    I recommend European String Quartet.  Ive used them for a corporate event and have them contracted for our wedding as well.  They are a group of educated professional Polish women and I really enjoyed working with them in December.

    That's a pretty good price! I thought I got a good deal by paying $836 for a string trio + trumpet and then a duo will come to cocktail hour. Affinity Music Company.

    You could always check in with the music departments at local universities. Northwestern has an amazing music program (undergrad-doctoral). It may be possible to contact them and see if there are any student ensembles that would do this. They will most likely be just as talented, but likely cheaper (since they are students)

    We are having my FI cousin and her friends perform.  They play sting insturments and do it for practice/enjoyment and much cheaper than any vendor you'll find.

    Maybe you could check Vandercook or even Craigslist?  You could even post of Craigslist for musicisions?
