Amazing contribution to our big day!

We cannot praise Tara and James enough; they helped create the perfect ambiance for our wedding and were a pleasure to work with. We will definitely recommend Atoka Strings to anyone looking for classical musicians for their event.

A Touch of Elegance at our Wedding

We hired Atoka String Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in October. Tara was easy to work with up front and was willing for her team to play any music selection we wanted, even particular versions of the songs. The musicians who showed up to play at our wedding were friendly, professionally dressed, and the music sounded great. The only disappointment was that they did not play the prelude music in the order I had requested. I had communicated the particular order to Tara in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The selection order was both meaningful to me personally, and critical to provide queues for the seating of family and the wedding party. Playing out of order led to confusion right before the ceremony was to begin, culminating in our best men having to walk down the aisle during the groom’s processional song. A critical misstep from Atoka that otherwise would have been a flawless execution.

Excellent strings duet

We hired Atoka based on reviews, how quickly they responded and cost. We wanted to have some classic strings played at my mother-in-law’s funeral. They were absolutely perfect. Not one issue through the entire process. Would hire them without any reservations.

Alex S. • September 29, 2021

Great quartet!

We had Atoka String Quartet play at our wedding this past weekend. We opted for a selection of mostly pop songs, some movie themes and a few classical pieces, and they played everything flawlessly. They added an elegant touch to our wedding while also playing themes that the guests of all ages recognized (as opposed to just classical music). Their repertoire is massive - check out their site to see all the songs they cover. As a bonus, they were consistently responsive via email/text, and their estimate was very reasonable compared to some of the other quotes we received. Don't hesitate to book them for your event - you won't be dissapointed!

Fantastic, professional, and flexible

We really enjoyed having Atoka perform at our wedding - Tara was very communicative throughout and understanding of my periods of delayed responses. They worked nicely to accommodate our requests and fill in the remainder based on our preferences. I'd strongly recommend them if you're looking for a quartet!

Fantastic Group with Great Skill!

Anoka was very easy to commmunicateand deal with. They delivered everything we could ask for and more with short notice and minimal communication. The group was great and very easy to work with. If we ever need anything in that genre again we will surely use them!

Great attitude and great skill. They made our wedding event everything we could've ever asked for!

I recommend them for any event you will need.

Thanks again!
