"Thank you so much for a wonderful performance! You guys were amazing and my guests absolutely loved it"

Music provides the ambiance and emotion at weddings, and LCQ has been honored to perform at over 200 of these special celebrations of love and commitment. We have built an amazing library of custom arrangements spanning Baroque/classical, jazz, pop, show tunes from Broadway, and Hollywood movie & film scores. Our music provides a grand and jubilant atmosphere of celebration! 

LCQ has been featured at the majority of wedding and event venues in San Diego, including historic and grand hotels, vineyards, beach-side locations, public parks, and private homes. We are both elegant and fun, unique and traditional, and are comfortable performing in almost any environment. Since 2014, we've performed at so many celebrations of marriage, we know the "behind the scenes" and the "what to do or not do" that make the day go easier. 

Pricing for the Left Coast Quintet varies by wedding, and depends on the time we are there for, any custom arrangements that need to be created, and distance to the venue. On average our clients pay $1250 for a two hour wedding/cocktail hour booking with the quintet, or $950 for the trio. We offer one hour bookings for locations in Central San Diego, and also offer discounts to military, first responders, and teachers - thank you for all you do!

Update for January 2023 - we are so thrilled to be awarded the Wedding Wire and The Knot Best of Weddings in San Diego for musical ensembles!

Thoughts From Our Clients:

"I hired the Left Coast Quintet for my wedding ceremony and was absolutely blown away! I am a professional musician myself and pretty picky about what I wanted, but Dan and his team were very professional and prepared the unusual excerpts that I wanted perfectly.  My only regret is that, as the bride, I couldn't just sit and enjoy their performance!"
-Rachel M, Crossings at Carlsbad

"Left Coast Quintet were amazing to work with, and  provided exceptional performance for our ceremony. We had very particular requests for the music we wanted played, and they met and exceeded our expectations. Dan was easy to communicate with and was always available to answer any questions. My wife and I would give them 10 out of 10 and highly recommend them."
