We hired the trio for our wedding on 9/3/23. It was absolutely beautiful! They played for my ceremony, despite the heat. My guests said it was a beautiful touch and they actually thought it was a recording because they were so talented. Definitely added a special quality to my ceremony.

HI, I'm Deborah Molodofsky, the Director of the The Amadeus Quartet. We are professional soloists as well as faculty at Amadeus Conservatory - hence the name of the quartet! After being asked to play at a friend's wedding 10 years ago, we had so much fun that we decided to form a professional wedding quartet. Since then we have been playing for weddings, cocktail hours and receptions throughout NYC, CT, NJ, and the Hudson Valley! Music is our passion. We look forward to making the most wonderful day in your life even more special with arrangements of your favorite pop songs!

We got married at the end of September this year. It was a pleasure working with Kristi to make our wedding cake selection. She met with us one afternoon and brought mini cupcakes,...

filling, and frosting in the selections we made. Everything was delicious it was hard to decide but she helped us come with something a little different that we loved and it was absolutely delicious on our wedding day. We are looking forward to eating the top layer in the next few months!

Amadeus String Quartet truly enhances the beauty of your ceremony. Throughout the planning process, Deborah was extremely knowledgeable, patient, warm, and honest. She is quick to...

respond to emails, and explains everything very clearly. Her and her fellow musicians are extremely talented and delivered 100% on everything that was agreed upon. I highly recommend Amadeus Quartet for any wedding ceremony. They have so many songs you can choose from. It's amazing how much they can play! Looking back, I wish we had them play during our cocktail hour in addition to the ceremony. If you can make it work in your budget, do it! Amadeus String Quartet is simply wonderful! Your guests will think so, too!

inly recommend them with no reservations! My only critique is the communication between contract signing and the event was a bit sparse. That said, they were very responsive as soon as I reached out. I would have simply liked a bit more pro-active communication.

in on viola, and David Moore on cello. Deborah was very responsive (even though I emailed her a million times) and we had them arrange Kashmir by Led Zeppelin and honestly it brought tears to our eyes. I only wish I attended the wedding so I could hear everything they played! I was so impressed with the range of music they offered, and wouldn't have trusted anybody else with this role. Thank you thank you Amadeus!

We booked the Amadeus Quartet to play at our engagement party a few weeks ago and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Being a professional musician myself, it was important for...

me a) to have music at the party and b) to have a really high level quality musicians. The Amadeus Quartet did not disappoint. Deborah, the director was extremely easy and friendly to work with and made me feel at ease from the booking process to the event itself. The Quartet have a huge repertoire ranging from classical to pop, so it suited all of our guests. We have booked them again along with their singer for our wedding - I can't wait!

verything from rock to classical with verve and charm. The ceremony was outside at a gorgeous spot at Red Maple Vineyards but was a bit chilly -- nonetheless, the quartet plus trumpet brave the elements and did a great job. They also learned in advance some special pieces that the bride & groom requested, which was much appreciated. Highly recommended.

ected but the performers didn't let that interfere with the beauty, vibrancy, or spirit of their playing. Deborah was easy to work with and overall the group was extremely professional and reliable. Some of my guests are very musically inclined and they were also thrilled. Highly recommended.

Amadeus was simply magical! They were at the church first preforming music as guests arrived, then as the bridal party entered, then as the bride entered... They continued to play ...

through out the service at designated readings, and then as the bride and groom walked out! The sound was truly beautiful. The vocalist and the trumpet player were superb....Right on tone, on key on beat..... I can't say enough good things about the Amadeus Quartet. They also played at our cocktail hour selected contemporary pieces... What a wonderful job they also did with these. They were prompt, courteous, professional, simply... the best! I would highly recommend them!

eautiful day. Deborah was very easy to work with and on the day of the wedding everyone was extremely professional. Since everything was planned in advance they came in on their own, set up and played wonderfully with such little involvement from us or the wedding venue. It was such a relief on what was a very busy day.
