Services & FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:

What do I need to do to book the Magnolia String Quartet?

Submit your information on our online booking form or call
us directly at 941.0687 or 601.941.8030.  Once we confirm
availability, we send you a contract immediately.  After you
review and verify details of the event, send the contract back   
with a $200 deposit (applied to total balance).   

Once we receive the contract and the deposit, your date is
secured and we can begin planning the music!!

Payments on account can be made at any time but the remaining
balance must be paid two weeks prior to the event.  


How far in advance should we book the Magnolia String
Quartet?


Weddings                          6 to 9 months in advance (12 months
& Wed/Receptions,           for weddings in May, June, & July).   
Christmas                          If you need something sooner we will
Events:                              be happy to check availability.
                       

Receptions                       3 - 6 months is preferred.   If you         
Social Parties                   need something sooner we will check
& Banquets:                     availability.                



Do we need to meet in person?

Preferably yes for all bridal events but if your schedule is too full
we can handle details by phone and email.  We would be happy
to meet you at a convenient time and location to discuss music
selections and logistics.

Details for all non-wedding related events usually can be  
arranged over the phone or by email.


When do you need a list of selected pieces (typically
weddings only)?

We provide each bride with a ceremony form that should be
completed about 1 month prior to the wedding.  Having this
information early helps us plan ahead and gives brides all the  
information they need for their wedding program.

However, changes can be made up to 2 weeks before the
actual event.


What time do you arrive & what is your standard attire?

Typically we arrive 45 minutes before our scheduled
performance time in order to check in with the event coordinator
or family, set-up, warm-up, rehearse with other musicians, if
necessary and perform sound checks.

Attire for the group is formal tuxedos for the men and all black
outfits for the women unless specified by the event coordinator.


Do you offer assistance in choosing music selections?

Yes!  Because of our extensive experience and large music
library we can offer a wide range of  both traditional and non-
traditional music suggestions.  


Can we make our own list of pieces from your sample
repertoire list and can we include a piece that is not on your
list?

Absolutely!  We put no limitations on your choices of music and
will try to arrange any selection you choose.  There are NO  
EXTRA FEES for arranging music.  However, we will give you
our opinion if a selection is just not suitable for string quartet or
trio (for example, a large orchestral work).


Do you play outdoor events?

Yes!  Our only request when we play outdoors is to have ample
covering from rain, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (hot
or cold).  Any of these elements can potentially damage classical
instruments and cause them to go out tune.  We suggest being
creative with covering by utilizing a porch or tent.   

Feel free to contact us if you have ANY additional questions!
