Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 13, 2024•From Baltimore, MD
They enquired about the style of music we wanted & provided suggestions for a variety of styles. We had a specific request that was not on their playlist, which they were able to accommodate. The duet was on time to the venue and ready to go as we arrived. The music itself was very enjoyable and we received many compliments from our guests. Overall, good experience.

We hired String of Pearls to play during our wedding ceremony and my only regret is, as the bride, not being able to hear their full set! We got so many compliments from our guests on how wonderful String of Pearls was! Susan of String of Pearls was also very accommodating when the song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to was not on their playlist. Susan found the sheet music online and had no problem performing the song. If we are ever in need of another string quartet we will absolutely reach out to String of Pearls!

I'm so happy we went with String of Pearls!! They did an absolutely amazing job. From our initial email to the end of our reception, Susan was available to discuss anything and to work with us to make sure our day went smoothly and worry free. I would recommend them to anyone!!

Susan was truly wonderful to work with---very professional, prompt in her responses, and so talented. She was able to create 4 whole new arrangements for us--adapting "What a Wonderful World," "Here Comes the Sun," "Don't Stop Believn," and "Call Me Maybe" to be instrumental. Even my guests commented on how nice the music (and fun) it was!
On top of it, she's such an accomplished musician and a real great value when you compare all of the other musicians listed in GigMasters. Book her before she fills up!

I didn't get to personally meet the musicians on my wedding day but, their music was absolutely beautiful. According to my directors, they were on time and very professional. It was a very special touch to our romantic wedding. Susan was awesome during the planning process, answering all of the questions that I had. Thank you!!

The quartet was really phenomenal! I wish so much I had had more time to enjoy listening to them and thank them for what an incredible job they did, but I was a little busy. The guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about them and it added such class to our special day. Thank you!

THE SUSAN JONES JAZZ QUARTET PERFORMED AT OUR HOME FOR A WEDDING ENGAGEMENT / CHRISTMAS PARTY, AND THEY WERE FANTASTIC. THEY ARE VERY ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIANS AND THEY WERE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE PARTY. BECAUSE WE WERE SO IMPRESSED, WE ARE GOING TO BOOK THEM FOR THE UPCOMING WEDDING. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANY SOCIAL EVENT; YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

I can't speak enough to the great experience we had with String of Pearls. We hired a pianist for our ceremony through them and they were extremely responsive, well coordinated, accommodating with our song requests, and offered recommendations to help us fill out our service. I was so extremely pleased as a bride to have not had to worry about this extremely important element of our day. Our sincere thanks to Jim Levy, our pianist, and to Susan Jones, the String of Pearls coordinator.

My husband and I chose String of Pearls for our wedding. They were wonderful, and played all of our requested non-repertoire songs perfectly - even Metallica sounded great. As a trio (guitar, bass, violin), they played our ceremony and then the cocktail hour. Our guests loved the music, and it was wonderful to walk down the aisle with my dad to one of my favorite Beach Boys' songs. My husband and I were so pleased, and could not recommend Susan and her crew more. They were professional, helpful, and above all, wonderfully talented musicians. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!

I was able to preview String of Pearls in a coffee shop in MD before they performed at my wedding. Susan was very professional and took several requests from me at the coffee shop. She communicated well via email and phone as we were planning for my wedding reception. She accommodated for all of my special requests, including learning new songs with her trio and adding 2 soloists last minute for my first dance and my father-daughter dance. She even provided a soloist (the bass player) for the mother-son dance. They are very good with improv and even invited one of my soloists up to sing additional songs. I'm so very pleased and would choose them to do it again.
