Rami Hagari- Strolling Violinist Violinist from Chicago, IL

Real Client Review: "My Husband and I hired a string trio from 1-800-Violins to play at our Catholic wedding ceremony this September. Rami & Dee Hagari are so talented, and sounded so beautiful. Rami and Dee were such a pleasure to work with, and made the ceremony planning process extra easy. We selected most of the traditional wedding ceremony songs, but made one special request for them to play Queen's "You're My Best Friend", which I'm not sure they've played before. They kindly accepted the challenge, and played it beautifully! The ceremony would not have been as beautiful without them playing. I'd recommend 1-800-Violins for any event!" - Danielle D.
