Tony was truly such a wonderful addition to our wedding ceremony. He helped set the tone in our beautiful space as our guests read their personalized letters before walking down the aisle, and it was absolutely magical. So many of our guests mentioned afterward how much they loved the music and how beautiful it was. He was also incredibly flexible with our ceremony start time and reserved space, which we really appreciated. Not only did Tony play beautifully, but he surprised us with a Spanish song when my in-laws came up to take photos with us after the ceremony — such a thoughtful and meaningful touch. He even continued playing while we finished our photo session, which made everything feel so seamless and special. We are beyond grateful that Tony was part of our big day, and anyone considering a violinist for their wedding or special event should absolutely consider him. I would choose him again in a heartbeat!

Kailey made our ceremony everything we dreamed of. Prior to our wedding Kailey did such a great job communicating with us to find out exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The day of our ceremony she arrived on time was super professional and everyone loved her we could not have been more happy with our decision to have her play at our wedding.
