Breathtaking.

Where to even begin with Adam!? We hired Adam for our intimate Central Park ceremony, and it made the whole event special.
Playing at Bethesda terrace, Adam filled the area with the most impeccable and beautiful strings. He drew a crowd for our intimate Central Park wedding and had all of the guests in tears.
Beyond his undeniable talent, his compassion and organization really stood out.
He made sure to coordinate with our officiant to take any and all stress out of our day. He played every song we requested perfectly and was just the perfect finishing touch.
All of our guests commented on how incredible the violinist sounded and I couldn’t be happier with his performance and his attention to detail as well as compassion.
We owe you for making our already special day into something no one can ever forget.

Adam did a birthday event for me in Central Park that was absolutely amazing. SUPER helpful in making plans and delivering an experience that will not be forgotten. Scouted the area out day before and made suggestions on logistics and timing. Just an awesome violinist. Beautiful songs, beautiful sounds... One of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend this amazing human being. THANK YOU Adam!
