applause Adrian
Hoffman CBC Radio 2, Host and Producer “Rachel’s
music was a perfect addition to NSBI’s 2008 holiday gathering. She
greeted our guests with her classical melodies and created a wonderful
ambiance that can be tricky to achieve in an office setting." Stephen Lund
"I
am very happy to recommend the outstanding musical talents of Cortland
Music. This group of classical musicians have been making wonderful
musical contributions at Dalhousie University for many years. They play in
all kinds of venues and to all sizes of audiences, and they always add to
the quality and spirit
of our events. "Having
had the opportunity to work with Rachel over the past five years,
I never worry when she is on the job. From planning through
to execution, Rachel is extremely organized, flexible and
professional. Her beautiful classical music adds a simple elegance
to our events."

played for our Members and guests on several occasions and has been a

delight, our Members insist that she continues to be invited back to

reception and dinner. We look forward to working with Rachel again in the
future!"

definitely added the touch of ambiance and elegance to the
Microcredit Summit Meet & Greet that I was looking for, without the overpowering
sounds of a group, or the elevator-feel of piped-in music."

recommend your services to other brides I know. Thanks so much!”

groups "Having The Cortland Quartet play at our wedding was a great decision. Rather than recorded music playing from a speaker; the live music, beautifully played by the professional musicians of the Cortland Quartet, really created the classic and romantic ambiance we desired for our ceremony. Brides and grooms often run into dilemmas with various vendors & service providers, but Rachel was extremely easy to work with, and because of her organizational skills, everything went perfectly as planned. I've determined (after many compliments from our guests) that a string quartet playing at your ceremony adds more to the atmosphere of a wedding than any amount of flowers and tulle!" Claudia
Whitehead "Everyone
raved about the wonderful performance and the professionalism of The
Cortland Quartet. The music was beautiful and added elegance and
sophistication to my wedding. Rachel Matthews was a professional from the
time of booking, helping me with music selection, assisted me with the
procedure, and checked in on me to help remind me of things I may have
forgotten during this busy time. My only regret was not booking them for a
longer time.
Pam Woodman, bride, August 2006
Diane Royle, Mother-of-the-groom, August 2006
"I
could not have been more pleased with the music played by The
Cortland Quartet. I would highly recommend this group to anyone
planning a wedding or similar event. Rachel is wonderful to deal with; she
is professional and polite. Rachel ensures all the details of the music
will be executed perfectly and does this in a calm, warm and caring
way".
Krista Royle, bride, August 2006
"I
have absolutely no complaints with the service that you provided at our
wedding. I thought you sounded amazing, and a lot of our guests commented
on how great the quartet was. Thanks again for everything. I will
definitely recommend you to others."
Beth McCormack, bride, October 2006

Hannah, Sales Manager
“I
have had the privilege of working with The Cortland Quartet on many
occasions. Along with their amazing sound, they are able to
accommodate various types of weddings and events. They have gone above and
beyond on many occasions to ensure that each event is a success. I
appreciate Rachel’s ability to recommend or re-arrange music to suit a
specific need or style of event. Having The Cortland Quartet play at
your event adds that touch of elegance and sophistication.” Mahoganey

both the presentation and the performance. Thanks for adding a
touch of elegance to our wedding ceremony!"

just wanted to thank you for making our day all the more special.
Everyone commented on how beautiful the music was and some people even
commented on songs they recognized and enjoyed. Knowing, and
hearing, the two of you were there made nerves a little less of a problem!

wedding next year and plan on giving glowing recommendations to anyone who
asks. Thanks again, you were extremely easy to deal with and even
