The music that the Pasadena Strings provided for our wedding ceremony was truly memorable. Many of our guests remarked on how beautiful their music was and asked us where we found them. They were very accommodating with regard to allowing us to choose any songs that we wished. They actually learned some music just for our wedding. We recommend them highly. Aaron and Heather, Morgan Hill, Calif.

I could not have been more pleased with the performance of Pasadena Strings! They were professional in every way and played so beautifully that it brought many in attendance to tears. They were willing to play any music I selected and offered suggestions for pieces when I fell short on ideas. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Pasadena Strings performed for the 2006 Victim/Survivor Tribute during the national conference for Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The Tribute is a poignant event where victims/survivors gather to remember and honor those killed or injured in a drunk driving crash. The music chosen for the event is important as it sets the tone for the evening. Pasadena Strings was involved in the planning process and chose very appropriate pieces-they were very professional and the feedback from the attendees has been nothing but positive. Thank you for making the 2006 Victim/Survivor Tribute a memorable event for everyone who attended.

I was very pleased with the Pasadena Strings trio (violin, cello, guitar) in every respect, and would highly recommend them. They were very accommodating, to the point of acquiring the music for a request which was not in their repertoire and doing a special arrangement for that song as well as two others. Their performance of these songs was so beautiful and helped make my daughter's wedding day something extra-special. Their level of professionalism and talent is first-rate!

I could not have been happier with the Pasadena Strings! Anne McKinley was a pleasure to work with over the months as we were preparing for our wedding. They arrived on time and were very accomodating when working with my sister on a new arrangement. The group is very talented and everyone commented on how beautiful the music was at the ceremony. Thanks!! We will definitely recommend this group to friends and family.
