    (2 of 2) ...then, ORCHID QUARTET backs out of providing those other musicians -- and blames the clients because they are disappointed.
    Ian S.

    A REAL WARNING, with receipts included: The Orchid Quartet is very talented and entertaining, as a musical group. Go to their Candlelight Concerts -- we've seen them in several and there's nothing to dislike... But never hire them for an event: my partner and I made the grave mistake of booking them for our wedding. We spent an ungodly amount of money to fly them out and put them up in five-star accommodations, just for them to perform for about two hours. Then, they decided to take a Panic! At the Disco gig over our wedding (see photo 1 of 2). (And to be frank, I kind of get it -- why would you play at a someone's wedding when you COULD be playing for a top-tier band at a big show in Vegas?) It just felt hurtful and it was a tremendous betrayal to be sidelined like that, particularly after signing a (supposedly binding) contract that WE couldn't back out of -- but, evidently, they could/did. So, we were obviously let down and disappointed, and we let them know this the way mature people would -- firmly, but with absolutely no abusive language, no profanity, nothing threatening -- and THEN things got next-level ridiculous with them (see photo 2 of 2). This is the juncture where they backed out of even providing substitute musicians for themselves because they were, somehow, surprised that we felt disappointed and letdown -- in their exact words, that "created an environment not conducive to a positive and collaborative experience." It was around this time that we realized they probably had never intended to play at our wedding: Their point of contact, cellist Leah Metzler, let it slip that they hadn't even arranged the pieces we'd requested (and were commissioning) for the wedding yet -- that was just a little over a month prior to the wedding -- so they still would have had to arrange, learn and practice six brand-new pieces beforehand. Leah ALSO tried to gaslight me into thinking that we hadn't confirmed a date with them (also photo 2), even though they clearly confirm it in their December 11 email (photo 1), going on to say that they are "fully committed to providing the music for [our] event..." Unreal. (If I seem vindictive in writing them a one-star review because they, point blank, backed-out of playing our wedding for something more attractive and couldn't even be bothered to send second-string players in their place, ask yourself how you'd feel...) To be fair, I want to reiterate that these are very talented musicians (watching Michelle Shin, violin, slay pretty much anything she plays is typically worth the price of admission alone). That's what made the entire ordeal all the more devastating to us; as I relayed to Leah, people were going to be flying in from all over the world to hear them play at our wedding and everyone was so excited about it. This didn't resonate, which is pretty soul-crushing; that you can have a signed contract with Orchid and then they choose a flashier gig over your own wedding? It hurts. And I'm not writing this review to trash them, but rather to genuinely warn anyone thinking of booking Orchid Quartet -- they might seem dedicated to you at the onset, but they'll dump you for something else at a moment's notice (and try to make YOU feel guilty for being upset about it).

    We did not see the Orchid Quartet we saw the musicians at a Fever show at the Nixon Library. It was wonderful.

I reached out in October 2025 to reserve for June 2026 and they said their booking for the following year didn't open until January 10 and to reach back out when the time came. Well the time came and I texted to reserve and the women mentioned they only had slots available that I did not accommodate our event. It's disappointing because I even texted before the date she mentioned and she could have reached back out saying she was able to book when she did. I think this mariachi looks very talented and it was perfect for an all women group to be part of this specula day but the lack of communication is not okay. Especially when sent her a text and did not reply. Smh

From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he checked in with us several times to make sure everything was on track and helped us create a solid timeline to keep the event flowing smoothly and the energy high throughout the night. On the wedding day, he arrived on time, fully prepared, and executed everything flawlessly. One thing we really appreciated was his honesty and fair pricing. Unlike several other Iranian DJs we contacted, he didn't nickel-and-dime us because of our remote venue location. His pricing was reasonable, and the level of service he provided was exceptional. Beyond being a great DJ, he's simply a wonderful person--friendly, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in making your event successful. His music selection was fantastic, blending both Persian and English songs seamlessly and keeping guests of all ages on the dance floor. If you're looking for a professional, experienced, reliable DJ who knows how to keep a party going, we highly recommend DJ Taraneh. We couldn't have been happier with our choice.

He was attentive, funny, lighthearted, and welcoming during the entirety of the wedding, and we just knew we wanted an individual such as that for our wedding. In the lead-up to our big day, JK's guidance was refreshing and invaluable. He gave experience, broke down details of our reception schedule, and provided ideas to personalize our reception that best fit the goals of our wedding. As a bonus he is fluent in Korean, so alot of our guests who don't necessarily speak english as their first language benefited from his translation during our reception. All our guests had such a great time, and he was such a natural during the event, a lot of our friends thought he was a member of our family haha. Without a doubt, JK is the person to book if you want a smooth event that feels inviting and fun for your attendees. Don't hesitate and reach out to JK for any event you have planned!
