Testimonials
"The Loring String Quartet performed as part of our wedding ceremony earlier this month and they were absolutely incredible. We are big music fans and wanted every musical element on our wedding day to be perfect. And even with a bar that high, the Loring String Quartet exceeded all of our expectations! From music selections through to their prompt and efficient communication prior to the big day, the team at the Loring String quartet were incredibly professional and a joy to work with. Their performance was the cherry on top that truly made our wedding a full and rich experience that we will never forget. We had many professional musicians among our guests (including a cellist from the the Met Opera in NYC) and they all were raving about the Quartet's performance. Bravo, Loring String Quartet - thank you so much for everything!" - Sarah 10/23/2022
"I cannot say enough great things about this quartet! They were wonderful to work with. I gave them some very contemporary songs for my wedding and they were able to play them all beautifully. It was easily one of my favorite parts of the day. My family has been in the violin business for a very long time. We have heard some of the best musicians around the world and we were all blown away by their talent. We are so lucky to have them in the twin cities! If you are looking for a string quartet, this is the group you need to hire." - Jessica 11/13/2022
"Put simply, the Loring String Quartet (LSQ) was nothing short of amazing for our wedding. This is both in terms of service during planning, as well as their performance the day of. From a service perspective, Conor is a true professional to work with, and provides a refreshingly honest perspective on things to consider when bringing their group in to perform. It's about more than "the sale" to LSQ. To them, it was about making sure they provided a quality experience of a lifetime through their music. [...] As such, no detail about our wedding was overlooked and the results were exceptional. The really amazing thing about LSQ is their vast array of music within their repertoire. It doesn't matter what you are looking for: classical, Baroque period, pop music, and anything in between. Their range of musical numbers spans across all generations. By the end of the night, your guests will all have found something to enjoy about the group's musical selections. To top it all off, they will also specially learn music for your event if it is not currently within their collection (and an arrangement can be found). When it came time for the group to perform at our wedding, the quality of their playing really shone through. As a musician myself, it is clear to me why LSQ has separated themselves as one of the top performance groups in the Twin Cities. [...] Trust me when I say, LSQ is worth the money spent. My wife and I could not have pictured a more wonderful atmosphere for our wedding, due in large part to the efforts of LSQ." - Marshall 6/7/2022
"Conor and his colleagues are superb musicians that provided a magical backdrop to our wedding celebration. Conor is delightful to work with and gives you confidence that this is one detail you will not need to worry about. Book them now — it will be one of the best decisions you make for your own wedding!" - Loren 9/23/2022
"The Loring String Quartet were an extraordinary part of our wedding day and I want to highly recommend them. The music was beautiful, most importantly - but the professionalism and the fact that The Loring String Quartet went above and beyond for us meant the world. We asked them to learn a pretty obscure song, which didn't even have sheet music available, and they did it with aplomb! It was a song that held great meaning for our family. Conor, who was our contact, was always on top of communication and he made it so that we never had to stress the music part of our wedding day. They were fantastic and my wife and I were so happy with how their music played such a big part of our day." - Michael 7/2/2022
