"Working with Songhea and Parkwest Strings can be summed up in one word - EASY. We had them play during our ceremony and cocktail hour.

"Unbelievable. This vendor was easy to get a hold of, professional, talented, and so accomodating. They made our wedding day just beautiful. They coordinated with other musicians, were affordable, and learned music that we requested on short notice. I will recommend them to everyone! I can't say enough great things about them!"

"Parkwest Strings was a delight. Very professional. They were prompt and curtious with correspondence. On time, prepared and pro-active with the play list. Our wedding guests were very happily surprised by the contemporary music and the children were in awe of the performers. I cannot say enough about what a positive impact this group had on our party. If they had a 6 for the ratings, I would have chosen that! Thank-you Parkstrings- we could not be happier with our selection of your group (we had string quartet for 3 hours)."
