•Ariane S.•Apr 23
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jenny and her team and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From our first meeting, Jenny was so easy to work with, incredibly creative, offering fantastic ideas that truly elevated our wedding. We had classic violin for the ceremony, transitioning to electric violin for the cocktail hour, and DJ fusion (electric violin Dj) for the reception. Being an American-Brazilian couple, it was important for us to include Brazilian music. Jenny not only embraced this but had Claudia, one of the violinists, perform a Brazilian song during the reception, it was unforgettable and still gives me chills! If you’re looking for a music vendor who is talented, thoughtful, and truly dedicated, ESQ Is the one!!!

Dearest Ari and Ryan, I am so touched by your words, and beyond happy that you had the wedding of your dreams. It was an absolute privilege for us to provide the music for the entire day. From the tears we all shed witnessing your wedding vows, to the awesome Brazilian dance set near the end of the night, it was a nonstop celebration of all things made from LOVE! We clicked from our very first convo and over the months of planning, I just couldn't wait to see you two tie the knot. Thank you from my heart for trusting us! We will remember this day fondly for years to come! Beijos, Jenny

Tldr: If you are looking for talented live musicians, an organized (and truly lovely) planning team, and a wedding or event filled with beautiful music and dancing – book ESQ! We truly cannot say enough good things (and are looking for every excuse to book them again in the future)! ESQ was recommended to us by friends who were planning their wedding and had booked them. Our friends described them as fantastic to work with, very communicative, and organized. From our initial phone call with Jenny and Ray, we knew we had found our perfect fit for our wedding music professionals. We booked them and then got a preview of them in action at our friends’ wedding – where we had a blast dancing all night long – solidifying that we had made the right decision. Jenny with her contagious, positive energy and Ray with his strong attention to detail make an incredible team in the planning process. ESQ was truly a beacon of light during what is often a stressful planning process. Jenny and Ray got to know us and our relationship with each other, walked us through the flow of the event, brainstormed song choices with us, and were incredibly gracious with incorporating some last minute requests. ESQ made planning fun, personal, and they really took the time to understand us, the special moments we valued and wanted to highlight. Music is such a personal thing and choosing who represented the music at our wedding felt like a really big choice. We knew three things when we set out to find our wedding music professionals: (1) we wanted live music incorporated into the day; (2) we wanted a DJ for the reception for ultimate song choice flexibility (we have a wide range of music tastes and it sure showed at the wedding); and (3) we wanted a party on the dance floor. We honestly weren’t convinced that we could find a group that could do all three, but ESQ delivered on these three big things and more! ESQ stood out to us with their unique and talented string quartet, their fun and easygoing personalities, their professionalism and frequent communication, and how much they genuinely care about the couples they work with. Their repertoire is vast – we were overwhelmed (in a good way) with the vast range of songs they are prepared to play live. As for the actual wedding day, we may be biased but the music at our wedding was incredible. One of the things that drew us to ESQ in the first place was their dynamic ability to transition the music throughout the night – setting a romantic, timeless scene for our wedding ceremony with their live strings, transitioning to upbeat covers of modern songs for our cocktail hour, and really turning up the party with Jenny as the DJ and the accompanying electric strings. Our guests learned the choreography to Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go,” belted out Teenage Dirtbag, and were delightfully surprised by Simple Plan’s rendition of “What’s New Scooby Doo” (Trust me it’s a banger). You could not pry our feet from the dance floor – we (bride groom) with all of our guests danced the night away. As one of our friends remarked to us after the event “it was banger after banger and it was impossible to find a bad song to sneak away for a bathroom break.” ESQ was one of the most memorable parts of the day and our guests have continued to share how beautiful the ceremony arrangements were, how fun and unique ESQ was particularly during cocktail hour and the reception, and how sore they were the next day after all the dancing!

Dear Rachel and Tim, Your wedding was exceptionally fun and personal in every single way, and it was truly our HONOR to provide you with the entertainment for the entire event. We sincerely felt like we were celebrating our friends, and to know you were as happy as we were to be there means the world. Thank you for sharing this detailed review and your joy with others. Let's do it again! Love, Jenny
A Highlight of our Wedding day!

We absolutely LOVED having ESQ be a part of our special day and guests are still talking about how awesome they were. They played all the songs we requested and made our ceremony and cocktail hour so unique. Thank you!

Thank you, Karisa, for being the first one to review us on Zola! We still remember your awesome wedding at the Art Factory Studios, and even Matt's epic entrance to Still D.R.E! Sending you both my best wishes on behalf of the entire team. - Ray

To our Electric String Quartet we can add anything from vocals and electric guitar, to a live drummer, keyboardist, and even an MC. We customize to your event needs and work with some of the best musicians in the industry to create an expanded band with ESQ at its core.

We have a vast repertoire from standard classical to popular music and we update it every year. If you have a special song request that is not on the list, just ask and we'll be happy to work with you!

YES, a whole $1,000,000 liability policy! We would be happy to send your venue or event coordinator a copy of our COI.

Yes! However, due to the sensitivity of our instruments, we cannot perform under direct sunlight, in the rain, or when temperatures become extreme. If your venue cannot provide shelter for the instruments, special arrangements must be made prior to performance day (i.e. tent rental or space heaters).

If you desire the aesthetic of our traditional acoustic strings but have a guest count of more than 30 people for a reception, we amplify our instruments and play through a sound system in order to be heard. This allows us to adjust to the energy of the party without having to compromise our artistry.

It is customary that musicians are provided a meal if the contracted time for your event runs 3 hours or longer. We greatly appreciate the extra fuel to keep going!

We usually take a break every hour for 10 minutes. ESQ musicians are flexible and will work with you to coordinate break times for the benefit of your event.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Check and cash is also accepted. A 20% non-refundable deposit will be charged on the day you submit your signed contract, and the remaining balance will be due 14 days prior to your event.
