Report
We had the Kansas City Strings play for our wedding, and they did an absolutely wonderful job. Joe was so easy to work with and on top of everything for our wedding. They showed up early to set up and also provided us with a sound system for the wedding. The music was just perfect, and they were able to accommodate so many of my music requests. Thank you all for helping make the day perfect!
