Left Coast Quintet

We hired the Left Coast Quintet to perform at my Army retirement ceremony, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. They arrived early, set up without any issues, and were ready to begin right on time—something that speaks volumes about their professionalism. The quality of their performance was exceptional; each piece was played beautifully, creating a warm, dignified, and memorable atmosphere that everyone in attendance commented on. They were friendly, accommodating, and clearly passionate about their craft, which made working with them a true pleasure. Their music elevated the ceremony from special to unforgettable, and I can’t thank them enough for making the day so meaningful. I would highly recommend the Left Coast Quintet to anyone looking for top-tier musicians who deliver both artistry and professionalism.

They were super easy to work with and a HUGE hit at our wedding. They really just elevated the ceremony and made our day even more special. My husband teared up just hearing them warm up before the ceremony! Truly just added so much elegance and whimsy to our magical day. They responded in a timely manner and had all the songs we wanted. 100% would recommend!

We hired Dan and the Left Coast Quintet for our wedding at the Safari Park and we're so happy we did. We hired them for welcome music, procession, recession, and a brief 15 minute cocktail hour. Working with Dan was great - he's super friendly and great at reminding us of deadlines. Choosing our songlist was challenging - especially because the quintet sends over this giant spreadsheet with hundreds of songs that they are able to play.. but luckily they knew the songs to match our general vibe. For the welcome music and cocktail hour, we were looking for broadway/Disney music with special emphasis on musicals/movies that we love. We had specific song requests for the processional and recessional. The Left Coast Quintet handled everything perfectly - they nailed our welcome/cocktail music (and we got so many compliments from guests). We were too busy taking photos to really enjoy it, but I'm pretty sure our best photos were when the quintet played Defying Gravity. The quintet also seamlessly looped Concerning Hobbits during our longer than expected processional which I really appreciated. It's a bit awkward because we never actually talked to the quintet.. they just sort of appeared before our processional and left after our cocktail hour.. Regardless, they did an awesome job and I'm super happy we hired them. Thank you for making our wedding great.

I had two high-profile work events that needed music during the cocktail reception. I connected with Dan, and he was amazing to work with. They worked with me to cultivate a playlist that worked for our audience, showed up on time and were professionally dressed, and played beautifully. I highly recommend them for your ceremony or reception.

Dan/LCQ team curated and performed the most beautiful ceremony music for our big day. We appreciate their genuine love and dedication to making our ceremony so special and memorable and going above and beyond to learn and play a wind acoustic version of my dream bridal entrance song. LCQ was an integral part in making our wedding day everything I dreamed it would be and more: the ceremony music was beautiful, timeless and unforgettable. Thank you so much for curating the perfect songs and most importantly, for making my very particular request for the “Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful” song (the DREAM bridal entrance song) into a reality. It was perfect. Thank you so much for being a part of our ceremony!

The Left Coast Quintet was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. Wanting to do something different than the average wedding ceremony, we were inspired by Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" that pairs short musical movements with a narrated story. The group's main contact, Dan, was enthusiastic about the idea and graciously spent hours with us over the phone to help us perfectly pair musical selections to each segment of our ceremony from their extremely vast song list across all different genres. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out and continue to receive rave reviews from our guests!

I used Left Coast Quintet for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were amazing! Sounded great, easy to work with, punctual and professional. They even added a song I requested that was not on their list. I would highly recommend for any event. Thank you so much for being part of our special day.

Dan and his quintet were absolutely fantastic to work with. They played a beautiful set for our wedding, including guest welcome, ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception. The quintet was able to accommodate three different custom arrangements and played them beautifully. Dan also helped us with announcements/MC and went above and beyond to help the event run smoothly. Thank you so much, Dan and Left Coast Quintet!
