Norbert, 
Wow!! What can I say. The music was absolutely beautiful. Your quartet got rave reviews from all of our guests. So many people commented on the song selections and how gorgeous the strings sounded!!! I only wish I was able to hear all of it but I was tending to the bride until the last minute. Please extend a thank you to all of the musicians for us. We were so pleased about the entire ceremony, but especially the music and solos. We appreciate all the hard work your staff did to prepare for the ceremony. It turned out just fantastic and we can't thank you enough!!! Thanks for a beautiful ceremony. Your quartet was truly "Music of the Night!"
Sincerely,
John and Vicki A. - Hotel Crescent Court, Garden Terrace, May 2008 

. . . I want to thank you for the beautiful job you did at our wedding!!!  The music was gorgeous!  Thank you thank you! I will definitely be referring you in the future!
~Keely R. - First United Methodist Church, Dallas, September 2007

We want to thank you so much for all that you did to make the music for Allison and Taylor's wedding so beautiful. We had so many compliments on the wonderful music program; our guests just loved it! Your version of Sigur Ros "untitled #3" was very beautiful and quite emotional for the bride and groom. Thank you so much for your patience with us and your efforts in making that a success! We so appreciate it and hope to hear you play again in the near future.
Sincerely,
Carol B. - Royal Lane Baptist Church, August 2007

I just wanted to thank you for making the Derr and Fleager families so happy this weekend! They are still so excited about the wedding and the way that it all came together. The ceremony was so beautiful and intimate, and a great party followed. Their “vendor” list could not have been better, and I am so thankful for the care that you took with Kristen and David. Please know how much they appreciate you and the talent you brought to their wedding day! Hoping to work with you again soon!!!

Dear Norbert,
First of all, it was great to hear you this past Saturday—always beautiful and artistic.
Our Associate Director of Music is getting married in Chester Springs, PA (about an hour outside of Philadelphia) this coming October. Someone had recommended a string quartet to her, but she has been disappointed in the quality of their playing. Do you happen to have any connections in that area or know someone you would recommend? We are looking for a group of Gyros quality!
Bradley Welch, organist, Highland Park United Methodist Church, Dallas, May 2007

I wish to again thank you and the Gyros Quartet for playing at St. Luke’s. We still are hearing great complements on the music and that is due to your input and beautiful playing. I will look forward to working with you in a couple of months during Holy Week and will plan on Gyros playing for Christmas 2007 at St. Luke’s. 
Duane Roth - Director of Music Ministries, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Dallas, 24 December, 2006

Norbert, Jason and I want to sincerely thank you and the Gyros String Quartet for the wonderful music you performed for our wedding ceremony....it was absolutely breathtaking! Jason and I could not be happier...the music was perfect and it really set the mood for our ceremony! Here it is over two weeks later...and our guests are still raving about the music! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You are very talented and we wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
Stephanie & Jason K., - Alexander Mansion, October, 2006

Norbert, Chris and I just wanted to thank you and the rest of Gyros for playing at our wedding back on March 25th. You all played perfectly and brought the whole ceremony together. Thank you very much for working with us and we will definitely refer our friends to you. 
Take care & Thank you again, 
Becca and Chris V. - Arlington Hall, March, 2006

Gyros String Quartet provided the wedding music for my daughter's Nuptial Mass in December 2005. The quality of the performance far surpassed my expectations. The selections were played flawlessly. Norbert even arranged a popular piece of music especially at the request of the groom. Anyone wishing to have strings for a special event need look no further. Gyros Quartet is unsurpassed.
Gayle G., - St. Mary's Catholic Church, Sherman, December 2005

Dear Gyros Quartet,
I wanted to thank you again for the magnificent job you did for me and my clients on June 11th. The music the quartet played was so lovely and beautiful. I received so many compliments from the guests and the families.
Thank you again, and I look forward to referring my clients your way. 
Best wishes for your continued success!

Norbert, thank you so much for the beautiful job you did last night - the music was outstanding! I hope you will receive a lot of business from the many people that inquired about who you were. We are so thrilled with The Shining and thought Psalm 23 was just perfect and beautiful! We appreciate it so much 
and hope we have a chance to work with you again in the future. Take care!
Cathy C. - Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, May 2005

Dearest Gyros,
Thank you so much for making our recent wedding so special! We received many compliments on your amazing performance. I am only sad that as the bride, I was the last to enter and the first to leave! We truly appreciate your work.
Erica & Greg G. - Marie Gabrielle, April, 2005

The music was beautiful and with the amplification the guests could definitely enjoy the music. Thank you for your professionalism and dedication.

Thanks again and I look forward to the next wedding we have together.

. . . Other than that, play whatever you want....  My mom and I came to hear you at the Aldredge house (the two women crying while you played Mozart) and are so thrilled you are going to be playing at our ceremony . . . Everything off your strings was magic.
Amy F. - Marie Gabrielle, May 2003

Norbert, What a lovely ceremony on February 1st (2003). You made the evening so magical for my clients. Thank you for your beautiful music you always provide for my special clients.
Mary W. Shah, JWIC - Diamond Affairs

Norbert, Hello!  I just wanted to thank you for playing at our wedding on December 21.  Your music was beautiful!!!  I am sorry they set you in the balcony as opposed to the front.  I think one beautiful thing about music is watching the musicians as they play.  Thank you for everything!  I'll recommend you to everyone I know!
Holly W. - Perkins Chapel, December 2002

Norbert, you probably don't remember but you played at my wedding last August at University Park United Methodist. I never really took the time to thank you guys for how well the quartet played. After it was all over and we saw the video of the wedding we were so glad you guys were there to make our wedding so much better. Everything was so wonderful and it made our ceremony the wonderful, glorious event we wanted it to be. My soloist was so satisfied with how you guys played that she is getting married this May and is looking for you guys to hire you. That is how I ran across your web site again and decided to drop you a line. Once again thanks for everything. You guys made our wedding that much more special.
Melissa and Oscar P. - University Park UMC, August 2003

Mr. Gerl, I was wondering if you could send me a price sheet for your string quartet.
I am getting married on March 15, 2003 at 6:00 at Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington. I also wanted to thank you for your very personal touch. Your phone calls and helpfulness have been wonderful.

Norbert, thank you so very much for providing the musical entertainment for the Open House. I greatly appreciate it and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Dawn Finley - Director of Catering, The Aldredge House

Norbert, we would like to thank you and the Gyros very much for performing at our wedding ceremony. The music played was performed beautifully and professionally. The entire congregation loved the music, as it added the perfect elegance, emotion, and feeling before the ceremony and throughout. Since your music was the only added component to our wedding, it was very important that it was incredible, and it was!
. . . Jonathan and I appreciate you staying to play even though it started misting. It meant so much to us to hear the recessional. We truly thought you packed up and left due to your “no rain” policy. You made us feel more at ease and less stressed about the whole “rain” situation. You will be highly recommended.
Thank you again,
Jonathan and Christy A. - Dallas Arboretum, October 2003

Thank you and your team so much for providing the beautiful music for Jeff and Leslie's wedding last Saturday July 19.
When asked about the wedding, I would always say, "I have booked the bride, groom, room, cake, flowers and music and if all show up and do their part, we should have a beautiful wedding." Well, you certainly showed up and did your part.
Thank you so very much.
Evelyn C. - Las Colinas Country Club, July 2003

Norbert,
Hi! I am so sorry it is taking me so long to contact you to thank you. I just wanted to let you know how beautiful my wedding was with your string quartet!! It made the day so awesome and I want to thank you for that. 
Stephanie G. - First Christian Church of Plano, April 2003

Dear Gyros Quartet,
Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did with the music for our wedding reception. I received numerous comments about how beautiful your playing was - and I agreed! Your music provided an ambiance that really made the reception special.
Thanks in particular for playing the “Beautiful Blue Danube” for me - it made my day!
Sincerely,
Melanie S. - Wyndham Hotel, Arlington, July 2003

Thank you Norbert for everything. I was really pleased with how everything went. I've had so many people say that it was the best wedding that they had been to. It was perfect. Thanks again for all of your help in picking the music.
