" When Greg asked me to marry him, we chose a day only three months out. We thought that we would never be able to find a decent string quartet, which was high on our list of must haves. We could not have been more wrong. Bruce was not only easy to work with, helping us plan all of the music for our day, but they sounded wonderful! We used them for pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception music. All of it was so beautiful. Bruce and his staff were both professional and friendly and they gave us the touch of elegance that we wanted for our wedding day." - Greg and Donna Sobiech, Burbank, CA

"Creating a memorable event for my father's 70th birthday celebration, was quite a challenge, especially since I lived nearly 400 miles away!

Without hesitation, I would recommend them to anyone wishing to add a classy and elegant touch to a special event."- Mark Hanna, The Hanna Agency, Walnut Creek, CA

"For our big wedding day, we wanted to set a tone that would convey a feeling of warmth. Apart from our venue at the beach and the floral decorations, we knew that only one more thing could accent our event and provide the perfect setting- live music. Our appreciation of live music would ultimately lead us to explore the idea of commissioning a string quartet to perform while our guests arrived and throughout our ceremony, which was to be the most important aspect of our wedding event. After meeting with Bruce Mallette, we knew we had found the missing piece to the puzzle. The Mallette String Quartet performed various classical and contemporary string selections with grace and elegance, leaving our guests, myself and our families, in utter awe. Looking back on our special day brings the fondest of memories, thanks to the help of our friends, the Mallette String Quartet and the precious gift of the beautiful music they chose to share with us."- Anna and Bryan Jerden, West Hills, CA

"Thank you so very much for helping make our dreams come true, the evening was absolutely fabulous! Truthfully, we were running about an hour behind schedule, but you and your trio arrived, took care of what needed to be done, spoke and coordinated with our reverend and "Voila!"...our evening was magical. Your professionalism and 100% attention to us was very appreciated. Once again, thank you very much for your superb performance!!"- Evelyn and Mark Sasabuchi, Torrance, CA

"We had the privilege of enjoying our own good judgement by employing the Mallette String Duo to provide live music at both our wedding ceremony and reception. Based on the size and location of the events, we opted for what we hoped might be a more classy and intimate type of music rather than just choosing a DJ or playing a pre-recorded CD. We were very happy with our selection- the string duo arrived on time, provided appropriate and very well-played music and greatly contributed to the truly special memories of the day."- Joel and Sheril Sydanmaa, Playa Del Rey, CA
