Feedback
- Paul Dolid and the Kaplan String Quartet were a pleasure to work with. Communication was outstanding and they were wonderfully flexible. I am so grateful that they were willing to tackle the challenges of our outdoor beach wedding and make it a beautiful experience.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music for their event. -- Maggie L, Oxnard, CA, 4/24/2010
- We could not ask for anything more!! Perfection. Kaplan String Quartet = wonderful. Paul is an amazing professional, both musically and business wise. Very easy to work with and all of our questions were answered immediately. This was in stark contrast to the very unprofessional treatment from another music group which was unresponsive and rude and tried to make it look like it was my fault.
One note: Our wedding was held at the Old Vine Arbor in San Gabriel (Which was awesome by the way!) not at the LA County Arboretium (Who do not answer the phone and vendors despise working with.FYI)
-- Guy C, Arcadia, CA, 9/26/2009
- Paul Dolid was amazing. He was very professional and responsibe during the meetings leading up to my wedding at the Biltmore Hotel downtown. He helped me select music for the ceremony and the execution was stunning. I received many comments on the quartet's lovely performance. I would definitely hire them again. -- Stefanie S, Los Angeles, CA, 5/24/2008
