Excellent Trio!
We loved having Parkwest Strings do the ceremony and cocktail music for our wedding. We had a trio, which was perfect for our small wedding. Parkwest Strings has an extensive music list to choose from and will also learn requests if you want music that is not listed in their repertoire. We had classical music played before and during our ceremony and modern music played during cocktail hour. The musicians are all very talented and incredibly professional. Songhea made planning the music for our wedding a breeze with clear instructions, a wedding worksheet to complete, and quick communication. We highly recommend this group!We loved having Parkwest Strings do the ceremony and cocktail music for our wedding. We had a trio, which was perfect for our small wedding.

Best String Quartet!
Highly recommend! We booked Parkwest Strings for our wedding to play during the church mass and during cocktail hour and they were amazing! Songhea was very receptive and communicated with the church organist in order to strategize in playing together during mass. The cocktail hour was amazing with the quartet playing all the songs we had chosen. Having them definitely added a beautiful touch to our wedding event.Highly recommend!

Highly, highly recommend Parkwest Strings for your next event!
From our first initial e-mail to our wedding day on 10/11/19, Songhea from Parkwest Strings has been one of our favorite vendors to work with by far. Songhea was extremely professional, personable, and thoughtful when helping plan our ceremony music. Our guests are still talking about how phenomenal the string trio sounded! We wanted contemporary music played during the ceremony and Songhea and her fellow musicians went above and beyond. Thank you for making our wedding ceremony so memorable!From our first initial e-mail to our wedding day on 10/11/19, Songhea from Parkwest Strings has been one of our favorite vendors to work with by far.

So fantastic!
Songhea and the rest of the band were absolutely amazing. They were so flexible and accepted every single one of our song requests... they even did a custom arrangement for us at no additional charge.
They were so easy to work with leading up to the event and on the day of they were perfect.

We had Parkwest Strings play at our wedding ceremony on July 14th, 2018. First, they were very easy to work with, and the booking and billing process was quick and simple. We only needed them for our ceremony, but they were willing to travel between ceremony and reception. They played our requested selections beautifully and worked with the organist to play parts of the catholic mass, even though they weren't required to play those pieces. The string trio added to the enchanting atmosphere we were looking for and helped make our special day that more amazing. Finally, we found their price very affordable and within our budget. We definitely recommend them.We had Parkwest Strings play at our wedding ceremony on July 14th, 2018.

We had a Sunday brunch wedding, and had a string trio play for both our ceremony and reception—they were absolutely wonderful!! The music was beautiful, and we got many compliments on the ambiance their music provided. The trio was very professional and flexible, and moved inside during brunch, then back outside for the reception when we played yard games. They were a perfect addition to our wedding day!We had a Sunday brunch wedding, and had a string trio play for both our ceremony and reception—they were absolutely wonderful!!

If you are considering using a string trio or quartet for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour you should definitely go with Parkwest Strings. From the beginning they were very easy to work with. We booked the string trio for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It made our ceremony much more unique and romantic. It was also great to pick from their wide variety of songs and customize the music for our event! This allowed us to use modern music for our ceremony in a way that was still wedding appropriate. The trio performed beautifully and was on cue with every song change. We highly recommend Parkwest Strings!If you are considering using a string trio or quartet for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour you should definitely go with Parkwest Strings.

I would recommend Parkwest Strings to anyone looking for a string trio/quartet for their wedding. Songhea was an absolute joy to work with and is so flexible. The music was definitely one of the top 3 highlights of the day! I was in a really bad car accident the day before the wedding and as a result other things ran behind...including my arrival to the ceremony on the morning of the wedding (we were planning on transporting my parents to the wedding but our car was completely wrecked...had to do some very last minute re-arranging). I can't tell you what a comfort it was amidst all of the chaos to know that my guests were provided with beautiful music as they waited for our arrival...it was so soothing to everyone. Parkwest Strings, you were one of those who saved the day for us. I can't thank you enough!I would recommend Parkwest Strings to anyone looking for a string trio/quartet for their wedding.

I could not be more happy with my decision to hire Parkwest Strings to provide the music at my ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a 4 string quartet. I wish I had taped the ceremony because all I have are my memories of how amazing they sounded.I could not be more happy with my decision to hire Parkwest Strings to provide the music at my ceremony and cocktail hour.

Songhea and her musicians are so incredibly talented. We wanted only untraditional/more modern songs and they played them beautifully. They’re also very flexible, willing to learn new songs, and even rehearsed with one of our friends that sang during our ceremony and it was terrific.

Parkwest Strings performed at my wedding a few weeks ago at the Knickerbocker Hotel in downtown Chicago and It was an absolute pleasure to have them as part of our special day. Parkwest played from the wedding ceremony prelude until the end of the hour long cocktail reception. Unfortunately my wife and I didn’t get to enjoy them as much as our guests (we had pictures to take) but everyone said that they filled the room with the beautiful sounds of both Classical and Contemporary music. Throughout the entire process Songhea was professional, attentive to our needs and requests, worked around our hectic hours when it came to consultation times and gave great input on song selection. She suggested two or three songs for each portion of the ceremony and used our selections to determine what our guests would enjoy for the reception. I would highly recommend Parkwest Strings. I think they would bring that special touch of class to any event.Parkwest Strings performed at my wedding a few weeks ago at the Knickerbocker Hotel in downtown Chicago and It was an absolute pleasure to have them as part of our special day.

I worked with Songhea from Parkwest Strings for my wedding ceremony music. She was AMAZING to work with. We spoke via email during the months leading to the wedding and hand a face to face meeting 2 weeks before. They are extremely familiar with catholic ceremonies and her and her quartet added a nice touch to the regular catholic mass music. She also learned a handful of songs for us a couple weeks before the wedding. They were able to perform “Circle of Life” during the prelude and they also learned Beyonce “Halo” for our Unity Candle ceremony. It sounded amazing!!! Songhea also worked directly with our music coordinator at our church which I appreciated becuase it took alot off my plate and I didn't have to worry about anything. She addressed things that I didn't think of like what we wanted them to wear. If you are looking for a professional, well versed, experienced, and easy to work with group for your next event, stop right here and contact Songhea right away. Thank you so much for making our wedding ceremony so special!I worked with Songhea from Parkwest Strings for my wedding ceremony music. She was AMAZING to work with.

I found most of the vendors for my May wedding online using yelp, wedding wire, the knot, etc. I scoured reviews and hoped the best! And with Songhea and a Parkwest Strings-- that's what I got. It was a great and easy experience working with Songhea from start to finish. We chose a wide variety (think everything from Snoop Dogg to Tom Petty). And they could play everything! Just one tip: make sure they can be heard. Our crowd drowned them out during cocktail hour.I found most of the vendors for my May wedding online using yelp, wedding wire, the knot, etc. I scoured reviews and hoped the best!

I loved, loved, loved these musicians. Working with Songhea was so easy. Every song I requested, the musicians were able to accommodate. They were also very flexible, even when it started raining. Also, my husband had planned a surprise for me and needed the musicians to provide some special music, which they were able to do on short notice. They were wonderful.
