Parkwest Strings

I worked with Songhea from Parkwest Strings for my wedding ceremony music. She was AMAZING to work with. We spoke via email during the months leading to the wedding and hand a face to face meeting 2 weeks before. They are extremely familiar with catholic ceremonies and her and her quartet added a nice touch to the regular catholic mass music. She also learned a handful of songs for us a couple weeks before the wedding. They were able to perform “Circle of Life” during the prelude and they also learned Beyonce “Halo” for our Unity Candle ceremony. It sounded amazing!!! Songhea also worked directly with our music coordinator at our church which I appreciated becuase it took alot off my plate and I didn't have to worry about anything. She addressed things that I didn't think of like what we wanted them to wear. If you are looking for a professional, well versed, experienced, and easy to work with group for your next event, stop right here and contact Songhea right away. Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so special!

Parkwest Strings learned music for our wedding day and collaborated with friends of ours who were also performing during the ceremony. They were professional, sounded beautifully, and many people asked us about hiring them. We could not have been more pleased with their services.

Songhea and the Parkwest Strings Quartet played at my October wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with their service and talent. Songhea went out of her way to help arrange a song for me to walk down the aisle and she worked so well with our cantor to help put together a beautiful collection of music for our ceremony. I have played the violin for 15 years, so I was very picky about having a good quartet at our wedding. The quartet sounded amazing in our large church. Everything was beautiful. If you're thinking of hiring them, I definitely recommend them!

Parkwest Strings was wonderful to work with. Songhea was super quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. We had to make a last minute change to our location, and they were totally flexible about it. Most importantly, the music was beautiful and all the guests commented on how great the string music was. They're terrific - I definitely recommend them!

Parkwest Strings played @ my wedding and they did a great job. The only thing is if you plan on having your ceremony outside make sure you get a microphone for them. The music was hard to hear for me and didn't really get to enjoy their sounds until I got closer to them up near the alter. They did amazing though, and during cocktail hour played strongly!

Parkwest Strings played music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were fantastic. They were able to play everything we requested and also coordinate the music to our wedding program. Our wedding was at the Botanic Garden and was outdoor but everyone was still able to hear them in a guest count of 380. They were also very affordable. Very easy to work with! Highly recommended!

The musicians were extremely talented. They were very helpful as far as choosing pieces of music and when they would be played during the ceremony. Our e-mails/questions were answered within 24 hours. There were samples of their music on their website.

Song-hea and her team were great. They were affordable, they were on-time, and they played everything we asked them to play. VERY easy to work with and very responsive to email.

"We decided to go with a string trio and they were awesome. The bride and groom had a version of a Metallica song they wanted and Parkwest was fantastic. Everyone loved them." J. Medicino, Danada House

"I hired Parkwest Strings for my son's wedding at Oak Meadows Country Club in Addison on 6/28/08. I was very pleased with their services. They were always easy to get in contact with during the planning of the event and recommended some lovely pieces for each portion of the ceremony. They arrived in plenty of time to set up and were very professional. I would recommend them to anyone" N. White
