She can add other professional musicians on flute, violin, sax, cello, vocal, organ, piano, string quartet, Herald trumpet, or more harps, to make your event a once in a life time experience. Margaret's 4 Dallas Strings is a string Trio or Quartet thats quality of performance is one of the best in Texas. What ever sound you are looking for give Margaret a chance to produce it for you. The wonderful part of our program is we have back up on every instrument so if someone is sick or has a personal problem nothing stops it all goes on smoothly for your special music. Each musician is equally as qualified and trained. Your once in a life time event must be perfect.

Feedback
- Margaret did s great job. She is very professional while being friendly at the same time.Margaret made our wedding spectacular to say the least. -- Jonathan C, Mingus, TX, 9/26/2009
- Margaret played at a gala Christmas party for us. Her harp echoed in the rotunda and was perfect to set the mood for the elegant evening. Later in the evening, she moved to the upper room of the home and played the piano with style and grace, ringing out Christmas carols and songs which kept the festivity of the season. I am pleased to say that we will be retaining her services at our future parties, and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting an elegant, stylish accompanist at their event! -- Derek V, Fort Worth, TX, 12/19/2008
- Margaret is an extremely talented musician. We were fortunate enough to book her for the annual Holiday Party. Playing for nearly 500 people, she amazed us with her harp and piano talents. We would recommend her to any inquiring party and definitely plan on booking her for future events. -- Megan C, Irving, TX, 12/4/2004
- This was such a great experience, all of the guests were amazed at the sound and clarity of the music. My mother was the guest of honor for the party and she pulled up a chair and just sat and listened. Thanks so much Margaret. -- Shawn H, Irving, TX, 3/22/2008
- It was a pleasure to work with Margaret -- she is not only very professional she is an extremely gifted musician. Everyone who has given me feedback on our event has commented on how much they enjoyed the background music by "that wonderful harpist"! -- Meredith J, Plano, TX, 2/1/2008
- Ms Margaret gave an amazing solo that changed the atmosphere of our service. She made special accomodations per our song requests and assisted whenever possible. We were truly blessed to have her attend.

Margaret made the arrangements and it was effortless on my part which was greatly appreciated.
Would use them again and again with confidence.

I just want to thank you for making our wedding so special and memorable. The harp music was so beautiful in the chapel and everyone loved the trio in the reception hall. Once again thank you so much for making our day perfect. -- Ashley M, Denton, TX, 7/29/2007
- Margaret Atkinson was every bit the professional that I had hoped she would be. Her talent is more than my words can every describe. She was much more than accommodating on fulfilling my special requests and all my family at the Wright Family Christmas Gathering raved about her performance. Family members are still calling and complimenting the entertainment. Thank you so much for your help.

Garland, Texas -- Shirley W, Garland, TX, 12/9/2006
- Margaret provided just the right note of elegance and sophistication for an evening cocktail party given in honor of my best friend. From the moment I contacted her to engage her services until I bid her goodbye at the end of the function, she was always extremely thoughtful, accommodating, and perfectly poised. The music was superb! Just the right blend of popular and classical melodies, played with perfection. Guests commented throughout the evening about what a lovely mood was produced by the excellent harpist. I would recommend Margaret without reservation for anyone desiring a "celestial" experience for any function! -- Greg C, Dallas, TX, 3/24/2006
- Margaret did a tremendous job for my sister's wedding. She offered advice and assistance in the selection of repertoire, yet she listened and carefully considered all of the bride's requests. The end product was most satisfying, and her beautiful playing made the wedding. Thank you, Margaret.
