The Ocdamia Strings

If you are looking for a great string trio, look no further to Ocadamia Strings. We were able to listen to them at a sample performance and were blown away by how they sounded. I decided to book a string trio for my wedding. They have a wide variety of songs to choose from and that made it much easier to select. Margie is efficient in communication and will e-​mail right away with pricing, song lists, etc. She was a delight to work with even though I could have had our wedding coordinator work with her.
On the day of the wedding, I was able to listen to them for about 15 minutes. Everyone kept complementing me on they sounded inside the church. At one point during the ceremony, the church choir sang a song which meant the string trio didn’t have to play. Instead, I heard them playing softly in the background and playing some chords to back them. That was an added bonus.
Thank you Margie, Art and the rest of the string trio for making my wedding such a memorable one. I will definitely recommend you to family and friends who are looking for something special for their event. Keep up the wonderful work!

Being a violinist myself at DLSU Chamber Ensemble and having musician friends attend our wedding, we were all in awe of how precise The Ocdamia Strings played each note in the songs that I have requested. I am one happy and very satisfied bride here having choosing The Ocdamia Strings! Margie is super friendly and accommodating that the whole process from choosing the songs, payment options, flexibility in time performance didn’t give me a hard time at all! She and the group were very professional and I would definitely recommend or hire them in our future events! And oh, I forgot to mention that almost all of our guests complimented me and my groom for soothing their senses with the group’s performance! They loved every music-​from the Eine Kleine, Jesu Joy, to Viva La Vida and Rather Be! Thank you The Ocdamia Strings for making our wedding even more memorable! You’re the BEST!!!

The Ocdamia Strings played at my daughter’s wedding and cocktail hour and were wonderful. Thank you!!!

Ocdamia Strings is amazing! As a wedding coordinator, we are always looking for quality live bands for our brides and grooms. Margie from Ocdamia is so incredible on constant communication! Ocdamia offers an Online Event Planning tool that makes the planning process is super easy and user friendly. The event timeline, music request form, and the payment outlet is easily accessible on their client online tool. They always show up on time, their performances were always on point and professional. The music was absolutely amazing. All the guests rave about them nonstop at any event they are playing. We love working with Margie as she is always so accommodating. There was a hiccup in the past and Margie solved the issue almost immediately! Ocdamia is our go to string quartet for all of our events. Thank you so much for adding a nice touch to our couple’s weddings!

We have the pleasure of having a trio from The Ocdamia String perform at Loyola Marymount University and we were blown away! The professionalism exhibited by the performers was incredible. They were prompt and played wonderfully. To be honest, having the trio preform was a highlight of the event. I had a number of guest ask about the trio and compliment me on how much joy they brought to the event. I have never worked with such a wonderful group of performers and I am excited to have them back for future events. If you are looking for a string group to play at your event you have found the right people. If I could give them 10 starts I would! GREAT JOB!

I hired the Ocdamia Strings (Quartet) for my Son’s wedding. They were fantastic! They brought such an ambiance to the event. Our guests were so impressed by the beautiful music they provided and they were dressed for the occasion as well. Art was on time and organized. The only downside is that the wedding was over in a flash. I know they had no control over that. Margie was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them!

Ocdamia strings is the right blend of music you want in your wedding, so much class when you hear them play… they have an array of repertoire that all of your visitors will love… They come to you earlier than what you have agreed just to make sure they are set up nicely before your visitors comes… A touch of classic and pop perks up your party with a relax and also dance mood… For me the best string quartet out there…

My wife loves string performances so she obviously wanted strings at our own wedding. My fiancée (at the time) scheduled with Margie (the manager) for my mom and I for a free sample performance/​concert in a hotel in Anaheim, CA. I showed up with my mom and my fiancée’s mom. Margie was more than accommodating when we checked into the venue. There were other vendors there selling their services. One was for food, one was a photographer and I forgot what the other vendor offered as of now. Been over a year since I attended this sample performance.
After the sample performance, I definitely agreed with my fiancée to hire them. We got the quartet for the ceremony only. Once we agreed with the cost and contract, Margie and I contacted each other back-​and-​forth via email until we selected all the music necessary for the ceremony. Margie even coordinated with the church music ministry coordinator. I thought it was going to be a nightmare to coordinate between Margie and the church music min coordinator, but it all worked out well. They both contacted each other when they could without me being too much of the middle man.
Thank you Margie, Art, and the rest of the quartet. You made our wedding a memorable one! I will recommend you all to my friends who are looking for strings to be played at any event: wedding, debut, company party and etc.

I hired the Ocadamia Strings Trio for my son’s wedding. This trio added a special mood to the wedding that nothing but stringed instruments could create. It was magical. These three musicians define professional art. The music was flawless; the atmosphere was inspiring and the wedding was joyfully sentimental. Thank you for blessing us with your talent. Unparalleled!

I booked the The Ocdamia String for my wedding this month. They were absolutely amazing! All my guest loved them and enjoyed all the songs. They were right on point and very professional at all times. My contact was Margie and she was always make sure details and times were exactly written. She made things so easy for me and very friendly. They took care of set up and since my wedding was outside they adjusted sounds so that everyone could hear. I thank all the Ocdamia String musicians for making my wedding so special and memorable!

This group performed for my wedding last weekend, and I was very pleased with their performance. They were on time, professional, and most of all they were talented. I have to mention that I am a picky customer and picked works that were from the baroque and renaissance era that they had not performed previously– you’ll not find any pop songs here. But they learned them and performed them with grace, I guess that is the difference between musicians that are professionals vs. casual musicians.
The value I got for my money was certainly worth the extra expense, I just wish I had been able to enjoy as much as my guests did.

Ocdamia string musicians are truly talented. With their long list of repertoire, they can sure deliver in any type of occasion. We enjoyed listening to them play over and over even before our wedding. Their team are extremely professionals. They responded to our questions very quickly, and was there way ahead of time before our wedding ceremony began. Their music was just lovely, and our guests could not stop complementing them! Thank you Margie and team!

I first heard Ocdamia Strings a few years ago at my sister’s wedding and went it came time to plan my own wedding I didn’t consider anyone else! Margie made the entire experience a very easy one. The playlist form was simple and she was always quick to offer suggestions. The trio arrived promptly, dressed professionally, and played beautifully. I absolutely agree with all of the other 5 star reviews here and I know you will too!

I hired Ocdamia STRING QUARTET for my sister’s wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and I was the event coordinator as well. During the process, I only dealt with Margie (Operations Manager), she replies to my email promptly with such a high level of customer care, normally in less than an hour. The contract and deposit invoice were thru email and we were also invited to their once a month consultation event (every last Sunday of the month) for us to have the opportunity of listening to them playing live. And we absolutely loved it!!! Margie is very organized which is a crucial factor for me as an event coordinator.
During the wedding day, the group showed up 45 minutes early (as promised by Margie), to set up and run through. The lead musician also came up to me to verify the playlist that my sister selected. And by the way, I was surprised to see their extensive and versatile repertoire list. My sister selected wedding classical pieces for the ceremony while my brother-​in-​law wants some up-​beat contemporary music for the cocktail hour. Ocdamia String Quartet wedding performance was phenomenal. I got a lot of complements from the guest for hiring Ocdamia String Quartet. One guest in the party who happened to be a professional musician (graduated from USC) came up to me and said that she is very impressed (music and sound quality wise), that this group produced. Moreover, she could not believe when I told her their rates… very affordable.
Overall, I am so happy that I found this string quartet wedding musicians, no hassle in booking, well-​coordinated, you get what they promised. If at any time a potential client can’t make to their consultation event, this group has a YouTube Channel
and their samples were not edited (though, not high quality produce). But, unlike to other sample videos that we’ve seen which sounded like canned music. With the Ocdamia String Quartet, what you hear is what you get!
Again, THANK YOU, Ocdamia String Quartet for providing such an amazing music and making my sister’s wedding even more special. And most of all, thank you for making my job hassle free, smooth and in fact, enjoyable… Margie is one of the most stress free STRING WEDDING that I ever worked with. And definitely looking forward to working with her again, and as an event coordinator, I highly recommend Ocdamia String Quartet.

Ocdamia Strings is a GREAT string quartet company. I was mostly impressed with the fact that they have had more than a 1000 gigs and use musicians in the string quartet that have music degrees. They will sometimes do a live performance for a sample which I saw in Anaheim. This way you can see what you get before you book. Margie is very fast to respond so you are comfortable and confident your plans are taken care of and she cared very much that everything was done correctly. They have a great reputation and are the best string quartet I know!!! I found out though they can book in advance so you may have to book early. They would be the ONLY string quartet group I would ever use.

OCdamia was absolutely amazing! My wife and I had them for our wedding and they were better than we could have ever imagined. Margie and the other players sounded great and they made our ceremony and cocktail hour really special. We had a few songs we really wanted and then they know many more songs to fill the space. Margie was so prompt in her email reply’s and she was very professional. We highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again

Margie and her team are wonderful!!! We had them play for our wedding and they sounded so beautiful!!! We went for a listen and fell In love with the sound! They traveled and were on time and very professional. Our guests loved them and so did we! You will not be disappointed if you use ocadamia strings!

I am an event planner who was very impressed by this company. I had the pleasure of working with Ocdamia for a 50^th wedding anniversary and was very pleased with the professionalism and pricing. Margie (I believe she’s the booking agent or manager) was a delight to deal with, I expressed to her my clients budget and we were able to come to a mutual contract that not only pleased my clients but the musicians as well. Ocdamia Strings is an excellent addition to not only a wedding ceremony/​reception, but any event seeking an elegant setting. They can play the beautiful classics all the way to modern music and every genre in between; their repertoire is massive! The musicians were on time and very pleasant. My clients were so happy and very pleased with the music played throughout the night. I will definitely have them listed as a vendor highly recommended for my future clients.

So, I contacted Ocdamia Strings for our wedding with less than a month’s notice. Margie answered my email within 20 minutes, and it was 10 pm! Fortunately our date was open for them. I was very particular with what I wanted from Ocdamia’s performance and Margie was extremely open and willing to work with me. We had over 30 emails back n forth going over the set list and timing and all my questions — and Margie was always kind and enthusiastic. Having Strings play your event is not cheap, and Ocdamia’s pricing was the best I found.
The Musician’s arrived early, were well informed and completely familiar with all of my 30+ emails and wishes. We paid an extra fee for the musician’s to learn our wedding song and it came out great.
I am obviously, extremely pleased with Ocdamia strings all around.

Wow, I can’t even begin to thank Chris and his team for everything he did during our wedding. First of all, the price was a steal for what he was offering. We had a strict budget to meet and Chris and his team delivered on the same high quality performance as seen in his videos for the amazing promotional rate he had at the time. Not only that, his team was more than willing to learn any song we wanted for a minimal fee and practice as needed with my wife’s sister who wanted to sing during the ceremony. She ended up backing out at the end though, but a kind gesture none-​the-​less.
Chris was extremely flexible given our strange schedule and was able to break up the performance into 2 separate hours due to the venue location and timing. This was a great relief to us as many other groups were not willing to do this for us.
The performance itself was of extremely high quality and we received many compliments regarding our music. We went with classical music during the ceremony and more contemporary music during the reception and every performance was flawless. Not only that, but we were more than half an hour late during the ceremony and Chris and team continued to soldier through the timing issues and adjust as needed, and was perfectly on cue when we did arrive and start our walk down the isle.
I cannot thank Ocdamia Strings enough for everything they did and how well they conducted themselves throughout the wedding. Highly recommended for a memorable experience!
