The Wellington String Quartet is a group of conservatory-trained violinists, cellists and string players in Chicago who have over a decade of experience performing at all types of events and hundreds of wedding ceremonies. We play at all types of outdoor weddings as well as religious services. Welcome family & friends with string quartet music as they arrive before the wedding ceremony. If the wedding ceremony is in a small garden, we will make the live music sound warm and delightful. In cathedrals, we will make the music sound religious and grandiose. Celebrate with modern music by Katy Perry, Coldplay, Stevie Wonder, and 60's hits by The Beatles during the cocktail hour - all in string quartet setting! Our state-of-the-art sound system ensures that all your guests will be able to hear the musicians in the background while they are talking during cocktails or while dinner is being served. We have all the musicians and resources to make your day musically charming and unforgettable! |

I wanted to tell you how pleased we all were with Emanuel and Gabriel's performances at Saturday's wedding. The ceremony music was so lovely, I'm just sorry that I could not have sat in on the entire prelude to the start of the ceremony. Thanks to you all for hunting down those Celtic pieces, they turned out beautifully! I loved the cocktail hour music. The guys seemed to really be into it, and I got some great feedback from our guests, especially on the rock songs! Overall, the performance was exactly what I had in mind! Well done! ~ Mary Lee Culligan (mother), Women’s Athletic Club:

Of all the vendors who made our wedding day special, we were especially grateful for Wellington Strings. Many of our guests, whom also included musicians, let us know how much it meant to them.

We will be watching AND listening to our wedding video with great pleasure in years to come. ~ Anna Teresa Evans and Phil Evans, Byron Colby Barn
I booked Wellington Strings for my wedding in August 2008. I cannot speak highly enough about the Wellington Strings' responsiveness and professionalism, and the musicians' splendid performance! ~Jennifer Tsai, Pazzo's Cucina
The music was so beautiful, so professional, and so worth the cost!!!!!! I was nervous prior to walking down the aisle with my father so while waiting I focused on the music being played and closed my eyes -- the music totally relaxed and made me smile. I was so happy. I would recommend string trio to anyone/everyone debating string performance at ceremony. Your performance exceeded my expectation!! ~ Michelle Betance, Pazzo's Cucina
The music was so wonderful for my daughter's ceremony.... you and your group did a fantastic job. We have received many compliments from our friends who attended the church ceremony on how much they enjoyed listening to the string quartet. ~ Maureen Collins, St. Mary of the Lake Church
