Magnolia Strings

Magnolia Strings was the perfect choice for my son‘s wedding. They were professional, knowledgeable, and helped with everything from song choice to figuring out where to place them at our outdoor wedding. They can play anything. They played a classical piece, a modern piece, and even an Irish jig all at the same wedding, without batting an eye. They were punctual, dressed smartly, and very friendly. we could not have asked for better accompaniment for such a special day.

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.

This duet is professional, easy to work with and their sound is gorgeous!!

I have heard them play and they did a remarkable job. They were really friendly and helpful.

Magnolia strings quartet performed for my wedding ceremony and they were magnificent. Extremely professional and showed up on time and played all of my requests!!

Magnolia Strings went above and beyond to make our wedding ceremony so special. Our guests loved the music and it was such a special feeling walking down the aisle to one of our favorite songs being played on the strings! We highly recommend them!

Showed up on time. Presentable. Very easy to work with and they sounded beautiful. They learned specific songs that we wanted played for our ceremony at no extra cost. Only note to add was that they did stop playing the prelude music right at 30 minutes, but we were running a few minutes behind, so there was a slight lull in music before the processional music started. It was a little odd and probably a good idea to communicate expectations to keep playing if there's a delay (which happens often at weddings!). I would have happy been charged a fee and avoided the lull. But didn't even think about this possibility ahead of time, so no one's fault really. They provided services as were laid out in our contract.

Absolutely loved having them at my wedding! Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. Katie and Raiden are so kind and professional. You will not be disappointed working with them.

I was so pleased with our string quartet at our wedding! Katie was great at communicating, provided us with a list of potential pieces but also made it very clear that they could play ANY SONG. Our ceremony music was simply wonderful and though I didn't get to attend the cocktail hour, I heard that was great too!!

I cant put into words how amazing magnolia Strings was for my wedding. my guest where amazed at how they where playing. they where so professional and played beautifully during my ceremony. I am so happy to have had both you and your wife playing. thank you so much for making my wedding that much more special.

We were so thankful that we decided to book Raiden and his team to be our music for our wedding! They were incredibly professional and accommodating. We asked for a few specific songs to be arranged and they did it happily. We also needed a bit of light MC work and Raiden was happy to do this for us. Listening to the strings play our first dance was one of the best moments of our wedding. They brought me to tears so many times, in a good way! I can’t have imagined booking a DJ instead, Magnolia Strings made our wedding feel and sound perfect.

I am SO happy I found Magnolia Strings! I was inspired to have a string quartet at my wedding, and Katie and Raiden did not disappoint. I had a vision of pop songs playing during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Magnolia Stings arranged all of the music and they were very responsive to my questions and listened to my requests. Thank you for making my dream of walking down the aisle to "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift a reality! The music was so special and added a beautiful touch to the ceremony.

Our process was quick and easy. The pair are very affordable and we had a nice time collaborating. They did a great job converting my song into an instrumental version. They did a lovely job! I would definitely recommend Magnolia Strings!

They were amazing to work with! Very responsive and will play anything you want. They had the perfect touch to your special day and so worth it!

Magnolia Strings played at our recent wedding in December 2021. They were professional, communicated clearly and promptly, and played beautifully. They even included two special request pieces in our program, on very short notice, which we were very impressed with. We were very happy with them and would highly recommend their services.

I am SO thrilled with hiring Magnolia Strings for my wedding. Raiden and his wife were a delight to work with. They were extremely flexible, accommodating, and talented. They wrote and learned compositions for some special request pop songs (for which orchestral music didn't exist, as far as I'm aware). I was the crazy bride that wanted to walk down the aisle to a cello/viola version of a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song, and they made it happen, and it was truly one of the best moments of my life!! During the planning process, they were patient and flexible. They even agreed to play the ceremony in a dry wash outdoors with no electricity, which I had some other strings players turn me down, saying it wasn't possible/ideal. If you're thinking about hiring them, DO IT! I splurged on this one item for my wedding day, and I do not regret it one bit. Everything was truly perfect. Thank you Magnolia Strings!!

Raiden & Katie have accompanied my choir and congregation, and provided solo and duet presentations in the worship setting. They provide top shelf musicianship with a humble and cooperative spirit. What a classy event your wedding will be if you hire them to provide music for the ceremony, reception, and associated events.

Raiden and Katie are both incredibly talented musicians. They have played at our church multiple times and always do a beautiful job. What's more, they are terrific people to work with. You'll be very happy you chose them for your event.

So glad I hired Magnolia Strings! The music was outstanding and these talented musicians are so professional. My guests were awed at the high quality of the performance. Can't miss with Magnolia Strings.

Raiden and Katie have performed for our event - they were exceptionally prepared, organized, and sensitive to our needs, and it goes without saying that they are amazing musicians. We would heartily recommend them for your wedding needs! Five stars!
