Highly recommend! We booked Parkwest Strings for our wedding to play during the church mass and during cocktail hour and they were amazing! Songhea was very receptive and communicated with the church organist in order to strategize in playing together during mass. The cocktail hour was amazing with the quartet playing all the songs we had chosen. Having them definitely added a beautiful touch to our wedding event.
Parkwest strings were extremely professional and talented! They played for my brothers engagement party a mix of classical and romantic/ contemporary songs which added a delightful ambiance to our party. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!!
Songhea's quartet was a wonderful addition to our memorial service. She was easy to work with prior to the services, and I didn't have to do anything at all the day of to make anything happen, which I greatly appreciated. The process through Gig Salad was easy as well.
