with how they knew exactly what to do without even rehearsing with us. I was involved with band and orchestra through middle school, high school and college, and I thought the musicians were very professional and fabulous. I am so happy that I used The Wisconsin String Quartet. You made our wedding day very special!"
Tina C., Phoenix, Arizona
"The Wisconsin String Quartet was an amazing addition to our wedding; they played both for our ceremony as well as during the cocktail hour prior to the reception. The music was breathtaking, and we received numerous compliments on how classy and elegant it was. You truly made our special day seem more like a romantic fairy tale that every girl dreams of for her big day. Dale was nothing but helpful and professional during the planning stages and right up to the big day, staying in touch with us throughout the process and offering suggestions. We highly recommend The Wisconsin String Quartet to others looking for that perfect addition to their wedding or party!"
Bridget R., Green Bay, Wisconsin
"Your string duo did an absolutely wonderful job. They set the perfect tone for a wonderful outdoor wedding. The music could be heard clearly from afar. It was absolutely perfect! They also joined our soloist to make a perfect memory of "our song" during the ceremony. I would recommend them any day."
Erin & Nick B., Waupaca, Wisconsin
"Our company’s 20th Anniversary Celebration was made all the more special by the addition of The Wisconsin String Quartet.

Sandy Griffith of Ortho Molecular Products, Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Thanks for helping us create such a beautiful atmosphere and amazing day!"
Kristin and Russell L., Green Bay, Wisconsin
"I would like to express our appreciation for the outstanding performance at our wedding at the Paine Art Center, Oshkosh. Your quartet was highly recommended by the Paine, and rightly so. We have received numerous comments from people who attended who were very impressed by the music selection and especially the quality. It is not often you get to see and hear that standard of music being played outside of a major city. Along with the great musical skills came the very professional presentation, punctuality and commitment to the performance. Elizabeth and I will be more than pleased to recommend your quartet to others."
Paul S., Oshkosh, Wisconsin
"A huge THANK YOU to The Wisconsin String Quartet! We are most thankful for your assistance in making our wedding celebration a most memorable occasion! You were kind enough to learn two special songs for us to finish and complete our Lambeau Leap themed wedding. You were very accommodating and we were very impressed by your music and your ability to play a wide variety of scores. I would highly recommend you to others looking to make their wedding or special occasion filled with beautiful music!"
Jamie & Denise F., Green Bay, Wisconsin

Ryan & Jenny D., Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
"The Wisconsin String Quartet played so beautifully for our daughter's wedding! We couldn't be happier! We are also pleased that we invested in the extra time to have you play during the lawn reception. The music set the tone for a beautiful day and was appreciated by all! Our many thanks!"
Sue & Randy S., Waupaca, Wisconsin
"I found information for The Wisconsin String Quartet online (quite by accident) as I was searching for helpful wedding planning websites. My son and his fiancé planned their wedding for the Minocqua, Wisconsin area; being from and living in Indiana made it more of a challenge to be a part of the wedding planning, but they were very open to the idea of having the string quartet play for their ceremony. Dale has been extremely helpful, professional, caring AND understanding throughout this past year, and the quartet proved to be a very beautiful addition to the wedding ceremony which was held this past weekend. The timing for all of the pieces we chose for the ceremony was excellent, and the music the quartet chose to play for the 15 minutes prior to and following the ceremony was exquisite! I would highly recommend this musical group to anyone planning an elegant event."
Deborah C., Auburn, Indiana
"The Green Bay Women Leaders Group at Procter and Gamble would like to thank you for beautifying our 30 Year Anniversary Event. You truly added to the elegance of the evening. So many of the women that were at the event complimented the choice of music selection you had chosen for the evening. I also would like to thank you for doing all the work in selecting just the right music; this was a huge time savings for me to not have to go over music selection. We could not have asked for a better and more accommodating string quartet, you did everything you could to make this a special night and you succeeded, it was a special night."
Cathy Frievalt of The Green Bay Women Leaders Group at Procter & Gamble, Green Bay, Wisconsin
"Our ceremony was beautiful and the weather was perfect, but by including the Wisconsin String Quartet, our wedding day was beyond anything we could have hoped for. The fact that they were professional and easy to work with was a great bonus!"
Sarah M., Rothschild, Wisconsin
"The Wisconsin String Quartet added a beautiful touch to our ceremony. They were very easy and professional to work with. They were also very accommodating and helpful in song selection. In an area of the country where people often think weddings can't be as elegant or beautiful as in bigger cities, the quartet really helped make our ceremony elegant and extra special. We had so many guests comment on what a nice touch they added!"
Amy & Nick G., Hewitt, Wisconsin
"From the very first email I sent to Dale back in April 2007, I was impressed. It was a pleasure working with Dale, who totally made it a stress-free experience. The quartet played for my daughter's outdoor wedding ceremony this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing. The wedding was beautiful from beginning to end and the quartet certainly added to the magical day. The quartet also played during the cocktail hour and various guests raved at how beautiful the music was, which made the event even more elegant. I would highly recommend The Wisconsin String Quartet and definitely hope I have the opportunity to work with them again."
Peggy & Mark O., Stevens Point, Wisconsin
"From the initial phone call with all of my questions to the wedding day, Dale Carlson and The Wisconsin String Quartet proved to be both personal and professional. Having a graduate degree in music myself, we hoped for some music that was not on their list of tunes. The quartet rehearsed and played one of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos just for us. They were dressed appropriately for the occasion and the tuning of instruments was impeccable. We are very satisfied customers."
Zach & Shannon B., Marshfield, Wisconsin
"Your string quartet was an excellent addition to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, you definitely added the elegant touch we were looking for. The music was beautiful and you were so helpful and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for your type of music."

I would HIGHLY recommend them to play at a wedding - you will not be disappointed at all. It added just the right element for the wedding - simply beautiful - I have heard so many wonderful comments. Perfect!!!"
Liz B. (mother of the bride), Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin

"The Wisconsin String Quartet is the best! You played beautifully at our garden wedding ceremony and during our cocktail and dinner hours! Thanks to all four of you for your finesse and professionalism. Special thanks to Dale for his prompt and helpful responses to my email messages. You made it much easier to plan a wedding from Boston in less than four months. Our friends and relatives raved about our choice to hire you to peform for us."
Michelle S., Green Bay, Wisconsin
"We wanted that extra touch to make our ceremony special, and your string quartet really provided that opportunity! I felt like I was getting married in Hollywood with the beautiful songs playing around me. I really felt like the string quartet gave our guests something to listen to that wasn't the ordinary organ music that many people have. It gave our wedding a classic feel, right in the heart of Wisconsin! I will never forget that feeling of walking down the aisle to such moving and beautiful music. I would definitely recommend your group to anyone! Please have them email me or give me a call if they would like a recommendation in person. I'll also be sending a written recommendation as well. Your group was phenomenal, and you were by far the easiest vendor I've ever worked with. Not once did you not immediately respond to my questions with suggestions or answers. You really have a wonderful group and you are a great person to deal with! Thank you again so much, Dale! People are still calling to say how beautiful everything was, and they were sincerely impressed by your group. Thank you again!"
Ryan & Sharon B., Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin
"The duet we reserved for our wedding was GREAT! They were so professional, knew exactly what to do (even though I as the groom didn't know what was going on half the time). In a hectic, exciting day they made it so easy for us to have beautiful music. The live music was exactly the icing on the cake for our day. Thanks again for everything."
Fred & Sarah M., Appleton, Wisconsin
"This musical group really provided the perfect backdrop for our Doty Park wedding. They were friendly, attractive, and extremely professional. I would highly recommend The Wisconsin String Quartet to any family wanting very special wedding music. We had SO many wonderful comments from our guests regarding the classical music."
Jan U., Neenah, Wisconsin
"I heard The Wisconsin String Quartet at a few weddings in the past and always said I would have them play at my wedding. When I got engaged it was one of the first things I booked. I have a musical background myself and I have been at weddings where the music has been off key, or maybe it was just my musical ear. But every time I heard The Wisconsin String Quartet they were perfect. They couldn't have been more perfect for our wedding. Even after my priest changed around the order of the ceremony at rehearsal
night they were able to play everything as planned at the correct times and sounded absolutely amazing. I tend to cry when I hear beautiful music, especially strings, and on that day I was calm as could be, until I heard them playing when I walked down the aisle. They truly are the perfect music for your fairy tale wedding that brings everyone to tears."
Michelle V., Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin
"Dale was a pleasure to work with in setting up my wedding ceremony music. He was easily accessible by phone or e-mail to answer any questions and offer assistance. He even gave me a sample recording of one of their performances to listen to. I received many comments from my guests on how elegant and relaxing the string quartet prelude and postlude music was. If you want your wedding ceremony to be extra special - I definitely recommend The Wisconsin String Quartet."
Cindy R., Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin
"I always dreamed of having a beautiful wedding and my dream came true, and I owe it all to The Wisconsin String Quartet. Everyone has come up to me to say it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to - one that will remain in their minds forever. As for my husband and myself, the most romantic day of our lives."
Rebecca W., Oshkosh, Wisconsin
