Exceptional Service and Beautiful Music

We hired Cascadia to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour and they added so much to the magic and elegance of our day. They were super easy to work with and accommodating of our requests -- they also have an extensive repertoire and were able to play all of the songs we wished for. They're incredibly talented and we, along with our guests, were so impressed with their renditions. Highly recommend.

Perfect for our wedding

We couldn't have been more happy with having Cascadia Strings for our wedding ceremony. The music was beautiful and they had a large selection of classical and modern songs to choose from. They even arranged to play a custom song for us for a very reasonable price! This made our ceremony that much more special. Would 100% recommend

Expected the best and was NOT disappointed

I hired the Cascadia Quartet for my wedding this past August and am grateful to Kathryn and the rest of the team for their professionalism and attention to detail. The communication was prompt and the rates/packages/repertoire lists were all very clearly laid out, it made everything so easy to put together. I was fortunate to already be acquainted with the musicians but for anyone reading who might not yet be, rest assured that they truly are high-caliber professionals.

Everything we could have hoped for and more!

Absolutely incredible!!! We hired these talented and highly skilled artists to play at our wedding and were blown away. Kathryn has the best customer service. I had very specific song requests and timing (I'm a Type A bride) and Kathryn worked with me to bring all our musical dreams come true. If you are debating hiring them, wait no further, DO IT! You will not be disappointed. Having such stunning live music on our special day adding so much magic and emotion. Our guests and ourselves felt so blessed by their performances. Thank you again!

Perfect addition

My husband and I hired Cascadia Strings to perform music for our wedding ceremony - and they were the perfect addition. So many of our guest commented that the trio added to the ambiance and loved our song selections - which Kathryn had been so helpful in providing recommendations. Our ceremony was so much more special thanks to Cascadia!

Perfect and worth every penny!

We had one heck of a wedding with lots of vendors that were just ... well ... off their A-game. Cascadia Quartet was not one of them. They were so professional and their music was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely use them again! My only regret was that I didn't have enough time as the bride to stop and listen to their music!!

Wedding Music

We hired Cascasdia Quartet for our wedding at Saxe Pointe Park in Victoria. We were fortunate to have a beautiful day right beside the ocean. The music set the tone for a glorious ceremony. We worked with Katherine and her husband on the music selection months beforehand. They were so helpful and it was really great to be able to get their advice. They are both very creative and we ended up with a wonderful mixture of classical and modern music which made our ceremony unique and very personal.

We highly recommend Cascadia Quartet for a memorable wedding or event.
