Ceremony Music of Our Dreams!

Katie and Raiden were beyond anything I could have hoped for. From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive (even when I had bride-brain and forgot to email back). They were also so flexible with our music choices. Some of our songs were popular (Wildest Dreams) but we also had a few obscure requests and they had no problem playing them for us! I cannot recommend this vendor enough. On top of that, they coordinated with my planner for the timeline, and they were professional and on time. Thank you both for everything!

Thank you, thank you!

Katie and her team were a pleasure to work with. Katie was very timely with emails back and forth leading up to our wedding. They were very professional and were a big hit for our cocktail hour and helped with the ceremony as well. Thank you, Magnolia Strings!

We couldn’t have asked for a better musical backdrop for my son’s wedding!

Magnolia Strings was amazing! Very professional, responded in a timely manner help us every step of the way from planning the music, to figuring out where to place them during the ceremony. They performed beautifully, looked professional, and the wedding would not have been the same without them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
