“Laura was so wonderful to work with! Picking ceremony music was one of the most overwhelming decisions for me of the wedding planning, and she was so helpful in coming up with suggestions and a flow of music. The quartet was very reasonably priced with the quality of music they produced. We were able to pick an amazing playlist from the list of songs they already knew, but she did give us the option of asking for songs not on the list for a reasonable price. The live music made the ceremony even more special and intimate, and I’ll never forget hitting the apex of my song as I walked down the aisle to see my sweet future husband. Highly recommend.”
Dani Amos
“We hired the quartet to play at our wedding. They did such a great job – the music was beautiful and it elevated the whole experience. We requested a couple of songs that were not on their sample playlist and it was no problem at all for them! The string quartet added so much to our wedding day and I would recommend them for any event!”
Alexis Evans
“I cannot begin to express my sincere thanks to you all for your performance at my husband and I’s wedding! You all were wonderful and made the evening much more special and unique. The music was so beautiful and everyone raved about the string quartet we had during cocktail hour. Putting in the hours to learn my requested Taylor Swift songs meant a lot to me as it is something I had always wanted in my wedding one day. I will definitely recommend your group to others who are looking to have a string quartet in the future!”
Savannah Wardlow
“As the Development Events Manager for Oklahoma City Museum of Art, I can easily say that my experience with Laura Naturally, LLC was smooth from start to finish. Laura’s professional communication made making arrangements (which can often be cumbersome) a breeze. In addition to her professionalism, the quartet provided beautiful music to enhance our event. The quartet was also flexible and easy to communicate with onsite. Laura’s quartet would be the perfect addition to any event, and they have my glowing recommendation!”
Lauden Baker
“We scheduled Laura and the string quartet for our wedding. Not only were the strings amazing, they were willing to adapt to our unique wedding venue – our new house, which was still under construction! Their repertoire was awesome and we could not recommend their services high enough. They made our wedding day super fun and super special!”
Stephen
“Laura and her group were such a joy to work with. Our client hired them for a midday wedding reception and they were the perfect entertainment for the event. The music was beautiful, current, entertaining, and relaxing. It created a great atmosphere that allowed guests to listen to the music or get up and chat with other guests. I would strongly suggest Laura for your next musical needs.”
Heather Cole, Forever Cole Events
“I have used Laura for both of my children’s Catholic wedding ceremonies and have been more than pleased with her professionalism and talent. She completely took over the music coordination with the other musicians after I provided her the selections we preferred, which was so nice when planning a large wedding. She was responsive, a joy to work with, and extremely talented.”
Carolyn Laurie
“Laura has played violin in our church’s Piano Trio for several years. She is a musically-gifted violinist and has been a beautiful addition to our music ministry. Laura is also professional in every way – prompt, courteous, and a gem with which to work. She is a blessing in every way!!”
Marianne Kokojan
“Laura was absolutely professional, thorough, and responsive since I initially made contact with her! She made such a stressful process seamless and has a wide variety of music selections. One of the highlights from my wedding was walking down the aisle to Canon in D played beautifully by her string quartet; such a heavenly experience! My guests also enjoyed each note from the beginning to the end of the ceremony! Thank you for being a part of my big day! You all added the perfect classic touch!”
Millicent Olulade
“Since she was in high school, Laura and I have performed together numerous times at the Nichols Hills United Methodist Church, where I am organist. She is an extremely musical violinist–a quick study, affable, reliable, always well-prepared. It is a real pleasure to collaborate with her!”
Dr. Antone Godding
“Laura and her ensemble of three other string players provided wonderful string quartet music for my parents’ 50th anniversary party. When I contacted her she was friendly, helpful and professional throughout my time working with her. I did not have specific piece selections in mind and Laura provided superb recommendations for me! I just told her the general style my parents were looking for and she came up with the play list! If you’re looking for a professional musician that can provide a nice range of music genres, then by all means call Laura!”
Todd Hoisington, New York City
“Laura was the ceremony musician for my wedding with a violin and cello string duo and it was lovely! It filled our venue hall and was so graceful and was the absolute perfect way to walk down the aisle. I heard amazing things from our guests about what a peaceful atmosphere it created for the prelude music before the ceremony started. I really feel like they set the tone for the wedding and it was so wonderful! She was so easy to work with and very accommodating.”
Carmen Marcom
“I retained Laura for a private dinner for my wife and I. Her music was absolutely magnificent and added exactly what was needed to make our special evening memorable.”
Scott England
“I would highly recommend Laura’s string quartet for any event! The quartet recently played at our daughter’s wedding and we received so many compliments about them and their music. I especially enjoyed working with Laura to coordinate the songs during the service. She was very professional and prompt with answering all of our questions.”
Barbara Wixon, Texas
“We were so pleased with the beautiful music by Laura at the memorial service for our Mother. Laura was easy to work with and provided guidance on the selections that fit our goal. Everyone commented on how lovely and peaceful the music she played was and how special it made the service. We would recommend Laura both for her musical skill and her professionalism.”
Catherine Quinlan
“The quartet was absolutely amazing!! We were thrilled with the ambiance they created, and our wedding guests had nothing but praise for the job they did! It truly enhanced the event greatly, and we are so grateful that we chose them! I would highly recommend them to anyone, and in fact, several of our guests mentioned possibly booking them for their own events in the future. Five stars!”
Sarah Taylor
“We had them play our small wedding at Mickey Mantle’s Steakhouse. They were wonderful and easygoing with the room changes. Highly recommended.”
Eric Bromley
“The OKC String Quartet made our wedding celebration beautiful and memorable. Super fun, but so meaningful. If I could give them six stars, I would! We will definitely use them again. Thanks!”
Stephen Ruiz
“I always envisioned a string quartet on my wedding! Laura did an amazing job for our wedding at the Skirvin. Guests loved the beautiful music!”
Rayla Atkinson
“I have had the distinct pleasure to work with Laura for a number of performances both large and small. My impressions of Laura as a musician are that she is very much an artist. Much of what I do when performing is based in emotion and the very first time I heard Laura behind me I could feel her heart in the sound from her violin. She has a true artist’s heart and to work with her for me is an absolute joy. Technically she is terrific, and very low maintenance, and whether it’s for rehearsal or performance she always comes prepared!”
Rob Holloway
Laura was a trooper for our very cold April wedding when the weather just wouldn’t cooperate! Want someone who plays awesome ~and~ is super dependable?! Look no further-!
Jennifer Warner
Laura responds very quickly and is easy to work with. I was the bride so I didn’t get to hear much of the music, but I was told my guests applauded when they finished. 🙂
Lorie Rine
“You helped us create a memorable evening that was enjoyed by all. The quality and variety of the music, your professional demeanor, your talent, and the ease you provided me in scheduling and fulfilling our wishes was wonderful. Thank you for making the evening so special.”
Jacque Gamino
I have worked with Laura and her talented crew for many years. They are simply wonderful! Very professional, very versatile, and very talented. I cannot recommend them enough. Laura will always be my very first call whenever I need string instrumentals.
Katie Long
Laura was very responsive to my inquiries and made it very easy to add new songs to their repertoire as we planned for my wedding. Once the big day was here, Laura & team played beautifully at our ceremony. A string quartet at any event, and especially a wedding, adds instant ambience and class. Highly recommend.
