I have known the players of Fiddlestix for many years so when I got engaged I knew I wanted them to play for my wedding. Margaret runs the booking of the group and is professional and reliable. I worked with her to choose from their extensive repertoire the pieces that I wanted and then we scheduled an audition (not that there was any question of their quality, more to help me choose exactly which pieces I wanted). It was difficult to choose because they can play everything from the classics, Cannon in D, to folk pieces and pop songs.

Once we chose the pieces, Margaret even attended our rehearsal to ensure the timing of the songs would be just right and for my wedding in July, they were perfect. As a violinist myself I can truly appreciate their musicianship and professionalism (many musicians are not very punctual). Through the whole process I knew I could rely on them, one less thing to worry about.

All I can say is you if you hire Fiddlestix you will not be disappointed. They are kind, talented and will be the perfect addition to your event.

Margaret was great with communicating with me either via email or phone calls. They had plenty of songs to select from! They played beautifully during the ceremony and cocktail hour. (Yes, even as the bride, I did hear them playing.)
I highly recommend them!

Fiddlestix performed at our wedding in early October and were wonderful. A lot of our guests were surprised we even had a string quartet present.

Margaret was our contact person and she always responded very promptly. She provided and extensive repertoire of music options, and was even able to accommodate requests that were not on their list. They performed for both our ceremony and the cocktail hour.

The entire quartet was very professional and well dressed on the day of. They showed up on time and there were no issues - pretty good considering we never met or spoke with them in person.

We would highly recommend Fiddlestix for your wedding.

I am extremely happy that my husband and I booked Fiddlestix for our wedding. Working with Margaret was a dream. She pays attention to detail to ensure everything goes smooth. I very much appreciated that. Fiddlestix has a large repertoire of music which is all amazing. On the day of the wedding they were prompt, professional ,and played beautifully. Everyone was raving about how amazing they were. Thank you so much Fiddlestix for making our wedding day amazing.

Margaret is very thorough and will make sure everything is all set for the wedding day. They were able to audition for us so we knew what we were getting ourselves in to. We also wanted two specific songs played at our wedding that they didn't know and all I had to do was find sheet music which is easy to do on the internet and they took care of arranging it for a string quartet. I would highly recommend this group to anyone looking for a quartet. They were also very reasonably priced.

Fiddlestix played for our wedding last weekend. The music was beautiful. For this and other reasons, many guests said it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they had attended. I agree.

Margaret was our contact person. She was incredibly patient in getting music choices nailed down and other logistics worked out. The group was also very flexible and professional. They played an audition that was not antiseptic, but full of energy and passion and this is how we knew we had the right group for us. On the day of the wedding, they were professionally attired and well-organized. The music added to the heart-felt nature of the event.

I highly recommend Fiddlestix for your wedding ceremony. You will find them to be excellent musicians, reasonably priced, and easy to work with.

Fiddlestix Quartet was everything I hope for, and more! My daughter's wedding was only 4 weeks away in Pasadena. I found fiddle stix on line and contacted Margaret. She got back to me immediately and left no stone unturned to insure everything went perfectly and it did. They looked sharp and played heavenly. They have a large selection of music that covers all taste. Our guest were mesmerized. Do not hesitate to choose them for your event.

Fiddlestix played our wedding this past March 2014. We choose them over the other music vendors because they fit our budget, their playlist was extensive, and they were very easy to get along with.

We met Margaret, Cesar, Hans, and Peter at their studio (Glendale) as they auditioned for us. We felt very comfortable with them and their abilities.

On the day of the wedding, Peter wasn't able to attend and a very good substitute replacement came. They played well and we would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you for making our wedding day one of the most memorable moments in our lives.

Fiddlestix brought a level a class to my wedding. From the beginning Magaret from Fiddlestix was very responsive to my emails filled with questions. They even did a pre-audition just of a couple of songs a few months before the wedding. It was a great experience overall. They were very professional and timely. Which was a big deal since my wedding venue was pretty out of the way. I hired them to play for my ceremony and cocktail hour. I heard lots of compliments from my guest about the entertainment. Plus it was a great value; I was married in the off season so I got a great deal. I would highly recommend Fiddlestix to friends and family in the future.
