  Hire kate!

  Kate is wonderful! She was perfect for our cocktail hour. She played outside in the heat, our guests loved her and it was a perfect touch to add. Highly recommend Kate to any brides. She will definitely not cause you any unneeded drama or headaches. She is on time and was wonderful to work with.

  Angelic string trio!

  
  We highly recommend that you look no further than O’Brien Strings who played the cocktail hour of our wedding reception! We employed a trio and Kate was responsive and receptive to all our needs. Kate’s violin, viola, and cello trio were professional and timely, welcoming our guests with the sounds of angels singing. The trio was the perfect backdrop for our cocktail hour and set the tone for the rest of the reception. Kate’s trio exceeded all expectations while creating an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment by playing from a large repertoire of classical and contemporary compositions. We cannot speak highly enough regarding how impressed we were with Kate’s professionalism, willingness, and proficiency to provide the melodious backdrop for our special day.

  I loved working with Kate O'Brien! She was so helpful and was eager to assist in any way she could. She was also very experienced so she was able to discuss order of events and how she would proceed for the day of the wedding. Never for a second did I have to worry about her showing and performing well. Wow was she and the other two ladies she worked with amazing! They played beautifully, they even did the game of thrones theme song as we requested and our guests are still talking about it!!!! I would highly recommend O'Brien strings, their talent was beyond my expectations!

  We had found Kate through research online and hearing her name from a couple of the other wedding vendors. We're so glad we booked her for our church ceremony. We ended up doing a quartet with strings and a trumpet and honestly, it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The music set an amazing tone for the ceremony and their timing between songs and events was perfect. Working with Kate was wonderful, she was very responsive and receptive to the vision that I had for the music. When I didn't know what to do for the candle ceremony, she sent me a list of appropriate songs that were all perfect. I'm very happy with how the music turned out and would definitely recommend using O'Brien strings for your ceremony!

  Kate played violin with an acoustic guitar player she uses for our ceremony music. She created such a romantic backdrop for our wedding. We did not use the traditional music for our ceremony but Kate was so great to work with and made it so easy to create a song list that reflected our personalities. She was very professional and is a talented musician. I would definitely recommend Kate.

  I booked OBrien Strings to play at my wedding ceremony in October 2009. They did a beautiful job! Kate was easy to get in touch with and able to accomodate my requests. I'm really glad I had them there!

  Kate and her fabulous string trio provided the ceremony music for our wedding recently. Her repertoire is unmatched, and we LOVED that she has so many modern songs to choose from! My husband is a huge Beatles fan, so he was thrilled to be able to create a playlist from her repertoire of his favorites. When we requested a song not on her playlist, Such Great heights by Postal Service, Kate and her musicians learned it for us before the big day! Their sound was BEAUTIFUL and it set the tone for our intimate ceremony.
  
  I had to mark less than 5 stars in the flexibility category, simply because there was a strict "shade" policy for outdoor ceremonies which proved to be a bit of an issue for us. But that policy might be standard with all classical musicians & their instruments being out in the bright sun.
  
  I also had to mark less than 5 stars in the Quality of Service category because several of my guests complained of not being able to concentrate fully on the ceremony because they could hear Kate counting out the measures and changes to her musicians. It can be heard on some of our video footage as well. This may have been due to the fact though that we were in a large barn, and the sound may have just carried.
  
  I would definitely hire O'Brien Strings again. They are true artists, and made our ceremony simply lovely.
