For Sonja Quintero's wedding on Jan. 21, 2012...

I had their string quartet play at my wedding ceremony.  They played quite lovely and made a dream come true for me!  I knew I had to have the strings at my wedding!  They even played a piece not in their repertoire, free of charge!!  They were fabulous!!

LOVED THEM.  Very easy to work with.  They also arranged my processional song for me (Hem's Burying Song - one of my favorite pieces, but we couldn't find sheet music anywhere), and it was absolutely beautiful.  A+++++

For Yoamy Sanchez's wedding on Sept. 24, 2011...

We used Serenata Strings for our wedding ceremony. It was a last minute addition and I can't tell you enough what a wonderful addition it was! Everyone couldn't stop talking about the gorgeous music! They loved it and I even got to enjoy the last part of their performance as I was walking down the aisle and during our sand ceremony. We worked with Karen through the entire process. Let me tell you, she is a pure joy to work with. So professional and will work with you to get you exactly what you want. I had the violin and guitar and they sounded beautiful! It created the sweet and romantic feeling that I was going for. Great investment overall! Wonderful!

For Natalie and Travis Lockmiller's wedding on July 9, 2011...

For Kristy Haferman's daughter's wedding on Sept. 24, 2011...

Serenata Strings provided a string quartet for both the ceremony and cocktail hour during the reception. They were very easy to work with, have an extensive library of pieces, a great Web site allowing you to listen to many selections featuring different instruments, and sent a demo CD with the contract information. They are very flexible and can play many contemporary pieces as well as classical. They were prompt, prepared and the only thing they required were chairs. I had wanted a string quartet for my daughter's wedding for a long time and they fit the bill. I would definitely recommend them.

I wanted to thank you and the violinist and cellist that did a fabulous job at our wedding (McMahon-Rahdar). I unfortunately did not get to meet them as it was very busy both right before and after the wedding, but they really made our ceremony special. I used to play the cello as part of a string quartet in weddings many years ago and seeing them brought back some really great memories!

I can't express to you the compliments we received.  Everyone enjoyed the strings so much!  I received many, many compliments and have passed your name and number along to many.  They were perfect in the garden setting and sounded beautiful.  In fact, the photographer put in her blog www.mcgowanimages.com how awesome she thought the string quartet was and I passed along to her the information to get in touch with you.  They were really amazing! Thanks again for everything!  It was such a special evening.   They made the night truly special for Lauren and Trenton.

For Sandra Sinatora's wedding on May 29, 2011...

Hi Karen,
Used Serenata Strings for our ceremony musician and was very impressed. They were recommended by our ceremony site, the Dallas Arboretum. We had originally booked a guitarist who bailed at the last minute and we were so worried we weren't going to be able to find a musician that would work. Serenata Strings' portfolio was huge and they play everything from contemporary and traditional wedding music. Karen was very helpful and was responsive to emails and voicemails. During our ceremony, my mother in law wanted to hear a particular song. Unfortunately it was not a song they knew but about a week later we received a letter form them with a CD of the song for us to listen and keep. That was such a kind and thoughtful gesture from them that sets them apart from other ceremony musicians. They are priced competitively and really delivered what was promised. If you are looking for a string musician (we chose a trio) for your ceremony please consider Serenata Strings! Thanks again!  The ceremony (provided by violin, guitar and cello) was absolutely beautiful.

For Stephen Schulman's daughter's wedding on Oct. 23, 2010...

Dear Karen and Jay,
Thank you so very much for your beautiful artistry displayed at our daughter's wedding this past Saturday night.  Though I was outside and couldn't hear all of the music, what I did hear and from the reports from attendees, it was lovely and moving.  I truly appreciate the extra effort it took to transcribe the music I sent you from piano to string quartet.  Again, from what I heard, it was beautiful.  Hopefully, you can add those two pieces to your repertoire and use them at future events!  Karen was accommodating and easy to work with.  Again, I appreciate your wonderful performance and will recommend your group to all who ask.  Many of our quests were string players themselves and were impressed with the performance.  I have heard other string quartets at weddings which were off-key and cracked notes.  There was absolutely none of that from this group.  Please feel free to use me as a reference if needed.  I will give a glowing recommendation!  Thank you again for your splendid performance, I will always be grateful to you and definitely use your group again when the opportunity arises.  Highly recommended! 
With Regards and Thanks,
Stephen Schulman

They were great. They worked with my fiance and I to make sure that they were there the appropriate amount of time and based our cost on how long they were there and how flexible we were. We gave them a lot of freedom to play what they wanted before and after the ceremony because we wanted them to play what they liked and what they played well. The music during the ceremony was beautiful and I was very pleased with their professionalism and price.

Dear Karen,
I wanted to thank you again for your performance at my daughter’s wedding on Aug. 29, 2009.  I knew when I heard your music on your Web site that you are a good musician and I expected good!  You and your colleague exceeded my expectation and the music you provided was exceptional.  Many of our guests as well as the staff at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens commented on your playing.  Thank you again and I’d be happy to provide you with an endorsement.

For Lori and Willie Riley’s wedding on May 9, 2009…

Hello Karen,
I wanted to say THANKS again for the beautiful music your string duo performed for us on our Wedding Day at the Dallas Arboretum.  Walking up to Nancy’s Garden and listening to the music made me so excited because it sounded as romantic as I envisioned my entrance to be.   The music played was performed PERFECTLY.  And then to top it all off, as we walked off with our children following us, and the Brady Bunch theme song playing in the background, it was humorous and fun.   We have received several compliments from the wedding, partly due to your duo.  I will definitely recommend you to anyone that I know that’s planning a wedding.  And we will keep you in mind, should we have another occasion to use your services.  THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Willie and Lori Riley

For a memorable wedding on Oct. 27, 2007…

Thank you so much for making my daughter’s wedding so special.  We listened to the music from up on the balcony, as we were getting ready to come downstairs.  I had many compliments on the beauty of the music and how it added so much to a garden wedding.  I even overheard a friend tell another gal who could not make it to the wedding that there was music from the Renaissance time period.  I was amused at her excitement.

Dear Karen,
I just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful music played at my daughter, Raven’s wedding on June 23.  We received so many compliments on your music.  Everyone enjoyed it so much.  I am so sorry I did not get to meet the rest of the musicians.  Everything was such a blur and trying to get the pictures done quickly caused me to overlook getting to say a personal ‘thank you’ to them.  I still listen to the sample CD that you gave us.  Thank you again for helping make Raven’s and Alex’s wedding day perfect.
Sincerely, Mona
