Description
Arrabel String Quartet
The ASQ is a great choice for weddings, private events, and corporate events. They have a wide repertoire of music and can play a variety of genres, including classical, contemporary, broadway, and pop. They are well-versed in music for wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The group is often booked for traditional church weddings as our pianist is familiar with wedding mass music such as responsorial psalms and other hymn songs. For church/indoor events, our team will bring a portable keyboard if a piano is not available in the venue.

FAQ, Booking and General Policy
A Catholic wedding mass has certain key parts such as the reading of the gospel, responsorial psalms, homily, and communion. Often, live music is needed during these parts of the program. Thus, we recommend that our clients book a flute and string quartet with a pianist for Catholic weddings, as our pianists can play for certain parts of the ceremony, such as the responsorial psalms.
Churches have different PA systems, thus we bring our sound equipment on the day of the wedding. Our equipment includes microphones and an amplifier/speaker that needs to be connected to a power source. As long as there is an electric plugin or outlet, everything is set!
Different weddings have different needs depending on location, the couple’s preference, etc. For catholic weddings, we recommend that you book a string quartet with a pianist. Our string quartet can be modified to include a piano, cello, violin, and flute. This combination is popular for church weddings, due to the availability of the pianist to play during responsorial psalms and other readings.
A piano is an acoustic instrument and does not need to be connected to a speaker or power source. A portable keyboard, on the other hand, is an electric instrument. It is often plugged in to a power source such as an electric plugin or battery. It can produce a sound that is similar to a piano and can be modified to create other sounds.

A wonderful string quartet with piano. This review is a little late, but I had them celebrate with me at my wedding reception about a year and a half ago. All I can say is wow! All of my guests had such a great time, it felt like our own miniature concert. We requested a lot of pops music and quite a few disney songs thrown into the mix, which was mostly pre-selected, but arranged for the event. They had such an expansive portfolio of songs to choose from, I’m sure they could customize the performance to suit anyone’s needs. The musicians were really good at following along with the reception program and would gracefully transition their songs as we made announcements and interruptions. I loved the impromptu “drum roll” I got during the cake cutting. They were all very friendly and my wife and I even took a photo with them at the end as they were packing up. It truly made a special day even more memorable. Thank you so much!

After searching throughout the internet for a string quartet, we found The Ocdamia Strings. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. First of all, the customer service was outstanding. Margie was the main contact and she assisted us throughout the entire process with immediate responses. Planning a wedding can be a bit stressful at times especially when a vendor doesn’t respond to you right away. That was never the case for Margie. She explained everything thoroughly and clearly each time. As far as the band, we ended up hiring their quintet, specifically to play a special song on our request. By the way, they have an amazing arranger that can write any music notes if you do decide on a song not on their repertoire. Anyways, the quintet showed up on time, and played our song more than perfect. And I highly commend the quintet because our venue was outdoors with gusty winds averaging 35mpg. This type of weather can drastically affect a musician along with the sound of their instrument, but the quintet played through it, so I am very grateful for them, and I appreciated that they mustered through the bad weather. So what are you waiting for? Hire them now before they’re booked!

Consummate professionals, incredibly talented, and a “we can do anything” attitude. I was so happy with my decision and can’t thank Margie and her team enough. After thorough research, I reached out to Margie at OMG to plan a surprise musical moment for our first dance at my wedding in November 2019. She made planning so easy – which started a year before the event – with constant communication, while making pretty much making anything I asked for happen without hesitation. She was able to understand exactly what I wanted to pull off, offer recommendations, allowing me to make informed decisions without any pressure. Her team showed up early the night of my wedding and were able to situate themselves without having to bother me while we enjoyed our special evening – loved that! Tina (amazing vocalist) and the team put on an unforgettable performance and executed the surprise moment exactly to my vision. I hope to work with Margie and her team again someday and would highly recommend them to anybody looking for any musical services for their wedding or any special occasion!
