We hired Katie and Wes as a violin/cello duo for our small wedding ceremony in the redwoods at Hendy Woods State Park, and they were wonderful. The music was beautiful and set exactly the tone we wanted -- warm and intimate without being overly formal. They were also incredibly easy to work with. Our ceremony site required a bit of a walk to reach, we ran a little behind schedule, and they handled all of it with total grace and patience. They played beautifully throughout, including during our wine ceremony and first dance. Highly recommend them, especially for anyone planning something small and outdoors. Thank you both! read more

Katrina, Ben, and Bob played for both our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in August 2023. They were fantastic, easy to work with, and played beautifully. She has a huge list of songs to choose from and we had so much fun deciding which songs to walk down the aisle to. We LOVED the contemporary options in her repertoire (definitely 'Bridgerton' vibes). She is also on Youtube- watching/listening to her videos got us so excited for our music! I would recommend Katrina & Team in a heart beat. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Katrina again and I can't wait until I have another event where her team can play! read more

Katrina (violin) and her partner (cello) did an amazing job at our one hour city hall ceremony! Prior to the wedding Katrina worked with me in planning a list of songs for our ceremony and even learned some new songs for us, throughout the entire process she was very responsive. I definitely recommend her and her partners to anyone looking for great musicians! read more

My fiancée and I were in need of a musician eight days before our wedding as our previous musician didn't work-out. Katrina responded within half an hour of our inquiry and scheduled a musician named Wieslaw to play at our wedding ceremony. Wieslaw was marvelous and he transitioned from song to song with precision and excellence!!! The music selection process was seamless and we were reassured that we chose the right musical group. If you're looking for a professional music service we highly recommend Katrina Wreede Musical Group!! read more

First of all, I would give Katrina 10 stars if I could! Not only are her and her musicians amazingly talented, she is accommodating and kind and she just CARES! In the wedding vendor industry, that's unusual. To find someone who honestly cares and wants to make your event the most special day ever. Let me give you some background. About a month and a half before my wedding, I was convinced by a friend that I needed to do a quartet for my ceremony. In case you're unaware, that's a bit last minute. So I went to my trusty Yelp, looked up quartets in Sonoma area, and proceeded to contact all of them that were listed to see who had availability. Four of them got back to me with availability for my date. Of those four, one was unable to accommodate custom song requests. Down to three. While I cared about cost (wedding ain't cheap, y'all!), I was also very passionate about making sure that the songs I wanted could be added to the play list. This is difficult because it means that the musicians need to learn the song and the sheet music has to be made to translate to the instruments. All 3 quartets could do custom songs (for a price), but only Katrina was willing to do as many as I wanted and work with me to make my vision happen. And let me tell you, I was not easy to deal with. I had about a million things going on, I couldn't commit to a quartet because I was going back and forth with the 2 for awhile, and I wanted 5 different songs for the ceremony (which is too many transitions)! Katrina responded promptly to each of my emails with a positive can-do attitude, even if I hadn't gotten back to her quickly and asked for complicated things. I absolutely wanted my dog to have her own song for walking up the aisle. Katrina made it work. She never told me "no, that's too much" or criticized my plan. She just made it happen. Day of, the quartet was so amazing! I had a number of guests tell me how much they loved the quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They played every song beautifully, and, most importantly, they made my day more special than I ever could have imagined! If you are on the fence about getting a quartet (or trio or duo), definitely do it - and use Katrina! She and her musicians will take your event to the next level without breaking the bank. Thank you, Katrina, for being such a superstar - I can't wait until the next time I get to work with you! read more

I had Katrina play at my wedding at the San Francisco City Hall back in May. She has a ton of music to choose from. I walked down the aisle to Fall in Love by Selena and it was beautiful. She also played popular songs by Journey, Beyonce, Vicente Fernandez, Bruno Mars... she is great and so easy to work with. read more

As a fellow musician, I'm so glad I chose Katie and her string quartet to play for our wedding. Her love of music and expertise were apparent from day one. I'd written a piece to accompany my bride's walk down the aisle, and Katie was not only open to it, but worked with me to shape and perfect the piece! She helped us choose songs in a variety of genres and styles for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The playing was beautiful and set the perfect tone for our special day. She was a joy to work with and we'd happily hire her again. Thank you! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie. We were looking for a violinist for my mom's memorial very last minute and found her from a friend's browsing online. She was prompt and easy to work with. She is generous, kind, and have gone above and beyond what we were expecting. Her beautiful music have helped pay tribute to a well-lived life my Mom had. I cannot thank Katie enough for making her memorial even more special. Thank you from me and my family. read more

Both Katrina and Wieslaw were exceptional. Wieslaw came dressed for the occasion, was polite, and played beautifully. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Katrina was beyond sweet and very caring. I appreciated her flexibility since I was coming out of town and wasn't sure of the exact time. Katrina played for my boyfriend's birthday it was PERFECT. read more

Katie was wonderful and easy to work with, she provided a well organized repertoire of music that she could play as solo violin for for our wedding ceremony. We wanted some unique, non-traditional music. When we narrowed down options she helped us choose which songs would work best while seating guests, and which order of songs would sound good for the bridal party walk and my bridal walk. I was so happy to see she could play music from Lord Of The Rings, and Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, and though we did not choose traditional music it was great to see how vast her repertoire is! It was so awesome to hear her playing inside of San Francisco City Hall because the acoustics in there are amazing and she played beautifully. I had multiple people compliment the beautiful violin music after the ceremony, and later again at the reception. My only regret is not hiring her for longer as I would have loved to hear more of the music myself before the ceremony -- but the guest experience was great!! Thank you, Katie!! read more

I hired Katrina for our Aug 2023 wedding in Sonoma. Her Trio played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were fantastic! I'm so glad we decided to go with them. She has a huge list of songs that you can choose from and is extremely responsive. read more

Katrina Wreede was wonderful to work with from the start through the performance. She was responsive, flexible and professional during the entire process. Our guests really enjoyed the music and I would use her again for our next opportunity. read more

Having live musician was a requirement for me when I planned my wedding. I hired Katrina to play the violin after I heard her samples on the website and looked at some of her set list. She was always responsive during the planning process through emails and even made suggestions for my procession order. My wedding was in Half Moon Bay Golf Links in October. She played beautifully. Although I didn't get to hear most of the music (I was the bride), most of my guests had nothing but compliments on the music. As I was getting ready to do my bridal entrance, I could hear her perform from where I was entering. It really helped my mind ease as I was about to walk out in front of everyone! I can't wait to get my video back so I can listen to the songs again. Katrina's set list has a variety (more than others). I was very pleased and will recommend her again for events or weddings. My only regret is not asking for a duo! read more

Katrina Wreede Musical Groups - Katie in action during my wedding at Half Moon Bay Golf Links! - Performing Arts Near Me

We hired Katrina for our wedding on 7/17/21. It was nothing short of magical, and the live music provided by Katrina and 2 of her associates was a big part of that. She worked with me before the event to craft a play list and get a sense of the atmosphere we were trying to create. While we did miss much of their performance as it was for guest arrival and cocktail hour, she did also provide our ceremony and dinner music. It was all fantastic. The sound quality of their instruments was wonderful, and their technical skill is unquestionable. Katrina helped make our wedding everything we hoped it would be, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who will listen. read more

Katrina Wreede and Dave Moitke provided beautiful music for our marriage reception at Scott's Seafood Garden, Walnut Creek, in May of 2016. We had many compliments on their music and how it provided just the perfect ambiance. In fact, the reception ran a little longer than planned, so we asked Katrina and Dave to play a little longer to which they kindly obliged. We cannot thank Katrina and Dave enough for their professionalism, wonderful musicianship and lastly for just being a pleasure to work with. Thank you Katrina and Dave! read more

From start to finish, Katie was incredible. First and foremost, of course, she and Leo played beautifully for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour--a great mix of classics and fun adaptations of pop numbers, which the crowd absolutely loved. She even specially arranged our song for the processional. Second, Katie was a breeze to work with! She was communicative, prompt, personable, and always professional. Finally, Katie made the process easy as pie: she immediately sent over an incredible set list, reminded me when I hadn't sent our selections, and confirmed times and setup well in advance. 10/10, will hire Katie again. read more

Katrina has been providing great musical entertainment for my parent's wedding anniversary parties for about 5 years. She plays the viola while strolling through the dining room at their retirement community. After dinner their is a steady stream of folks stopping by our table to wish Mom and Dad a Happy Anniversary and to thank them for providing the fabulous entertainment. One year we were late in asking and Katie was already booked so we hired someone else who came very highly recommended but was a big disappointment compared to Katie. read more

Katrina Wreede did an oustanding job at our wedding this past weekend. Katie is a talented musician and outstanding to work with during the planning process. She was able to obtain a string version of "God Only Knows" by the Beatles, which everyone loved! I recommend her and her fellow musicians without hesitation! read more

Katie's (aka Katrina's) trio played for our older daughter's wedding in 2011. They did such a first-rate job, there was no question whom to ask to play for our younger daughter's wedding last week. The ceremony was at San Francisco City Hall, where only two acoustical instruments were allowed, so Katie and a partner played violin and viola. As before, Katie and her partner were on time, thoroughly professional, sensitive to the pace of the ceremony so had perfect timing, and played beautifully for two hours. Before the wedding, Katie patiently worked with our daughter and her fiancé to choose the music. I recommend Katrina Wreede Musical Groups highly. read more

A year ago, my husband and I got married , and we had the pleasure of having the talented Ms. Katrina Wreede play at our ceremony. Our budget was tight, but Ms. Wreede worked with us to accommodate our needs. She has something for everyone, so she and another musician played the cello and the violin. They were true professionals. In addition, Ms Wreede assisted us with selecting the musical pieces. Our special day was extra special by having Ms. Wreede's beautiful music. read more

The Second Wedding in Two Years!! This group is excellent. There are times before the ceremony starts when 'mood' music, which can be selected by the bride and groom (or relatives should a funeral service require) which will fill in the voids where guests are arriving, and getting seated, and need to be quiet and respectful. Here Katrina and her 'trio' can, and do, provide the 'appropriate' atmosphere for the occasion. Well attired, and with no requirments except for three chairs, they play and then 'vanish' when it is over. The day was wonderful, and the missus said "It was great' as I write this. Short notice changes seem OK read more

Katrina played the music at our wedding. She made some great suggestions, then played the songs we asked for. The addition of Katrina and her violin gave our simple wedding ceremony an air of sophistication. We were so pleased with the music provided by Katrina that we captured it on tape and have watched it several times over. Each time the first few bars of each son bring back those wonderful memories. Thank you, Katrina, for making our ceremony so special. read more

We just had a string duo (violin and cello) perform at our wedding ceremony and they were awesome. Katrina helped us a ton during our music selection process, providing lots of suggestions and answering multiple questions. They arrived on time and played exactly what we had asked for. Although we didn't meet with them beforehand, they did send us a demo CD and we were more than pleased with their performances. The strings added an elegant touch to our ceremony and they were very reasonably priced. We would definitely recommend them for your event! read more

Katrina played at our wedding in Petaluma, California on Aug 6th, 2011. They were amazing. It was a guitar voilin duo. Not only did they sound great but they were very professional, no last minute oops or changes they showed up on time and gave an amazing performance. The ceremony music was excellent and exactly as we had planned. Katrina took the time before the wedding to get all of my preferrences down and helped me with options. I could not of asked for more. Thank you soo much for making my wedding day perfect. read more
