Special night of music!

We hired Katrina as a string duo as a gift for my in-laws for Christmas. It totally exceeded my expectations! It was such a special night filled with music and singing. They were on time, professional and also so warm and friendly. They put everyone at ease and created a lovely atmosphere that everyone from the youngest (8) to the oldest (70s) thoroughly enjoyed. It was a wonderful treat for all and I highly recommend them!

Amazing All Around

I have always wanted a string group for my wedding since growing up. I found Kat and her team on GigSalad. She was responsive and very communicative in our emails. She was detailed as well which was a huge plus from the start. Unfortunately I had a hiccup last minute with a soloist that really derailed my vision for the Ceremony but Kat was so incredibly kind and encouraging that her and her team would rock it and we didn't need the soloist. I trusted her and she did not disappoint. Although I don't remember the music as I was so nervous and blacked out during the Ceremony, everyone came up to me and said the music was gorgeous and so fitting for us. I can't wait to hear it in our video. She calmed my fears and remade my vision of the day. She came up to me afterwards to thank me and congratulate me which was so kind. She truly has the bride/customer in mind when working and she is 100% worth every penny and we are so blessed to have had her on our special day.

Great group to work with!

Katrina's quartet was fabulous to work with. Excellent sight readers with the music I gave them for the liturgy, which was what was needed for this situation. They provided both instrumental music and accompaniment for the vocalists who were singing.
I received many positive comments from assembly members on the music and the quartet. You cannot go wrong with this group. :)

Professional violin and cellist.

Katrina was very helpful to work with and professional. Our guests at our party enjoyed the violin and cello duo for our holiday party. They played a varied selection of holiday and traditional music. It all came together easily, planning wise. My only regret is that due to the volume of our guests I had a hard time hearing their specific music selections. However, everyone enjoyed them and had a good time.

Katie is an amazing musician and performer! I invited her to provide music during cocktails prior to dinner at my 80th birthday celebration. She was perfect! She played a wonderful variety of songs. She interacted with the guests spontaneously. I appreciated her accommodating her fee to my budget. I also appreciated her willingness to come a significant distance during high traffic time.
Katie couldn't have been better! When another opportunity arises, she will be my "go-to" musician. I highly recommend her.

Engagement Proposal Music

I hired Katrina (as violinist, along with a cellist) to play music from 3:30 - 5:00 pm for a surprise engagement proposal at the Palace of Fine Arts. After proposing to my fiance, I walked over to the dome where she was supposed to be playing during our photography shoot, and I found her absent. The only one playing was her partner (cellist). This was disappointing as this took away from the full experience and surprise element for my fiance. While my fiance and I were taking pics, I bumped into Katrina leaving earlier than agreed. She and her partner had already fully packed at least 10 early. I wasn't pleased by this.

Cellist, Violinist
Katrina Wreede Musical Groups

Response from Katrina Wreede Musical Groups:

I am so sorry that anything I did disappointed you, Justin. We arrived 45 minutes early and started performing 10 minutes early to make sure we were playing when you arrived. At about 3:40, I realized that I had left my phone visible in my car and ran back to retrieve it at what must have been just when you passed. I know that was incredibly unsettling and not what you had spent so much time preparing and anticipating. At about 4:50, I went looking for you to see if you wanted any other special music for dancing, or if you'd just like us to finish off with the list you chose. When I couldn't find you, and you and I had already said thank you and goodbye, I made the mistake of assuming you had left the property. It was such an important day, and I deeply regret having anything not be perfect for you. I would like to offer you a partial refund for the disappointment and will contact you about that directly.

Rolling with the punches...

We had originally booked Katrina for a wedding in the redwoods in Northern California. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we had to ditch that plan and hold an impromptu ceremony at our home in Missouri. We used Zoom to teleconference Katrina in, while using Facebook live to broadcast to friends and family. It worked out amazingly well! Katrina didn't miss a beat.

Katie is pure Magic.

I booked Katie for a surprise proposal at the San Francisco Airport. She was flexible and understanding, but importantly really genuine. She showed the so much excitement and happiness for us. Thank you Katie, for making our moment so magical.

A Violinist Who Plays With Heart

I cannot say enough good words to give Katrina Wreede the accolades she deserves. She played at my Mother and father's memorial service and played every note beautifully as to touch everyone who heard her music. She was both professional and accommodating, showing up on time, and ready to play exactly what we had discussed, yet also willing and flexible if there had to be any changes. I highly recommend Katrina for your any and all of your violinist needs. She was outstanding! Joanne Levin

Very good! Accommodating.

We enjoyed Katie’s violin playing and music selection. She was able to play a request at first glance of the music sheet. She has a nice and wholesome personality.

Katy was excellent

Katy was very good. She was courteous, pleasant, patient and amazing. She played most of the tunes requested to her, and even was gracious enough to give us some extra time. We loved her being there and strongly recommend her for anyone planning a nice gig. Thanks, Katy 👍

The duo we had at our holiday event, a cellist and violinist, were excellent according to our guests. They were well suited for our event. We wouldn't hesitate on hiring them again. Probably will do so next year!

Good playing but communication could be better

Played very well, but was very difficult to locate before the event. Had agreed upon a place to meet and she was elsewhere. Since, it was a surprise proposal, this made things more stressful. Otherwise, good choice of songs and nice playing.

Response from Katrina Wreede Musical Groups:

I take my clients' needs very seriously, especially for something as precious and unique as a marriage proposal. This client was very friendly and nice, but also 45 minutes late for a 30 minute booking. I was at our meet up spot for quite a while, then the venue management sent me to look for her, which I told her by text and phone. She was also unaware that I had to negotiate with the venue on her behalf to allow the music. I regret that it took a while to connect, but don't think a 4-star rating is appropriate.

What to Expect

3 weeks or more prior to the event, we work with you to create a repertoire list that fits the ambience of the event and reflects your tastes. Often just 4-5 song titles is enough for us to know the mood you'd like to create. No need to pick every song. Special requests for songs not in our repertoire may require an additional arranging fee and need at least 3 weeks notice. If you don't see your special song, please ask. We are adding all the time--it might just not be listed yet.

For weddings, we help you pick all the ceremony music. On the day of the event, the musicians arrive 45 minutes prior to our start time to set up and get last minute information and cueing plans. For weddings, the music usually starts 30 minutes before the ceremony and includes the processionals, recessional and cocktail hour music. Sometimes it will include dinner music, too. Styles can change for each part of the day. Just let us know.

Please feel free to ask questions. We want to make your special day even more memorable with exactly the live music you want to hear.

Additional Booking Notes

We provide all our own equipment. You will need to provide armless chairs for each musician (folding chairs are fine) and make sure you have us set up in a location where the instruments are protected from sun, mist and the elements for any outside venue. Usually a large shade tree, large umbrella or shade near a building are great. We need about 4 square feet of flat space per musician--no hillsides. NOTE: The musicians reserve the right to move to a safe location or not play if conditions put their instruments or their safety at risk.
