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!

Highly Recommended!

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!

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!
