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!

They really WILL learn any song for you

Magnolia Strings was one of our favorite vendors! They were timely and quick in responses. More importantly- they really WILL learn any song for you. Being Millennials- my husband and I were wondering if Magnolia Strings could possibly learn "Helena" by My Chemical Romance to play while people were being seating. Not only did they deliver- but we got many compliments on the niche addition. Also- I just thought it would be funny if they played "The Final Countdown" prior to starting the wedding processional- and they also delivered! Although we did pick some more traditional music, they were super kind and awesome in accommodating these unique requests and we could not have been more happy or appreciative of them :)

We had a great experience working with Magnolia Strings for our wedding ceremony! They were very responsive and professional in our communications and planning leading up to the wedding. We had a few unique music requests which they easily accommodated. Their playing was beautiful and complemented the ceremony perfectly. They were both very friendly and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Magnolia Strings!

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.

So glad we chose to add Magnolia Strings to our daughter's wedding.

Katie & Raiden made our daughter's wedding ceremony a 10+. Their sound was perfect as they played each chosen song so elegantly. I highly recommend Magnolia Strings and will definitely consider adding them to any type of function we have in the future. Many of our wedding guests commented how their violin and cello performance was so beautiful.

Highly skilled and professional musicians who will make your dreams come true!

We hired Magnolia Strings to play for our wedding ceremony and they played my requests, which included the interlude to Howl’s Moving Castle (Studio Ghibli), Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls and All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera. Their versatility is astounding! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to give a romantic feel to their music in their wedding ceremony!
