My sister’s daughter was married two years ago and used a high school quartet, and had such a bad experience with that. Your musicians looked so nice and classy and played all the songs right on cue. And with a Catholic service and other musicians playing at other parts of the mass, that is a somewhat difficult task! The Ave Maria was so majestic, and of course my favorite Canon in D brought chills to me. The Unchained Melody made me weep, and everyone of course loved the Halelujah from Shrek! We were so pleased and the music brought so many people to tears. It was so beautiful, and I will highly recommend you to others.”

For Barbara Johnson’s daughter’s wedding on Feb. 19, 2005…
Hi Karen,
“Just wanted to send a “Thank You” for such a beautiful strings presentation!! It was absolutely beautiful! We received so many wonderful compliments about how beautifully the string trio played. I wanted to also thank you for the extra work you did on the song with the vocalist. At the beginning it did not seem possible but you made it possible and beautiful. Scott (Organist) was impressed with you pulling that off without having the arranged music. What a professional job that was. I was also impressed with the correspondence between you and me. Every time I had a question you were extremely prompt with your reply and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns and made me feel right at ease with everything! Thank you once again!”
Sincerely, Barbara Johnson

Also, please extend my thanks to all the members of the quartet.”

When anyone has asked about the wedding, I keep using the word “wonderful.” The setting, the decorations, the weather, the music – all came together in perfection to make it a day I am sure Emily and Daniel will treasure forever. One could not ask for a more memorable start to a life together than such a day. You can be sure that I will be keeping your name in file should I require lovely music for another event. Again, my thanks for adding the very special touch of your wonderful music,”

For Teri and Trent Thompson’s wedding on Oct. 5, 2002…
“While my bridesmaids and I were sitting in a room off of the chapel, we propped the door open a few inches so that we could enjoy the prelude music. Every song seemed to be played to perfection. The quartet was the perfect addition to the ceremony – organ music can be overly dramatic and commanding. The strings were calming, graceful, and sophisticated. I feel very fortunate to have found such talented and responsible musicians to be part of our wedding. Thank you for being part of our special day!”

For Dora Manuel’s wedding on May 4, 2002…
“We wanted unique music for our wedding ceremony, but I wasn’t familiar with any of the songs on the string group’s repertoire. Karen played several songs for me over the phone and helped me select songs that were unique, but appropriate for a wedding. The string quartet also learned a song I requested they play from a sheet of music that was arranged for bagpipes! The music at the wedding turned out beautiful. Thanks.”
Dora Manuel
For Ryan Cunningham’s wedding on April 13, 2002…

I was particularly appreciative of the quartet’s ability to play whatever music we selected. With so many details to worry about during a wedding, it was nice to hear the music at the ceremony played so perfectly. The music certainly affected the atmosphere of the ceremony and we could not have imagined the wedding without it. We have received many compliments on the music you played and want to thank you all again for your great performance.”
Ryan Cunningham
For Dabney Jungerman’s wedding on Oct. 6, 2001…
“This group of musicians was a beautiful part of the wedding ceremony. They arrived on time, and set up in an unobtrusive manner. The musical background for guests arriving was lovely, and the volume and tempo appropriate for the church.
The music performed for the processionals was perfect, and I loved being able to notice and identify the selection used for the time when I was seated. The bridesmaids’ processional was lovely, and the music tempo was correct.
I would feel good about giving a recommendation based on our experience with them. Karen and her friends were a lovely part of the wedding.”
