I hired the Clinton String Quartet for my wedding ceremony this past July after we tried to go through another music group that was twice the cost. They did a beautiful job! The ceremony was absolutely stunning in large part because of the beautiful string music they played. It was absolutely perfect! And for half the cost of what I was previously about to pay. Highly recommend this group!
